62 | trial #3

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.

Guess I should bring this up: Franziska's whip wasn't on her body, it was in her room. I think that means she couldn't have used it.

...do you still have her whip?

[Alice wants it

she misses being able to hit people with more than just her hands :( ]

Iiiiii don't know if you should take it.

Aww, why not? You're super strong, so it's not like you need it. You broke that entire glass wall! That was so impressive.

But I didn't get to bring my weapon here with me. Phooey! Someone in my apartment has already been attacked once. I don't want to be defenseless if someone comes back.

I guess you have a point but... well, you're not gonna attack people who don't deserve it right?

Of course not! That would be a waste of effort.

[SMILING. Isn't she just the most trustworthy person you've ever seen, Veronica?]

[No but there are more untrustworthy people she's met. ]

Well if you want to get it out of her room, that's where it'll be.

Wow, thanks! I'll go get it after the execution. ♡

No.

[ Jack senses irresponsible murder children ]

You've already got a friggin' problem with wanting to torture people, so, no. No whips.

Phooey, you're no fun!

You can have a whip. Once you've earned it.

[ His tone here is very much a dad tone. It's stupid. ]

And by "earn" I mean "I'm reasonably certain you're not gonna use it to mess people up."

[BOOOOOO]

I'm not going to use it on anyone unless they give me a good reason to! Come on. [She stomps her foot, which is totally a mature gesture.]

See, "good reason" is the part I'm concerned about here. We've- We've kinda got a discrepancy between what counts as good.

[ He sighs and shakes his head, but offers: ]

Okay, how 'bout this. I hold the whip, and if you wanna use it and I think it's a good reason? Sure. All yours.

Look, I haven't done anything really bad since we got here.

[POUTS AT HIM.]

Pretty please, Jacky? I'm the leader of my group's combat unit back home. It's weird not having something to defend myself with around here.
