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

RESTARTS THIS TRAIN

[puffing]

[ let's go ahead and handwave that the abstain thing was a... thing. for convenience. they needed to get back on track and think of where they wanted to go for this. ]

So, again. Pretty obvious we're not going to find out who sent Kei on me tonight. There's no chance in hell they're going to admit to anything, suspicions on me or not. So who do we pin Franziska's on?

Elizabeth brought up that the only people that had problems with her were herself, me and Adam. Then there's the fact that the staff may have caught on to the fact that she could have been more than a lawyer being cocky after Judy's admittance of other roles coming into play.

I don't think Ms. Elizabeth would have gone and killed someone after what she had to do in the cage before. Fucking argue me if you think otherwise. And me... well. [ looks at the plethora of wounds he has. ] Adam's shown he doesn't really give a shit what direction this goes either way. He's been checked and nothing substantial was there physically.

What else do we have to go on? Time's a-tickin'.

[liven]

I've already said everyone I find suspicious. It ought to be someone else's turn by now. But I do agree that it wasn't Elizabeth or you.

[ so ]

[selfdenying]

Adam seems to be the most likely, but the idiot seems to have a death wish. He could just be a red herring for all we know.

[onepunchgirl]

I disagree on Adam. Staff members wouldn't passionately defend each other like that in front of open crowds.

As far as whoever we vote for, I do believe we should be straight forward with our choice. If anyone cares, I could give the name Franziska told me but I'm not going to claim she's absolute.

[antietam]

I think listening to her is the worst thing we can do. [ He's not going to defend himself but he's definitely going to rag on the dead. ]

[liven]

One would think the anti-staff wouldn't make themselves targets, either. Assuming everyone is capable of subterfuge is clearly not a thing we can do.

[ apparently. ]

You may as well give the name.

[becauseimacoward]

At this rate you're going to have to say it.

[Because yeah, Dojima agrees Adam is not a good option]

It would give us a starting point, at least, something to discuss.

[liven]

I still agree he's suspicious.

[selfsufficiency]

You're a real idiot, aren't you?

[#helping]

[onepunchgirl]

Nobody asked you.

[She doesn't think he's staff but he sure is annoying! ]

[grimdeity]

May as well give the name, with the caveat that there's a fair chance Franziska was just guessing like she was when she named Lara.

[antietam]

You asked if anyone cared. [ Is he not anyone )8 ]

[toyotamane]

And you're a brat.

[What nice people they all are...??]

You got anything else to say or are you gonna keep gloating about getting us all sick?

[selfsufficiency]

[Even without the abstain thing - ]

I still think Cici's suspicious.

[She's thought that for awhile though, so.]

And I don't think we can vote for Adam. Supposedly, Luke sent him a... message? Of some kind? From beyond the grave. Either he lost it and imagined the whole thing, or he's actually communicating with him somehow. But it's not like he's going to communicate with any of us, so we need to keep him alive for now just in case.

[onepunchgirl]

Consider yourself excluded until you stop being an asshole. Luke may have been your friend, or something more, but he was still staff. We'll discuss this later but if all you're doing is pissing people off, then cut it out.

[selfsufficiency]

I didn't see either one of us in the water until you showed up.

[onepunchgirl]

Yeah but I did say I would give that person a fair shake today, to see how i felt. Honestly? Wasn't impressed.

But if everyone seems to agree - the person was Alvin. And like I said, I did want to give him some benefit of the doubt, but his reason of voting for Franziska was less than impressive.

[antietam]

How am I being an asshole? [ Spoilers he will never stop being an asshole. ]

I'm giving my opinion like everyone else is.

[grimdeity]

Adam dabbles in ouija now does he? That's dangerous stuff. Or so I've heard.

[tearable]

[ She hates this? There is no solid evidence. There is no proof or anything that leads to a guilty party. At their core, aren't they really ... really just shooting in the dark?

Bigby's words take her back and luckily, she's sitting next to him and giving him a elbow in his good side. ]

Don't fight my battles. [ Especially when they were both suspected, what the heckie? ] Adam would be too obvious, would it not? A classic revenge story of a lover scorned. He - ...I'm not sold...

[selfsufficiency]

He said it was an email or something. I've never used emails before coming here, so I don't really know.

What's so dangerous about it?

[antietam]

... I'm not going to be your carrier pigeon.

[selfsufficiency]

...mm, I'm not sure about that.

[Alice taps the side of her cheek thoughtfully.]

If he was a staff member, why wouldn't he have just voted for Lara? She was the second most likely to get voted for aside from Luke. By voting for Franzy instead, he made it possible for a staff member to get executed along with her.

[tearable]

Alice, can you expand on where your suspicions stand?

[ Elizabeth is truly curious. Not that this is payback for suggestion she strip, nbd. ]

[onepunchgirl]

But you're acting like an asshole while you do it. Again, I'm going to talk to you about this later, but I do genuinely believe you're not staff just because you cared about Luke.
