[ besides attacking... who knows, maybe asking politely will work? ]
Depends on what the person who was voted for chose. If they chose combat, someone else would go into this weird empty space with them, and they could use the paintball guns to change the space and make what they needed for the fight. If they chose execution, it was just them... The prism would create these illusions based on their experiences that would eventually lead to them dying somehow. I don't think I fully understood how that worked, considering...
No matter what they chose, though, we always had to be there. We'd get pulled into the central node and stuck in place, and it would play out in front of us - not like it was a movie, though. And whatever happened, it affected all of us somehow, too - like how the skeletons changed today.
I will simply leave after being seated, depending on how execution presents itself next week.
[ It all depends. ]
... In that case, only the convicted get a choice in all of it. [ ... ] Not everyone should be forced to watch an execution, no matter how poetic or colorful it is. It's unnecessary for the audience or the convicted.
Were the deaths caused by some kind of possession mechanic in the Prism as well?
Mm... That would be nice. If it works, I might go, too.
[ nodding. ]
But they didn't give Sieg a choice. At least, not that I know of... They made their decision before we got to leave the trial, before.
...Refracting, mostly. Someone's colors got out of balance, and made them unstable. Sometimes it made them angry, or think what they're doing is helping the person they killed, or something else - it changed from person to person. It wasn't possession, exactly, but they weren't really in their right minds, either.

Detestable… I may say it seems mandatory here, but there’s a chance that isn’t true. I didn’t have the luxury of leaving due to circumstances.
[ Because. Well. He attacked skeletons and got frozen. ]
What were executions like in this Prism?
