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.

Angel told me she does not mind dying for him. We cannot stop his actions at night without killing him anyway, so leaving him alive only ensures more of us will die. He likely was the one to kill two people last night...

[ like. she likes angel? so this is fucking stupid? but. ]

If we're meant to kill all four remaining staff members, we need to kill him eventually and while it is unfortunate Angel would die as well, it appears we're not getting a choice in the matter, since no one was able to disable those collars and the coward won't do it himself, presumably.

At least one of those murders last night was probably thanks to our security staff handing out weapons willy nilly, given Kei's entire thing, though...
newlugers: (FATHERRRRR)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you serious? We can't let her get killed just for that! She hasn't done anything.

[ steve, at least, seems unwilling to sacrifice someone for this. ]

What about... What if we press the guy? Make him tell us some other names? We can pick one of them and let him live 'til tomorrow so we can at least take the collar off!

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-29 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He seems to be saying he can't give us names because, presumably, some ridiculous rule he can't break.

[ she raises an eyebrow. ]

And I doubt the collars are coming off at all. But should you like to waste your time on idealism when that avenue was already checked, by all means feel free.
newlugers: (INFESTED with ZOMBIES)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
So not wanting someone to get killed for no reason is idealism now? That's great. [ the implication seems to annoy him - he considers himself essentially the opposite of an idealist, really, but... ] You're gonna take him by his word? He's probably lying. Did you even try to get anything out of him?
liven: art credit unknown, please contact (CHAT ► well that's dumb.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-29 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Angel didn't want us to torture him for information, on the grounds she'd feel it. I do feel obligated to do her that courtesy, at least. Should you like to argue with a brick wall, feel free to try to get information out of him.

[ basically... ]

And yes, it is idealism. It became idealistic the second those collars became a thing. We let him live, he kills more people. But by all means, feel free to trade however many lives for one, if you want.

[ that is true. he didn't think of that, because his method of problem solving is usually "shoot it until it dies." That hasn't been working for him very well here so far, though. Being talked down to is only making him angrier, though, and he lets out a growl of frustration, beginning to pace around as he always does when he's anxious. ]

There's got to be another way! What if we... imprison him somehow, or something? Restrain him, keep him from killing more people. That would buy us some time.
liven: (INSULT ► let me be blunt.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-29 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. We'll restrain him, and then in the dead of night when we all pass out because of drugs or whatever, his friends will unrestrain him and more murder will happen.

How did this excellent plan not occur to me sooner.

[Just turns to Shijima.]

Shijima, if we cut open Steve's head, do you think we'll find his brain has shrunk to the size of a peanut? Because I think so.
liven: (TAUNT ► think you can take it?)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-29 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ok. this is a 62 first because she'll actually laugh...it's childish sounding because of her body but. damnit. ]
newlugers: (FATHERRRRR)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ okay, that is it... steve is absolutely going to try and punch Alfendi in the face right now. I'M SORRY. ]

Shut up, already! At least I'm trying! It's like you guys want her to die!

[ logic, his only weakness......... ]

So we trap him somewhere, then! While we're awake! There aren't that many scientists, so if we all get something really heavy and barricade a door, maybe...
liven: (REMARK ► so you're a moron.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-10-29 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
We already know they can open all the doors. Also, we don't know how strong the remaining three scientists are. So, again, this isn't a plan that will likely work...

He doesn't care. He's a fucking scientist and the only thing that they care about are results. Data. Cold. Hard. facts. We're all lab rats to them for some objective we can't quite guess.

[ I mean - congrats, staff members are scientists. Where did she get this info??? The terminal. ]

Judy doesn't give a damn about an innocent dying and neither does this guy.
newlugers: (my island got no business lookin like th)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he'd guessed as much, himself, so the news is no surprise, but that doesn't mean it doesn't get a growl of frustration out of him. ]

Yeah, well, I give a damn. So should you. We don't need to play by their evil little rules. We need to find a better plan, and fast.

Don't imply I'm quick to send Angel up to slaughter like some sacrificial lamb.

[ Ouch, no one wants Angel to die!! ]

If they can't get the collar off anything we do to Rhys hurts her. We all need to work towards getting that collar off or trying to find an alternative route to take.
newlugers: (your knight in shining armor is here!)

[personal profile] newlugers 2016-10-29 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You guys all sound pretty ready to do it anyway.

[ no one wants her to die, logically, but steve is a moody teen who doesn't like when things aren't going the way he wants. which means he's lashing out at people who are also on his side. ]

Okay, so we get the collar off. Someone in here must know how, or... have something we can use to smash it. Right?

[ this is why you're not a resident evil fav!! why can't you just punch boulders like chris?!?! ]

I'm trying to bring the attention to the right source - we need to understand that this choice... there's going to be a tough one to make. We're trying to figure out how to get the collar off, but there's no promise. We don't even know if we have the right tools!

[ They are all yelling at each other now!! ]

I do not want that woman to die!

Then we'll make the right tools! What if we take apart one of the chairs? Maybe we can get a -- a metal bar or something out of them, and...

Steve, it's okay.

What are you saying? It's not okay! You're gonna let yourself die just like that?

I am not "letting" myself die. I am choosing to. This is my choice, no one else's.

[ okay, he'll try not to shout at her even if he's all frazzled because she must be feeling even worse. He clenches his fists, but he lets them drop to his sides, staring at her face. Searching for some sign of... something. Weakness? Uncertainty? Even he isn't sure. ]

Your choice? Angel, you can't just choose to die. That's like... it's like you're killing yourself. You gotta fight, man.

[ maybe she's a bigger person than he is, he doesn't know. if he was in her position, he'd be fighting, even if it put the rest of them in danger. ]

[Oh, Steve. She really appreciates it. She does. Truly.]

This is my way of fighting back. If I'm to go out, I'm leaving with my dignity. I refuse to give him — and the rest of the staff — the satisfaction of watching me squirm.
