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.

Vent Racing

[missmaladroite]

So, we have a map of the vents now. Since we know the killer [and also VentRhys, fuck that guy] used them to get around - I think we should have a test. We can have our suspects [EXCEPT FOR ADRIEN WHO DID NOTHING WRONG???] and some non-suspects race through it, to help set up a timeline of when they were used and how long it would have taken the killer to get around.

I, um, can volunteer as a non-suspect.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...if it weren't because it's to find out who is a killer that'd be kind of fun.

From where will we go? The kitchen vent?

[missmaladroite]

I... think it's a good idea to get an idea of where they lead and how to get around. And to make sure it isn't used to hurt people again.

Yes-- I think so.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Okay, let's see...

[In the kitchen! Alright, the vent is there, Shelley is here on the floor...she looks upwards pathetically]

I think I'm going to need some help here.

[missmaladroite]

[you have time, she has to go transform!!!]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Sounds like a plan.

[SHE DIDN'T MEAN YOU, ADRIEN]

[missmaladroite]

You don't have to go, Adrien! Since you aren't a real suspect.

[MARINETTE PLEASE]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[...marinette, please]

Wow, then that guy they got the picture of on there has a striking resemblance to me.

[missmaladroite]

You know what I mean! You're innocent!

[douchemag]

Do you really need all of us to do this? I mean, if you're going, that should be good enough. It's not like we can't fake being slow.

[no shove him into a fucking vent do it DO IT]

[missmaladroite]

Maybe I should go behind you to make sure you aren't faking it?

[you're not getting out of this father Judar]

[douchemag]

How would you even know if I wasn't faking it? Besides, then you'd have to go through it twice. Or four times, since you have to make sure no one else is faking it either.

[missmaladroite]

I could stand behind you and jab you to make sure you aren't taking your time.

[she doesn't seem to mind running around in the vents]

[antagonize]

Or we could have each of them go one at a time and ask Alice to time them. So there would be less, y'know, traffic.

[Does Marinette really want her bf in the vents with a conga line of people......]

[missmaladroite]

It's worth asking.

[but Marinette also doesn't want her bf to go alone........] But we need a way to make sure they don't fake their time.

[antagonize]

True. But they could fake their time even if they were accompanied or not. Getting rid of the traffic would at least prevent other variables from affecting the timing. Like, say, idiots who are allergic to vents.

[Just let him go alone....... What's the worst that could happen...........]

[missmaladroite]

Not if I stand behind them and jab them if they move too slowly!

[this is only half a joke]

[mostly directed at Judar]

What's the best way to narrow down the times, then?

[thatbites]

I'm not going to crawl around in those vents.

[She SAW what was in there. You didn't smell the ROTTING FLESH. Fight her.]

[missmaladroite]

Oh? So you're okay with looking suspicious because you refuse to cooperate in the investigation?

[don't be a shit, Marinette]

[thatbites]

If refusing to enter those deathtraps make me suspicious then the rest of you are paranoid. What kind of psychos sentence a girl to death because she refused to run a marathon?

[HUFF.]

[missmaladroite]

Nice try. But I said I'd go up in the vents with you. [the 14 y/o furry wouldn't let you die, okay] We're trying to narrow down the suspects, and if you're not willing to help clear your name, we can't help you.

[erythristic]

Race along what route, exactly?

[because if someone was in the vents, what direction did they take, and how did no one else hear their escape aside from Arumat and Luke?]

[breakshot]

I don't think I'll be much help there, unfortunately. [ #ventgate why ] But if you need someone to help time it, I can go fetch a tablet.

[ it's fine he timed adrien and clover's high heel race for shits and giggles. ]

... Of course, it looks like we might already have some issues finding some willing volunteers. [ cough... ]

[missmaladroite]

Of course. Don't strain yourself.

I can handle that part.
