WEEK 5 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (5)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (32) 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.

Right. I've never actually seen one in person until I was brought here.

[todorable]

Good! Finally, someone who's normal. So you wouldn't be able to headshot some actual real human, right? And there's no reason you'd go by the pool, right? That cape'd probably take forever to dry, and we had breakfast to eat!

[continuing as the worst lawyer]

[mnasthai]

Normal? [ Shaking his head.] No I wouldn't be able to, isn't that hard to do?

[ Just nodding along to the rest.]

And we didn't even find a body or evidence this week. [ Which he is thrilled abut to be honest.]

[todorable]

Yeah, it's super tough, which all the crazy murder people here might forget about but that doesn't make it less true!

[this is it, this is your stunning defense. he is ready to move to japanifornia right now]

And that's completely true, all we found was oatmeal, so there's absolutely no reason for you to be on the suspect list!

[mnasthai]

[ Who knew Totty was Phoenix Wright!]

The oatmeal wasn't bad, but it was a bit bland. I think the only reason I was chosen was because of Alice after all.

[todorable]

That's discrimination. Even delinquents deserve second chances! You've gotta figure out who did it and pin it on them!

[mnasthai]

[ He smiles, feeling a little bit better after all this lawyeresque talk.]

You're right.

Right now the evidence doesn't seem to implicate anyone, but I do find it strange that Hancock was in the pool around the time of the murder.

[todorable]

[that's why lawyers do it!]

Yeah... I mean, I get picking an earlier time for privacy, and it's sure not like I wanna see his zombie dong, ultra gross, BTW. But why not go at night, when there'd definitely be no one to hassle you? Lots of people work out in the mornings. Though, wasn't Iron Bull supposed to be in the gym at basically the same time as the murder? Not that I imagine him shooting anyone...

[mnasthai]

[ Kazuma does not honestly know how to react to half of that, so he's just...not going to comment on it.]

Wouldn't that make it a good way for him to kill someone? Everyone would think that he would kill someone in a very physical manner.

[todorable]

Yeah... I guess it would. And he claims to be a spy, even if he doesn't wear suits. But they don't even have selfies where they're from, how would he know what a gun was?

I guess there's the girls to consider, too...

[mnasthai]

I think his world is similar to mine. [ Also selfie-less!] But the last trial involved guns, so it's possible he's learned about them here.

They haven't really been questioned yet, so that's true as well.

[todorable]

Ugh, I kinda wish this would stop happening. Why can't we just have normal weekends for once!

[mnasthai]

I think last weekend is the only break we're going to get...

[todorable]

Ugh... The one week of "freedom," and we were locked up the whole time. This place is the worst.
