WEEK 1 - Investigation

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

friday (?) survivors Friday careens around the corner soon enough, much like every day preceding it does. This morning, however, is greeted with a surprise — your datapad is making a strange noise. Perhaps it's buried under the duvet you're sleeping under, or at the far corner of the room, maybe you're the forgetful type and left it in the bathroom, or maybe, just maybe, you have it right next to your ear when a song blasts at full volume. Upon inspection, you'll find the accompanying video is playing as well. The song seems to loop, this time being overlain with a voice recanting the history of the band in a steady, robotic tone. Was it the AI? You probably didn't care, and, instead, decided to leave your room. Once you do, the song finally ends. You are free. You may feel rather manipulated right now, or you are just satiated to be away from the music. Either way, it's clear your day has only just begun. ENTER COMMAND_

[being incredibly embarrassing is what, what's. up.]

If we figure it out before the trial, it might help stop the whole murder-cycle in its tracks.

[missmaladroite]

And the killer should have a clue as to who is really behind all of this.

[chiseler]

[Actually okay sure that's not a bad thought. It makes some sense.]

That's if the killer's willing to talk. That's the part you've gotta look out for.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

If we find them and we go through the trial, they'll die. I don't know about you, but at that point I'd take my chances with talking.

[not that they're willing to let anyone die but y'know Principle of the thing]

[missmaladroite]

And whoever this killer is, I'm sure they're just as eager to escape this predicament as the rest of us. Especially with a potential execution hanging over their head.

[not that they'd let them die but you know]

[chiseler]

[Annnd there's a drawn-out sigh.]

You two seem like real nice kids so I'll only say this once. Did you ever consider you're just making yourselves targets to be next?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

These costumes aren't just for show. We can protect ourselves better than a lot of people here.

[implied: and protect them, too :T]

[missmaladroite]

This is our job. Your safety-- the safety of everyone here, is our priority, and we'll do whatever we can to keep you safe.

[even if it means painting a target on their backs!!]

[these dumb shounen kids!!!]

[chiseler]

[Why is it always shounens...why this????]

Riight. If I find anything useful in the "investigation", I'll let you know.

[These poor saps, please don't actually get killed next. It'd be really embarrassing to find you both dead and in animal-themed spandex.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[with a two fingered salute because he is a literal piece of shit:]

Thanks. Every little bit helps.

[missmaladroite]

Thank you for your precious help. We appreciate it.

[Emphatically!!]

[Apparently, she's the nice one ???]
