trial #1





DAY 2 (afternoon)
Complex Population: 34



At noon, the same tone from the morning rings out, and Judy's voice filters out over the intercom.

"Good afternoon, residents. As per Safety Protocol 6227-A, it is time to conduct a trial to bring justice for the victim. Please proceed to the courtroom on the first level."

If you're confused as to what she means, you'll see that the room across from the cafeteria is unlocked, as well as the room connected to it.

Just as at night, if you don't go to the courtroom, you'll be treated to an electric shock of increasing strength until you go to the courtroom or are unconscious. Though considering the ominous penalty for not participating in a trial, you should likely just go rather than risk not voting because you've been knocked out by your own stubbornness... Once you're in the courtroom, you'll find that bottled water and light snacks are provided, but otherwise you'll have to bring anything else you may need.

As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can step into the judgement theater to cast your vote at the terminal. You may change your vote as many times as you'd like, but at 7PM, your vote (or lack thereof) is locked in.

You have until 7PM to discuss and vote for who you think the murderer is.

You said "It wasn't me"!
selfdenying: (and you overthink)

He has a point. Don't be the pot calling the kettle black...
selfsufficiency: (being traced right now so you)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
But I'm telling the truth, so no matter how many things you ask me, all of my story will add up. The story of whoever's lying won't.

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[...okay no offense but.]

If you're telling the truth who's going to back you up on that? Just saying "I'm telling the truth" isn't really that helpful without a witness.
selfsufficiency: (but just another target)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[She points over at Shijima.]

Shishi fell asleep on top of me and by her own admission she didn't wake up all night, so either I'm telling the truth or I'm just really good at slipping out from under people without waking them up.
liven: (WHATEVER ► don't care!)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-08 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She refused to move, so I didn't have a choice.

[ this is the dumbest alibi ever, but o k ]
chiseler: (man I never had a chance)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[He glances at Shijima, tilting his head because...Shijima you're so small. But mighty. Please don't kick him in the shins again today. But aside from that...]

Considering some of the things you've told me I'd lean toward the latter. But let's say it wasn't you. What other questions would you start asking people?
selfsufficiency: (in unarmed combat)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
If they knew Charles, what they were doing last night, if they had anyone at all that could confirm what they were doing before we went to bed. That sort of thing! And then I'd ask more questions depending on how they answered and how they acted.

It's really basic stuff, but nobody's perfect, so if someone's lying they'll let something slip eventually.
chiseler: (ain't it beautiful? so unusual)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
There's what, over thirty of us? That's a lot of people to be questioning with those same questions. But we should think about the last people to see Charles before we all went to bed. Murders...I mean those kind of things take some time to prepare don't they?
selfsufficiency: (you're fucking dead kid)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're trying to do them without getting caught, yes.

[She makes a face at the courtroom.]

...but I think the whole point of this was for us to try and catch someone, so maybe it wouldn't have taken as much preparation as we might expect.
chiseler: (and you're feeling so left behind)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...[This is fair. He seems to think on that for a moment before sighing quietly.]

Okay. Did somebody ask Judy how long Charles was dead before we found him? That might help us, too.
selfsufficiency: (secret raids on al-quaeda and i have)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I asked that while we were looking around before. She said about six hours, so... [2 in the morning, give or take.] It would have been the middle of the night.
chiseler: (when the traffic's stuck)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
When everybody was asleep. Guess it's too much to ask if somebody maybe washed his blood off of their hands or something but we could look into that too? [If everybody was asleep nobody would notice so...hm.]

selfsufficiency: (not only am i extensively trained)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
We could. Actually, what I want to know is - what happened to his foot? Where'd it go? They had to have put it somewhere... his monitor, too.

That might be easier to find than bloody hands or clothes.
chiseler: (are we all too young to die?)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless you're suggesting that somebody stored it in one of their bedrooms while nobody was looking, I've got no idea. Personally I find that to be the creepiest part since that was extra effort for a spoil of war.
selfsufficiency: (top of my class in the navy seals)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, if someone is willing to go after a kid with a bat, what else wouldn't they do?

[Watch them find it on a shelf in the community kitchen or something, gross.]

Maybe we should be asking if anyone here has a foot fetish. ♡
chiseler: (bottle rockets and celebrate)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why would you ever suggest that auugh. But anyway he stares at her for a moment...and laughs.]

That might be less weird to admit than killing the kid, I'll admit. But if they were going after the ankle monitor maybe we should be investigating to see if anyone knows more than they should about those things.
selfsufficiency: (i will wipe you the fuck out)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-08 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Look....... why would anyone take a foot?]

That's not a bad idea.
chiseler: (ain't it beautiful? so unusual)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-10-08 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
So let's start asking around. At least we'll get somewhere with that.
