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.

[Hey guys, late to the party. Chalk it up to Dojima being a bit too weak to argue due to blood loss and his freshly stitched leg wound.

But now that he feels a bit better...]


There are...a few things that has been going around my head for a while already.

[There he starts]

It's supposed the staff members among us are the culprits, as in there's a whole group of people doing it. I don't deny that could be true, but I doubt all the staff members contribute to the murders. I don't know if they could alternate who kills each person, or if they have some sort of rule among them, that doesn't matter:

My point is that the culprit who killed Charles and the culprit who killed Rayfa may not be the same person.

[Now that it has been established, there's something else too...]

Why were they chosen? I can't say it with certainty, but one would think it's because the killer wanted someone who wouldn't be able to fight back. That's a possibility, but there's another one: it's possible the killer chose Charles or Rayfa because they couldn't choose anyone stronger.

What if the culprit is someone young or frail, too?

[And finally...]

The last thing I have been thinking about was about how the victims were taken out of the rooms. Everyone except staff members return to their rooms and fall asleep, so Rayfa and Charles did too. How did the killers get the victims? I suppose it means the staff members have ways to enter the apartments.

I suggest to create a barricade, making sure there's no way to disable it from the outside and there's some way to notice if it was taken apart and put again later. If the barricade is modified during the night or outright destroyed, or if someone dies, that could narrow down things a bit.

[Dojima nods]

I apologize for not having much to contribute to this trial. I wasn't able to investigate the body.

How young and how frail are we talking, here? Just to give us an idea of who we should start considering first.

[That's going to be the point she focuses on - a barricade isn't a bad idea, but it won't be of use during this trial, and her priority here is focusing on catching a staff member first, then everything else after.]

Barricade may be a good idea, but the staff may have more time to carry out and sabotage anything we're hoping to achieve. It needs to be fleshed out more.

[ Trust her, she's been thinking about it... ]

Mm, it'd also be best if that were done that only one person in every room knew the trick to dismantle such a thing. If nothing else, it would narrow the suspect pool. Otherwise...everyone would know how it could be done.

Choose the wrong person and word will spread. [ They are all boned at this rate. ] What if there's something that can only be done from the inside? So we know the staff member was in a specific room. It narrows our pool down significantly too.
