62 | trial #2

DAY 4 (afternoon)
Complex Population: 32

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."

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.

That-- I--

I'm too pretty to die!

[Thanks, Alice?, for that input.]

[literally everyone here needs a time out]

Neither of you are going to die, but please calm down. Working yourselves up over this will only make it more difficult for you to focus.

It's his problem, make him stop--! [POINTS AGGRESSIVELY AT RHYS]

[STOP WITH THE AGGRESSIVE POINTING.]

I'll see what can be done, but it would likely be easier to calm him if others aren't feeding his panic.

[HE CANT]

...R-right.

But he started it.

[how old are you alice]

And you'll be able to finish it, yes?

[2 years old]

...Okay, mom.

[HE RESEMBLES THAT REMARK]

[ he's going to grab the front of alice?'s shirt now and shake him a little ]

No, you are not, Jeff. You are the exact amount of pretty to die.

[AAAAAA]

Shit--Is...is that really how it works?

[ he'll drop it to a very bro-y arm around the shoulder ]

I was like you once. Young. Pretty. World at my feet. [ and then back to shaking him. ] And then I ended up here where we're all going to die. It can happen to anyone, Jeff!

[...........]

Wait, you were what.

[SQUINTING......

are you sure you were pretty]

[ . . . ]

I'm going to smack you, kid. I am super freggin' hot -- look at me! Look at my hair.

Uh huh... sure. Okay.

[...]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[ he's seriously going to smack you now, alice?.

with his flesh hand, at least. ]

[AGH

WHY

AAAAA

flailing to get him off now!!]

...I mean, you are really pretty. ♡

[#helping]

[Hesitantly--]

Suddenly, it doesn't feel like a compliment anymore...

Why wouldn't it be?

[Don't you trust her, Jeff?]

... I dunno, it just always feels like you're making fun of me.

[Not really no!!]

I was being honest, though! I do think you're pretty.

[...she also sort of thinks he'll get killed for being a weenie, though.]

... T...thanks I guess. [???]

You're welcome!

[Weird. Maybe it's one of her cold symptoms.]

Jeffrey isn't a very pretty name, though, so maybe you'll be spared on account of that.

[Leo you're not helping.]

Wha--

That's not my name!
