WEEK TWO - Trial Day Two

[al2955]

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

sunday TRIAL DAY TWO (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.

...I mean, not exactly, but pretty close, yeah.

[ He'll at least let the personal definitions of "normal" go, because that is an interesting detail. ]

Could, but just thinking about it, there's not exactly something popping out to me that's really tied to height. I mean- [ He pauses, then shakes his head ] Gait of the footsteps maybe, but considering they'd all be the same, doesn't exactly help us. I mean, hell, them all being the same doesn't exactly help us either unless we're talking a difference of an inch being crucial.

Try taking the universal key card into account, then. Fiona, Elizabeth, Todd, and Tsukuyo all had items stolen from them, right? What if the reason they were chosen is because they fit some sort of...measurement we haven't thought of yet? Is there something else that ties them together other than that? Because if not, maybe they were chosen deliberately.

[ Jack thinks on that for several moments with a low, thoughtful hum, but eventually, he sits forward. Something seems to dawn on him, and he pulls out his datapad to start to work on something. Do they have floor layouts on their datapads they do now if only so I can draw a picture... Or Jack sits there and draws the picture himself. Whatever. ]

Could just be convenience. I mean, we're talking a really short window here. So—

[ He turns his datapad around to show a picture: ]



Save for Emily, who is kinda the odd one out anyways, they're all pretty clustered together, and all close to the office.

[hanging nearby since jack was kind enough to let us all know what was going on]

Speaking of why these guys were picked...what about the bloody note? I didn't really notice it until you wrote it on the map, but all the suspects have initials that have squared-off angles like the note.

[refactor]

Yeah, gonna guess that's probably also why they were picked. Seems reasonable to me, at least?

[ Jack is about to think on it more aloud, but luckily, Elizabeth is wondering the same things ]

[todorable]

Yeah... Though the guy's handwriting really isn't very good, honestly...

--Also, didn't they find his bloody clothes? Meaning unless he was naked, [shit he wasn't naked, right?] the culprit had to go to the victim's room too, right? So maybe you should mark that as well.
