Dead Weight

You're the new soul reviewer at intake, sublevel four. Twenty souls come through per shift, and you've only got eight chairs.

Anyone you don't take goes out the other door, to the guy who's been doing this for twenty years. At the end of the shift your souls fight his souls. Nobody asked for this. There's just nothing else to do down here.

So every refusal is you handing him a weapon. That cursed warrior looks great on paper, right up until you realise dropping him frees up damage for everybody else.

Three shifts. Read the traits, watch what you throw away.

Made for Trijam #384 (theme: Soul Reviewer). Three hours of dev time.
