WEEK 8 - Trial Day Two

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (8)

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO (22) survivors At 9 AM, a klaxon alarm begins blaring in every area of the ship. The alarm will continue to go off until everyone has gathered in the conference room. Should anyone be running late or avoiding the trial for whatever reason, a robot guide will appear wherever they are and gently but firmly escort them into the room. Once all the living players are present, the conference room doors will lock shut; anyone who wishes to leave for whatever reason will need to ask AL-2955 or one of the robots. Anyone leaving for non-investigative purposes, such as bathroom breaks, will be accompanied by a robot escort. The large round table in the center of the conference room has been set up to help the trial run as smoothly as possible. Three holographic screens hover above the center hollow of the table, visible from every angle. The first screen displays the pictures and profiles of the suspects and victim; the second displays the autopsy report; the third displays a blank word processor. Each of the chairs comes equipped with a virtual keyboard which can be used to type information directly into the third screen, such as theories and updated information; they can also be set into privacy mode, which will transfer whatever notes someone writes directly into their datapad instead of on screen. There's also a tablet function for those who wish to draw charts or pictures on screen. The keyboards will detect the DNA of whoever's using them and record who's typed what - simply press an area of text and the name of whoever wrote it will pop up. The area to the right of the table has been temporarily sectioned off with a glass partition and sliding door for hygienic issues. Inside, the victim's body has been laid out on a metal autopsy table, covered by a plastic sheet. Above it is a holographic screen that displays a close-up color photograph of the body when it was found. A hand sanitizer dispenser has been considerately attached to the wall nearby for anyone getting up close and personal to the body. To the left of the conference table is a display case. Any evidence found during the investigation will be carefully collected by the robots at some point the previous day and placed here before the trial starts. Beneath each piece of evidence is a small tablet where players can type up information, such as a short description or where it was found. There are also empty areas left over for any evidence that may be found during the trial. The shelf at the very bottom of the case has been reserved for an extra rulebook in case anyone needs it. Food will be served throughout the day by the robots, who will take individual orders whenever you're feeling hungry. The trial will end at 9:00 PM, at which point all players will have been expected to cast their vote.

let's...talk about...mpreg...

[douchemag]

[Well Judar's bored, so he's just going to be flipping through the horrible mpreg book looking simultaneously both revolted and incredibly amused.]

Whoa, Arumat was into some seriously kinky shit. You said you found this in his bathroom? What, was he jerking off into it or something?

[antagonize]

Maybe he was doing some light reading to get the bowels moving.

[You know. In the toilet. When he was taking a shit. WHATEVER.]

... But unless Arumat had some peculiar interests we didn't know jack about, we might as well figure out what the hell a book about male pregnancy was doing in his room. It doesn't look like it's responsible for the injury on his forehead, does it?

[douchemag]

[Twisting his head to try to make sense of some of these godawful diagrams.] Ahaha, oh my god, some of these pictures are definitely terrifying enough to get anyone to shit themselves.

[He'll close the book when Jason brings that up to peer at the cover though.] I don't see any blood on it anywhere. Plus it'd probably take some serious strength to bash someone's head in with a book.

[antagonize]

At least two of our suspects are stronger than the average human. Bashing Arumat's head in with a book wouldn't be out of the question, but if there's no blood? There's no blood. Not unless spraying it with luminol shows something different, but let's not consider that unless it's absolutely necessary.

[He shrugs. That's one less theory to think about. They need to conserve the batdick, anyway.]

Now you've got me curious about all the pictures. Mind if I take the book for a while?

[He's going to carefully read the mpreg book. He's going to do it. It's time to suffer through this hell.]

[bloodteller]

Judar! Don't talk about such a d--di--a personal thing!

[ her face is in her hands WHY DOES SHE LIKE HIM AGAIN?? ]

[douchemag]

[WHAT A GOOD QUESTION]

Hey, it wasn't found in my room! Aren't we supposed to talk forever about every little thing we find in these trials?

[bloodteller]

I highly doubt he used it for jack off material! It's a medical textbook!

[ ............... hold up ]

Masturbation material... It's probably not that.

[chiseler]

[...look he likes Arumat, but this is still fucking hysterical.]

The book was checked right? No hidden compartments or anything?

[douchemag]

Far as I can tell, there's nothing in here other than some seriously disturbing pictures. [He tosses the book at Luke.] But hey, you wanna check in more detail, be my guest.

[he's only doing this to subject Luke's eyes to sonic mpreg tbh]

[chiseler]

[He instinctively catches the book and no don'tlookdon'tlookdon't--okay curiosity gets the better of him and there are all sorts of yelps of regret.

And he's chucking the book back at Judar's head.]

No. We are done with that.

[bloodbiter]

Stop that this instant.

[judar she will end you]

[baptizer]

I echo that.

[ Teen prudes incoming. ]

[douchemag]

Whaaaat? I thought we were supposed to discuss every tiny detail in these things, no matter how boring. And even you gotta admit, this is far from boring.

[he's being a good trial helper!! be proud of him!! (no he's terrible push him over)]

[bloodbiter]

Then at least give it to someone who's going to be more respectful and responsible so they can examine it instead of you.

[todorable]

Seriously? ...If he was into mpreg then what were all those dildos about?

[douchemag]

Hey, a guy can have more than one kink. Especially if they're this dirty and weird.

[todorable]

I dunno, man. Shedding the baby weight to get back that six-pack seems like it'd be a lot of work.

burning mpreg has #consequences

[breakshot]

[ So after that mpreg burning adventure, Machias has returned with the other scorched book. ]

... Well, we might want to have a closer look at the section that damned book came from now, because there's scorch marks that definitely don't belong there. They're awfully similar to the ones left in Arumat's room.

[ Just going to leave out for people to poke it. It's face up and showing the scorch marks. ]

Anyone have any ideas? Because if not, we're going to have to reconsider a few things - like how this actually went down, for one.

[todorable]

What could make that kind of heat and not burn a book? ...Or what could it be, if it's not hot?

[muties]

Maybe we need to do some test book burnings to find out?

[breakshot]

If it were fire, then the entire archives would go up in smoke.

It'd have to be some friction in some form to cause that kind of warping on the metal. So unless someone smacked something hot against it, or has some kind of chemical that just coincidentally causes that kind of burning...

[bloodbiter]

I can't see why the books would have been scorched if an altercation didn't take place in the archives instead, but... If that were the case, why bring him back to his room afterwards? What would the killer gain?

[antietam]

Hiding the body for longer to keep the time of death a mystery?

But why was there so little sign of a fight in there? Just on a shelf...

[bloodteller]

...Hey, where did you get that?

[ yuno seems to be very, very interested in this book. she's probably team edward ]

[missmaladroite]

You found this somewhere else? Did you check the room?
