WEEK 9 - Trial Day Two

[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.

Excuse me?

[FIGHT HIM IRL, TODD]

[antagonize]

I said I didn't want to suggest it, didn't I?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Yeah, and you shouldn't have. There's nothing here that points to her. We patrol every Thursday night, it's common knowledge.

[I'm sorry for who he chooses to be]

[antagonize]

We need to consider every suspect, Adrien. "Common knowledge" doesn't mean shit in this place. Neither does free will.

[Chill, kitty cat. Chill.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

She's not an alien. I'd know.

[this is the worst defense possible?]

[antagonize]

Yeah. Same way Jack knew Rhys was an alien, right? And how everyone knew Elizabeth was one, too.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

That's not the same. It's not like anyone was paying attention then. We didn't know.

[he has his reasons for thinking marinette isn't possessed but none of them he is willing to say out loud yet so instead you get. this.]

[antagonize]

I don't think paying attention nets you an automatic alien detection kit, kid.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

That's not... look, of the two of us, if anyone's going to be possessed, it's me. It wouldn't be the first time.

[what the fuck adrien]

[antagonize]

Except you're not a suspect this week, so that doesn't matter.

[missmaladroite]

If you were possessed, I would have found out. And put a stop to it.

[as always!!!]

Now calm down. We'll figure this out.

[tevinteriscoming]

If Marinette is one of them, and I think it very unlikely at this point, but if she were, the only way to save her would be to prove it. We must be willing to theorize the worst.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[>:(]

We were with her the entire night! I think we would've noticed if she came back bloody from a murder, this wasn't exactly a clean kill!

[tevinteriscoming]

[Calmly right back.]

Haven't I just finished telling Jason so? I won't see her targeted without evidence, either. But it's better for the question to be raised than to remain unbidden on someone's mind, never to be debunked.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[THIS ISNT ABOUT LOGIC, GOD]

It's not a question worth raising.

[now he is just being petulant]

[missmaladroite]

[Hand on his shoulder!!!]

It's fine, Adrien. They're just being thorough. We'll prove my innocence with the evidence, like everyone else.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[stares. stares at forever. remembers week 7's trial. angrily mumbles:]

I don't think I like this role reversal much. [but he's crossing his arms and stopping his argument ... FOR NOW]

[missmaladroite]

[look she pulls his tail when he runs off like a moron]

Come on, minou. You know how this works.
