62 | trial #3

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.

What are you doing, Adam? Are you confessing?

Edited 2016-10-23 02:43 (UTC)

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.

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.

There was a baton and I hit her with it. [ He'll show Alfendi the scratch too. ] She fought back a little. Not much.

...

[He's just silent for a long moment.]

Why the change of heart, all of a sudden?

Because you were either going to kill a kid or listen to Franziska. I killed her so no one would listen to her again.

...a kid who was the one to check you, when he was checking for injuries. A kid who conveniently didn't find anything.

[She's voting Adam tonight but GUESS WHO SHE'S VOTING FOR NEXT TIME :) ]

[ ROLLS HIS EYES. ]

I know how to not react to pain. You'll see I'm not protecting staff once this is over because I don't know who they are.

So he might still be staff, and he might be joining you in death next time. Just... so you're aware.

[ROLLS HER EYES BACK]

Sure. But it won't be my fault.

[He rolls his eye into space.]

You should have checked him then! Anyone could have checked him, but no one would! He didn't move or wince! How was I supposed to know?!

By rolling up his pant leg.

I couldn't do it, I was busy [~~not doing shit because her player was stuck at work~~] trying not to puke.

Everyone was already fussing like morons about me asking others to remove clothes to check for injuries! He said he didn't want to be touched, so I offered to compromise!

And unfortunately for you, he confessed to murder right after! ♡ Which sort of makes you look suspicious no matter how you look at it, so...

[He just gives Adam a very long, hard look - he's obviously not happy about this. It's too easy. It doesn't feel satisfying.]

You're an idiot. [He wants to say more, but he bites his tongue. He has thoughts about this, but he's not going to share them.] Pray that Ciel appreciates your little sacrifice in his stead.
