WEEK 1 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (40) 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. At 7PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. All players will be escorted by the robots into the cafeteria. From there, they're free to head into the lounge, the viewing deck, the chapel, or back to their rooms. All other areas of the ship have been locked off, and every player will be accompanied by a robot until they return to their room for the night. Any attempts to enter a locked off room or physically interfere with the trial or evidence outside of their room will cause the robot to raise a ship-wide alarm.

Works for me. But how do we even set up a vote for that?

[children priorities plz]

[parodeity]

I think if we just get enough people to agree on a name it works. Yo stand on the table and ask people to say "aye" if they want her name to be Alice. I can remember Alice.

[ children.........

but no dave has apparently chosen to sit between probably roxy and adrien? so he like. nudges adrien. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Wha-- it's your name suggestion, why do I have to ask for it?

[...but he's not saying no]

[parodeity]

Well, Clover says not to pick Alice. So you pick another name and go ask people to vote for it so we can finally have a name for the ai that I don't hate.

[ idk what's the french word for computer adrien

give her a cat pun name dave doesn't care ]

We can name her Computerina for all I care the numbers are just wtf.

2/2

[parodeity]

Also because we agreed you were the brains behind this operation. The beauty doesn't have to do legwork like this.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Alright, alright. I'll ask. [a beat] But maybe we should wait until after... this?

[someone did die. collage stew or whatever.]

[parodeity]

I mean, it'd make asking her questions easier.

[ crow magical girl surely would understand! ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Yeah, but I doubt anyone's going to agree on a name yet.

[considering ... all the ... weird suggestions.....]

[parodeity]

True enough. Jesus. I guess we should...figure out when this shit went down and who could and could not have done the thing?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I guess?

[no he is still uncomfortable with this]

[parodeity]

[ dave shrugs. ]

Let's just pretend we're detectives of some level of competence we def don't possess for the time bein'. The questions we need to answer are how this happened and when. Why and who are like...details we can worry about after we work that much out, maybe.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I guess we can work out the why and who tomorrow. And then...

[vote??? to execute someone??? ughhhh]

This is messed up.

[parodeity]

...Yeah. If it helps, just...focus on doin' right by the victim.

[ ...

dave. do you remember her name? ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Yeah, I guess.

[... adrien looks a bit sheepish and he mumbles a bit]

... I'm not the only one who has trouble remembering her name, right?

[parodeity]

Uh. Nah. I talked to her all of once and never got her name, so.

[ dave...also looks sheepish.

SORRY, YOU. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I never talked to her at all, and everyone keeps saying different things...

[including himself but y'know]
