WEEK 7 - Trial Day Two

[al2955]

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

sunday TRIAL DAY TWO (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.

[yikes.]

...Why?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...Erin, my sister...

[Four people in the device, the last one being of the only person Shelley needed to talk with]

...I need to save her. If the device could get to where she is, then it means...there really is a way I can get her out of Hell...

[Hell does explain the bone throne!]

[bloodbiter]

Would she have wanted you to murder an innocent woman to accomplish that?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...I don't know. I don't remember very well the kind of person she was. All I have is these memories that were once gone and now they're here, and I...

[Sigh]

...I...I don't know. Really.

[bloodbiter]

...I thought that you would be better than this.

[but she can't bring herself to be that angry. she can't say with certainty that she would do anything differently in that situation.]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...

[She did fear she had a dark side, Adelina!]

[bloodbiter]

There's nothing else you want to say?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...nothing else. Let's just...leave it at this...

...I don't deserve anything. Please just...be disappointed hate me and let's get done with it.

...just stay alive no matter what.

[bloodbiter]

...I don't hate you. I can't even say I would do differently if I were put into your situation.

[a pause.]

But, I can't apologize for what we have to do, either. All the same, I hope it is painless and swift.

[erythristic]

...you didn't have to lie to my face. You could have said that there was someone in there you valued.

[she's not mad, just disappointed. even though she would have done the same thing.]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I guess once I killed someone and had to try to keep a straight face while all this happened...one lie more didn't seem like much.

[She buries her nails on her arms]

[hatslinger]

... I get why you did it. If I'm being honest, I thought about it for the same reason.

[ she had never talked to shelley, really, but she gets this. she really does. it's the first one she gets entirely. she'll put a hand on her shoulder, tentative. enjoy that 4 fingered hand, shelley. ]

I don't blame you. But we have to do what we have to do.
