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.

So, he... pinched at it? Are we sure he couldn't have like. Picked up from the floor, like say if it was dropped before the murder?

[parodeity]

I'm with mom, that's a weird way to grab somethin' in a fight.

[muties]

Yeah, like. Wouldn't you grab it with your hold hand if you're flailing? Thumb and finger suggests more just, picking it up. Maybe to look at it or whatever.

[isodope]

In that case, she could have left it on the floor? To draw his attention over to where the robot would fall. It doesn't have bloody finger markings on it, so it has to be before he got crushed.

[parodeity]

Like a distraction? I'd buy that explanation, sure.

[bloodbiter]

In that case, it doesn't necessarily mean it was Tsukuyo's doing, does it? If he just happened to pick it up after it had been put there.

[thatbites]

If he did that the fingerprints would have been bloody, right?

[Since he was... writing bloody messages and everything.]

[bloodbiter]

No, I mean... Isn't it possible he came in and picked the kunai up, then placed it back down before being killed?

[isodope]

Why would he just put it back down? I think it's more likely he picked it up and then got crushed, so it fell out of his hand when he got rammed into the ground.

[bloodbiter]

Wouldn't it have been possible to drop it in alarm if he saw a robot falling towards him?

[thatbites]

Picked it up... and put it back down on the ground. Okay. There's a whole lot of tables around he could have put it on instead.

[Will this trial be anything but semantics?]

[bloodbiter]

If he saw a robot falling towards him, wouldn't it be possible he dropped it in alarm? Then it wouldn't have been in his hand when he died, and that might explain why it wasn't found with blood on it.

[douchemag]

Maybe he did grab at it, and the rest of the prints got wiped off when someone decided to try cutting themselves with it.

[he's not pointing fingers here but you know who you are]

[parodeity]

...Dude, why do we always stab ourselves and or corpses.

[douchemag]

It makes things more interesting and gives us something to do other than yell at each other for two days straight?

I dunno about you, but stabbing myself would probably be less painful at this point.

[parodeity]

Eh. I kind of just endeavour to encourage people to find their inner chill.

But most of y'all seem to be missing that quality...you're actually legit usually chill?

[ LIKE. WEIRDLY. JUDAR IS LESS LIKELY TO FLIP HIS SHIT mostly because he seems lazy ]

[douchemag]

[he just doesn't care enough to bother tbh, watch him lose his chill immediately at videogames and disney movies]

That's because compared to the shit I usually see back home, a couple of people killing each other is basically a drop in the ocean. Plus we don't have to solve mysteries there.

[parodeity]

I'm pretty sure most of us don't do weekly murder mysteries back home. For good reason.

[ fuck murder mysteries ]

[douchemag]

Right? I don't see how this is supposed to help find the smartest and strongest people here, or whatever Ass Lice said the reason we're playing is. If a country wants to start a war, they don't bother hiding it and blaming some other country for the attack, they just do it!

[parodeity]

It's probably a sad commentary on my life how comforting I find your dedication to openly and honestly attacking entire countries.

[douchemag]

No, it just means you're actually pretty cool and not super boring like most people are.

Besides, I'm a magi - making sure the country of my chosen king is the strongest and most powerful in the world's my job. [this is not even remotely true but ehhh]

[muties]

'Cause we're idiots.

[parodeity]

I mean, agreed.

[breakshot]

Unless he'd been caught off guard? There's always that possibility.

[parodeity]

Or the distraction thing, but...yeah.
