WEEK 0: TRIAL

[dropoffs]

WEEK 0 TRIAL     45 CREW ACTIVE

 

ALL CREW MEMBERS, PLEASE REPORT TO THE CONFERENCE HALL AT 1200 HOURS. REPEAT, ALL CREW MEMBERS REPORT TO THE CONFERENCE HALL AT 1200 HOURS.

I.R.I.S. SYSTEMS ARE UPDATING TO ALLOW SHIP AND CONCOURSE-WIDE ACCESS AT THIS TIME IN PREPARATION FOR INVESTIGATION AND RESOLUTION OF THE EVENTS FROM THURSDAY EVENING AND FRIDAY MORNING.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION.

Good morning, junior crew. With the heavy news of last night carrying into Saturday morning, things are incredibly quiet around the CSS Eudora. You may carry on with your personal business during the morning, but come 11:00, a soothing voice will cut into the air and announce that at 12:00 everyone must report to "the Conference Hall." Strange, however, that it's not on the map.

Never fear, your I.R.I.S. will automatically project a small beam of warm, orange light on the ground, directing you towards a large gated lift that has risen from the floor by the mess hall. Come 11:50, if you aren't on the lift, you will certainly find yourself moving there physically whether you intend it or not. The lift is capable of carrying every occupant of the Eudora to a sublevel that leads towards the mentioned Conference Hall.

The enormous hall opens up past two large, double doors with the word EUDORA printed over it. Within, a lengthy monitor sprawls across the entirety of it, displaying Thursday night's victims profiles along with a large map of the Eudora herself. With plush, dark seats in rows and a long table at the head of the room where four members of your senior crew await, it is clear what exactly this space is for, especially as the words TRIAL IN SESSION appear on the monitor and an ominous-looking countdown:
09:00:00

DE̶ÇO͝MḾIƧ̸S͢IO̵ИED͞

Welcome to your first trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Dahut's murder. Characters will have time to examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations.

There will be a mod-tag break between 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST to 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

Finally, we have a voting page for characters to vote on the culprit! Please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST, unless you've spoken with the mods previously, as we'll begin tallying votes on the dot. Voting is mandatory for Spacecoast, acting as our weekly activity check in this game.

Good luck!

Placement might just be a bit of a coincidence, in that case.

[mansplains]

Hey, Kazuki.... I know it's dumb, but we're just trying to be thorough. I'd really appreciate it if you let him look.

SIM ROOM #2

[dropoffs]

[ Hello, we are here. Upon walking in, the gravity is on. No floating for us, sad.

The simulation opens to and open space and lies ahead a dirt path that leads into to a modest forest. There are some nondescript derelict stone structures, but most importantly there is a BLOOD trail trickled along the dirt path all the way into the forest.

Callisto... Does not want to be here, is the vibe, but not in the way they don't want to work. They're just unsettled. ]

We have to be careful as we follow the path.

[dropoffs]

[ the same brown orange as our code aesthetic. ]

[dropoffs]

[ ok





temenos finds a ducking severed leg in the ducking blanket. +1 leg, yaaaaay.

As Yuri shoves her way through the numerous endless floating books aside, please roll another 1D20. But from what she can glimpse, yeah there's a couple of pillows scattered about, some fancy and elegant chair and couch set, vials, more books, a large desk, and did I mention books? This office is a gigantic mess and the gravity is not helping it.

Shu can attempt to take bread and.. i guess smear it with the red? Sure. When he peeks into the room, he sees the same thing Yuri does. It's an office that looks like a tornado hit. Some pillows, and not-so-nice looking moldy bread doing cartwheels in the back through the mass of books that barricade the way. Gonna have to float in further to get a closer look at anything. ]

[solesuccess]

[ hm... ]

That doesn't seem right. But the fact that it's there means something since it's pretty out of place. So we'll keep it in mind.

[rosebleed]

I don't know if they'd let us back in now. Perhaps it's best to confirm with the senior crew.

[bossbabygirl]

That would be a big help.

[dropoffs]

[ ... They are unsure about this, but all right. Without a word, they will open a portal for them to step through.

They unlock that sim room. ]

[dropoffs]

[ looking up from their work. the vibe is a very muted this is a choice... while glancing over at the other three. just an observation!

but they will go ahead and retrieve a screen for guy. it's a conference room so it's a simple, folding partition screen that stands on it own, no way to see through it. usually it's used to divide the room up. here i guess it will hide your naked bodies...... weird........ ]

Will this do?

[applebough]

Oh, um...

[ She looks over at Eunhyuk anxiously.

??? ]

[barriermaddened]

I acquired some company sweats, early in the week. I'm afraid those are brown orange instead of white.

[So, guess that it's not clothing from the supply shop]

[egodist]

[the mood becomes sort-of contemplative, though the irritation and that slow churning anger remain in the background]

Go ahead.

[his sleeve!! he'll shrug off the labcoat if she wants but he does have his shirt sleeve that can be pushed up

he has a bandage around his elbow area and then a few scabs on his forearm]

[roseoftexas]

[ fight fight fight fight ]

[mansplains]

[ it sure is!!! guy is embarrassed just asking but ]

Thank you. Really appreciate it.

[perfectpower]

...yeah, a little.

[He'll reach out to pat Kazuki on the shoulder.]

Stick by me, if you want. I'll shield you from the worst of it.

[Kazuki at least won't need to see the body anymore, if he's glanced in that direction already.]

[agamid]

It could be worthwhile, as we only have a limited amount available to us. But it would take much time to search all of our rooms. Perhaps we could ask everyone to retrieve their clothing...

[ but that would also be time consuming ]

It would be more helpful once we have narrowed down our suspects.

[dropoffs]

[ a firm nod. it's okay guy...... (is it?) it's okay....... ]

Thank you - for all the help. Let's keep at it best we can...

[barriermaddened]

[Thanks for the answer cool mods]

[egodist]

[as jan defeats the sandwich tie guessing game:]

It'd help if any of it made any sense.

[bossbabygirl]

[she will not comment about his hair eyes because that seems rude, who knows what type of eye situation whatever species he is has normally. besides, he's probably sensitive about those unlike his cool tattoos.]

[pyromance]

[ oh the color was confirmed here: brown orange! ]

[satisficing]

[He bends his head for Eunhyuk to rummage through. IT'S FLUFFY HEHE 😊 He probably needs a haircut.

Anyway, there aren't any injuries to his scalp, no flour residue, and he isn't missing any chunks of hair. He also doesn't flinch from anything. Well, unless Eunhyuk decides to punch his head in.

His hair does not smell like smoke or anything.]

[expiries]

[nodding at the last part]

Let's continue working on getting that far, then.

[baebladie]

[ He would frown but he is already frowning, and there is, probably unsurprisingly, a wave of prickliness. ]

...No.

[ No touching. ]
