trial #4
 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 |

Jack.
[ When they had their conversation about the terminal, she straight up didn't expect salsafest. ]
Tell me you didn't help him.
no subject
[ That disappointment at least fades when she asks him, and he shakes his head, though it comes with a frustrated tone. ]
None of this-- Well, okay, I knew he had the bat and stuff, but I didn't think he'd use it. Not, y'know, like... [ He trails off as his jaw sets tightly. ] Like this, I guess.

Okay, look, I thought it was under control? Like- Look at the guy. I thought maybe, tops, someone gets beat to death with a bat. And even then? Half figured it would be him, goddammit. This is way more than I was expecting.
no subject
[ a shrug. ]
But humans will always believe they have everything "under control". It looks as though this particular mistake will cost us more than one life however...not that it didn't already. But it was ridiculous to imagine a coward's trick would keep most of us from ending this. [ she taps her neck. ] Do you think Angel that sort of person? Somehow, I do not.
no subject
[ Jack's tone is definitely anger, and he snaps, but he's just butthurt, ignore him. ]
Yeah, well aware that whoever the hell he killed, their blood is on my hands too, kiddo. You wanna kill him for that, whatever. I'm not trying to say you shouldn't.
no subject
[ bluntly. SHE DOESN'T CARE IF HE'S MAD, TBH ]
I doubt we'll get any time outside of the trial for that, so let's see if you're as amazing as you seem to think. Well, if it's a failure and kills them both, we can always vote for you as an accomplice.
no subject
...You're an asshole, you know that?
[ He just has to point that out, but even though he's pretty tense with how upset he is, he waves a hand dismissively. ]
Fine. I— I can totally do it. Get me some goddamn tools and I'll get to work.
no subject
[ she has a zero percent manpain tolerance??? she barely puts up with that shit from her roomies???? ]
no subject
[ She's so disappointed... ]
Tell them what you knew. An accomplice is a kill worthy offense and with Angel bound by that collar? I doubt she'll oppose bloodshed.
[ She doesn't want this? She doesn't want this. She wants to be toes-deep in the sand at Battleship Bay. She wants to shut her eyes and forget she's here but she can't. She can't. She's trapped and she's worried about people and herself on equal footing. ]
no subject
I'm not a goddamn accomplice. Which, granted, you don't have any reason to believe me, but you wanna kill me for that too? You- That's your loss. I didn't— What I know, I can't tell them. You really think that's gonna help anything? Won't just make things worse?
no subject
[ But, he knows what he's saying. What he's trying to prevent. Elizabeth's face flushes hot and she looks down, trying to summon her voice more firmly. ]
I don't want to kill anyone! Just.... you better have a damn good way to convince others you weren't involved...
[ She sounds so sad over this, honestly. ]
no subject
[ #HELPFUL
go the fuck away shijima ]
no subject
Oh my god, screw you, I'm not- I'm fucking pissed because, yeah, I'm a goddamn idiot!
[ He jabs a finger in Rhys's direction ]
He's a liar and a coward, and the reason I'm acting like I got, what, "smacked on the nose with a newspaper" is because I'm trying- I'm not gonna kill that asshole. Trust me, I'd like nothing more than to break his own goddamn neck myself right now, but I am trying— Was trying to not lose my temper!
no subject
[ like last trial, she objects...to people getting weird and sad and angry over #romance and rhys is kinda obsessed with jack, so. that's what she's been assuming jack is doing. ]
Though I agree it's pretty useless to be mad or sad. It's more useful to just deal with the problem at hand.
no subject
[ He makes a frustrated and exasperated noise as he drags his hands over his face, but he shakes his head as he looks up. ]
Talking to you is so frustrating, oh my god.

[ #cats ]

[ He's still pretty angry! And unhappy!! But he'll stalk off to go ask Judy for some tools, which will get denied. Whoops. Unfortunately, Jack can't fix this problem. ]
