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

[ and yet she's stuck with rhys who AS YOU KNOW, is an incredibly huggy fuck. so, when he probably should pull away -- he doesn't. instead he continues to hug her and maybe even pet her hair a little because dude, no? you can't be fine. after all of that. nope. ]

That was like the opposite of fine, bro. Have you even killed someone before? Like, what?

[ he pulls back enough to look at her face, concern all over it. ]

I'm really glad you made it quick. Adam didn't deserve anything more. Just quick, simple, a good end to all this crap, ya know? Now he can... well, not start fresh but not deal with the rest of this.

[THANKS, RHYS. Angel isn't pushing him off, either, so this is fine. This is why Rhys is now Mom in this shitty Hyperion family. Kill them. Kill them both. Kill all three of them.]

No, not... directly. Not like this.

[Does guiding Vault Hunters and instructing them to how to kill other people count? No, no it doesn't. Which goes a long way to explain why she's feeling this way after pulling the trigger herself. How the Vault Hunters have fun doing this is suddenly beyond her. God.

But when he pulls back and brings up Adam, she avoids eye contact.]

I wouldn't have been able to do it any other way. [She would have barfed if she had to beat him to death, honestly.] He may have killed Franziska, but he didn't deserve to suffer. He was only avenging Luke — even if he played right into the staff's hands.

[ what the fuck happened here. blame jack. this is jack's fault.

when she makes the clarification of directly, he swallows and feels a familiar guilt in his own stomach as he gives a bit of a nod. ]

I know the feeling.

[ he'll pull back fully then, only with a comforting squeeze to the shoulder before sighing and nodding. ]

He did but, well, he didn't need to confess either, did he? I wonder if they knew he'd do that. Wonder if that was the point.

[ but then he stops, not really wanting to talk about adam's descent into revenge killing at the moment. ]

You should get some rest but -- but tomorrow. Let's get breakfast together. You shouldn't really be alone much after all this.
