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

So what is it? Trust those who are too obvious, or trust those who aren't obvious at all? Make up your mind, moron.

[mansplains]

Really? You got all that from talking to him a few times?

[bro..... Guy suspects you're too trusting]

[selfsufficiency]

[THIS IS WHY RUDE ALFENDI IS HER FAVORITE.]

That's possible, too. There's a lot of things that are possible.

We just have to figure out which ones are probable.

[puffing]

But I've... never had sex with a furs― who the fuck is making these profiles?

[ even he's getting a little red in the face. the man who tore a throat out with nothing but his teeth. this got dumb real quick. ]

[alittlemaster]

People are innocent until proven guilty.

[He crosses his arms.] I'm voting for Adam because he seems the likely culprit for Franziska's murder.

I don't feel a revenge kill is unreasonable, especially if the staff can be blamed for it.

[selfdenying]

Wow.

[Just....looks over at Bigby, raising an eyebrow.]

That's pretty kinky.

[betraitor]

[Alvin rubs the back of his neck and lets out a sigh.]

I guess nobody's gonna buy that I'm the innocent party without clearing the air here, right? Communication and all that.


I'll spill what you guys wanna know about me if it's gonna help at all.

[alittlemaster]

You can't know is the problem I am arguing, but I never said you should trust the people who aren't obvious. All of my assumptions have been based on what I have seen an heard--the people who are the most obvious.

[selfdenying]

[THEY HAVE A PARTNERSHIP IN BULLYING THE HECK OUT OF HIS ALTERNATE PERSONALITY]

Exactly, Alice. We have a few probable choices - that loverboy, Alvin, and little perfect pirate boy over here. Looks like it might be one of those three.

[becauseimacoward]

I agree it's possible von Karma was targeted because the staff wanted revenge, but that doesn't mean Parrish is guilty.

Any staff member would have wanted her dead as retaliation for starting what led to Castellan's death

[mitsubou]

[HE'S JUST TOO NICE...]

Mhm! He really understood the struggle of keeping up your appearance and looking cool!

But, in any case, I suppose I'm just the kind of person to believe in someone's innocence until truly proven guilty. [Yeah, it's not like Alvin would BETRAY him and his trust or anything like that.] Even so, I can let go if it means I was wrong to think that.

[selfdenying]

Ah, but you're one of the people who aren't obvious, no? It would work out for you to point fingers at the so-called obvious ones.

[He laughs, giving a shrug.] But we'll see. At this point, either or could be a staff member. Let's see if they can keep up appearances as best they can.

[selfsufficiency]

I think it's Cici. ♡ I sort of hope I'm wrong because he's an interesting person, but if he is staff, then he needs to suffer.

[tearable]

But, I don't think it's enough to condemn him. Flighty nature or not. No offense, but I can't take Franziska's words to heart. I'm not... I'm biased right now.

[alittlemaster]

Astute. Now if you would be so kind to tell us who the staff is?

I didn't think so. Adam is all we have in a unfair trial that isn't going to ever have any clear answers.

[mansplains]

Easy. She was a smart woman, but she wasn't foolproof.

[get it.... foolproof...]

I'll admit, I don't have anything. I think what Alice is saying makes sense, but otherwise, I'm a loss.

[selfdenying]

Ah, but what if he were being so obvious that it reached around into him not being so obvious after all? A double reach-around. But ah, I don't know if it's that complicated...

[is this psychological warfare?? who knows]

Honestly, I just think he wants to die and join his boyfriend up in the great beyond.

[puffing]

[ would it have been better if he ripped it out with his fingernails? that's much less hygienic, says the guy who had it all in his facial hair and teeth. ]

Considering there's only been one death the past two times, I'm assuming they're not allowed ― for one reason or another ― to attack every day. Maybe they're busy making the weapon, or they just wanted to wait to provide a surprise.

I guess they got their way to an extent, if that's the case.

[grimdeity]

I presumed that you were the one with a fursona.

[ since it apparently is. often grown ass men. and bigby would clearly put fursuit. maybe he's a bunny. ]

But I wonder the same. Someone with a childish sense of humor, perhaps.

[onepunchgirl]

Well, as the person who dragged you into this, I like to know why you brought up Leo last trial?

[alittlemaster]

The longer you leave them alive, the more people they can kill. Just remember that.

[puffing]

Who're you calling a beast?

[ he takes offense for all of two seconds, looks at his current state and just purses his lips. okay. maybe this guy was right to assume. ]

They'll hopefully think twice before they send someone to kill that late at night again. Or they might come after me again. Guess we'll find out within the next couple days.

[betraitor]

Entertaining all possibilities. It wasn't about him exactly... just the first stone that had been cast. People were pointing a lot of fingers from the first trial... didn't think it would be suspiciously implicating myself to look at every angle.

[mansplains]

[Guy's starting to get that, yeah!!!!!]

Well, sure, innocent until proven guilty, I agree with that. But I'd be careful about being too trusting in a place like this....

[onepunchgirl]

I'm not saying she was. But she at least tried. She took responsibility- if we were more willing to be that way, I think these trials wouldn't be such a pain in the ass.
