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

Well, maybe shady's a strong word. More like... shifty. Flighty, like Elizabeth said. I barely know him, so I can't say anything for sure..... but I don't know. Franziska was wrong about Lara.

[mitsubou]

No, no, it's fine. I understand what you mean, and I do agree that he certainly is... something. [Taps chin.] But gossiping about him really won't help!

I believe in Alvin this round. The few times I spoke to him, I could really sense he's a good person at heart.

[mansplains]

Really? You got all that from talking to him a few times?

[bro..... Guy suspects you're too trusting]

[mitsubou]

[HE'S JUST TOO NICE...]

Mhm! He really understood the struggle of keeping up your appearance and looking cool!

But, in any case, I suppose I'm just the kind of person to believe in someone's innocence until truly proven guilty. [Yeah, it's not like Alvin would BETRAY him and his trust or anything like that.] Even so, I can let go if it means I was wrong to think that.

[mansplains]

[Guy's starting to get that, yeah!!!!!]

Well, sure, innocent until proven guilty, I agree with that. But I'd be careful about being too trusting in a place like this....

[mitsubou]

I'm being as careful as I possibly can be under these circumstances. [But somethings just can't change that drastically...]

That said, I don't entirely trust everyone here. But, I suppose I'm just a bit biased to those I consider acquaintances of mine.

[mansplains]

Well, I suppose that's something. Alvin's lucky to have you as an acquaintance.

[mitsubou]

Don't forget you have me as an acquaintance too. [Because mom friends.]

[mansplains]

...And so am I.

[Awww]

[onepunchgirl]

And she was right about Luke, so how about you offer other ideas if you think Alvin might be innocent.

[mansplains]

Easy. She was a smart woman, but she wasn't foolproof.

[get it.... foolproof...]

I'll admit, I don't have anything. I think what Alice is saying makes sense, but otherwise, I'm a loss.

[onepunchgirl]

I'm not saying she was. But she at least tried. She took responsibility- if we were more willing to be that way, I think these trials wouldn't be such a pain in the ass.

[mansplains]

She was also killed after she did. And she had a role that could have saved more people.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but not everyone is going to want to stick their necks out like that.
