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

That was an accident.

[Sniff! HE REFUSES TO GIVE ALICE CREDIT FOR ANY CUNNING MOVES.]

Woulda been great if it was just Alfendi who went for a nice swim.

[IN BLOOD!!!!!]

[selfdenying]

I agree with Alice. It was a great idea.

[HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED BUT...STILL]

Someone sounds bitter. I'd like to think it's karma, old man.

[toyotamane]

Karma for what? All I did was make sure you didn't get your damn eyes clawed out.

[Because he's like, ninety percent sure Alfendi would've lost, okay.

Alice hits harder than she looks for her size!]

Besides, don't act like you were in on it. Unless you're done pretending you didn't know what that was all about.

[selfdenying]

Karma for you trying to be a smartass.

[like the alamo..........rude alfendi remembers.............]

Pretending? Look, old man, I don't know what the hell I was doing. If this nonsense about another personality thing is true, why don't you ask him, huh?

[toyotamane]

My apologies for hurting your feelings. I didn't know you had any, my mistake.

[PROVING ALFENDI'S POINT BUT OKAY. Just throw the whole Alamo at him it's fine.

Sniff. Dickson rubs at his nose.]

What, you guys don't share your grudges? Go on then, bring him out. We're all dyin' to know what's eatin' him.

[ha ha ha, dying. Tasteful joke, that.]

[selfsufficiency]

You're a real idiot, aren't you?

[#helping]

[toyotamane]

And you're a brat.

[What nice people they all are...??]

You got anything else to say or are you gonna keep gloating about getting us all sick?

[selfsufficiency]

I didn't see either one of us in the water until you showed up.

[selfdenying]

I'm not some kind of damn switch, moron.

[YEAH ALICE STICK IT TO HIM!!!]

You shouldn't have gotten involved. Next time stay out of our business, alright?

[toyotamane]

Yeah, 'cause I was plannin' on all of us havin' a little pool party.

[Huff!

Wow, for two people who were at each other's throats yesterday, you're sure getting along now.]

Can't make any guarantees either, Alfendi. Next time I'll just spray you two with water, that's hands off, isn't it?

[You two are cats it'll be effective surely.]

[selfsufficiency]

Or you could just let me finish punishing him.

[S...........igh]

[toyotamane]

Save that for when we're out of here.

[celebratory punishment??]

Keep a tally in the meantime, or somethin'. Otherwise I'm aimin' to be contrary.
