CAPTAIN'S LOG:
WEEK (8)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE

(22) 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.

[what are you doing, Luke]

[Ladybug crouches down to peer at him in his blanketnest. There's still time to almost get her killed!]


Luke? What are you doing?
chiseler: (and no one even knew)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-07-31 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[But if he almost got her killed now what would be left for tomorrow? Still, he looks up at her and for a moment his expression's very blank like he's having a hard time registering who he's talking to. He blinks and it suddenly clicks and he grins lightly.]

Getting comfortable I guess. Or about as comfortable as you can get when we're having yet another sleepover with a corpse of a friend. [His shoulders are tense and he's keeping another blanket loosely draped around him, but he doesn't seem to be moving anytime soon. ...but it's Ladybug. He likes her and even with everything happening he's been lowkey watching over the kids even if he hasn't been participating.] Need something?
missmaladroite: (🐞 placeholder 16)

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Listen, there's always time to almost get her murdered!! No matter which day.]

[In any case, Ladybug quirks an eyebrow at his blank expression, obviously concerned, but]


Well, that looks pretty comfortable, actually. I was wondering if I could join you.
chiseler: (get a second wind)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-07-31 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[And here he raises an eyebrow. Child, what are you doing...]

Can't promise there's anything exciting happening. And what about Chat? Figured you two would want more time together. [...but fine, he's nudging the opening of the fort a little wider so she can join him for a little bit. (Frankly he's also curious what she might have found in his room. So maybe there's an ulterior motive, whatever.)]
missmaladroite: (🐞 placeholder 4)

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'll get back to him shortly. [Or: he'll come over here to threesome, which is more likely.]

[It's true that she's curious about what she saw, but she's mostly just concerned, and for the amount of moping and sulking she's done, she's trying to make up for it now by checking in on those not doing so well.]

[She scooches in]


Besides, all the movies are terrible. [THEY MAKE HER MISS HER PARENTS :(]
chiseler: (living a cliche)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-07-31 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Goddamn furries. But that would also be fine. Once she's in the blanket fort he drops the opening and reveals that he does, in fact, have a tablet and he's been pretty disenchanted with the selection of movies too even if it's not for the same reason.]

When aren't the movies terrible? Alice's selections leave much to be desired if you ask me. [He scratches the back of his head.] Been a while since I've actually watched a movie though before coming to this place.

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
I just think it's in particularly poor taste today. [someone doesn't appreciate mpreg!!!!]

[No, she's just really homesick and she doesn't want to think about it. She's never been separated from her parents for this long, even if she is a Strong Independent Superhero]


Not much of a movie fan?
chiseler: (bottle rockets and celebrate)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-07-31 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
You're probably not wrong. [There's a sharp grin, a more Luke-like grin as he fiddles around on the tablet to see if there's anything else worthy.]

I wouldn't say I'm not much of a fan, but I've just never really had time for them you know? We didn't have a lot of stuff like that at Camp, either. I saw a couple the few times I left for field trips or whatever but that wasn't too recently.
missmaladroite: (🐞 placeholder 11)

[personal profile] missmaladroite 2016-07-31 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, I even wonder if she's really a machine, with the things she does. [That's... progress?]

How much time did you spend at, er, Camp? [did you not have a house, Luke??]
chiseler: (ain't it beautiful? so unusual)

[personal profile] chiseler 2016-07-31 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Has anybody tried asking her? I've never thought of it, but I'm also not too up to date on most machines like her either.

[He's looking at the tablet solely so he doesn't have to look at her when she asks.] Got there when I was about fourteen, spent a full five years there before I left. It was home.

[Sur...prise?]
