62 | trial #5

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.

...You're on the right track. With the two people you brought up.

the ones we brought up other than ciel you mean?

Yes. The two girls.

God I hope saying that doesn't blow your mind up or anything, I seriously have no idea how this shit works.

i refuse to die here it's fine
if it makes me hurt then i'll know it's true

I want that bitch dead so bad for what she did to me, how she treated me. But I don't want you to be a casualty either.

I won't tell you to be careful, but just be smart. You've been doing a good job at that thus far.

Then it's one of the two girls we discussed earlier.

[Ava and Rose...]

Thank you for sharing with us, Veronica. And for taking care not to accidentally kill us.

[ Similarly, upon reading, Angel will also feel a sharp pain deep in her head - though not bad enough to cause a nosebleed, at least, it's rather persistent. ]

[Worth it, tbh.]

No problem. Good luck.

If you make it out, I promise you'll all be okay.

i'll take care of it

[Some..how. She'll figure out who to kill and how to do it. Alice has never been afraid of having blood on her hands.]

if you were going to go after her how many weapons would you take?
three, or four?

[It's not exactly a subtle way of asking but... she's trying.]

If it were me, I'd just be fine using my fists.

You might want a weapon though.

[Alice curses under her breath before typing again.]

spell it out for me then
should i take three or four weapons when i go after ava or rose?

[...Ah, she sees now.]

Three should be more than enough. Four would certainly be overkill.

thank you~

[Now that Dojima finished processing the fact his only daughter may be dead, he approaches the terminal, much more dejected than before. There's something that wants to confirm, though]

Do you know if the person who killed Khu'rain is the same person who killed Cecil?

[Trying to avoid saying Rhys' name, apparently, in an effort to avoid headaches. That's the last thing he needs right now]

why dont we just take care of her now in house
there are only three of them left
if we do away with them all we can stop bothering about that and focus on other options

[ Similarly, upon reading, Shijima will also feel a sharp pain deep in her head - though not bad enough to cause a nosebleed, at least, it's rather persistent. ]

[ she doesn't so much as flinch thanks only to centuries of constantly feeling her very cells misalign.

a headache is like, easy mode. ]

i'd be fine with that

[icon keywords incredibly relevant]

its probably ava
lets just kill her in addition to ciel
and rhys whenever he stops doing whatever hes doing
and then everyone can just stop murdering one another long enough for us to work things out rationally

well if all three of the remaining staff members die we should be able to escape
since we'll have killed the overseer along with them

[But she looks up to catch Shijima's eye and nods... she's down with just going on the attack right now. Good lord, someone stop them.]

[ liz and bigby are dead and they were like 100% of room 7's impulse control. SHIJIMA IS DOWN. ]

It's your call. Nothing I can really do to stop you from here.

[ After posting this, Alice will feel a sharp pain deep in her head - though not bad enough to cause a nosebleed, at least, it's rather persistent. Apparently, some of that would have been redacted. ]

—agh!

[Shit, ow, shit. Alice stumbles back away from the terminal and puts a hand up to her head, gritting her teeth. Well, at least she knows for a fact that what Veronica was saying is true.

She grits her teeth and narrows her eyes. Ava and Rose, then. They better watch their backs.]
