WEEK 10 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (10)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (16) 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.

Is there a reason all of the adults on this ship need a babysitter? Don't you guys have anything better to do?

[erythristic]

Only the reckless ones need to be watched over.

[she is proud of her non-babysat status.]

[chiseler]

I'm not that reckless. [But he's giving Grell a short look. She should know exactly the reason he's doing his best to stay alive.]

[erythristic]

Perhaps. But if you have any ideas that involve the participants blowing themselves up, do let me know - I suppose I can be your substitute for experimentation.

[this is friendship, clearly.]

[chiseler]

Didn't you get the memo? We're working with ice this time. [A sharp smile. Thank you for being the best, Grell. And then in a lower tone:] Just do me a favor and help Adam where you can, okay?

[erythristic]

[briefly, she touches his shoulder and nods. they'll find the truth and clear you, Luke. via being Adam's sidekick or whatever else it takes.]

[bloodteller]

Like I do with you?

[ js... they spend most of the weeknights together? but she's teasing. ]

[erythristic]

Are you watching over me, Yuno, or am I you?

[she knows, and she's earned it, but she's still going to push back a little.]

[bloodteller]

It can't be mutual babysitting?

[erythristic]

That's companionship.

[but they're not here for semantics, they're here for murder.]

[bloodteller]

[ ok true but she's gonna be fucked up over this all day now what the FUCK ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

You guys are really bad at taking care of yourself or not murdering?

[@ jack and dorian you guys are the worst]

[chiseler]

Hey, at least I haven't murdered anybody. You have to give me some credit there.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I said or.

[chiseler]

Man, what do you want from me? I've been raising myself since I was 9.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

And you blew up a mine with yourself in the room last week. [a beat] Twice.

[STAY ON YOUR LEASH, LUKE]

[chiseler]

But did I die? Or kill anyone else? No. So my point stands and I'm perfectly fine.

[...but he's sinking into his chair yeah okay he's staying on his leash.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he'll take that victory. he will take it]

[missmaladroite]

Because you're all idiots.

[chiseler]

Ouch. That's a little cruel don't you think?

[missmaladroite]

Not if it's true. Adam has the right idea about you.

[she's just mad she wasn't exploded too]

[chiseler]

[He gives her a pensive look before he grins.]

You're probably not wrong, but don't tell him that.

[missmaladroite]

[Snorts]

At least you can admit it.

[chiseler]

Everybody has to have someone to hold them accountable in this place don't you think?
