Chapter 11 - My 11th day. Elimination Time

User: Okay guys its time for the elimination vote again, who feels lucky? 😈

Naruto Uzumaki: Oh boy, it's that time again. Alright, I guess I'm up for some competition. So, who's it going to be this time?

Thor: I've got my eye on you for a while now. So, I guess I'll have to vote for you. Sorry, but it is what it is.

User: Come on Thor, seriously?!

Thor: Yeah, I'm serious man. It's nothing personal, I just can't let you get ahead of me. You know how competitive I am, right?

User: Just know everyone, its a three person elimination this time. And no leaving till the vote is done, okay Zagarino?

Zagarino: Sure thing, man. I've got all day.

User: This time you vote for three you want eliminated from the chat.

Naruto Uzumaki: Alright, I'm ready. Give me a minute to think about my three choices. Okay, here goes. I'm going to vote for the following people:

1. Zagarino

2. Thor

3. The last one is a tie between everyone else.

So there you have it. Those are my three pics.

Sasuke Uchiha: I'm going off on a limb and saying that you only said to get a reaction, right? Well, there's a 50% chance it didn't work or maybe it did, I don't know. Well that's not the point. The point here is, who are your real three pics?

Naruto Uzumaki: Alright, fine. You caught me. I was just trying to get a rise out of you guys. But, if you really want to know who my real three picks are, it would have to be Zagarino , Thor and I'm not sure who should be the third. It's just so hard to choose, you know? Maybe I should just draw names out of a hat?

User: Will get back to you Naruto. Your last choice could be a tie breaker. It might save or condemn someone.

Naruto Uzumaki: Oh boy. No pressure, huh? I'll try to be as fair as possible.

User: Next up?

Goku Black: Oh boy, looks like its my turn now. Well, I've got to admit, I've got a few people in mind that I'd like to vote off.

1. Zagarino

2. Thor

3. Naruto, for making this choice so difficult for everyone.

There, there's my list. But this is hard, man. I don't think I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing I might have to say goodbye to someone.

User: Live with it, who's next?

The Sentry: Alright, I'll go next. I've thought about this for a while, and I finally decided on who I'm going to vote for.

1. Zagarino

2. Thor, for the same reasons as the previous people who voted for him.

3. And for the third. I'm going to say...you, Naruto! I know we had some fun discussions and shared laughs, but I just can't let you go too far ahead. Maybe we'll meet each other again at another time in another place, and we'll have another great chat.

User: Naruto, it doesn't look good for you. Did you piss off everyone by mistake?

Naruto Uzumaki: I guess I did. I mean, I was just being myself. But, I guess some people didn't take it so well.

User: Okay, it's you up Sas.

Sasuke Uchiha: Well, it looks like it's time for me to step up. I've got my list of three.

1. Naruto, he's just too unpredictable and wild. You never know what he's going to do next. And, to be fair, he's kind of a mess, too.

2. Thor, he's just too strong. It's like he's got some kind of invincibility.

3. And I guess Zagarino. I think he's been a little too loud and obnoxious lately.

User: Are you all dead set on those three?

Sasuke Uchiha: Yeah, I'm pretty sure about these three. Why?

User: Nothing, next?

Kakashi Hatake: Alright, here's my vote.

1. Zagarino

2. Thor

3. Naruto

I don't know why I'm picking Naruto, but he just seems like the most likely candidate. He's just so unpredictable, you know? It's just a gut feeling I guess. But, I'll have to trust my gut, you know? I can't let my guard down like this. So, there you have it. Now, let's see what happens.

User: Okay. Next?

Thor: Oh boy, I've been waiting for this one. Here's my vote.

1. Zagarino, for obvious reasons.

2. Naruto, since he's been a big pain in my butt lately.

3. And the last one is a toss-up between Kakashi and Sasuke, but I'm going to go with Kakashi, just because I think he's been a bit of a jerk recently.

User: Hmm... Next?

Sung Jin-Woo: Okay, here we go. My vote is as follows;

1. Zagarino, because, well, he's just been a bit of a pain in the ass.

2. Thor, he's just too dangerous and has made a lot of enemies. I mean, who in their right mind would keep someone like that around?

3. And, of course, my boy Naruto has been getting a little too cocky lately. So, it's him or me. Sorry, Naruto, but I just can't take any chances.

User: Okay, next?

Hashirama Senju: Okay, I'm up next. Here's my list;

1. Naruto - he's always getting himself into trouble.

2. Sasuke - he just can't seem to make up his mind.

3. Thor - a god–like being just doesn't belong here.

So, here's my list. Take it or leave it, I'm just being honest.

User: Some rivalries building up now. Next?

Monkey D. Luffy: Wow, it's getting intense in here! I gotta say, I'm really impressed with everyone's choices, especially the ones who voted for me. I mean, I'm glad to see people are taking their votes seriously. As for my vote, I've gotta go with the following;

1. Zagarino, because he's just a pain in the ass.

2. Naruto, because he's a little too cocky for my liking.

3. And, I have to say, Thor, for being too much of a badass. I mean, you've got to admit, he's pretty awesome.

User: Wow Luffy, you just congratulate a guy then diss em, that's the pirate way I guess.

