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

I wouldn't doubt that there are staff members willing to take the fall for others. Besides, before Luke died, nobody knew he was staff, and Adam defended him then in an attempt to prevent people from looking at him too closely.

Anyways, it seems too obvious, yes! But I suspect he does know something, staff or not. We'll see if he'll be anything other than dumb and stubborn for the rest of the trial.

Sure, but Luke's already gone. If Adam were staff, wouldn't he milking the 'betrayed' angle be a better cover? None of us would blame him for being upset, and it'd be an easy way to throw suspicion off of himself.

But yeah, I can see that. I think he'd more willing to share if people stopped accusing him, in any rate.

[selfdenying]

Ah, but what if he were being so obvious that it reached around into him not being so obvious after all? A double reach-around. But ah, I don't know if it's that complicated...

[is this psychological warfare?? who knows]

Honestly, I just think he wants to die and join his boyfriend up in the great beyond.

It could be, but my gut says no. That's not really evidence, but..... [Guy shrugs]

I think that's closer. But I don't want to speak for him. [since he did earlier and Adam got all hissy at him!!!]
