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.

[al2955]

The holographic screen in the middle displays the photos and profiles of each of the suspects. Pressing their photograph will bring up a tab where the suspects can type up their alibi.

Whereabouts - Thursday Night - Friday Morning, Week Ten

Findings

[al2955]

The display case to the left of the conference table houses all the evidence that has been found during the investigation so far. Below each piece of evidence is a tablet where players can label the piece and type up any notes they may have about it. There are also empty slots with blank tablets for any evidence or information that may be found during the trial.

All evidence and other information found during the course of investigation should be listed here.

(OOC: Please also link the thread where the evidence was found!)

Body

[al2955]

The right area of the room has been sectioned off by a glass partition, which players can enter via a vertical sliding door. Elizabeth's and Todomatsu's bodies has been laid out on two sterile metal autopsy tables. Their bodies are covered with a plastic sheet, but the sheet can be removed. Other than the position and the sheet, the body has not been changed from how they were found.

A holographic screen above the body displays two color photos of the scene when the body discovery alarms rang at 9:31 AM and 9:50 AM. The photographs are close ups - they portray Elizabeth's and Todomatsu's bodies, but no more of the scene than is necessary to do so. Still, if you want to check their position, it makes it easy to do so.

Host

[al2955]

[Once the 9AM alarm has rung and all players have awakened, the statue in the alcove in the back of the room chimes gently. Holographic water begins pouring out of the jug the statue is carrying, forming the shimmering image of a vaguely feminine figure made out of liquid.]

Greetings, participants. As always, I am at your disposal should you need to ask anything. Good luck.

[The holographic image will remain throughout the trial. You're free to ask her whatever you want, though whether she'll answer is a different question entirely.]

[muties]

Ohhhh my god. This suspect list can get fucked.

Suspect AMA again, I guess? As helpful as that is, anyway.

[parodeity]

8pm-9pm after dinner chilled with luke and adam for a bit
9pm-9:13pm went back to my room had a quick shower before going over to mom's place
9:13pm-11pm hung out playing furry passing in mom's room waiting for her to get back from wherever. furry passing is clearly not addicting in any way shape or form at all
11pm-11:48pm spent some time working on the best fucking book the world will never see, fell asleep
6:58am mom woke me up by smacking my arm and saying something about pancakes
7am went back to bed for a bit while she went off to wherever b/c fuck that hour in particular
8am headed down for usual breakfast meetup, there were no pancakes but there was aj and cereal so life was good
8:29am decided to go to the weapons locker room and challenge myself to name all the series those weapons in the case were from. i got zelda, lara, portal, the stark trek gun and the mario shell, but i couldn't figure out wtf the catsuit or the solo gun that wasn't star trek was from. debated several potential star trek jokes to use later.

since we didnt implode or die when sent on a fetch quest
also fuck this suspect list with a rusty spork what the fuck

[parodeity]

This is fucking bullshit, what the fuck.

[ HE LIKES EVERYONE ON THIS LIST? MOM? HIS BEST FRIENDS? can everyone just vote for dave so none of these other people die, please? ]

But ok, yeah, ask me whatever.

[ he crosses his arms but since mom is doing an ama, dave will follow suit. ]

[bloodteller]

I know how to make pancakes! Maybe not apple juice flavored ones, but if you want some homemade ones, you could ask me.

[ ... WAIT it's supposed to be a question! ]

If you want to? It's up to you? [ does that sound question-y enough ]

[parodeity]

can confirm moms was with me for all the stated times where she said she was with me
also
dont fucking vote for my mom

also i wanna see the mustache art later

[chiseler]

8pm-9pm Hanging out with Dave and Adam. Figured it'd be good for the kids to get to know each other, whatever.
9pm-11pm After we left Dave Adam and I went down to the archives because I've never read science fiction before? Adam proceeded to make fun of me. He's kind of a jerk that way.
11pm-7am Went back to my room, Adam and I were up for a little while talking before turning in for the night
7am-8am: Went to cafeteria for coffee and breakfast. Kept to myself, I'm not totally social in the mornings you know?
8am-9am: Back to my room to shower and get ready for the day, waited for Adam to wake up. Adam left for breakfast and was gonna come back later.
9am-9:30am: Got bored waiting for Adam to come back and I wanted to check on some notes from the ship's rendezvous on Tuesday. You guys know which one I'm talking about, the one upstairs. WAY upstairs. That poor whiteboard's seen so much.
9:30am Went down to the viewport because I wanted to review my notes. Ended up being joined by Jason and Jack and that's when we looked out the window and found Elizabeth floating in space. Texted Dave via FP to meet us in the airlock so he and Roxy could bring her body back. I think we know how the rest of the day went.

[parodeity]

i guess as a suspect my confirmations are suspect or w/e but i was with luke the time he said i was and also the whole text thing and airlock thing in my alibi as well which was like witnessed by a zillion other people anyway

[muties]

[ perks up, yuno is a ray of sunshine. too pure for this world. ]

Really? I'd love that, that'd be hella rad. I'm not much of a cook, tbh. I just know pancakes aren't really cakes, and they are probs made in pans?

[ pancakes are the tru mystery here ]

[parodeity]

[ like his usual spot in trials is wedged between roxy and adrien so the whole sticking as close to roxy as possible thing sure hasn't fucking changed here

he snorts ]

This is doomed timeline levels of suckiness right up in here.

[muties]

confirmin the parts w me
also dont vote for davey haha

no seriously do not

[bloodteller]

[ why question a suspect when you can just offer to make them breakfast tbh??? ]

It's pretty simple! I could show you and write it down for you. Every mom's gotta have a recipe for pancakes, right?

[muties]

Right? Like, are we sure this isn't a legit doomed timeline. 'Cause I am feeling the doom.

[antietam]

Confirming my part. I heard when Luke woke up and came back. Left for breakfast around 9.

We did not hang out because we're "kids" either.

[chiseler]

[...here we go again. He's sitting in a chair, Backbiter's propped next to him, his journal's in front of him, and there's a bright pink scrunchie still attached to his wrist. Also wrapped around the scrunchie is a long strand of twine tied so it can't be removed from Luke's wrist. The end of said-twine is currently being held by Adam Parrish. Adam is a rude human being.]

Let's just get this over with, okay?

[antietam]

Confirming my part here as well.

[parodeity]

Dunno. I'd sure as fuck buy it bein' one, but none of my timey senses are tinglin'. Potentially because they are currently nerfed as fuck, but. Ain't like I can fix it even if it is.

[ tHANKS NERFING ]

[antietam]

[ Definitely keeping a tight grip on the twine. Don't worry friends Luke can't go anywhere. ]

You were saying about handling things?

[chiseler]

[He just makes a face and reaches up with his free hand to flick Adam in the forehead.]

It's not like I had this in mind when I said that.

[bloodteller]

[ ok guess who... is sliding over and immediately latching onto dave's arm ]

Don't worry, baby. We'll figure this out. They've got no reason to blame you. And I'm here to protect you!

[ sorry in advance

also why ask dave anything important ]

Whatever, huh? Do you main Mario or Wario in Mario Kart?
