trial #2 - execution

[judgejudy]

DAY 4 (evening) Complex Population: 32 At 7PM, a tone rings out, but it's not Judy's voice that filters out over the intercom. "TALLYING VOTES. . ." The voice is mechanical and robotic, and a pause lingers in the air. It seems that the voting system is run by some kind of AI. "CONSENSUS REACHED. MAJORITY VOTE. TIE. RESULT 1. LARA CROFT. STATUS: INNOCENT. LARA, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." There's the sound of clicking, and Lara will receive a very sharp shock to their ankle monitor. If they don't step into the judgement room, the shock will increase in strength every ten seconds until they're unconscious. Regardless, the voice continues to drone on. "RESULT 2. LUKE CASTELLAN, EMPLOYEE ID VTSCI62271053. STATUS: INNOCENT. LUKE, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." Luke receives the same treatment, and finally, the last player is decided in the same way: "DESIGNATING EXECUTIONER. . . ELIZABETH. ELIZABETH, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles votes

[ Note to self: maybe cigars are better. Elizabeth flicks her gaze up to the smoking man, trying not to show her own weakness and sadness over the event. ]

... Hope so. Nothing's promised, though.

[ Elizabeth seems less prim and proper, more feral in this light. ]

There's - ... there's too many variables to consider. [ She sounds vague on that. ] Too many things that can happen.

[ Like Lara dying. ]

[Cigars are absolutely better.]

Of course not. Promises are real easy to break. All you've got is your will, really.

[Which is a sort of corny way to put it, but...]

You start thinkin' up a storm and you'll wear yourself out. Told that girl the same thing.

[Lara, he means.]

Keep a clear head, yeah?
