WEEK 6

the pygmalion. . .

ONLINE




CAPTAIN'S LOG:
WEEK (6)

monday - thursday

(31) survivors


Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

(OOC: Please submit your murder proposals by 9 PM EST Tuesday.)

tacklefordwhimsy: This year sucked (Out with the old)

I did! Looks like I got a mean right hook. I wouldn't let a fear hold me down, definitely not!

[She helpfully illustrates her strength. Bam! Punch to the air!]

...it's depressing to think, but there's no other choice: we have to be getting ready for a murder trial. I just hope...this time it doesn't hurt as much as it did last time.

...

Does that make me selfish?
bloodbiter: (you do not fuck with a man that knows)

[a small smile]

You are fearsome indeed. May I ask who she was?

[and then the smile fades]

I would argue that there certainly is another choice, but... I do agree with you that another killing will most likely occur. [she shakes her head] I would never say it's selfish to hope that the people you care for survive.
tacklefordwhimsy: I think that is no good. (Are you sure)

[personal profile] tacklefordwhimsy 2016-07-14 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Shelley grins so proudly...]

It was myself. I defeated myself in a fair fight. Isn't that weirdly philosophical? Myself as my worst fear?

[And that's why she isn't affected very much by this week's motive! Okay, she actually defeated her past savage self at the last minute because of some quick thinking, but it isn't like Adelina will be told all the details]

Stay safe, Adelina. I want to see you walk out of this spaceship. Promise you will, alright?

bloodbiter: (it's like he's mesmerized by this)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-07-14 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I don't understand. You hit yourself in the face...?

[her eyes narrow a bit, but in confusion rather than anything else. she does give pause when shelley asks for that promise. especially this week, she doesn't want to guarantee anything she doesn't have complete control over, but she doesn't want to worry shelley, either.]

I promise you that I will do everything in my power to make that happen. You as well, yes?
tacklefordwhimsy: Hiding serums in inoffensive bottles (I have a plan)

[personal profile] tacklefordwhimsy 2016-07-14 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
It's a long story. One of those weird things that happen in my life happened, and I found myself getting told I had to fight my worst fear in order to survive. So I went forward, and there was another version of me. I think it was my dark half, or something like that.

[Half-truths abound! Shelley figured Adelina wouldn't really take it very well to hear that it was actually Shelley getting out of the afterlife after she was murdered...for the second time in a few years...and that it was either defeating that worst fear or having her soul erased, kinda.

Her life is pretty weird, yes]


Yes, I promise it. I'm not going to let myself get killed just like that.
bloodbiter: (you can lead a horse to water)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-07-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
You are afraid of yourself? Or were, I suppose. May I ask why...?

[even without the full explanation, it seems strange to her. she sounds concerned as well, though she does give a small smile.]

I'm glad to hear that. Let's both remain this determined.
tacklefordwhimsy: Otherwise we're screwed (Let's hope for a deal)

[personal profile] tacklefordwhimsy 2016-07-14 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Shelley looks away]

...to be honest...I don't know. It just happened, and I don't really understand yet why that was my fear. I suppose there are dark sides of me I don't know about yet...or something like that. It's weird.

[It's hard to talk about it]
bloodbiter: (control your body fluids)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-07-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think that's true. Everyone has negative qualities, but I would hardly think any part of you could be described as dark.
tacklefordwhimsy: That one has amazing pecs (Those are some impressive worms)

[personal profile] tacklefordwhimsy 2016-07-14 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that feels flattering. Shelley smiles]

It's for things like this that people like to talk to you, Adelina, you have that honest quality people appreciate. Come on, leave that cell.
bloodbiter: (remember to feed yourself and stay hot)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-07-19 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[she hesitates, because this feels like it's hinting at something she doesn't want to talk about, but]

I... I apologize, but the nature of the visions I've been having makes the idea of being around many people rather unappealing.
