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

No. You're entitled to defend yourself. There's no rules to how you do it, but I suggest being civil and calm. Blowing up and being overly aggressive won't make me think better of you, not when I'm just trying to discuss simple things with you. I was just explaining my point of view is all.

[She sighs. Ok clearly Alvin is a manchild and must be walked through how this process works step by step, so...]

You told me you wanted to look at all possibilities, but I specifically wanted to know what about Leo made you want to go back to him? All he did was relay something he saw between Diva and Charles. Something must have stuck out about it in your mind to recall it during the trial, right? Explaining your thought process is the best way to defend yourself.

[treating him like an actual child is somehow better since it forces him to be reminded that no matter where he goes, he's being babysat like hell.]

It didn't have anything to do with Leo himself. Lara suggested that the only reason Diva was listed as a suspect was because someone else implicated her. I asked if that opened up the possibility that the first one to point fingers at a possible suspect. You know, immediately deflecting blame?

That's all it was, so maybe Franziska was reading way to far into it if somehow that meant I was the bad guy here.

See, now that's a civil defense! And yeah Franziska read into a lot of things that happened in the first trial, as we're doing now with the second trial. She didn't have all the answers, only observations and interpretations. That's all any of us have really.
