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.

[RIP batdildo, you will be missed, but what can't be missed is Grell's voice from where she has Adelina's sword in her hands.]

Adelina, would you care to explain these results to us?

[bloodbiter]

[honestly no she really would not like to explain

after a few seconds, choked out:]

I'm sorry. I swear I didn't - I wouldn't have... She got in the way. She wasn't supposed to be there.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Adelina-- why?

[YOU LITERALLY YELLED AT DORIAN LAST WEEK FOR THIS WTF]

[bloodbiter]

I'm sorry. I swear I wouldn't— Adrien, if it were any other motive...

[monsieurchatastrophe]

You don't even know if it's real. Everyone up there-- were you really going to let them take the fall for this?!

[tevinteriscoming]

You remember it. You did do this for the motive, didn't you? For your sister, and for your country?

[bloodbiter]

No. I swear - I wouldn't have done this for her. I was going to say something as soon as I came in. But I - he was there.

[jack.]

I thought - if nobody knew who it was, they would vote for him, and if I didn't get enough votes, she would...

[tevinteriscoming]

[His expression is sad and also guilt-ridden. This is putting their conversation earlier in the week better in perspective.]

I wish you'd told me. I ought to have better warned you - these motives, they aren't - I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. It isn't worth your life.

I will vote for him. I couldn't possibly do anything else.

[socloverit]

But Machias was!

[STOP KILLING CLOVER'S FRIENDS]

[bloodbiter]

Yes, he was, but I...

[there's no nice way to say "i was going to murder your friend as painlessly as possible" is there]

You have every right to hate me.

[she fucked up]

[baptizer]

Adelina!

[ This isn't how it works. She's talking out loud, making note - this isn't the creature... ]

You didn't...

[bloodbiter]

I had to. I couldn't... [breath.] I had to do something. If it were any other motive, Elizabeth, I swear...

[erythristic]

[and after a moment where her expression goes completely blank, unreadable, all she does is extend her hands.

take your murder weapon back, Adelina. let them all see. their scorn will be enough for her, you killing the boy she wanted to protect even a little.]

[bloodbiter]

[she doesn't move or speak for a few long moments.]

I don't need it anymore, I suppose.

[missmaladroite]

Adelina!

[WHAT THE FUCK]

[bloodbiter]

I told them not to vote for you. I wouldn't have let them hurt you, I swear—

[that is the problem here, clearly]

[todorable]

Really? You...you're sure you remember the whole thing.

[bloodbiter]

I'm sorry. I don't... I know I should have said something before this started.

[antagonize]

You were going to let someone innocent take the fall for you. Guess you don't really think what your sister thinks about you.

[He's... He's genuinely disappointed.]

[bloodbiter]

No. You don't understand. I was going to say something as soon as I came in, I swear I was. But he was there and I thought if nobody knew who it was...

I told you not to vote for Marinette. If I thought you were going to hurt someone who was actually innocent - he killed someone in public!

[bloodteller]

[ you know what. no. this is so not cool.

yuno barely waits for adelina to finish speaking before walking over and --

well attempting to slap her. fucking immunity. her hand just bounces back and she must have put a lot of force into the hit because yuno slides back just a touch. ]

Fuck you! Minako didn't deserve that. She wasn't in the way. Don't say that about her!

[baptizer]

Yuno!

[ NOPE, INTERVENING AND GRABBING ONTO THE GIRL'S ARMS. Even if she struggles, she refuses to lose two friends to this bullshit. ]

She has enough going on - don't... please don't add to it! She's going to die for what she did -

[ And if Yuno looks, you can easily see the tears streaming down her face. ]

That's your revenge.

[bloodbiter]

[it's cool, she deserves it

as elizabeth stops her:]

She tried to kill him too!

[chiseler]

[...he honestly looks more heartbroken than angry, but then he too goes blank.]

Thank you for giving me a reason.

[bloodbiter]

...I know I was wrong. I should have said something as soon as we came in, but you have to believe that I never would have chosen to kill them both.
