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

I talked to lots of people in between when we talked and now. [So, yeah, that is weird...] I guess, if we want to see if it's contagious... we can just see if Rhys starts getting the same symptoms. I sneezed on him earlier.

[And if he avoids the water and gets sick, they know it's contagious! So... keep Rhys out of the fountain?]

...why did you sneeze on Rhys? [Sorry, he's laughing a little because it's still funny. But anyway.] I think that's a good idea though. I still don't understand how we could have contracted anything unless someone was sick before we all woke up here and that's how I caught it.

He was standing nearby and I needed to sneeze... and also, he was being a jerk.

[Well then.]

The place is so enclosed, I sort of thought that if we were all healthy when we came in, we'd stay healthy. [She frowns a little.] But I do wonder why there's only two of us sick right now, if there is something contagious going around...

[chiseler]

...that's fair enough. [Sorry Rhys. He seems to be thinking on it because she raises a good point.] I don't want to say there's something similar about you and me because I can't really think of what it is. We're two different people. But I thought the same thing. This place doesn't really allow for outside germs so what caused it?

Let me know if Rhys's condition changes.

[selfsufficiency]

I'll keep an eye on him!

[...wait. Does that mean they can't vote for him, since they'll never find out if he gets sick if he gets executed? BOO.]
