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.

Sorry, was there something linking to Emily?

[refactor]

What, is there not?

[ Jack has probably only been selectively paying attention and figures everyone has something. And not... that I missed that ooc... never... ]

[antietam]

[ Unfortunately Adam is so unsure and Jack seems so confident?? ]

Uh, maybe I didn't see it. There's so much evidence lying around. Which was probably the point, confusion.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I don't remember a particular clue pointing to Emily. Tsukuyo has the kunai, Elizabeth has the brooch, Fiona has the jacket...Todd may have the blood writing...but I don't remember anything against Emily.

It's even possible the writing doesn't point at Todd, instead it being a clue against Tsukuyo, but then she'd stand out way too much, having two pieces of evidence against her.

[Don't take her word for it, though, she is just saying what she remembers]

I may be wrong about anything I said, though.

[antietam]

Todd's shoes were taken. [ He knows that for sure! ] It's just Emily that I can't put anything to.

[bloodteller]

If the shoes are Todd's, and we know who the brooch, kunai and scrap belonged to... Nothing of her's was found?

[ was she the one with the access card? ergo, the thief? huh. she didn't take her for the type. ]

[antietam]

I don't... think so. Unless somehow the message is supposed to show her name. But it could have been deliberate on the killer's part.

[bloodteller]

What do you mean? [ give her a second... ] That the killer is making it look like Emily took everything? [ she shakes her head. ] But that's a long shot, isn't it? No one would forget to fake something like this.

[ not that she sounds convinced, really. ]

[thatbites]

So? No evidence says just that. It doesn't mean anything. Maybe some of that shit was there because they actually did it, you know?

[antietam]

I was just making sure we know all the evidence. There's no need to get so defensive.

For the record, I don't think you're unobservant enough to forget to plant something against yourself.

[thatbites]

I'm not defensive. I'm just stating my case. That's the point of these trials, yeah? [Moving on from that...] And duh. It's an obvious ploy to make me stand out in a totally different way. It's not like I have anything to my name that just screams 'Emily' like special brooches or whatever.
