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.

If no one has any objections, I'll do it.

[he's ready for the teasing but lmao tikki is def in those clothes woops]

[look who's going tomato red]

I-- A-Adrien?!

[note that she isn't exactly protesting]

[OKAY LISTEN IF SHE'S BLUSHING HE'S BLUSHING? CRIPES]

I-- if you're okay with it? But you don't have anything to hide from me.

[that last part is said in a lower tone to try to hint at tikki and probably just sounds like a failed seduction attempt. why this.]

[It sure does. But Marinette gets it]

[but that doesn't stop her brain from halting all thought processes]

I-- well--- if it's you---

[Marinette fucking stop]

[screaming internally this is worse than when she caught him in the "shower"]

Alright. Then let's go, my Lady.

[DONT BOW YOU PIECE OF TRASH]

Right! Let's!

[grabs his hand and starts running off to a secluded area, absolutely making this look worse]

[this is 2 str8 but he let himself be led away]

Maybe don't rush off so fast...?

Shh! Let's get this over with!

[Where are they even stripping]

[but she gives a sigh of relief once they're out of earshot]

Thank you.

[in a corner behind a blanket so everyone can assume they're making out. idk???]

[he sighs a bit]

They probably won't let that go [and. since the music is still going. they really won't] but I thought it was better that then trying to explain your "new plush ladybug" in the middle of trial.

[Maybe they are]

I know. But you're right-- it's better this way. [The last thing she wants is for Tikki to be in danger. It'd bad enough that literally everyone knows her secret identity now, but if anything happened to Tikki--]

Er... are we still going to...

[Strip??]

I feel like someone should object, but. Do you guys want some mood music?

[ she is ready to play buttons by the pussycat dolls. or sing upendi from the lion king 2. or maybe play talking body by tove lo. ]

Psst, don't ask. Just play it.

[Hit play, Roxy. Let Buttons be the BGM to this romantic moment.]

Roxy! Don't listen to Jason!

What? You may as well have fun with it, Mari girl. Work that ass.

[ it's too late anyway. this is happening. ]

Do I have to remind you too that this is a murder trial?!

[ugh she's blushing, life is hard]

You say that like we've ever had a single serious murder trial.

Maybe we should start!

[ puts a hand on her shoulder ]

It's too late for that. We're always going to be poorly behaved disasters. Embrace it.

[ mostly because over half of them are dead ]

I can't believe I'm the only responsible one here... [GROUCHES, but doesn't push Roxy's hand off] Why don't you set a good example for Dave?

[ well if jason, a technical adult says so! that makes it ok.

buttons the one featuring snoop dogg at dave's behest probably will be blasting from her tablet.

ur welcome adrinette. ]

[time for a fistbump?]

[ absolutely. ]

[muffled by his hands as he HIDES HIS FACE IN THEM] She's on trial for murder!

Yeah, for killing you with that fine ass.

[ winks ]

-- Wait, shit, I shoulda played Anaconda. [ really there are so many great stripping songs lord ]

Please stop objectifying my girlfriend.
