trial #4





DAY 8 (afternoon)
Complex Population: 19



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.

I suppose that's possible. There were four killers last night, if Judy is to be believed.

[What a mystery.]

About how much strength would you say it would take to snap his neck?

A significant amount. It's not the same as simply opening a canned soft drink, after all. There are muscles and ligaments to think of when twisting the neck.

[So, yeah. Not really something one of the noodles would be able to do, unless they invented an automatic neck twisting machine to do it for them.]
selfsufficiency: (are you serious right now)

[Alice casts a glance around the room (conceivably to try and figure out who might have enough strength to do something like that). Her gaze passes right over Bigby, because she's pretty sure if one of her roommates was a murderer she'd know about it.]

...do you have any guesses who might have been able to do that?

[Piping up:]

Alvin would be my first guess. He's big enough to cause some real damage and it does say he can use a broadsword in his profile.
selfsufficiency: (not only am i extensively trained)

[personal profile] selfsufficiency 2016-10-29 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...well, you're not wrong about him being physically capable of it, but it would be pretty stupid of him to go out and kill someone right after being under suspicion last time, don't you think?

[then again everyone in this complex seems to have their own special brand of stupidity, so]

I'd be a hell of lot more physically capable if I wasn't stabbed in a place that leaves me unable to actually wield a sword.

[not to mention.]

Besides the fact that guy still weighed a hell of a lot more than I do. He could've snapped my neck without a second glance.
selfdenying: (we fight we make up)

[personal profile] selfdenying 2016-10-29 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and where were you stabbed? Your hand? And when did that happen?

[HAND STABBING BUDDIES]

If he was unconscious or drugged, that would make it easy for you, you know. Who said he might've been awake when he was killed?
betraitor: (pic#10640135)

[personal profile] betraitor 2016-10-29 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
My back, right near the shoulder. I can't even lift my arm without it being a real pain.

[either way, he's not impressed.]

I'm a victim this time around too, you know. I'd also have to actually have a sword, and be able to drag him around. I was in my apartment the whole night; woke up stabbed and about to be burned to a crisp.

[being accused right off the bat doesn't sit well with him when he's still grumpy and in pain from the stabbing.]
selfsufficiency: (over 300 confirmed kills i am trained)

Mm... I don't think Dickson was either of those things, though. Didn't Angel say he had injuries matching his sabre? [She pauses to think about it.] If he wasn't awake, whoever did it probably would have snapped his neck right away, wouldn't they? But from the sound of it, they fought first.

...I don't think checking anyone for injuries will do any good, though; most of us have been hurt in some way or another.
newlugers: (AW YAH THAT FELT GOOD)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
He was all cut up, too, though, [ pipes up Steve. Might as well, since he was there. ] Like, his knee was slashed, so he probably couldn't really walk. Maybe he couldn't fight back much?

Perhaps he was attacked in his sleep? It's not difficult to fake an altercation.

Yeah, but that trail of blood... That'd be pretty hard to do by hand. I think.
