WEEK 1 - TRIAL DAY TWO

[al2955]

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

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO (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. The trial will end at 9:00 PM, at which point all players will have been expected to cast their vote.

[. . . what]

Didn't you just tell me the truth?

[???? ? ?????]

[itt adrien forgets about the murder suspect bit]

[toprotecttheworld]

I'm talking about the murder! You still have work to do, kid!

[Come ON her survival is counting on this.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

--Oh, that. I never thought you were the murderer.

[his list of suspects is, uhm, still exactly the same post-reveal. he never even considered jessie.]

[toprotecttheworld]

That's because I'm not. And I'm going to prove it however I can.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[...by loudly proclaiming that she's a thief]

[ok]

Well... thief or not, we're here to find out the truth. I'm sure we'll figure out the real culprit soon enough.

[toprotecttheworld]

We need to figure out what Calcium was doing up to the moments before her murder. Why did she go to the Daycare? And what did the killer use the minimal amount of medical ooze for? All the other evidence is circumstantial.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

... The wounds they were trying to hide have to be on the killer's body, right? Or could they have been on the victim? We talked about how there wasn't any bruising immediately visible on the victim even though she could've fought back according to her profile.

[toprotecttheworld]

But that's not how the healing serum works, Adrien! If only a fingertip's worth was missing, it must have been used to cover something tiny. And it won't work on bruises. So what are we missing?!

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[this is why I shouldn't tag in the morning I MEAN adrien thinks scrapes and bruises go hand in hand tbh!!!!]

...Doesn't that mean the killer would have to be pretty good to get away with only a small scrape from that knife when it wasn't theirs in the first place? [more than that--] We've been assuming there was a fight but... Wouldn't one or both of them be more wounded if that's the case?

[toprotecttheworld]

...We need more physical evidence. That's what this is all about, isn't it? We can't keep guessing at stories, we can only guess at where to look.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Maybe someone found something in the room searches? I think that's all we can hope for right now for physical evidence. Otherwise all we can do is guess based on what we have, which... isn't much.
