paint the man, cut the lines
[Meredith appears on a platform with a screen beside her. It is a hologram. Wherever your character is, if they are on the Plane, they are seeing this.]
Some of you expressed concern about what would be done to the individual chosen in the vote, and I can tell you now. We gave him his wish. We made him immortal. You didn't pick the responsible person, but it isn't a problem. The conditions were met.
[The screen flickers on, and it's the Master. He is bound to a table and his body is painted in an odd pattern. A hooded individual lowers the knife towards the line that starts at the Master's navel. And no one can keep from screaming forever.
The transmission cuts after that first burst of noise.]
It's just more of the same, so you don't really need to see more. But I can show you any time you want to check in on him.
[For all this, the even expression under the hood has not changed.]
You might want to know what the conditions were. Some of you already know that beings who want sacrifices can be selective. It's why we needed your help to select a subject. The subject had to be voted for by more than fifty percent of the voters. If no one had won that many votes, no one could be selected. Every person that didn't vote made it a little bit more likely that someone would meet the requirements.
To people who voted, we're sorry that the others didn't counter what you did. You tried, though. Perhaps knowing that will help.
I should also mention that one voter alone guessed correctly. If those of you who voted come together, you might be able to work at who really did it.
[She pauses, listening to something outside of the projection's range. Then...]
Be careful in the library.
[And then the hologram goes out.]
