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

She... she didn't. [ Elizabeth says quietly. ] But, the woman needed a kind of help she could not receive here. It's unfortunate and that ... that weighs on me. I was the one who pushed for her to be interrogated.

[ And she clenches her fist when she thinks about it. ]

While she may not be innocent or she could be a blood-thirsty murderer....she wasn't here. She did not commit that crime and the person who did is still among us.

[selfdenying]

Yes, I agree. She may have done terrible things, but she was not guilty in any circumstance for Charles' murder.

[He shakes his head, his tone serious.]

It's alright, Elizabeth. You couldn't have known.

[tearable]

When women like that - frantic or otherwise - act out? It's straight to the asylum for them.

[ She says in a pitiful voice. ]

If I'm voted for my misjudgment, there's nothing I can do.

[selfdenying]

How cruel.

[He can't say anything else to the first statement, he can't find the words, but there's a twinge of sympathy, one he doesn't understand all that well. If he, too, is honestly crazy like everyone says, what kind of life did he really live back home?]

[He glances away, silent for a moment.]

I hope it doesn't come to that.

[ And here comes a cigarette because my God what a heavy ass topic??? She lights one up and takes a puff. ]

Hey, if so, just make sure you catch the right son of a bitch next week.

[selfdenying]

[He nods and smiles over at her, looking a little weary, but determined nonetheless.]

You know I will, Elizabeth. I'll do everything in my power to make that happen.
