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

Perhaps. He's one of the four claimed abstains, and I would still like to know why one of those four bothered to lie about their vote.

[ it's not proof positive of guilt so she's mostly waiting for them to explain themselves or argue about who is telling the truth and who isn't? ]

We've time yet, at least.

[puffing]

And you think I suddenly forgot because―?

[ just let him do this while people's lives are on the line. just this once. LET HIM REST ]

[tearable]

Veronica went on about communication, so we need to follow up. If that's the route we're taking, I mean.

[ Can they come together and work together as a team...?!? ]

[grimdeity]

And a fine beard?

[ rose why, this child is like 5. ]

[liven]

She isn't wrong. We need to get all three of them to answer. Bigby was one of the four claims to abstention, but I believe his vote truly was an abstain.

[heroizes]

Yeah, but I'm not blaming her. She's— [ Jack makes vague hand motions at Angel like this explains it perfectly. It's even in the name? She's a precious angel. Kind of rude, though. Must be inherited from her parents or something. ]

It was a good bet! I was right, wasn't I?

[antietam]

[ There's no reaction to anything Ciel does except for exponentially increasing awkwardness.

When he's done, there's a sigh. ] Satisfied?

[becauseimacoward]

It's likely she was subdued or attacked in her room. I don't think she'd leave her apartment without taking it with her.

[heroizes]

[ what the hell he just wanted to be a dick to a child and now he's being personally attacked???? ]

I don't have mommy issues. She's a total bitch. The end. [ He groans, then adds with frustrated emphasis: ] I'm not talking about my mom.

[heroizes]

[ Well, Jack is pretty surprised. He just kind of stares in disbelief for a moment, but his eventually commentary will probably kill Ciel. ]

Okay, that is actually pretty adorable. I approve.

[tearable]

Does that imply she was unconscious when she was moved out of her room?

[selfdenying]

[SUDDENLY PIPING UP OUT OF NOWHERE BECAUSE HE'S A JERK LIKE THAT]

Are you two going to make heart eyes at each other all day? There's plenty of damn time to do that later!

[alittlemaster]

NO! She is a girl! Don't talk about her that way!

[alittlemaster]

[Slowly, Ciel stands back up.] Yes.

[alittlemaster]

[??????????????????????????????]

It's--there's nothing "adorable" about it! It's just the way it is!

[grimdeity]

Many homosexual men have married women to hide their sexualities, it's hardly unusual.

[ i'm so sorry ]

[selfsufficiency]

[don't mind Alice as she dies laughing.

SEE, THIS IS WHY SHE LIKES RUDE ALFENDI]

[mansplains]

[ENTER THE AMAZING GUY]

[alittlemaster]

I'm not homosexual! I--

[His face pretty much gets bright red.] It's not as if... I-- [HE CAN'T EVEN SAY IT WTF!! god rest his respectable, dignified noble soul]

I won't let you talk about my fiancee as if she isn't important to me!

[selfdenying]

[After some of the people have been checked, Alfendi will pipe up, his face pale.]

Well, did your worthless little search turn up anything? This is a stupid waste of time.

[mansplains]

[u wanna go, punk]

[onepunchgirl]

I think so. I've never seen her without it, so if it was there she must have been taken while she slept.

[onepunchgirl]

Agreed. She couldn't have fought back without it.

[onepunchgirl]

Iiiiii don't know if you should take it.

[tearable]

Narrowing down why someone would lie would either get us to one of the six or the staff, I'd think.
