Mini 90 - Sign-ups

[Ktoasty]

Welcome to Milgram, a prison for a small group of incarcerated prisoners. They may look harmless at first glance, but don't be fooled, they are all murderers. However, what happened, what they were thinking, and how they took someone's life is unknown.

Then there is the prison guard. Their job is to find out the truth and the motives behind the prisoners' actions. Once they do, the guard has the power to deem them innocent or guilty.

How are their sins supposed to be unveiled? In Milgram, we're able to extract their mental images as music and videos, all of their sins hidden in there. A pretty cool system, don't you think? You never know what will come out.

Well, that's about it. We're going to be together for a while... so enjoy the ride.

"Good day, prisoners. My name is Es. I'm the prison guard. This place is Milgram prison. It exists to judge your sins.

I don't know much about you lot. What I do know is that all of you are killers - that's it. From now on, I'll have you all enlighten me about yourselves.

Once again, welcome to Milgram. Have a nice life in prison."

{Spoiler}

1: Panopticon: a dome-shaped room surrounded by all of the prisoners' cells. Prisoners' cells will be numbered and designed with their talent in mind.
2: Dining Hall: for eating. Jackalope makes their meals in the kitchen towards the back of the hall.
3: Common Room: for leisure. Rather empty, the prisoners will have to bring their own recreative items.
4: Shower Room: for cleaning. A single divider wall separates the room into two sides.
5: Storage Room: for requests. Prisoners who were judged innocent may receive anything they ask for from here.
6: Jackalope's Room: a bedroom for the rabbit with horns. The door here is too small for a human to fit through.
7: Es' Room: a bedroom for the prison guard. Well-kept with a library of law books. They are a heavy sleeper.
8: Court: where the trial will eventually be held. Also where interrogations were held to extract the prisoners' songs.

...

No.
I can't get complacent and make careless choices.
I need to think this through.

Even though I have a choice, I have to pick an innocuous number.
One that from a glance could appear to be a choice constructed purely randomly.
In that case, it would be safest to pick something not too high and not too low,
Leaving us squarely on the number five.
But that's too obvious. It would be like telling L directly to his face that I'm hiding something.
A perfectly average answer like "five" would not suit Light Yagami.
And it most certainly wouldn't suit Kira.
If I were to pick five, despite that...
He'd figure out my identity immediately. I need to prevent that at all costs...

However, picking a high number would work against me, as well.
It's common knowledge that the human brain can only remember individuals until there are seven of them.
Eight people or higher and the brain will perceive them as a group, rather than individuals.
With that in mind... picking eight, nine or ten would be equivalent to suicide.
L would think I was trying to stay out of the spotlight.
Once more, something that Light Yagami would never do.

In that sense, picking a lower number initially seems wise.
But of the first five numbers, of which we've eliminated five,
We have only four remaining.
For the very same reason as five, I can't pick three. It's too average. 
Two can't be a choice, either, because the very nature of being two coincides with the notion of being second place.
If I were to concede first place to someone else - L included - he would immediately suspect something wrong.

Of the numbers then remaining...
One, four, or six.
Four and six both carry negative connotations. Death and the number of the beast...
It would be as if I were making some sick joke out of the situation.
Then, that means...
My only choice... is one?

But that choice in itself is risky... Kira proclaims himself the God of the new world...
Would placing myself on a similar podium draw attention?
In a vacuum, I have no doubt that Kira would select the number one.
But then begs the question... which number would Light Yagami select?

...Yes, that's it. 
They would pick the same, regardless of whether or not they were the same person.
I'll do it. I'll pick number one. Because that's what Light Yagami would do, regardless of whether or not he were Kira.
It's your move, L... Just what number will you pick yourself?

L
25

Clearly the only option for me is 002, as Kira is certain to pick number 001, and I cannot take his number. While I certainly could fight to be first, for now it's better to wait and let him reveal himself. Genius he is, the path Kira leads himself down is rife with potholes.

No, I mustn't fool around. I must be careful with my choice. Kira said they'd pick 001, so I can't just pick 002, then L would know for sure I'm Kira #2. I have to be smart about this.

I've got Shinigami eyes, or death eyes. If four is the number of death, and I've got two eyes, then certainly eight would be perfect. It's just a large enough number to stick out, but not as much as 009. This isn't a game, especially some silly nonary one. 010... It's a large number, it stands out, and in binary, 010 is two... but L would also know this, and it would seem as though Kira is coming at them from every angle.

I should ask Kira what he thinks.

No. I can't. They gave me specific instructions to not interact with them. I can't raise suspicions unnecessarily, even if I do really want to see them.

Before I settle on eight, I wonder if there are any good choices. What remains? 003, 004, 005, 006, and 007. 007... Where have I heard that before? Dames Bonj! Of course. The secret agent himself. Far too obvious, that's ruled out. 004 is probably too on the nose, being the number of death. Although that's what makes it perfect, Kira would never do something so confident as to outwardly proclaim themselves as death. L knows this. Even so, being Kira 2 means I should not claim their throne. 006 is boring. and too forgettable. Seriously, when was the last time someone chose six. It's too close to the average. Speaking of, 005 is the middle. It's much too boring for someone like me. That just leaves 003 and 008.

003 suffers the same issue as 002. It's so close to it, it would be obvious I'm just trying to disguise the fact I'm Kira 2 by cheaply adding in another number. Thus, 008 is the only number I can choose. Yes. It's perfect. No one will suspect a thing.
