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

[Hm...]

Eight also gives an even number so they can watch each other's backs. But go back a sec. What kind of heavier bargain do you think could work for something like this?

[betraitor]

The hell if I know. Becoming staff, putting our lives on the line, betraying the people we're trying to protect? You know how dirty they're willing to play.

[chiseler]

Makes you wonder if any of us would go that far just to get some leverage. The people here...everybody wants answers and everybody's a little scared. Are you?

[betraitor]

Terrified. Not too proud to admit, but even as a mercenary, I'm not all that into putting my life on the line for a job. Having leverage is good, but if the cost is something that's gonna kill me in the end, it sure as hell wouldn't be worth it to me. At least with the way things are now, we could have a fighting chance without selling our souls to the devil or something.
