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 |

"Become" you say. Told you I was unpopular days ago, we like -- we called this. I think it's just gotten worse. It's probably just gotten worse, right? Oh my god.
[ why is judy the only real bro here ]

You derailed enough, puke for brains, let - [ The shock sends her stumbling back to her seat and the gun falling onto the table. Elizabeth is left panting and wincing in pain. ] - Go... go to hell. I hope you end up there alone.
[ There's venom in her words and she's trying to piece together everything. 'He'? She'll worry about that later and all she wants now is to see Rhys suffer. When she looks at Rhys, she thinks of her tower. She thinks of how her entire existence was denied and now... he and these scientists are attempting to do the same.
Elizabeth grits her teeth when he admits it was suppose to be her. ]
Sorry, clashes with... with the outfit. But, blood probably looks good on yours.
[ With that, another shock courses through her system as she raises the gun. Elizabeth cries out in a sob and falls to the floor but - uh.. lmao have fun Angel because that gun was getting tossed right towards you. ]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look -- the, the banter thing? I'm not really into it right now so, uh, rain check? On whatever it is you just said. She threatened me, right, Judy? There was like, a clever quip or something.
[ a shake of his head. ]
Oh, whatever. I don't care.
no subject
... I'm sure it's unnecessary to repeat this, but making excuses for yourself does little to change the facts. [Just. Looking at the gun. Testing the safety. She remembers how much her hands shook when she killed Adam, but this is different. This has a purpose.] Unfortunately — I don't believe you can ask Judy to give me the same treatment, unless you want to shocked as well.
[And in one quick movement, she is taking a scalpel out and stabbing herself in the thigh with it. It's painful as hell, but she keeps her eyes focused on Rhys.]
Tell Judy to stop, or else the next injury will be a bullet through my head. I believe that would irreversibly derail the trial, wouldn't it?

someone stabbing themselves to hurt someone else should not impress her this much ]
no subject
You -- you remember that I made these, right? What if I just, ugh, what if I just turn off the feedback loop?
[ he grins a little, shaky, but he doesn't feel good about doing this. ]
I mean, I wouldn't be stupid enough n-not to put in a failsafe, right? Come on. Jack's the programmer but I'm the engineer.
[ and then he pauses, slightly and grimaces. ]
Also, I can, uh. I can get a first aid kit for you if you want to patch that up? I mean, that was kind of stupid.
no subject
She simply chooses to slide the scalpel over her upper arm, staring at him.]
No need to fetch a first aid kit, Rhys. It'll be a waste to use supplies on someone who will be dead soon, after all.
[Another slice, this one while she cocks an eyebrow.]
If you're able to turn off the feedback loop — go ahead. I'm waiting.

he'll just lift a hand to his collar and slide his fingers underneath it until he finds a certain button. then he clicks it.
the shocks stop. ]
Seriously, come on. Can we get back to the trial already?
no subject
Yes, I believe we can.
[YOU FUCKER.]
