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

[

steve is not unprepared this time, and he'll be pushing back against that tackle so he at least doesn't fall full force on his ass; Alfendi will only get a smack or two in before he tries to shove him back and pin him down, himself. ]

Maybe if people had helped me out, we'd be out of here instead of watching more people die! Huh?! You people are all the same!

[Okay, he's kind of a skinny noodle, but that doesn't mean he's just going to give up. He may be on his back, but he sure is still filled with fury right now.]

[He actually spits in Steve's face and also tries to knee him in the stomach, hard - looks like being mostly bony can help. Kind of.]

You're the one who thinks that restraining an actual god damn murderer will help us save his hostage? You really ARE an idiot! [He's seriously almost growling now, he's that mad.] Get off of me! We're trying to save Angel, idiot, blame RHYS for putting the collar on her!!

[ ok. shijima is actually a ninja and she may not be Super Strong right now but she sure does know about vital points.

she darts over and aims a kick to steve's, like, kidney area. she is fully willing to stab him if he doesn't...stop...after this I'M SO SORRY SHE REALLY WILL STAB YOU STEVE PLEASE BE ADVISED ]

I think I told you to stop that...hey, hey, I'll get more violent if I have to.

[ steve isn't expecting the outside help from Shijima, who pretty much looks like a little waif... she sure doesn't kick like one, though. Even if he braced himself against the knee, that vital point kick works exactly as planned, and he lets out a cry of pain as he buckles and falls away from Alfendi. ]

Ow! Son of a bitch... [ just let him curl up and hold his side now, ow. ] You coward...

[selfdenying]

Ha! Serves you right!

[He gets back up, though he actually...falls back on his butt because he's suddenly dizzy again, thanks to the painful ache of his concussion. Lucky for you, Steve, he's in no state to be fighting any more.]

[He nods appreciatively up at Shijima, though.]

Thanks. You should kick him again as a favor to me, I would do it myself if I felt like I wasn't going to throw up...
