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

[Alice feels absolutely miserable - and she looks it, too. But she at least remembered to fetch Leo from his room before the trial started and is literally dragging him around - she's draped both his arms over her shoulders and has him hefted up on her back.

This time, instead of addressing everyone as a whole first, she makes a beeline for the bench and addresses Judy with no small amount of venom in her voice.]

Medicine. Do you have any kind of medicine we can use? A bunch of us aren't feeling well and it's going to be really hard to find justice for the victim or whatever this sham of a trial is supposed to accomplish if we're all trying not to puke.

[judgejudy]

Unfortunately, I do not have any additional medicine to provide. All medicines currently available are listed in the commissary.

[selfsufficiency]

None of that has helped!

[She doesn't know what antibiotics are... she doesn't know they're medicine... they probably wouldn't help anyway even if she asked for them.]

What's the point of providing us with medicines if they don't work?!

[judgejudy]

All of the medication provided works as it is intended to work.

[Alice kicks the bench, which is probably not a great idea. Ouch, that hurts.]

Way too many of us have gotten sick from your stupid water! Get us something that will help!

[judgejudy]

[Wow, Alice! Save that energy for catching murderers.]

You have been provided with adequate warning not to swim in or drink the water. I cannot provide you with medication that I do not have, Alice.

[selfsufficiency]

It's not like it happened on purpose!

[Okay, no, who cares if it's a bad idea. She's just going to kick the bench again and deal with her throbbing foot later.]

Useless. Useless! If you don't have it, then go and get some! Why even put that water where we can get at it if it's so bad for us?!

[judgejudy]

The medication in the commissary is the only medication that is available for your use.

In the future, I would simply advise that you take more care around areas that have warning signs posted.

[For a moment, Alice is tempted to just hurl Leo at the bench.

Instead, she kicks it for a third time before turning on her heel and storming off, Leo in tow.]
