DAY THREE

[judgejudy]

DAY 3 Complex Population: 33 It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. There's breakfast avaliable in the cafeteria if you want it, as well as meals from 11AM-12PM and 7PM-8PM, but otherwise? The day is yours. Take your time to explore the complex, relax, and enjoy each others' company, as who knows what the next day has in store? Though as you explore, you may notice that there's a new door unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. There's a workshop and tinkering lab that you can now access. It includes everything from power tools to more terminals (so no need to crowd around the commissary terminal to chat with Judy anymore). As tempting as all these tools may be, they cannot be removed from the lab. Only completed projects may be taken out of the lab. That said, it seems like someone may have already been here, as there's blood smeared on one of the terminal's keyboards. Also, anyone taking a stroll by the fountain this morning may notice something floating in the water: a boy's severed foot. — This post is for the first day as defined in the schedule.

[It's subtle, but Leo's face softens. Pushing himself away from the counter, he walks over, resting a hand on Adam's arm. It's brief, but he's trying to be reassuring, all the same.]

Sometimes that's all you can do. [Maybe Leo isn't the best person to say that, but. Here we are.] We have to take care of ourselves. If we don't, we're never going to catch who did it.

[ He tenses under the touch but he doesn't pull away because that would be rude. The brevity of it makes him appreciate it for what it is and he nods over at Leo in thanks. ]

No, I guess not. But isn't that just playing more into their hands? Or do you think they don't expect us to find the staff at all? ... I wonder if they'd really let themselves be executed.

[adlucem]

They probably doubt we'll ever find the killer. [A nod; that seems most logical. They have nothing to go on, really, unless they find more evidence or another body. But he isn't going to say that to Adam.] It would be satisfying to prove them wrong.

[antietam]

It would. [ There's a pause. ] I don't think we should stop trying to find the killer just because there's no trial happening. Why don't we have our own meetings about this?

We can gather people who are interested and leave the distracting ones out.

[adlucem]

There's no reason we couldn't. Maybe someone else has information that they haven't had a chance to share.

[It's not likely, but hey, Leo's been surprised before. It could happen again.]

What do you mean by "the distracting ones"?

[antietam]

You think people other than the staff might know more than us?

And I mean the ones who kept distracting everyone in the trial. The conversation got off-topic a lot which I found suspicious. The staff has more to gain if we don't figure anything out, after all.

[adlucem]

I really don't know. That's what I'd like to find out.

[As for the distractions... Leo just thinks that's a testament to human nature, but. It's not like he has anything better to suggest.]

Have you spoken to our detective friend? He seems like our best chance at finding anything useful.
