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

You're supposing the attack on Wolf was the staff's work. There's no doubt Von Karma was murdered by the staff, given where the body was found, but we should also consider Kei acted by his own will, for one reason or another.

[However...]

If Kei was part of the staff, it's possible von Karma was murdered because the attempt to kill Wolf failed.

[Hey, Bigby, over here. Dojima turns his head towards Bigby. Would you be as kind as to provide your witness testimony?]

Wolf, do you remember anything? How you got woken up at a time everyone but staff was knocked out, for example? I'm not saying you're staff, but it's certainly a deviation from normal and could give an idea what the victims do or see before they get murdered.

[estimated]

Kei acting on his own will would be the first time we've seen something like that, but... I do agree with you.

[ that kei may or may not be a staff member. all they know is that he and bigby had an encounter with weapons last night, after all. ]

We don't know where Kei stands, as a staff member or a non-staff member, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions on that matter — at least, not this early on.

[ OOPS he kind of provided his testimony here, but Bigby will go ahead and respond to Dojima directly for a follow-up. ]

Like I said, I was woken from the sword belonging to Kei piercing through me. There's nothing normal about any of this shit, but you're right. It deviated from how things have been handled until today. We can't even consider that the prosecutor's death is the same at this rate.
