WEEK 3 - TRIAL DAY TWO

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (3)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (34) 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.

Maybe.

{ Why not just be brutally honest like him. Saves you some trouble or makes a lot of it.

He gestures for Lavi to come with him, if only to stand further away from the others. There's not much time he has left to spend with him, and he's pissed that this even happened. However, he'd be a fool to blame the male for it.

If Lavi won't follow, though, he won't bother to move from his spot. }

...Is that about your status as a Bookman you'd mentioned earlier?

{ ... }

And, at that time, what was Allen trying to do? Before everything went to hell.

[booklore]

[ A secret talk? He takes a quick look around to see if, somehow, his presence will be missed. It doesn't seem like it so he follows Arumat without much trouble.

At the comment about Bookmen, he smiles but avoids commenting. ]

You asked me over here to figure out what Allen was up to? [ Huh. ] He was burying a couple of things out of respect for the dead.

[thanatosincarnate]

Hm.

{ He just loathes the idea of people eavesdropping closely on any of his conversations. He's had enough of it with that gods damned AI who is able to listen in no matter where someone is. }

Obviously that's not all. Soon you'll be dead and that will be it.

{ He had a few questions to ask admittedly, but Arumat doesn't try too hard to pry into people's personal business because in the end it doesn't matter too much to him. Except Arumat's a shitty smalltalker, so there's that.

He may have also been thinking of continuing Allen's tradition, but he doesn't know if it's worth it. }

[booklore]

That's what happens when someone dies. [ "Lavi" will die in obscurity just like anyone else. The name won't leave much of an impression and, in time, it'll be forgotten completely.

No one here will ever know who he truly was, or that he didn't even have a name. Nor will they realize just how many lies he's told during this trial.

He scratches at his cheek. ] I don't know what else you want me to say, Allen wasn't doing anything else.

[thanatosincarnate]

You don't think I know this?

{ Why does he care? Why does it matter? The other male made a mistake and that was it, even if it were accidental. Lavi will join his friend in death and rest in peace.

He remembered when people were talking about executing the both of them. Arumat hadn't been angry just for Machias' sake.

Maybe he should just leave it at that. }

...That's all.
