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.

Fingerprinting

[toprotecttheworld]

We're going to have to do this once, so we might as well start talking about it now.

We need to check the kunai for Raleigh's fingerprints! The suspect, any suspect, was wearing gloves, so we need to check for anything he might have touched before he died! The item was found close to his hand, and we can't expect to find prints on the sleeve or the boots.

Who's with me?

[deformity]

That sounds good, miss. I don't think any of us [ well, most of them, really ] are professional killers, so it's very possible the killer was panicking and could have missed something.

[bloodbiter]

Yes, I think that would be wise. Are you experienced with doing such things?

[thanatosincarnate]

It should be done -- go ahead with it.

{ It's the only way they'll find out, right? }

[socloverit]

Okay, but...if there aren't any of his prints there, where do we go from there?

[toprotecttheworld]

Hmph! We'll figure it out, of course! That's the only thing we can do!

[socloverit]

[EYE ROLL OF THE CENTURY]

Then I'm completely against this! Our two possible results are getting something that might implicate Tsukuyo, ignoring the possibility that the killer left the kunai beforehand or while Raleigh was still twitching and he touched it then, or getting nothing and then we aren't any closer to solving it than we were before. This kit is too good to waste on a chance like that.

[isodope]

Hey, so, just so you know? The AI said the kit won't be usable after this trial. It'll go back "home" or what the fuck ever. So we can't save it for a rainy day.

[socloverit]

Seriously? Ugh, that's so stupid. [Clover is that person who hoards all her items in rpgs through and past endgame apparently.]

Hmph. Then I guess if no one has any better ideas, this is fine.

[toprotecttheworld]

[WELL

I didn't see this tag

so I guess Jessie is using it right in front of Clover, kind of like someone is trying to open a Nonary Door without her permission

or

something]

[socloverit]

[UGH SHE RESCINDED WHEN SHE REALIZED THEY COULDN'T HOARD IT!!! ladies is this really the time to be petty

apparently it is because she's rolling her eyes, making a hmph noise, and making a display of turning away from the fingerprinting to gossip with Light about something entirely unrelated

Clover there is a murder trial going on, please]

[isodope]

I agree. We don't know if we can keep the kit or not, and the killer must have slipped up somewhere. Maybe we can't find their prints, but Raleigh is a good angle to go from.

[toprotecttheworld]

It has three sets of prints!

Tsukuyo's. Rhys'. And Raleigh's.

[Pretend this says four if Marinette's or smth gets added in.]

[isodope]

Well, shit. If Raleigh's are on there, that makes it really unlikely that it was just planted. He might have pulled it off her if the idea is he fell before the robot got crushed on top of him.

[toprotecttheworld]

Do you think this is enough?

[Enough to save Elizabeth.]

I don't know why I'm having to do all the heavy evidence lifting around here.

[isodope]

It feels like something decisive. There's no reason his fingerprint should be on it when he could barely move his arm after being crushed. That means he touched it before that happened.

[locktouching]

I'm definitely with you.

[Totally didn't spin a lewd tone onto that little phrase. Nope. Okay maybe.]
