WEEK 10 - Trial Day Two

[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.

Fairly big? Like, my friend Jake carried around the wreckage of his house or somethin'. Mine's not that insane, though. Neither is Dave's, I don't think.

[erythristic]

So you're limited to five items at a time?

[she watched you dump your purse the other day.]

[muties]

Yeah, though I don't usually fill 'em. Since that's such a shitty limit? What if I find somethin' I wanna carry in the middle of the day. I'd have to carry it with my hands or dump something. Ugh.

I'd show you, but like Dave said I have. No idea if it would actually appear or if I'd be gesturing at air like here's my fetch modus it's a cabinet with bottles.

[ homestuck is the worst oh my god. roxy's is the most literal/physical fetch modus, also? i think??? why the fuck. ]

[erythristic]

I showed you all my death scythe. It's worth a try?

[look just suspend any attempt at rationalizing homestuck]

[muties]

Shit, why not.

[ ok since dave's appears roxy's apparently can too

here it is. gestures to it. do you want me to complain about roxy's sylladex because usually this is all that happens what is the cabinet's point is it just to make an alcoholic reference we just don't know.

and I guess there's only five "bottles"/cards and only two of them have things-- one has her mom's book and another has a lipstick. are they visible in the bottles? I doN'T ACTUALLY KNOW YELLS]

[erythristic]

[by the power of murder mysteries Grell's brain does not shortcircuit at the sight of that and instead she looks fairly impressed.]

Much more convenient than pockets.

[muties]

Just a lil' bit yeah. Also, have you noticed how many girls clothes don't have pockets? Like what the actual fuck is up with that?

[erythristic]

I know, it's ridiculous. If my skirts hadn't come with pockets - [thank you, you beautiful and practical dresses that Alice provided] - I would have been confined to pants or had to sew them in myself. What, do they think that women don't need objects on hand as much as men?

[this is a MURDER TRIAL]
