WEEK 7 - Trial

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (7)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (24) 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.

Uh, yeah. Have you seen how long it is? Plus I gotta work magic on it and all.

[YEAH HE JUST ADMITS THAT LIKE IT'S NOT THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING IN THE WORLD]

[chiseler]

And what kind of magic goes into making sure your hair's all in order? [Tell him about your magic bro, that's all he wants out of this.]

[douchemag]

It's just a simple inflation spell. You didn't think this was natural, did you?

[i'm getting secondhand embarrassment from these tags jfc]

[thatbites]

[She can't ignore that.]

You're joking, right? You choose to look like that?

[douchemag]

Screw you, I look great. [no he doesn't literally the only decent thing about his appearance is his 100% flawless eyeshadow skills] Plus the spell makes my hair a lot less heavy. [so why don't you just cut it off jackass!!]

[thatbites]

No you don't. [Yeah, she's just saying that bluntly. Haha.] It looks like you taped balloons to your head and I don't even want to consider the split ends.

[douchemag]

Do too. [are we five now]

Uh, I don't have split ends. You're free to check for yourself. Bet you've got more than I do.

[thatbites]

No way I'm getting close to that mess. You'd be better off just chopping it off.

[Yeah... They sure are five now.]

[douchemag]

Sounds like you're just jealous. Or scared I'll be seeing your own split ends.

[thatbites]

As if. My hair is actually perfect without having to resort to magic.

[What happened to her life where she just accepts that magic is a real thing meanwhile.]

[douchemag]

[i mean it's literally the only explanation for his hairstyle]

If by perfect, you mean boring.

[thatbites]

There's elegance to something simple not like I expect you to know something so basic. Everything about you is so extra.

[douchemag]

Your face is extra.

[he doesn't even know what that means but whatever!! he doesn't care enough to put in effort for an actual insult!!]

[thatbites]

[Wow. Emily raises an eyebrow, shrugs, and turns away from the apparent literal child. She's totally counting this as a won fight.]

[chiseler]

[Sorry in between that answer and Judar's argument with Emily Luke's busy cracking up to the point he can't quite ask a question with a straight face.]

No. Why would I think something like that? [Oh gods why.] Is that different than your gravity magic or is it all one in the same?

[douchemag]

[Honestly, he doesn't mind the laughter. At least Luke isn't outright insulting his fabulous(ly terrible) hair!!]

It's a different spell, but it's just a minor one. I can't do anything else with it.

[because it's so stupid that i forgot to put it on his card whoops....]

[chiseler]

[Judar how are you real. How is any of this real???]

Kinda thought so. Can you explain a little how the gravity thing works then?

[douchemag]

It's just simple levitation and manipulating the push and pull of gravity. Pretty much any mage is capable of flying, but anything else takes more effort.

[chiseler]

Don't tell me you can only use it on yourself. What about other items? That counts, doesn't it?

[douchemag]

Gravity's not my specialization. Back home I could with enough effort, but it doesn't work here aside from flight.

[chiseler]

Maybe that's a good thing. Thanks Judar, that's all I've got. [Even. If. He's sort of just staring at his hair now. This is still bizarre why.]
