trial #5
 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 |

[He could never bring himself to do that. He can't. Somehow, in a weird way, he almost wishes they were dead and gone for good. Just having them alive in some strange way is almost a blessing and a curse at the same time.]
So, what, we just play the game? Try to decide which five people get to keep their human bodies and which ones get to live in a computer forever? Is that what we want, Alice...?

[She grits her teeth. She has not lasted as long as she has to be stopped by this.]
Snap out of it. We'll find a way to ask Elizabeth and Bigby what they want, and then we'll act. But we can't lose it here, do you understand me? Get yourself together!

[He stops trembling, shoves everything back into the back of his mind where it belongs, and smiles.]
You're right, Alice. I apologize. We'll get to the bottom of this.
[He tightens his grip on her hands.]
We can do it, you and I. Let's not lose hope now.

Can you let go of my hands now?

Anyway, we'll figure this out. So... keep it together for now, okay?
