WEEK TWO - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (2)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (38) 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 but dave can't judge skinny jeans BECAUSE GUESS WHAT HE'S WEARING RIGHT NOW. black skinny jeans and his red-and-white record tee. does he own jeans that aren't skinny, no.

he's going to check all the pockets and behind and inside of everything but will be Nice and put everything back exactly as he finds it as he goes.

well. nice and also reasonably scared of emily.

he doesn't comment on the emily could or could not debate. ]

[thatbites]

[In that final check of her closet Dave finds the all access key card!!!!!



Just kidding. There is nothing of note in her pockets.]

[bloodbiter]

[frowns]

And which of the others would you say is the kind of person to murder another?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[:C :C :C]

I know what you're trying to say, Adelina, but-- there's people I need to trust my judgement on. If it was you or Dave up there, I wouldn't believe it either.

[i mean emily is like ... way down ... from you two but y'know]

[parodeity]

Some people here are def more likely than others. I would say last week's murderer du jour was actually pretty fuckin' likely since...idk, she seemed pretty ready to throw down, you know? And like. Luke would totally stab a dude before, say, Mom.

[ honestly... ]

Someone did the thing, we'll figure it out, and we'll all probably not like the answer no matter who it is. No point debatin' it just yet.

[bloodbiter]

I am not trying to say anything. I am saying that we have all only known each other for several weeks, and it's unwise to trust anyone just yet. It could have been anyone, no matter how nice they seem.

[gently begins to show her un-disney princess side, sorry adrien.

but also, what.]

Your mother is here...?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[well he remains strictly disney princess so!! there!!!]

Not trusting each other is what they want. They're pitting us against one another and by acting like enemies we're just playing into their game.

[/SUPERHERO... and then]

Oh, yeah, Roxy.

[parodeity]

I've trusted people who'd only known me for a day temporally speaking. And they were giant dicks to me prior to the day and for the majority of it, so.

[ trolls..............

honestly trusting them was a crapshoot luckwise though ]

Sometimes you have to go with your gut. Like, I'm dead sure Adrien here won't kill me. Or anyone else. He's a fuckin' disney princess, have you MET the dude?

[ he's done searching so he goes to stand by adrien and. messes up adrien's hair with a hair ruffle. ]

100% expect him to burst into song any day now.

[bloodbiter]

No, what they want is for us to kill each other. It's possible to not do that and also not trust those you don't know well. I didn't mean offense, though, or to say that I suspect either of you would do something so awful.

[pauses.]

I do not know what disney is, but he certainly does not seem like a princess to me.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he's pouting at dave. he is definitely pouting at dave. he shoves him a bit, too]

It's a reference, it's-- just ignore him. [but he's definitely less RIGHTEOUS] I'm not offended. But I nearly accused Jessie last week, and I'm not making the same mistake again.

[parodeity]

[ dave's just laughing, although he calms down after a second. ]

Yeah, let's all just...idk, chill? We have another entire day to work through this. Obviously we need to examine each of the suspects carefully, and Adrien gets that. I don't think you two actually disagree in theory, you're just kinda wordin' things differently and focusing on different parts of what you're saying.

[bloodbiter]

I'm calm. I'm not accusing anyone, either, so... Perhaps Dave is right.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

He probably is, but I hate to tell him.

[he is right there adrien stop joshing]

Sorry, Adelina.

[parodeity]

I'm always right, as Adrien will eventually learn. Anyway...I think this search is a bust. Time to head back?
