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.

[ 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.

[bloodteller]

[ WHAT DOES THE HAND WAVING MEAN, DAVE? at least judar isn't cosplaying goth princess jasmine, i guess, oh my god? ]

I-- on the top of the murder.

[ THAT THING ]

I think you should consider why it is someone would see fire and not run away. If it were you, I think you'd move, right? And not grab a book. [ ... probably. ] Just, um. Consider that.

[parodeity]

[ IT MEANS HE SUBTLY AND MASTERFULLY DODGED HER QUESTION ABOUT HITTING ON HER??????? obviously ]

I mean, if it were me I'd go check it out. But the reason not to run away...is that you're the one who set it? Isn't that the simplest answer?

[bloodteller]

If I set fire in the archives, I wouldn't want to get caught. So I'd run anyway, all the way back to my room. But Arumat wasn't running, Marinette saw him walking.

...You're Detective Fuck Up Number 1 so I think you'll get it, though.

[parodeity]

[ DON'T HAVE SUCH FAITH IN HIM, HE CAN'T PULL ANOTHER LUMINOL HAMMER MOMENT BECAUSE LUCY IS STARING AT THE SCREEN SCREAMING QUIETLY ]

...I mean...okay. [ but he has to try because ugh he has to ] Arumat probably isn't the kind of guy who would set fire to shit and just leave it after trying to cover it up, I guess? Because I don't think any of us actually give a shit about him setting some mpreg books on fire? So...

[ ...what even are the options here. dave starts counting shit off on his fingers since it's not like they have any real ideas here ]

Option one, he did the fire himself since fire magic. But that leaves "why the fuck would he do it and then not say anything to Marinette?" which we have no good reason for. Option two is that somethin' else caused the fire and he covered it up for some reason, but...jesus fuck why even? Arumat was always pretty open about shit he discovered?

[bloodteller]

[ it's too late yuno believes in dave whole heartedly shouldn't have called her your number 2 ]

I actually don't think we should set anything on fire here, just in case Alice loses power again. [ just... saying... ] But I think you're thinking too inside the box, Dave.

[ SHE'S BEING CRYPTIC dave has to have the cool aha moment he can do it... ] If you get it wrong, then you're demoted to number 2, and you'll have to call me your number 1. I'm warning you!

[parodeity]

I'm ok with that? I'm not really a leader type anyway.

[ HE'S NOT A HERO, dave strider problems 101 but. ok. clearly yuno has a theory and dave needs to aha the theory but. ]

Outside the box. Ok. Jesus I wish Rose were here. [ his sister is an annoying know it all and she'd know something about this? ]

Maybe the dude was destroying whatever book was misplaced between the two books, idk.

[bloodteller]

Who's Rose.

[ wow that was very quickly said but anyway...

look dave she is not going to be feeding you her theory so clearly the next option here is: ] What size shirt do you wear?

[ ??????? ]

[parodeity]

My twin sister. She's mad smart.

[ don't tell her he said that, tho. ]

Uh, large? Why, do you need a shirt or something?

[bloodteller]

[ oh okay, sister. checks out fine. ]

You're going to hit on me and offer me your clothes in one night? [ thats further than yukki's gotten. damn ] What do they say... slow your roll, hot stuff?

[parodeity]

[ his lesbian sister even

BUT GOOD LORD YUNO ]

Ok, one, that is the correct slang yes and even though holy shit why I will affirm you there because slang needs to be more common here, what the fuck. Two, I couldn't think of another reason you needed to know, okay!

[bloodteller]

It's not really a need to know kind of thing. I could have guessed, but I thought asking would be better.

[ she totally deserved that... even if she's... pouting.... what a child ]

[parodeity]

So just, like, curious? Ok.

[ SHRUGS. he'll probably answer anything anyone asks him it just came out of nowhere so he was like ??? is it relevant]
