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

[SUDDENLY PIPING UP OUT OF NOWHERE BECAUSE HE'S A JERK LIKE THAT]

Are you two going to make heart eyes at each other all day? There's plenty of damn time to do that later!

[selfsufficiency]

[don't mind Alice as she dies laughing.

SEE, THIS IS WHY SHE LIKES RUDE ALFENDI]

[tearable]

There's no hearts in our eyes - stars or twinkles, I assure you!

[ Except tell that to unlocks. ]

[selfsufficiency]

Why not? You could do worse. ♡

[alice sort of ships it apparently]

[tearable]

Now it's the time to even fancy romantic pursuits.

[ SHE SAYS MATTER OF FACTLY. ]

[selfsufficiency]

But if you could die any day, why not go for it?

[tearable]

[ 1. never been kissed. 2. never been romantically pursued. but also: ]

My time can be spent preventing myself from being killed.

[selfsufficiency]

Bigby's pretty good at looking out for himself. He could keep you safe too. ♡

[tearable]

[ Alice is the #1 shipper, oh my god.

But, good job making her face rush a hot red? Yeah, okay. ]

People are dead, Alice. Let's focus on that and talk romantic implications later.

[selfsufficiency]

Okay. Later.

[NO ESCAPE.]

[jackhole]

[ no, he's totally gonna interject here because he's an ass. ]

Luke and Adam did. It didn't do anything bad for them in the end.

[ rhys, luke is dead. ]

[tearable]

[ go suck a bottle of ginger ale?!?!?!?!?!? ]

Are you listening to what came out of your mouth? Rhys, Luke is dead.

[ She'll speak your brackets for you. ]

[jackhole]

[ HE HAS WATER, HE'S FINE. ]

I -- Well, yeah, but they were happy? For however long the dude was alive? It's not like Luke died because he dated Adam. He died because Franziska was an asshole. So, take it as a lesson -- pursue what you got when you can before you don't have it anymore.

[ shrugs!! ]

[tearable]

Even if I wanted to, thinking about any romantic implications in a time like this would be irresponsible. We need to get out not shack up.

[ People's priorities were so fucked in this complex. ]

[jackhole]

[ WHY ARE YOU... SUCH A DOWNER, ELIZABETH... he's trying to be friendly!! encouraging!! to bond!!! he actually looks a little hesitant at the tone there and falters a bit. ]

But... wouldn't it be nice? To have someone you can kind of, like, trust and bond with? One person in your corner with everything going on? Especially with everything going on? That's why Adam's been such an asshole, hasn't it? You took away his safety.

[ he shrugs. ]

Just, uh, just seems like she was implying she wanted you to have that safety too. Since you're being such a bitch as it is.

[puffing]

We all know the only person you have eyes on is yourself. Just keep scribbling love notes for you to read later, alright?

[ Alfendi's forgotten (or has never learned!) that Bigby..... well he is a jerk too ]

1/2

[selfdenying]

Huh?! What did you just say, idiot?!

[He's actually walking over, looking super ready to go and punch Bigby in the jaw with his clenched fist...]

2/2 I'M SO SORRY also tw: vomit i guess

[selfdenying]

[When suddenly, he stops, shudders, and unable to stop the wave of nausea, he kind of just....throws up on the floor in front of Bigby, probably getting some on his shoes.]

Ergh... [Just...weakly flips him the bird.] Shut up...

fucking threadjacks??

[tearable]

First Rhys, now you. We need a quarantine area with for social interactions.

[ LOVE YOURSELVES? ]

[puffing]

[ Bigby isn't even going to say anything. he just takes his shoes off one at a time with his good arm, proceeding to throw both of them at Alfendi. hard. aiming for that stupid nose of his. ]

[selfdenying]

[]

[Well, he's definitely going down since he's already like, half out of it.]

[His nose is definitely bleeding though, THANKS BIGBY, and he's just going to just...stay down here for a moment, though that apparently isn't going to stop him from cursing up a storm.]

Damn you!! What the EVER-LIVING FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

[puffing]

[ what a great gif. rip, franny...

and oops?? he didn't think he would make such harsh contact. oh well. ]

Hope I didn't get any of your own throw up on you.

―Actually, I take it back. Go ahead and lay it for a little while.

[selfdenying]

Don't make me cut your tongue out and make you choke on it, asshole.

[But he's been successfully humbled - as much as an angry rage-filled noodle can be anyways. He's just going to get up and just glower at Bigby for the rest of the evening.]

[jackhole]

[ OFFENDED. HE'S OFFENDED. just have some glaring eyes from this way, liz. wtf. ]

[tearable]

[ YOU BARFED. SHE'S CALLING THEM LIKE SHE SEES THEM??? ]
