CAPTAIN'S LOG:
WEEK (8)

saturday TRIAL DAY TWO

(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 they would use a book for...? They already had plenty of other more effective weapons.

Lemme see that.

[i hate this i hate everything cappy save me

but okay, the spine has it worst, the bottom is pretty badly scorched too; how bad's the front cover in comparison?

[I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT YOU'LL HAVE TO GO ON WITHOUT ME]

This is a weird way for a book to be burned, isn't it? Like...if it was facedown, it might make sense for the front to be in better shape, but not for just the spine to get the worst burning...
bloodbiter: (ah fuck i'm being schnoogered)

I was wondering if they were aiming to hit him with the spine... That might explain his broken wrist, if they swung hard enough. And then he used his magic while they aimed for him?
socloverit: (do that dance smokin' in the girl's room)

From that close up, it'd be more likely to just burn it to smithereens, wouldn't it? It's just a book.
bloodbiter: (shove a candy cane down my dickhole)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2016-07-31 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true.

[hm.]

If he were knocked down and was trying to shoot fireballs at the killer to delay them, perhaps they picked up the book while they were some distance away from him, and that's why it didn't burn up completely.

A broken wrist would make it difficult to fight back, particularly if it's the hand you prefer.

Assuming the spine did do it, you'd still have to get in close enough to break it.

He could have singed the book while they were on their way towards him with the book in hand, couldn't he?

Likely so, if they were wearing the protective suit then. Otherwise they'd have a lot more to be worried about. [ like having burn marks all over them. and being on fire too. ] Either way, if he was still conscious then you'd have to do the job fairly quickly.
