WEEK 9 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (9)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (19) 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.

[the desk is even more horrific than last time]

[it's still full of embarassment. There are a bunch of pictures of Adrien, some printouts (HOW DID SHE EVEN??), many are sketches of him, some with clothing she made up as if she's considering making them for him, and some that are just doodles or him or as them together as Chat Noir and Ladybug. There's a pretty detailed sketch of them locking Alice in the holding cells along with Rhys, Jack, and Kazuma, and then having a wedding with everyone (minus the victims Marinette hardly knew like Calypso Ew and Todd Soup) attending. Arbok is there with a fancy suit, but there's an update from last time. Shelley, Dorian, and Iron Bull have been scratched out. It looks like a new wedding picture was started with the remaining alive people (minus Jack and Dorian) present in the wedding. Clover and Light are holding hands. On the back of one or two of the sketches, if Roxy turns them over, she can see the same couple of lines written with hearts:]

["♥♥♥ Mrs. Marinette Agreste ♥♥♥"]

["♥♥♥ Mr. Adrien Dupain-Cheng ♥♥♥"]

[you know, that that thing teenage girls do when they fill up an entire page with this nonsense]

[Other than that, there's a page full of potential eyepatch designs for Jason, and doodles of him wearing them plus a pirate hat. More stupid sketches follow: one depicts Dorian slapping Jack with his moustache, Luke being a matador to Iron Bull, the kind of bullshit you'd expected a sleep-deprived teenager to come up with. Folded in a airplane is a paper that just says 'dear Adrien' on it]

[muties]

Same reasons she took a pic of you sleepin', I guess. [ she's enough of a shit to tell adrien about that, tho ] ... What. How is eating cheese a model thing?

[ good lord. marinette, you are cute and also a little terrifying. roxy just looks through it all open-mouthed, both awed and disturbed. she straight up clutches her heart at the wedding sketches though oh my god?? ]

So, are you gonna take Mari's name when you get married? Also, you should get married next week. Maybe Monday, before the motive. [ it is now roxy's greatest desire to see these two married holy shit ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Wait, she did what? [he sounds honestly baffled by this and forgets to look at Marinette's clothes. it's not like there's anything of interest anyway. he's moving to look at what Roxy is looking at] Camembert cheese is, uh. It's a. Diet thing? Never mind that, what are you talking about? Why are we talking about marriage all of a sudden?

[he can totally look over her shoulder to try to see]

[missmaladroite]

[Marinette's clothes are cute as fuck. There are tons of options, some designed by her, but she always wears the same outfit because Cradle has no animation budget either, so they're all hanging there sadly. Aside from that, she's probably hung up some of Adrien's clothes]

[If one of them checks on the floor, there are a few discarded, crumpled balls of paper that evidently missed wherever Marinette was trying to throw them. If opened up, they will notice: several are letters to Clover that were started and scratched out, and a few are designs of clothing for her that Marinette appears to have been unsatisfied with. Other than that, she drew herself as Ladybug lassooing Dorian, Jack, Shelley and Bull, there are scratched out notes for Jason and Jessie, and sketches of Alice's 'water' and 'lava' 'forms', and an rock one because why not]

[also Adrien don't look jesus christ]

[muties]

Check her tablet, lover boy. And doesn't cheese make you constipated? That sounds like the opposite of a diet trend.

[ oh man to try and hide the wedding sketches from adrien to protect marinette or not that is a hard choice.

she picks protect and shoves one of the silly floor sketches in adrien's face. ]

Well, Mari's just so talented. Better put a ring on that before she turns full blown artistè and runs off to marry a portrait or somethin'.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'm not going to check her tablet, that's private.

[...adrien she took a picture of you sleeping... anyway he is POINTEDLY NOT ANSWERING ANY MORE ABOUT CHEESE, WHAT CHEESE? CLEARLY THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT]

Oh. Is that it? I already knew she was talented. [and then because adrien has no sense of self-preservation:] Judar actually offered to marry us a few weeks back.

[missmaladroite]

[it's time for you to fucking propose, Adrien. Maybe then she won't take pictures of you when you're sleeping]

[okay, the only thing left in the room of note is thus: the rococo statue has been vandalized and used as a model for a hat. Marinette appears to have tried to paint a monocle and pipe and bushy mustache on it.]

[That's it]

[muties]

Ok, point... I guess you wouldn't want to find her erotic fanfic about you on there.

[ that's not even real roxy no ]

Um, then you should take him up on that offer? I mean, any of us could die one of these weeks, better marry her so she can get widow's benefits in case you bite it first. Think of the children.

[ not that the furries are allowed to die. also now roxy has to harass judar about marrying them. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Erotic-- she doesn't write that. And we don't have any kids.

[he sounds more amused than anything, though.]

I'm pretty sure he was just trying to tease us. I doubt he'd do anything like that as a favor. [...oh yeah he should probably object to the getting married part right. well. he would if HE OBJECTED]
