WEEK 0: TRIAL

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!

I don't disagree about that...

[she's still giving off very displeased vibes, but when she nods, there's a brief spike of gratitude.]

...then we'll figure it out.

How many people should go at a time, if we want to prioritize speed?

[alt title for toplevel: what the hell is virche evermore

scien's here! he's still a fucking mess! clothes in disarray, hair braided by some kind individual but already falling out of it because he's a creacher, expression wary like he hasn't gotten much sleep because he hasn't. he's actually in the middle of staring down eunhyuk like he's evaluating him, but then moves on. also his emotions are back to some level of neutral, except for this slow growing sense of anger that builds, builds, builds until it reaches a point that it's hard to think—stalls. disappears.

and then starts again. apparently rage doesn't die.

outwardly, his demeanor is the same]


If you touch the body, I'll knock you out myself. In case you've been living under a rock, Dahut and I are Relivers. I'm only mentioning details relevant to what could affect his physical condition. Relivers are bodies that exist outside the rules of biology, where the primary difference is the heart in the human also serves as our memory bank. [taps over his chest]

Relivers cannot process emotions the way that humans can. The basics, we can feel, but strong emotions like hatred, despair, rage, regret, love—those can overwhelm our memory bank. For those who saw Dahut early in the week when we first felt all your emotions and he was panicking like a fool about it, it's because he altered his own memory bank in his research to increase capacity but probably removed the safety limiter. [which is probably the exact thing that's keeping scien from overheating in rage like an old laptop]

That said, he was fine for the duration of lockdown. No health concerns, no anomalies. Maybe that changed after we all saw Luke [he can get name privileges since he's dead] collapse in front of us and everyone's chaotic emotions slammed him. I'm performing the autopsy to find out.

Also, it needs to be burned upon completion of this trial.

I want to know how they proved that. They obviously already have information we don't.

[that's so valid it's just a horrible jumble of names]

... We apparently have nothing to investigate about Luke. [which makes a little burst of sorrow settle in her general area but don't pay attention to that.] So... we'll need to find out what happened with Dahut.

I would say that counts.

Well, as long as you weren't fully alone during a time of distress.

No. I told Kazuki yesterday I didn't even know anybody was in the lounge because everything was silent.
