trial #3

[judgejudy]

DAY 6 (afternoon) Complex Population: 27 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 10/22. voting

[ Clothes on is the best bet, but Elizabeth wants to make sure nothing is left to chance. ]

There is something.

[ She'd only find there was a slight wince between her shoulders if Shijima put her attention there, I guess? ]

Something that happened before this entire mess. Just so you're aware.

[puffing]

You kind of piled all of this onto yourself. I hope you know that.

[liven]

What was it?

[ shijima sounds. neutral? since tbh bigby trusting liz is currently enough for her lmao. ]

[daturah]

If that's so, then I have nothing to worry about.

[tearable]

[ thanks bigby the yiffer. ]

I was attached to something a while ago. It still - .. it's still not healed.

[ Elizabeth is kind enough to provide the eye candy, I guess? Mainly because Adam's prob getting naked and let me live. She begins to undo her buttons and finally, allows the shirt to fall down her corset. There's your eye candy, guys. Tits.

But, no, the focus was on Elizabeth's back. Between her shoulders was a faded darker ring - it's definitely still obvious to the shape. ]

I promise you, someone much more vile did this to me than these staff members or a dead prosecutor.

[ She'll carefully shrug her shirt back up and button up. ]

It's a long story and one I'm sure you'll get tired of. Point is, Franziska didn't do this and I believe this is a waste of time. Precious time.

[Guy's just going to stand in front of them (with his back to Elizabeth, of course!!!) to block any pervert's view. He even takes off his stupid vest thing to try to help cover her]

[tearable]

[ GUY IS BAE. ]

[mansplains]

... Wow, they really start young...

[Ciel you little rascal]

[puffing]

[ no comment ]

[liven]

You needn't worry. I can tell the difference between a wound caused last night and one caused a while ago.

[ she doesn't appear to feel the need to bring it up to the group at large so TOUGH LUCK for anyone who wanted to know this? ]

So you were experimented upon, too. I thought so, given your comments. Well, it's not important right now.

[puffing]

[ if Bigby felt even remotely decent right now...... ]

[alittlemaster]

[Oh my God, ADAM PLEASE. (Ciel can't even argue.) If at first still a bit suspicious of being lead off, he follows anyway and waits. Carefully, he looks over Adam's torso, but what can he see with a single eyeball?] I'm still going to check your legs.

[Adam's left foot first, beginning at the ankle. It's not anything terrible. Ciel applies pressure with his cupping palms, going to the knee. He doesn't check the inside of the thigh, but uses one hand to do the outside to the waist. He does the same to the right foot.]

[tearable]

Thanks. Can't fault me for wanting to be transparent.

[ But, she needed to be sure. People's words and even testimonials only provided so much "innocence" at this point. ]

Not something I like to brag about, but - right. More important things and if I thought the suspicion would be cast to me by Ciel, I wouldn't have suggested it.

[tearable]

Remember, you're talking with a lady.

[ AKA keep your naughty thoughts to private convos??? ]

[liven]

No, that's always helpful. I will be able to confirm that this, like the others, was inflicted in the past if anyone asks...and they needn't question my credentials.

[ i mean maybe they should since she just makes vague statements to most people about knowing shit, like how she just went "experiment upon too" but whatever. shijima is clearly an expert! ]

I find him more suspicious than you, honestly.

[alittlemaster]

Be quiet. I had only wanted to check for injuries that had been the most recent.

Re: injuries

[onepunchgirl]

Guess I should bring this up: Franziska's whip wasn't on her body, it was in her room. I think that means she couldn't have used it.

[alittlemaster]

[WTF HE JUST CAME OUT HERE TO CHECK INJURIES AND HE'S FEEL SO ATTACKED]

You all are misunderstanding what I intended!

[onepunchgirl]

The first two victims were fairly young children though.

[jackhole]

Okay, that was Angel actually who is my new best friend now, thank you Angel.

[ she can probably hear this since she's just. sitting right with them, sigh. ]

But the second time? You totally deserved that. You bet me, with yourself!

[puffing]

[ wolf whistle

again

because why not ]

[selfsufficiency]

...do you still have her whip?

[Alice wants it

she misses being able to hit people with more than just her hands :( ]

[grimdeity]

[ butts in ]

If you want to discuss your mommy issues, I'm a therapist of sorts. Don't hold it all inside, Jack.

[alittlemaster]

[STOP THIS]

[tearable]

I don't think there's a single soul who wants to oppose you at this point.

[ Don't worry, Liz definitely plans to bring it up in private. She didn't want to bring attention to it - not like how this was. ]

Then maybe we should begin looking in his direction? I won't condemn a kid to death unless needed, but worth questioning.
