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

Wait, I wasn't implying -

[ Hold...??? On????? Who the fuck is getting naked?? ]

[liven]

If you disagree I don't see a point in forcing it. The kills were entirely different.

[tearable]

I have nothing to hide except for my dignity -

[ Guys??? ]

[liven]

I shouldn't think you would. I think the suggestion is a bit odd, since obviously there's wounds on Bigby since the kill was different. But I suppose we could do it to get it out of the way, and then question why we're questioning it.

I didn't think you had any reason to object other than your dignity.

[selfsufficiency]

I think it's interesting that Cici brought this up after we started talking about suspects, don't you? ♡

[liven]

I don't disagree. As I've said, since the two kills were by different groups, I'm not certain why we're assuming there will be wounds. It's something we can dismiss quickly with a check, but all the same it seems less useful than other avenues of inquiry.

[selfsufficiency]

We might as well get it over with, then. ♡

[tearable]

Let's just get it over with.

[ And off to the furthest corner they can go? Elizabeth needs help with that damn wrist cast, but she's not going to make a scene about it. ]

[liven]

[ yeah shijima can actually do the check-for-injuries-with-clothes-on thing as. a ninja cat. and she'll be quick and generally efficient? and obviously can help with the cast because she wrapped...it...

she won't make a scene either. THERE'S NO POINT. ]

Of course.

[tearable]

[ Clothes on is the best bet, but Elizabeth wants to make sure nothing is left to chance. ]

There is something.

[ She'd only find there was a slight wince between her shoulders if Shijima put her attention there, I guess? ]

Something that happened before this entire mess. Just so you're aware.

[mansplains]

[Guy's just going to stand in front of them (with his back to Elizabeth, of course!!!) to block any pervert's view. He even takes off his stupid vest thing to try to help cover her]

[puffing]

I don't know, Ms. Elizabeth. Definitely sounds like you're trying to get yourself naked.

[ ?????? is he still drunk

HE IS LITERALLY JUST TROLLING THOUGH. Bigby is so out of it. ]

She's seen enough of my injuries up close. The favor wasn't returned by any means, but she didn't have any bruises or cuts that were new since Luke and Lara's execution.

[tearable]

....

[ She's narrowing her fucking eyes. ]

Wishful thinking that may be for some here, the injuries I've abstained are in my knees, shoulder from being thrown against the wall, wrist, and above my eye. Anything else remains hidden beneath lace and silk and that is without injury.

[puffing]

[ he's kind of sort of smiling?? ]

Lace and silk, huh.

[tearable]

You're a nasty man, you know that?

[puffing]

Yep.

I don't think I ever tried faking otherwise.

[alittlemaster]

[GOD, THIS HADN'T EVEN BEEN HIS INTENTIONS, OH MY GOD.]

Others can check without you having to remove your clothes! They only have to apply pressure.

[tearable]

[ Wait until your ass is suspicious and everyone will fucking suffer from shota syndrome??? ]

And where are they applying pressure?!

[alittlemaster]

No, it's not--

That isn't what I meant at all, don't misconstruct my words!

[liven]

We seem to have gotten off topic. If we are checking people over, let's do that. If it's too much for everyone's sensibilities, let's not. We also still need to talk to you and the other two presumable "abstentions", since three were registered and four were claimed.

[mansplains]

... Wow, they really start young...

[Ciel you little rascal]

[alittlemaster]

[WTF HE JUST CAME OUT HERE TO CHECK INJURIES AND HE'S FEEL SO ATTACKED]

You all are misunderstanding what I intended!

[puffing]

I don't see Franziska as the type that would have hit you anywhere that would be weird to feel up. Calm down.

[ but by all means if NO ONE ELSE SIGNS UP FOR IT... ]

[tearable]

I'm calm. Go back to licking your wounds.

[ Okay, look. ]

[puffing]

What's your problem? You got nothing to worry about. I saw yours right after the cage firsthand. I'll vouch for you.

[ saw what, exactly? who knows..... ]
