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

There's no hearts in our eyes - stars or twinkles, I assure you!

[ Except tell that to unlocks. ]

[selfsufficiency]

Aww, why not? You're super strong, so it's not like you need it. You broke that entire glass wall! That was so impressive.

But I didn't get to bring my weapon here with me. Phooey! Someone in my apartment has already been attacked once. I don't want to be defenseless if someone comes back.

[alittlemaster]

I voted to abstain. I don't care if you believe me. I chose to abstain the first time, and we all found out it was chosen at random by Judy.

Since there was no evidence good enough for me to pick someone to kill, I opted to allow it to be random again.

[heroizes]

[ Jack laughs again, but at least this time it's friendlier instead of Rude Asshole ]

It totally is. I figured with, uh... You being you, kiddo, it'd be a weird thing where blah blah money, but- But, I mean, you're totally blushing, so.

[ He waves a hand dismissively as he grins ]

Hard to deny it.

[selfsufficiency]

I don't believe you, Cici. Sorry. ♡ You better hope that the others do, I guess.

[onepunchgirl]

I guess you have a point but... well, you're not gonna attack people who don't deserve it right?

[alittlemaster]

There wasn't anything on Miss Elizabeth that was recent or in self-defense. Adam was apprehensive about being checked, but there was nothing unless you want to volunteer to check him again.

This entire place is a waste of time. Did you have a better idea finding a culprit?

[selfsufficiency]

Of course not! That would be a waste of effort.

[SMILING. Isn't she just the most trustworthy person you've ever seen, Veronica?]

[onepunchgirl]

[No but there are more untrustworthy people she's met. ]

Well if you want to get it out of her room, that's where it'll be.

[selfsufficiency]

Wow, thanks! I'll go get it after the execution. ♡

[tearable]

So, it was staff. There's no other doubt about it.

[puffing]

We all know the only person you have eyes on is yourself. Just keep scribbling love notes for you to read later, alright?

[ Alfendi's forgotten (or has never learned!) that Bigby..... well he is a jerk too ]

[alittlemaster]

I don't care. I know it wasn't me who lied. If I voted for Luke or Lara, I would admit it now that both of them are dead. There isn't any use in lying about voting.

[heroizes]

No.

[ Jack senses irresponsible murder children ]

You've already got a friggin' problem with wanting to torture people, so, no. No whips.

[puffing]

This is a terrible idea.

[ you all know she cut off Leo's foot, right ]

[selfsufficiency]

Obviously someone thinks there is, because somebody lied.

[selfsufficiency]

Phooey, you're no fun!

[selfsufficiency]

[et tu, bigby]

No it isn't.

1/2

[selfdenying]

Huh?! What did you just say, idiot?!

[He's actually walking over, looking super ready to go and punch Bigby in the jaw with his clenched fist...]

[alittlemaster]

And why does that mean I did?

Of all the ones voted for last trial, none of them I had any issue with so far. Most of them I hadn't even talked with.

[heroizes]

You can have a whip. Once you've earned it.

[ His tone here is very much a dad tone. It's stupid. ]

And by "earn" I mean "I'm reasonably certain you're not gonna use it to mess people up."

[selfsufficiency]

Why not? You could do worse. ♡

[alice sort of ships it apparently]

2/2 I'M SO SORRY also tw: vomit i guess

[selfdenying]

[When suddenly, he stops, shudders, and unable to stop the wave of nausea, he kind of just....throws up on the floor in front of Bigby, probably getting some on his shoes.]

Ergh... [Just...weakly flips him the bird.] Shut up...

[selfsufficiency]

Well, you've been kind of suspicious-acting the whole time we've been here.

[pot, meet kettle]

And you're pretty quick to point fingers at people!

[POT, KETTLE]

fucking threadjacks??

[tearable]

First Rhys, now you. We need a quarantine area with for social interactions.

[ LOVE YOURSELVES? ]
