WEEK 6 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (6)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (29) 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.

[she has no idea what an appropriate way to react to any of this is, so she'll just dive in to the questions.]

...You waited an entire night before seeking medical attention?

[refactor]

Yeah. Obviously? Because it's such a good idea to go wandering around on a Thursday night, bleeding. That's just like broadcasting "hey, already got stabbed once, you wanna get lucky and get in your easy murder"?

[ He scoffs pretty angrily, then sits back in his chair. ]

Wasn't the first time I'd been stabbed, kiddo. I knew it wasn't going to kill me. Just hurt like a goddamn bitch.

[bloodbiter]

I suppose that's a fair point. There was nobody you could go to for assistance in reaching the medical bay unharmed?

[glancing over at rhys...]

Also, if I may ask... What are you going to do to him?

[refactor]

Y'know, considering the dude that just stabbed me was the guy that friggin' works for me? No. No there wasn't. Nooooot real big on trust immediately after that.

[ He scoffs, then crosses his arms ]

Should shoot him in his goddamn head. But I'm a man of my word. He finds the mask? He doesn't need to worry about it.

[bloodbiter]

I wasn't aware you two knew each other that well. How did he manage to do such a thing? He seems very...

[trails off, but the "he's a huge wuss" sentiment is probably obvious]

You wouldn't retaliate against him for stabbing you if he returns the item that he stole from you in the first place?

[refactor]

Oh, trust me, I know what he seems like, and that why I let him into my goddamn room. I didn't think he was going to stab me! Didn't think he had it in him. Christ.

[ Every time he remembers, he just gets mad again, so this is going to be an endless loop. ]

But no. I won't. Only because if I did, my ass would be on the line here, and that's why I didn't kill him in the first place. Because, seriously, now that I'm thinking about it, you think I'd set up all this shit and then not kill the person that stabbed me? That makes no sense.
