WEEK 8 - Trial Day Two

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE 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.

Since volume 12 was burnt too, he obviously threw the fireball when it was on the shelf...but yeah, I'm comin' up blank as to why. It's not like there could have been a person hiding behind the shelf, right?

[bloodteller]

[ wow when did yuno get here haha That's So Weird ]

Is it really impossible, though? Someone else brought up the theory of an accomplice, didn't they? And there's two pairs up there.

[parodeity]

[ dave is used to people ninjaing up at him so he just turns slightly to talk to her. ]

Was this one of the shelves not up against the wall, then? [ HE'S NOT CLEAR ON WHERE THE BOOKS ARE IN THE ARCHIVES...because he barely ever goes there. ] But even if someone were there, he was spotted walking back with a book later, right? If he'd fireball'd at someone, I assume he would have been, like, more concerned or something?

[ is her hair different and stuff idk ]

[bloodteller]

[ IT IS grell put her hair in two braids that meet in the back for one big mega conglomerate braid ]

Yeah. I would think he would be, but he wasn't. Walking quickly doesn't indicate anything was wrong, but he had the book then, didn't he? Maybe we just need to think about that a little bit more...

[parodeity]

The answer's gonna end up bein' somethin' real obvious and we're all going to kick ourselves later.

[ he sounds wry but. HE'S PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE CASE. ]

But I just keep coming back to "it wasn't something he felt he had to alert people about", you know? Since he was spotted by other people, and probably saw them.

[ ok ok that is a fancy ass braid dave tugs the end of it ]

Nice hairdo, btw.

[bloodteller]

That's what bothering me, though. If something was wrong by then, he would have said something.

[ ...she was going to go further with that, but the tug on her hair stops her, she... wasn't actually expecting a comment on it, MUCH LESS FROM DAVE, but hey ]

...Thanks. Grell did it for me last night. Are you sure you want to hit on me in a room full of people, though?

[ she can roll with it ]

[muties]

[ intense smiling and shipping over here in the mom corner she can get behind yuno/dave yes good ]

[parodeity]

[ he was going to respond to the first part but chokes on air at the second part don't call him out on stuff??? WHAT IF ROXY HEARD. to date only like three people on board the ship have seen dave get flustered and it's all been one-on-one mostly so this is the first time in a public setting he chokes on air and starts going red.

and frantically scans the area to see if roxy heard. ]

What, I. What.

[muties]

[ yes did you miss the intense shipping over in the mom corner

softly sings ] Caaaan you feel the looove tonight...

[erythristic]

[can the moms ship this in peace together, please]

[parodeity]

[ dave feels the interrogation in his future and sighs ]

[douchemag]

[Hm. He's not sure if he ships this or not yet.]

She's got a point. We don't need another sickeningly cute teenage couple flirting with each other, keep that shit private. [He pauses.] Not too private, though. Yuno's too young for that business.

[and yet he makes fun of Adrien and Marinette for not banging??? LISTEN IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN IT'S HIS NOT SISTER]

[parodeity]

[ dude, he gave you clothes, why you gotta hit betray

dave holds up his hands in surrender ]

So the relevant info in that statement is that you think we're both cute, right.

[ ........and cracks a joke because yeah ]

[douchemag]

[WHAT THE FUCK HOW DID THIS TURN INTO HIM GETTING DOXXED IN ONE SENTENCE???]

I never said that! Sickening, I said sickening!

[parodeity]

[ TALENT ]

Sickeningly cute. Hey, Yuno, did ya hear, Judar thinks we're adorbs.

[ he grins. ]

It's ok, man, I know I'm pretty.

[bloodteller]

I heard, but I don't think there's a "we"?

[ c'mon dave, aren't you better at this usually ]

[muties]

Judar, shut up, don't ruin this.

[ she has been hoping for dave to find love for two goddamn months let them be cute ]

... Unless it's cause you're jealous? [ does judar want to bang dave. or bang yuno. or both? ]

[douchemag]

I'm not ruining anything, I'm just saying it's already painful enough having to be stuck in a tiny room forced to listen to one couple awkwardly flirt. They can do it outside of the trials, I don't care.

[BUT THEN HE'S SQUAWKING INDIGNANTLY no??? how did this backfire on him so badly]

Solomon's ass, fuck no! I'm not a creep!

[muties]

Why do you hate love?

[ LAUGHING TBH... ]

How would that be creepy? You're 12, not 30.

[bloodteller]

I said if you're going to hit on me, I'm not sure the conference room is the place to do it. At least, not when people are watching. But if you like having an audience, that's your prerogative, I think.

[ there's a corpse on the other side of the room??? but who cares, i guess. teens. ]

[parodeity]

[ YUNO???? roxy heard you ROXY IS SHIPPING IT dave flaps a hand at yuno in a hand gesture that is...vague as fuck what does that mean even dave. ]

Oh my god, no, uh - [ this is the LAST TIME he compliments anyone's hair on murder trial day. (it's probably not, he says whatever comes to mind) ] Ok, got it, keep all hitting on people out of the trial room, roger that captain, moving on to a new topic doesn't Judar look good in his new duds?

[bloodteller]

So you were hitting on me? [ SHE WAS TEASING?? OH MY GOD? THIS BACKFIRED? ]

Y, yeah, Judar looks good. Did you do that?

[parodeity]

[ MORE HAND WAVING ]

Yep, totally me, picked out the stuff and lent it to him and everything.

[ let's talk about the other topic ]

It's not like I don't have extra jeans and shit in my wardrobe, so.

[socloverit]

[yeah whatever yuno's a fuckin weirdo news at 11]

Sooo... Maybe there's someone hiding behind the shelf, one thing leads to another and fire happens, Arumat heads back to his room where someone else is already there waiting for him...

That still leaves a lot of questions, though.

[bloodteller]

[ you know she was going to completely disregard clover but then she remembers that liz told her to watch after clover... god. ]

If a fire caught in front of Arumat, why would he walk back to his room? A quick walk is still a walk. I... We're really missing something here, I think.
