WEEK 11 - TRIAL
| the pygmalion. . . ONLINE  CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (11) |
saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (13) 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. |

[No, he's clearly bullshitting, this is definitely not the finest acting he's ever done here.]

I've had worse visions from taking the wrong tonic at a party.

I've had worse visions from eating bad fish for dinner! [He tosses the drink back with a grin, but his face goes a little more serious when he's done.] Seriously though, you ever come up against something like that before?
no subject
A little like it. Higher demon, called a Nightmare. Tries to get in your head in a similar fashion. Dies when you hit it enough, however.
no subject
Here's hoping this asshole's the same breed then. It's been ages, I'm looking forward to going all-out on something without having to worry about getting executed later. [Then he makes a face.] I mean, as all out as I can get on this dumb ship anyway.
no subject
Have you noticed any change to your magic, since Alice vanished? I haven't. I find it strange, don't you, that it hasn't all come back.
no subject
Not even a little. I take my magic from outside sources, so I just figured this ship didn't have enough for my spells to be at their usual strength, but...if you're still limited too, maybe it really wasn't Ass Lice behind it all. It'd be great if we could find a way to get it all back though.
no subject
[He says, pouring another shot.]
Mm. I suspected as much. The notes said they'd found a way to replicate the Fade here. Perhaps the way they replicated the Fade is causing my difficulties, except - it hardly makes sense. I have one of my more complex fire spells, but I haven't the ability to conjure a simple flame. It feels calculated - the magic I have would be excellent for killing someone, but poor for defending myself without trying to kill. That's exactly what a game like this would want.
no subject
[He looks thoughtful.] Can't say I've thought of it like that before, since most of what I know's tailored for offense, but...huh, yeah, you're right. Explains why I don't have any access to clairvoyance or teleportation magic. [A scowl.] So what the hell does that mean now that Ass Lice's gone and the game's over? Don't tell me we're stuck like this.