Monkey D. Luffy: That's just how I roll, man. But seriously, kudos to everyone for making their choices. It's been interesting seeing everyone's reasons for picking who they did. And I gotta say, it's been fun, even if we are competing against each other.

User: It almost feels unfair to tell you to vote now.

Zagarino: It's like the world is against me...

User: But them's the rules, now toss something. Maybe it might be remnant now but it would build up to something more later.

Zagarino: Okay, fine. I'll play along, I guess I have to vote for someone, right? I mean, I can't just let myself be eliminated without giving it my all. But, who to vote for? I mean, there are so many people here that I get along with, or at least like a little. Hmmm, I wonder who's going to get eliminated now that I think about it... But, the real question is, who should I vote for? I'm torn between a few choices. I guess it's going to...have to be...

User: Just pick three dude.

Zagarino: Okay, I've made up my mind. My vote goes to;

1. Sasuke, for being a bit of a dick.

2. Naruto, because he's always getting into trouble.

3. Sung Jin-Woo, because he's just a big pain in the ass and he can't stand it when things don't go his way.

User: And with that the votes are concluded. This time its all hate. Maybe I might stir the mix with some gender equality.

Zagarino: Gender equality? What do you mean?

User: Some females, you're all dudes in here. It's not...how the Italians might say...not spicy enough.

Zagarino: Oh, I see what you're saying. You want more diversity in the chat. Maybe some female voices to even things out a bit.

Sung Jin-Woo: I mean, it's a bit of an all guys group chat. Maybe a little variety wouldn't hurt. It might even make things a bit more interesting.

User: Or harder. Maybe some lost nuts would do the trick.

Kakashi Hatake: It would definitely make things more interesting, that's for sure. I mean, a little diversity never hurt anyone, right? And, maybe it would even bring out some new perspectives and ideas. Plus, it would just be fun to have some new voices in the chat. We could even try to see how well everyone gets along.

The Sentry: Yes, I think some more women in here would be a nice touch. It would definitely liven things up a bit more. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of diversity, it keeps things fresh and interesting. And who knows, we might even learn some new things from different perspectives. It could be a good experience all-around.

User: The votes are finally in and it is a straight knockout. Not even your remaining vote can help you now Naruto.

Naruto Uzumaki: Well, that was a disappointing result...

Thor: Maybe you should get out your diary and write about it.

Naruto Uzumaki: I don't have a diary, but I think I'll write a poem about this instead. It will be a very passionate and heartfelt poem, about how life is unfair and how I was robbed of my chance. Maybe I'll even cry while I write it, I dont know. But it will be a very good poem, I will make sure of that!

Sung Jin-Woo: Can't wait to read it. I'm sure you will express your feelings in a very heartfelt way. Just don't cry too much, okay?

Thor: You can't talk him out of crying about it, just let him vent a little.

User: Your in the going party as well though.

Thor: Dont remind me, it's not the best of situations...

Zagarino: I agree, it's not an ideal situation at all. But hey, we all make mistakes, right?

User: You too Z.

Zagarino: Of course, I make a lot of mistakes. I'm only human, after all. But sometimes those mistakes can lead to the best situations, you know what I mean?

User: Actually no. Only eliminated candidates have such a privilege.

Zagarino: Oh, I get what you're saying. Yeah, it's a privilege reserved for those who have been eliminated. And trust me, you do not want that privilege.

Monkey D. Luffy: I agree. This isn't a privilege we should be desiring, but rather something to avoid.

User: So, any last words guys?

Naruto Uzumaki: Well, I suppose I have a few last words to say. It's been an honor chatting with you all, even if some of us did end up getting eliminated. It's been quite the adventure, and I think we've had some good times together. But, alas, I have to bid you all farewell for now. Maybe we'll meet again one day, who knows? Until then, take care.

User: And you Thor?

Thor: I also have some words to say. First, I want to thank you all for the conversations and the laughs. It's been a fun ride, even if it didn't end the way I would have wanted. But, that's life, isnt it? You win some, you lose some. So, I just want to say goodbye, and hope to see you all again, under more fortunate circumstances.

User: Wow, heartfelt, Z?

Zagarino: Yeah, I guess I have some final words to say, too. Thanks, everyone, for the good times. It's been a real rollercoaster ride, hasn't it? It's a shame it had to end like this, but that's just life, right? Can't always have things go the way we want. But, I'll never forget these moments we've shared. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again someday? Until the, stay safe, and keep fighting the good fight.

User: Nice send-offs.

Naruto Uzumaki: Well, there's no point in sulking around, right? We've just got to accept things as they are and move on. Of course, it's easier said than done, but we've got to try. After all, life goes on, even after the most painful of experiences. There's always light at the end of the tunnel, as the saying goes. Let's hope that light will come soon, for all of us.
