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.

Hey, congrats. On spending the night with your ladyfriend, not being a suspect. Unless the whole "dangerous guy" vibe is secretly your thing?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Nope. I'm as safe as can be. [a beat because oh god what did he just say] Because. I'm a superhero. Not because of anything else?

[SOUND MORE SURE OF YOURSELF]

[todorable]

Hey, it's important to be safe.

Speaking of. You guys haven't been crawling around the vents any more recently, have you?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

No, we haven't. I... should probably steer clear of vents, anyway.

[lest he be tempted to try to break another one]

[todorable]

Now that you've got the little woman to take care of?

[despite fully knowing she can more than take care of herself; perhaps this is an invitation to expand on that statement...or just to be a teasing jerk, either way]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

...No, that's not it.

[he's just going to. leave it at that without explaining tho because listen he is in enough trouble rn]

[todorable]

Mysterious, mysterious~

You weren't mixed up in all that craziness the other day, were you?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

On Thursday? No. I went to help as soon as I heard the announcement, but we slept through whatever happened before that.

[todorable]

Sounds like that was for the best. Seems like everything's been awful enough.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

...Yeah. Still, I wish I could've helped.

[maybe jason wouldn't be a pirate]

[todorable]

Fortunately...or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, you'll likely get another chance.

[missmaladroite]

I can take care of myself and him.

[LISTEN!!!! LISTEN!!! She obviously wears the bugpants]

[todorable]

[as well she should!]

Hey, no arguments there. Congrats, by the way. On the joint patrol, as it was.

[missmaladroite]

We always patrol together. There's--- no need to make a big deal of it.

[look at that she's blushing]

[todorable]

[so adorable, he can't even be jealous he can, because matsunos are trash people, but he is making an effort]

It's not always so--extended, is it?

[missmaladroite]

We're just... making extra sure.... We don't want anyone else to get hurt!

[Ugh!! UGH!!]

[todorable]

There's nothing wrong with any of that.

[and then, because someone is

You guys didn't see anything weird going on Thursday? Anyone wandering around who usually isn't, or whatever?

[missmaladroite]

Our search didn't turn up much. We should have split up more.....
