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.

[Oh for fuck's sake.]

I did it.

You really think a mage could strangle Arumat? If you want answers, I can tell you how.

[thatbites]

What?

[Emily sounds so... incredulous.]

After all of that?

[qundercover]

There's more to it. Don't really need to explain myself but if you want answers, you're going to have to get specific.

[antietam]

[ He'll just be staring as Bull explains. ]

[qundercover]

[ He didn't think about the baby. ]

[muties]

... Ok, that's fine, I already guess voted for you.

[ lays head on table lets everyone else ask wtf bull ]

I mean, I'm very disappointed bc you're a cool guy but.

[parodeity]

Uh, same here tbh. I'm curious about the library scorch mark things, but. My vote was already you, sorry dude.

[missmaladroite]

[or they were working together and if one of them dies the other one's going to take it]

[but she's staring straight at him]

[bloodbiter]

[well

at least he told everyone but also]

...I don't want to know how. I want to know why.

[qundercover]

My secret wasn't exactly about a pun getting spoiled, you know.

I had a choice. One person, or my entire people.

[antagonize]

What the fuck?

[what the fuck what the FUCK]

You couldn't have said that yesterday?! Or are you only saying this now because your fuck buddy's life is on the line?

[qundercover]

It's not exactly an easy decision to pack it in and get killed by demons.

[todorable]

...Really? We cut a man open and now his guts are on the floor and you're just like "yeah I did it lol"!?

[erythristic]

...Bull...?

[look at her in her eyes. show her you aren't lying about this.]

[qundercover]

[He does. He doesn't seem as if he's lying.]

Grell.

[chiseler]

Were you waiting in Arumat's room when he came back?

[qundercover]

Killed him in the archives - snuck up behind him with the garrote. Says "spy" on my card, you know. Weird how that just got ignored.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Why?

[that's his first immediate reflex]

[refactor]

I mean, good choices for method, all things considered.

[ He's biased though. ]

How'd you manage to get the one-up long enough to strangle him, cupcake?

[qundercover]

You think they send me out in the field without training? Been at this 30 years, fighting the best Tevinter has to offer. I know how to sneak up on a mage.

[baptizer]

Are you trying to save Dorian, Bull? Or did you truly do it?

[erythristic]

...there's a way to see if he's telling the truth, but it may kill him anyway.

[why not tell Liz too. she already threw it out at Bull the Betrayer.]

[qundercover]

Both can be true. He didn't do the job.

[tevinteriscoming]

Aren't you a show off? Waiting for the most dramatic moment.

[He means to say it teasingly, but.]

[breakshot]

At least tell us why.

[ Bull? THAT WAS HIS FRIEND??? ]
