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.

[look if they're going to go through trash he might as well GO THROUGH EVERYTHING]

I don't-- I don't know. ["todd" sighs] I don't really know Todd or Elizabeth that much...

[what if he just ... looks... into the trash can. or compactor or thing. now that the trash has been emptied. is there anything in there?]

[al2955]

[Yeah they're pretty much sticking their head into trash for no reason, it's just trash.

Should have made Rhys do this.]

[parodeity]

[ EH. dave will

ok he is actually cleaning up dave is such a rebel ]

I've never talked to Todd, but the dude seems constantly stoned.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he is Helping clean up because might as well take any excuse to stay out]

He seems pretty... out there, yeah. Who do you think did it?

[parodeity]

Any of the girls sans Liz are up there. I'm honestly doubtin' she'd do the whole alarm schtick? I do not think her technologically backwards Thing is an act and I'm pretty sure she has yet to reach the level of competency where she'd chance everything on a murder involving it? Like, that seems risky as fuck?

[ so. he disqualified todd for being stoned as fuck and elizabeth for not being tech savvy enough.

dave neglects to mention who his top suspect is but shrug. ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[dave ur depressing...]

... We should try asking for motive. I'm sure they can lie, but--

[it's better than USELESSLY DIGGING THROUGH TRASH]

[parodeity]

Yeah.

[ ... ]

How much longer do you think we can drag out tidying this up because I am not about the roomstuck life.

[ THE TRUTH COMES OUT ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Until a robot comes to get us, probably, so... as long as that takes?

[slowly picks up a single thing and puts it in the trash. YEAH HE'S IN THERE TOO]

[parodeity]

[ THEY'RE SO PRODUCTIVE but honestly

honestly

dave is pretty sure that wasting like fifteen minutes outside of room hell will not allow the murderer to get away with murder

i mean if it does whoops but ]

We're just being nice considerate dudes by tidying up, really. Who could blame us?

[ everyone

everyone: guys wtf took so long checking out 1 bag of trash

blond teenage boys: idk we were just being thorough ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[puts the trash bag... one tiny trash at a time...]

It'd just be rude to leave all this trash hanging around. And we're just being really thorough.

[o3o]

[parodeity]

[ they're gonna get so scolded and/or people are marinette will have a heart attack over how long they're gone ]

My mom'll ground me if I don't behave, you know.

[ apparently

dave is like "ok mom" about that but ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[huffs out a laugh]

She'll send you to your corner of the room, even.

[parodeity]

Which is even more terriyin' than public AI shaming, of course.

[ ugh why does everyone want to give dave a hard time ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[mimicking the AI's voice]

"Dave has been a bad boy and won't get any desserts this week".

[parodeity]

Hey, you'd be missin' out on desserts too if this got us in trouble, you realize. You're my official accomplice here.

[ don't even joke about no cake!!!!!! ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I can just say you made me do it.

[who wouldn't believe this innocent face]
