trial #3 - execution

[judgejudy]

DAY 6 (evening) Complex Population: 27 At 7PM, a tone rings out, but it's not Judy's voice that filters out over the intercom. "TALLYING VOTES. . ." The voice is mechanical and robotic, and a pause lingers in the air. It seems that the voting system is run by some kind of AI. "CONSENSUS REACHED. MAJORITY VOTE. ADAM PARRISH. STATUS: GUILTY. ADAM, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." There's the sound of clicking, and Adam will receive a very sharp shock to their ankle monitor. If they don't step into the judgement room, the shock will increase in strength every ten seconds until they're unconscious. Regardless, the voice continues to drone on. "DESIGNATING EXECUTIONER. . . ANGEL. ANGEL, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." The second person will receive the same treatment. No one else will be able to step into the judgement theater after them without receiving a nasty shock before they can step too close, and once they're both inside, the door closes behind both of them. There's a clicking sound from the walls, and the panels on the right side of the room are pulled up to reveal a thick glass that allows you to look into the Judgement Theater. It seems justice is meant to come from the the hands of the jury. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles votes

[When given the choice between shakily shooting someone with a crossbow and shakily shooting someone with a gun, then gun is... probably the safest bet. More likely to kill him in one shot, as opposed to her hoping the bolt would pierce flesh and bone and lodge itself deep enough to instantly kill him.

She still looks pale, but she concedes with a nod, bending down to retrieve the gun with shaky movements.]

I will. I...

[This is fine. Everything is alright. She just has to kill someone with her own hands, and that's so much different than watching bandits and Vault Hunters slaughter each other through a screen. But what's done is done.]

... Thank you, for not allowing someone else to take the fall for you.

[And, yeah. This may very well be the shortest execution, supposing Angel doesn't miss as she aims the gun at his head and fires. Knowledge of guns doesn't equal knowledge of knowing how to aim a gun, after all. Whoops. This may make a bit of a mess.]

[ Adam closes his eyes and he's shaking out of fear because in the end he doesn't really want to die. He didn't do this because he wanted to die. He just didn't think there was anything left for him, here or back home.

But it's the only thing he can do now. He was always afraid of this gun, his father's gun, being the cause of his death and apparently he was right. But it was his choice, not his father's and maybe that can mean something to him. He chose all of this.

And for that, Angel's aim is good enough to give him a quick death. ]
