trial #4 - execution

[judgejudy]

DAY 8 (evening) Complex Population: 19 At 7PM, a tone rings out, but it's not Judy's voice that filters out over the intercom. "TALLYING VOTES. . ." The voice is mechanical and robotic, and a pause lingers in the air. It seems that the voting system is run by some kind of AI. "CONSENSUS REACHED. MAJORITY VOTE. RHYS, EMPLOYEE ID VTSCI62270894. STATUS: GUILTY. RHYS, PROCEED TO THE JUDGEMENT THEATER. CHARGING..." There's the sound of clicking, and Rhys will receive a very sharp shock to their ankle monitor. If they don't step into the judgement room, the shock will increase in strength every ten seconds until they're unconscious. Regardless, the voice continues to drone on. "DESIGNATING EXECUTIONER. . . AL—" The protocol starts, but cuts off abruptly. Instead, Judy's voice speaks up. "Consider this an official notification for the entire population. If you feel a noose tightening around your neck, I am at least accommodating. If there is someone in particular you want to take your life, I can override the selection protocol for that purpose. Perhaps next time, Alice, since Rhys has requested Jack. Please proceed to the judgement theater." No one else will be able to step into the judgement theater after them without receiving a nasty shock before they can step too close, and once they're both inside, the door closes behind both of them. There's a clicking sound from the walls, and the panels on the right side of the room are pulled up to reveal a thick glass that allows you to look into the Judgement Theater. It seems justice is meant to come from the the hands of the jury. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles votes

Decently.

[ she drawls out the word. glances towards angel and elizabeth. alice had gotten shocked earlier, too, trying to defend elizabeth. shijima still hasn't bothered to learn everyone's names, but she does know the names of everyone in her room. and they take priority.

accordingly, she's acerbically furious. ]

...Well, I think that was a failure, but if you have anything you think we should ask you by all means give us the question so we can move on.

[jackhole]

Uh, no. I don't really have anything else to say. I'm kind of... trying to figure out stuff myself, so!

[ well, rhys rhys'd it once again and he accepts that at least ]

[liven]

Very well. Try to aim properly.

[ she taps a vein on her neck, then falls silent. it's...advice? for after he finishes talking to everyone else. ]

[jackhole]

[ this probably wasn't your intent, shijima, but this sort of cheers him up and he nods, grinning. ]

Will do!

[liven]

It'd be easier if you just let one of us kill you, you know. But I suppose you're against us remembering things and making it harder for your counterparts.

[jackhole]

[ opens mouth.

closes mouth. ]

... Ohhh, I totally didn't think of that.

[ REMEMBER WHEN RHYS WAS A MORON ]

[liven]

I'll stab you if you like. I want to see what the fuss is about, and I actually know how to aim.

[ she does not think he knows how to aim.

also she just

wants to go eat dessert oh my god shijima... ]
