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.

... I know there's no evidence, but they can't just take us at our word, my Lady.

[what the fuck is in her room that he missed for her to act like that??? weird????]

They should know you'd never kill anyone. And if you had an alien inside of you, I would have known.

[she's being completely rational here!!!!]

Did you like french kiss him or somethin'?

WHAT?! [her voice just jumped three octaves]

T-That's none of your business!

[ laughing quietly to himself tbh ]

This-- This isn't funny! [Stop laughing at her????] Someone died! We need to focus on that!

[no she's just saying that because she's tomato red]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I know it sure as fuck wasn't mom. She wouldn't fuckin' risk ditchin' me for a bullshit motive like this one.

[ they'll meet up with the others whenever they meet up with them, and telling them they're in a murder game wouldn't do jack shit. ]

[A subject change!! yeah she's leaping on that]

Of course not. Or Shelley. It has to be one of those other two.

[Emily and Judar are suspicious: because Marinette doesn't like them]

(no subject)

Actually, it might help his alibi.

[ okay probably not BUT YUNO IS HERE TO PICK ON HER FELLOW YAN ]

He doesn't need one! He has no reason to kill anyone!

[stan a little harder, Marinette]

I don't actually know the difference between kissing and french kissing, but if it alters the time of his alibi, that could help eliminate him.

[ SHE IS SO BLATANTLY TEASING? sorry ]

Oh, is that how you tell? We might have saved ourselves a lot of trouble.

Guess we better check everyone real fast? Maybe Marinette could give us some tips.

[ dave...stop teasing marinette??????????????????

(but it's helping calm his nerves re: the entire suspect list) ]

Yes, we ought to divvy up the suspects. Though Marinette said not to get the wrong idea, so perhaps someone else would prefer to check Adrien?

[ dorian quietly skyrockets to favorite male adult simply by joking around. ]

Damn, you do have a point there. Guess she wouldn't want to help us out with this super important project.

Will you guys just all -- stop!

[WHY IS THIS HER LIFE]

Am I on trial for murder, or my love life?

[SMH!!!]

Dude, it's obviously the latter.

Which way do I plead for it to stop?

The way in which you actually give your best bro deets about your hypothetical love life, obv.

[ DAVE YOU COULD HAVE JUST ASKED ]

[adrien don't look so lovestruck at marinette's irrational stubbornness you dumb teenager]

They're just making sure, after last week. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

[and he grabs her hand and kisses it because Of Course]

[SHE'S A LITTLE MOLLIFIED and blushy but it's not enough to calm her]

They don't have to go through my room..... they should know you wouldn't kill anyone!

[wow what's this is that an excuse to keep holding her hand wow look at that he just does it. he keeps holding her hand.]

The way you're insisting, I might start to think you're more worried about your room than you are me.

[look she's not going to stop him!! Holding hands is good, yes]

It's not that! You know I'm not going to let them execute you! You didn't do anything wrong!

[Marinette fails to realize that even Adrien is teasing her now]

[stop doxxing her]

[he laughs and squeezes her hand]

You're cute when you're flustered.

[ah]
