trial #5

[judgejudy]

DAY 10 (afternoon) Complex Population: 15 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 11/5. voting

[Yeah, that's... a pretty shoddy defense. But can Alice really say it's all that different from her own earlier defenses? "No way was that me, I would have killed that person a lot differently"? Yeah... no.]

...I can't tell if you're being honest or if you're being sarcastic.

[Or both. Is it possible to be both? If anyone could manage that, Rose could.]

[liven]

I like her. I don't think she had anything to do with it.

[selfsufficiency]

...I agree she doesn't really seem the type, but...

[Alice's list of people she trusts is very small and Rose sure isn't on it.]

[liven]

Of the two of them, I'd say Ava would be more likely.

[selfsufficiency]

...you're probably right.

[She's still going to stare at Rose suspiciously, though. Trust no one.]

[selfdenying]

Ava certainly is smart enough, that I know for a fact. She's very unassuming, too, which works for her favor - I don't think anyone has even considered her having some sort of role because of it.

[grimdeity]

Perhaps both. Except the part about not doing it, that was purely honest. I didn't do this.

[selfsufficiency]

[The look in Alice's eyes is still wary and somewhat suspicious, but she nods slowly.]

...I guess I'll believe you for now.

[Unless something comes up that makes Rose look especially suspicious.]

[grimdeity]

[ that's fair tbh ]

I appreciate it.
