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

[ After listening to some votes coming in, he sighs. ]

... You shouldn't vote for Ciel.

[selfsufficiency]

Why not? Are you going to say something like "he's too young to be a killer"?

[antietam]

He's just a kid. I don't know if he's staff or not, but I'm not going to watch a kid die again based on nothing. And really? Y'all want to vote for Alvin too because of what Franziska said? Look where that got you.

Because I killed her so I know they didn't.

[selfsufficiency]

I don't want to vote for Alvin. I don't think he's as suspicious as someone wants us to believe.

Really? Do you really mean that, or are you just trying to save a kid?

[antietam]

[ Adam rolls his eyes and pulls up his pants leg. There's a wound there that looks like a deep scratch mark, and fresh. ]

I wouldn't confess for something I didn't do just to save someone else. [ Should have had him actually strip?? ]

[selfsufficiency]

I'll vote for you, then. Say hi to your boyfriend for me. ♡

[mansplains]

What are you doing, Adam? Are you confessing?

[antietam]

That's literally what I just did, yeah. It's not like you guys were going to get it on your own. You were just going to kill random people because someone told you to.

[selfdenying]

Then prove it, Adam. Tell us something only the staff would know! Like why did Fransizka have those bruises on her extremities? I'm sure you'd know, if you really were there.

[jackhole]

[ uh ]

Can you... not joke about that kind of thing right now, bro? It's a little down to the wire.

[antietam]

I wouldn't joke about this. I wasn't planning on dying but this is stupid. You're all idiots.

[grimdeity]

He's 13, not 5. 13-year-olds can kill.

And that is an interesting confession.

[antietam]

Well, he didn't do this one because I did. So he shouldn't get killed for it.

[selfdenying]

Oh, what's this? A confession?

[He almost looks like a shark that's caught the scent of blood.]

Well now! Either this is the truth, or the worst kind of suicide I've ever seen.

[antietam]

There are a lot easier ways to commit suicide than this. I wasn't planning on confessing but you're all making the same mistake as last time.

[tearable]

Are you sure you're not just grieving?

[ Elizabeth doesn't like this. ]

A little obvious for a revenge kill.

[antietam]

[ He'll just show her the deep scratch wound on his leg. ]

Christ, I'm not dying for Luke.

[toyotamane]

Oh, good. 'Cause I voted for ya. Grudges are something else, aren't they, kiddo?

[antietam]

You're not as dumb as the rest of them, then. Make sure this doesn't keep happening.

[becauseimacoward]

This is not the time to play martyr, Parrish.

[antietam]

You want me to let a kid get killed for something I did? Because even I'm not that shitty.

[liven]

I don't know why you're acting as though this is shocking. A bunch of us kept wanting to kill you.

[injectors]

Adam...

[This is bad. This is really bad.]

I know you're unhappy with all of us, but please don't. Now isn't the time to be a martyr.

[antietam]

I'm not. [ WHY CAN'T HE CONFESS IN PEACE. He'll show her his leg wound. ]

[mitsubou]

I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

[It's troubling, but he supposes this is where his vote is going. smh and Mitsutada vouched for you.]
