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!

[rosamund lets go of scien, and sheba lets go of her arm. her own feelings are full of turmoil, but she's trying so, so hard to tamp down on them and exude calm to try to keep from escalating the situation further. she's not entirely successful at it, but she's trying.]

...thank you. I'm sorry.

Fine. Fine!

[SHE IS LISTENING TO REASON. She just can't believe it. She can't.]

[ it's something... they can crank it up to like 20% chill. everyone else has reasoned with her already, so he'll spare her the lecture. ] True enough.

[ . . . he smiles, expression softening. the emotions are complicated, and they still aren't formulating quite right - but there are traces of gratitude, regret, and this deep, deep wariness though its target is unclear]

I'll pay for what I was made to to do to Dahut when I meet him in Hades. Thank you, for caring about him.

Watch yourselves. This won't be the end.

[help so many concerned friends.

She allows it now because she's been talked down a bit, but she quickly pulls out of his grip. Her jaw is clenched tight.]

[Don't worry Guy you don't have to sully your hands with the forbidden cooties, she has been ushered off. She makes brief eye contact with him though, brimming with rage.]

...

[ Okay. Okay. He's good—maybe? Probably. Not mentally bsod'ing, at least. Mizuki allows him another minute or so, first. ]

Let's get out of here.

[She's bristling, but she's not completely unwilling to hear it.]

How could that matter? How could me getting scraped up matter in the light of everything that happened here?

[ listening to scien...watching him slowly disappear through the floor...and just nodding. yeah. he's not even waiting for her before he moves to leave. let's go. ]

[THE SMILE? NOT THE SMILE???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OHHHHHHH GOD I HATE IT HERE ANYWAY]

I'd like to talk to you later.

[This is perhaps less easy to hear than the other pleas for her to stop, but oh well. The damage is done, and she's come off as a fool in every way.

Stupid of her to make a scene. She barely knew this man.]


...

[She simply turns away, not one word offered.]

[assuming this is shortly after being shooed away]

...How can what happened to him be mercy? That boy was massacred.

[shrug.]

... An overload of emotion shuts them down like that. I'd call that a mercy, but. [she heard what scien said, so...] You'll have to ask him what happened. He's the only one who can give you an answer.

[Having been convinced to stop bitchslapping this man, she at least lends half an ear to this sage wisdom.]

It's just not fair. How can I...

[She trails off, shaking her head.]

I don't know why I should. Someone else should question him. I don't want to look at him.

It matters because, as you can see, you getting injured would have brought pain to several others here as well. You're righteous in wanting explanations, but if this had ended in you suffering...

[It's likely this would have escalated greatly]
rosebleed: @magicratfingers on tumblr (035)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-03-03 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
...Don't be.

[Her lips press tight together.]

He just...he has to explain himself. That's all.

[And she turns to walk away.]
rosebleed: @polarsirens on tumblr (040)

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-03-03 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
It was just so cruel. I knew he wasn't a saint, but this is...even for mercy.

[Her chin wobbles. It's a fraught stew bubbling within her. The anger is there, as is the slash of heartbreak. More of an ideal than anything.

And disappointment. Self loathing.

She shakes her head and removes herself from Throné's company. She made a mess of things when no more mess should have ever been made.]

[Having been shooed off sufficiently, she only shares a heated stare with Charles. It's silly, but she hates him a little too. He put it all together, and she was too stupid to connect anything.

Rosamund leaves without speaking to another soul.]

It's okay, Temenos. I appreciate it regardless.

[personal profile] rosebleed 2024-03-03 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

Well, nothing happened. He can't do anything, and he can't say anything. It's over.
