WEEK 10 - Trial Day Two
| 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. |

...Okay, well. Prrrrrobably not super relevant here, but damn if I'm not curious. Hash map? Just curious how that, uh. Works. For you.

It's my fetch modus. It's a key-to-value lookup structure - I've got mine set on scrabble, programmed that one in myself, the other function was a pain in the fucking ass. So, I need to figure out rn a value that will equal corpse in four or just. Dump everything else fuck. Basically every letter of an object has the scrabble value, you add 'em up? And that's the card number. Unless it's too high and then you divide until it's not?
[ no he just
rambles for a while
this does not sound like a very intuitive and good inventory system, actually. why is he still using it. ]
no subject
[ But Jack actually listens with genuine interest, since he's a nerd, and even though this is definitely in a format he's not used to hearing, weirdly, he seems to get it? ]
I mean, pretty clever if you're looking to make it real secure, since, yeah, you're not going to crack that real easily. Like... Kinda the point of why you use them in a computer? That shit's super easy for a computer, nnnnot so much for people.
[ He laughs, then adds: ]
But, gotta ask. Why go with that?
no subject
[ ..........................he thinks there's a clear moment of "oh my god what if other people can reach in there do i want to know if it's possible do i want to test the boundaries of insane sylladexes" and dave just decides no
he's not going to question his inventory system it can do what it wants ]
It's what my Bro had me set up with back in the day and I just never bothered swappin' it out, tbh.
no subject
Y'know, considering that explanation? Mmmmaybe you should. Now, granted, barely understand how this shit works, but if you're working with hashmaps? Hell, might have some idea. But also understand the importance of bros, so I won't try and usurp that, but just offering.
no subject
[ yeah he
he needs a dumb game abstraction card to change to another fetch modus ]

[ every homestuck when faced with carrying things by hand tends to go
i'm not sure what u mean
dave and roxy have adapted sort of but they still tend to not carry things in their hands ]
no subject
[ Jack snorts out a laugh at this, because man, this is too good. ]
Of all the weird shit I've probably mentioned, that's the one that comes to mind? Carrying things with your hands? That's-- I mean, it's why you have hands in the first place, kiddo.
no subject
I mean, I guess.
[ he doesn't sound convinced tho ]
no subject
[ Jack sounds like he wants to prove this, but he'll never prove this against the strangeness of picking things up, I bet. ]
Like-- Like, okay, there were these animals on Pandora? Bonerfarts. That was their real name. Briefly.
no subject
[ what the flying fuck
what the fuck???????????
there were three of you shits for weeks and now there are two of you and NO ONE TOLD DAVE STRIDER ABOUT BONERFARTS????????????
he's legitimately offended omg ]
no subject
Yeah, they're like— They're these huge assholes that throw rocks at you. Actually called bullymongs now, which is super boring, but. There was this guy, like a wildlife dude or something, and he was trying to rename them. And that's what he came up with. And, personally? I think it should have stuck around. It's beautiful.
no subject
[ use your powers for good???????? ]
no subject
...Cultish, but not cult. Like, Hyperion gets a liiiittle weird in their hero worship, but cult? Nahhhh. Those are all on Pandora.
[ He waves a hand dismissively. ]
But, hell, maybe I'll start a new trend. In my heart, they're absolutely still Bonerfarts.

[ #bonerfarts4lyfe ]

[ Jack grins, and he nods enthusiastically, since he is absolutely all for this. ]
Cross-dimensional petition has to make it like- Like, way more legit. I call that official enough.
