trial #2

[judgejudy]

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. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/15. voting

[Team Anti-Rhys]

Still, with all of that blood... do you think he'd be able to manage doing that with such a weak stomach?

[selfsufficiency]

[She shrugs.]

Maybe, maybe not. But I guess the lack of vomit around where the bodies were found is a point towards him not being the killer.

...that wouldn't stop him from being the person with technological knowledge that the killers are collecting the ankle monitors for, though.

[selfdenying]

[He nods.]

Exactly. Even if Rhys wasn't the killer, he still might serve a role within the group. Not every staff member would be a murderer, I assume, especially if it's a group instead of one or two people.

[selfsufficiency]

[She reaches over to tug on Alfendi's sleeve and lowers her voice.]

We need to at least catch one of them so Judy will tell us how many we're dealing with. How can we make sure that happens?

[selfdenying]

We have to be very careful, Alice. At this moment, we're rather caught between a rock and a hard place, but even if we catch a staff member that technically wasn't a murderer...

Well, I'd think that would count, wouldn't it? They were still complicit with the crime.

[selfsufficiency]

It better count. A staff member is a staff member, and if they're the a group doing the killing, then... catching any member of that group should be fine.

[If they're taking turns, it's a victory for the rest of them if even one who hasn't gone yet gets chosen, isn't it?]

Because even if they didn't do it themselves, they're helping to cover it up now.
