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.

an incredibly accurate trial summary so far

[douchemag]

[So Judar has not been paying attention to like. Any of this shit. But for some reason, they haven't voted for anyone yet and they're all still stuck in this tiny room??? There's not even enough space in here for him to lie down and take a nap??? Ugh, guess he'll actually have to make an effort.]

So...let me see if I've got this straight so far. Crowlista was stabbed to death by a magical key that could turn her into a crow? Except it turns out that she might have been the one who tried to kill someone? I don't see why we can't just throw her body out and be done with the whole thing in that case. You've got to be a huge freaking moron if you can't even succeed in killing someone with your awesome crow powers!

Anyway, if she did attack someone, then she probably scratched them with her beak or some shit and that's why they used the healing potion, yeah? And the daycare was all messed up from when they tried to catch her while she was flying away. And we're looking at clothes because...she bird pooped on the killer before she died?

Also, she has three legs? And I'm pretty sure the redhead's way too loud to be the killer?

Also we're totally calling ALwhatever Ass Lice.

[literally none of this is right please someone do an actual trial summary thanks]

[muties]

[ god bless this guy ]

... Yep, that's about right. Good job, Jude.

[parodeity]

Sounds spot-on to me.

[ THE STRILONDES ARE SUPER HELPFUL, HERE.

of course, dave was the one who told judar he could headcanon the victim as a magical crow girl to start with so what did anyone expect. ]

[douchemag]

Wow, really? [he thought he'd just been zoning in and out most of this trial, but awesome good job him!!] Sweet! So we've got this pretty much all wrapped up, huh?

[Then he blinks.] Jude?

[muties]

Noooope, not at all. But thanks for the effort.

[ your useless effort ]

Jude? Judas? Judy? Which do you prefer?

[douchemag]

Ugggh, no way! I don't wanna have to wake up early and do this all again tomorrow!

[Oh no, this is awkward. How does he deal with nicknames he's never had any before??? Except 'that asshole' and 'cute little Judar' (Kougyoku has terrible taste).]

Uh...Jude's fine, I guess? [UGH NO THAT SOUNDS WAY TOO FRIENDLY HOW DOES HE TURN THIS INTO AN INSULT WHERE HE SHOWS HOW MUCH HE DOESN'T CARE] But in that case, I'm calling you Rocks!

[fucking nailed it]

[muties]

Eh, you'll survive.

[ wow, but his name is so easy to nickname?? judas priest. juju bee. jude-bug. ]

Haha, ok. I suppose I can rock Rocks.

[bloodteller]

Judar...

[ someone has a problem here ]

I thought her name was Calypso?

[douchemag]

No way! If she's a crow, shouldn't her name be Cawlypso?

[they're doing so well here]

[bloodteller]

You're just making puns with her name. [ though they're honestly pretty good puns, look, she even cracks a short smile ]

If the key turns her into a crow, then she isn't a crow at all, right? It's circumstantial.

[douchemag]

If she can turn into a crow, she should totally have a name to match! Yatatataga is waaaay too much of a mouthful.

[what the fuck does circumstantial mean] Crow, crow-girl, werecrow, same thing! Unless the key can turn anyone into a crow....

[bloodbiter]

Could you at least attempt to take this seriously?

[douchemag]

What are you talking about, I totally am! I don't see anyone else trying to catch people up!

[yeah no sad to say he's 100% serious about this...okay more like 75%.]

[toprotecttheworld]

Well, that second to last part is certainly true, especially the pretty part.

[Jessie, he said 'pretty sure.']

[douchemag]

[well he actually does like redheads so...good job Jessie for escaping a dumb insult this time!!]

Wait, she really does have three legs?

[toprotecttheworld]

The part after that! The part about me not being the killer. What incredible foresight and wisdom you have to have known that from the very beginning!

[douchemag]

[WELL HE SURE IS PUFFING UP NOW]

It's only to be expected of the power of a Magi! We're known for our wisdom and foresight, after all!

[thanatosincarnate]

{ For those who would get confused by this guy's version of the summary so Far, he'll just translate. }

Callisto Yew was stabbed twice, and it resulted in her death. The murder weapon could have been her own item, which happens to be named Yatagarasu -- it's a dagger and not a magical key. The dagger normally seems to be concealed.

She may have invited the killer into the daycare, and it turned against her.

Callisto was overtaken by her killer during the struggle. She managed to gain a hit on the culprit with her blade and forced them to use the congealing gel to heal themselves. The reason why we searched the rooms was to find out if blood happened to get on the killer's clothing or if it was torn during the struggle.

No one has three legs. Jessie is unlikely to be the killer.

Currently that woman, Alita Talia, seems to be the main suspect.

... I'm assuming that's what you meant.

[bloodbiter]

The main suspect... Why do you say so?

[thanatosincarnate]

I assumed that was what he meant when he said "calling" -- that he or others suspected her.

{ He suspects someone else...

He could've misunderstood the guy's wording, really. }

[toprotecttheworld]

When he says AL, he's talking about our resident Artificial Lack-of-Intelligence over there.

[She winks at Arumat, and.]

Could you try paying a little more attention to the trial, Scarface? You're going to distract everyone if you keep jumping to conclusions like that.

[tevinteriscoming]

[Jessie, why are you such a treasure.]

Oh, yes. We can hardly begin accusing without paying rapt attention to all of the most critical discussions.

[douchemag]

Who the fuck is Alita Tiala? [as for everything else sure why not he zoned out through most of it anyway]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ Why this. }

The woman with orange hair on the suspect list.

[douchemag]

Oh, her? [Now he just looks blank.] I don't care about her at all? I mean, if you wanna call her Ass Lice go ahead, but that seems kinda rude towards someone you've never met before.

[YEAH ARUMAT WAY TO BE FUCKING RUDE he's not being hypocritical here at all or anything]
