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

Wow, I'm so flattered.

[Said without the verbal ♡, so maybe she's not actually flattered.]

That's a possibility, I guess. This entire place has a lot of stupid, pointless rules as it is, so it's not the most improbable thing that they'd have rules for murder too.

[selfdenying]

It could explain why they don't murder more than one person, you know. They have to follow their little murderous code of honor in order to get results.

[True murder is done without rules. Alfendi thinks they're pathetic for even limiting themselves.]

If we find out their rules, that makes it much easier to work around them.

[selfsufficiency]

[She does perk up a little at that. Oh, god.]

You know what would be really funny? Is if we managed to kill one of them by playing by their rules. ♡

[selfdenying]

Oh, playing at their own game, huh? That'd be wonderful! Imagine, the prey becoming the predator...could you imagine the looks on their faces?

[DON'T INDULGE HIM, ALICE]

What a beautiful mental image...I'd love if that could happen. They need to get their just desserts.

[selfsufficiency]

It would be- [Oh god she's dizzy.] ...great...

[Well, she looks nauseous all of a sudden. Alfendi will probably get that, given that they both fell into the fountain the other night. Alice raises a hand in half a wave before stumbling off while still lugging Leo on her back to go find somewhere to sit down which explains why she'll be silent while I'm driving to work]
