trial #4

[judgejudy]

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. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/29. voting

There are many here who come from ancient times. Those seem less likely to know how to assemble a bomb.

Anything that could help narrow down the list of potential suspects would be useful right now.

[selfsufficiency]

So what you're saying is, people who say they came from the future - [pointed look at Rhys] - are most likely to know how?

[becauseimacoward]

Not exactly. Even in my modern times [Maybe our modern times, he isn't sure from when Alice comes from] an average person knowing how to make bombs isn't outlandish, mostly because there's access to materials and to information or instructions on how to do it.

[selfsufficiency]

I see... the average person doesn't know how to make bombs where I come from, so it's a little hard for me to wrap my mind around. That sort of information isn't readily available, either.

[of course there are exceptions to every rule, but...]

Thanks. ♡ That'll help us narrow it down.

... And it's not like we weren't looking at people who were good with technology before for other reasons too.

Twice in a row seems... [Well...

LOOKS AT RHYS....]

[selfsufficiency]

[LOOKS AT RHYS... The Alices are on the same page here, something is seriously wrong with that?? Help.]

It could be a coincidence, but what are the chances?

[unnames]

[It's bad news when they actually seem to be getting along.]

... I dunno if I believe in coincidences in a place like this, yeah.

[selfsufficiency]

Especially not on a night when five people turned up dead.
