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:

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!

SIM ROOM #2
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.
no subject
hm. well. he doesn't love that callisto seems to be this unnerved by this, but here we fucking go, he guesses. ]
Careful of messing it up, or...?
[ do they need to be on the alert for jumpscares....
how much blood does there appear to be in this trail? it says trickled, does that mean it looks like something bloody was carried through there rather than like, being dragged or dripping directly from a walking bleeding person? is it on the path itself or next to it? ]
no subject
[Could be just a random thing, really! But we're in a murdergame and we just like to do things in ways related to our characters -- not that I'd, like, leave someone's dismembered limbs in a recreation of Sora Jingu's office, haha.
Since there's a dirt path, it's a bit of a longshot, but it'll be easier to see around here that in the forest where there's bound to be leaves and detritus everywhere: could there be footprints around here?]
no subject
those are the vibes but outwardly he looks fine, faintly curious even if he keeps his hands in the pockets of the bomber jacket.
so anyway since todomatsu is checking the way the blood is trickled, and sora is checking for prints, shoma's just going to go ahead and start on the path. carefully. he's walking, following the blood trail as he goes. does it appear to get bigger or smaller? how far does the path seem to stretch? is there anything else noticeable on the path once he begins to walk further? ]
no subject
[ That's not very comforting.
Todomatsu will see that the blood is mostly on the path. There is a okay amount of blood and the trail does not look like it's something bloody being dragged. It is more... scattered on the pathway, similar to directly dripping from an object. The pattern makes it seem like whatever it is, it was not moving at a walking pace. It is faster.
It reads to me that Sora is thinking about prints, but she may be looking for them. There are no prints they can easily discern, but it does look like someone or something went this way.
Callisto is going to follow Shoma because apparently they deem the beginning area safe to leave Todomatsu and Sora for a little. The trail has some spots where there's more, but it's a semi-consistent pattern and stream along the path. The path doesn't stretch too far... If Shoma wanted to continue walking, he will see the end of the forest pretty quickly.
There are no signs that the forest itself is touched or tampered with. ]
no subject
he'll glance around the area to make sure it doesn't look like there's anything else worth investigating outside of the forest, and if not, he'll warily go forward to join shoma, keeping an eye out for any like, animal traps or anything that might be out here. ]
no subject
So, about those derelict stone structures, better to at least give a glance, if there's any near the trail. Anything on them? More blood, evidence, anything that might be of interest to take back to the trial room?]
no subject
...I'm gonna see if I can go ahead. I want to see if the blood heads out of the forest and where it ends up. [ which is what he's going to do. he's mostly walking to see if the forest ends in the sense that it leads to somewhere else, or if it ends in the sense the simulation is only contained to the forest. as he goes though, he's also checking for anything along the path that doesn't belong, making sure to follow the blood trail itself. ]
no subject
For Sora who stays at the beginning area, looking at the stone structures give nothing. They are just there. If she wanted to take pieces of it back, then I guess. Feel free to write her joining the rest and not need to wait for me to write her in.
Callisto is here and waits for Todomatsu to catch up, in which he's allowed to join Shoma following the trail and leaving the forest.
At the end of the forest, they see fields of black lycoris gently flowing to the gentle ocean breeze. Taste that salt in the air? Within sight and not too far of a distance, there is a lightly elevated cliffside. It looks like something is there, upright. The blood trail does lead into the field of dark flowers. ]
Careful.
[ The only way is through the flowers and I'm going to make you all roll. Let's go. ]
no subject
[ because he doesn't want to end up walking through this forest by himself lmao. anyway he hurries and catches up to callisto and shoma, and... looks out at the flowers. ]
...? Are they poisonous or something?
[ he will unroll his dumb pant cuffs to try to shield his legs from them in case they're like, poison ivy, idk, and verrrry tentatively step out. and somehow i rolled a 19???? ok then! ]
no subject
There might be holes hidden by the flowers. My, not a good time to be wearing heels.
[Sora sighs, following behind Todomatsu.
I rolled a two, which I think means the die are very biased against the ladies, seeing how Yuri also got bad luck in that other investigation thread]
no subject
...it's not real. [ he seems to be saying this more to himself than anyone, but into the field they go. he's trying to follow the trail, keeping his eyes on the ground and looking as he walks. i rolled a 16 so this is probably fine? but okay, we will also slowly head toward the cliff. ]
no subject
Sora... Unfortunately for her she fucks up some flowers, she will find herself going through PAIN. It starts with coughing, then her lungs feeling like they're have to w, and work extra hard she feels that she could black out if this goes on longer. Her vision is going, going... But then she feels the shock from her I.R.I.S. that snaps her back to focusing.
Callisto is there, with their datapad, having initiatid the shock, and going through the flower field.
Shoma is doing okay! He is careful with the flowers and he follows the trail. It will take him to the cliffside. There he finds an unmarked grave with a blank headstone. It has been disturbed. ]
no subject
Eh?! Jingu-san? Are you okay?
[ do you have really intense pollen allergies, what just happened????
i guess he'll pause briefly to wait for her as shoma goes toward the grave, but he'll also look at their current surroundings in the meantime — anything to note about the flowers themselves as far as appearance/scent go aside from their being ominous as fuck death flowers? is there anything else in this field if he looks at the ground between the flowers or is it just flower hell all the way down? ]
no subject
--fine. I'm fine. Don't concern yourself over me. Oh, I do wish I could levitate right now.
[But she can't, this room is not a zero gravity room right now, dang.
She steps out of the field, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand and blinking to try to get rid of the natural tears from the lack of breath, and looks around. This field of flowers probably was set to hinder, meaning there must be something around here. Todomatsu is noting the field of flowers itself, and Shoma is going to the cliff. Sora will instead try to see any other marks or locations of interests around here. What else might be worth checking?]
no subject
the grave is ominous as fuck actually, which means he is in fact walking up to it. he will crouch down and see how it's been disturbed? honestly if it looks like someone dug around it recently he's just going to start digging with his hands i'm sorry. i guess he will also see if there're any signs of footprints or blood at this grave.
what do we have... ]
no subject
Unfortunately for Sora, there's nothing she can investigate without going through the flower fields. After having her moment earlier, she's free to traverse carefully without harm and attend who she wishes to attend.
Callisto seeing the other two are fine will catch up with Shoma and help him dig and they will find... A coffin which Callisto will not wait to just break through with their bare hands. They collected... Jar?
There does seem to be signs people were here at the cliffside and there was blood toward the grave and nearby it. I forgot to put the large blood pool it is there, but it's there (correction: trail through the field goes to large blool, then small trail from blool to grave). ]
We collected the "body" here.
[ The large blool. ]
no subject
Shoma-kun, I'm heading down to the water! There's... something washing up there.
[ and he'll (carefully) hurry down to collect it. what is it. ]
no subject
no subject
but he looks at callisto for a moment, expression and emotions blank for a second. ]
So this was the resting place. [ ...he will just pause to take pictures with his iris if possible for the blood arrangements. and the flower field. just in case. more to the point he's looking at this coffin. the thing is, he has a really bad feeling as he kind of thinks about what this could mean given the trail of blood, the blool, and the smaller trail of blood from blool to grave.
i think callisto is holding jar in this case but he does want to try and take a look closer to see if he can identify if his theory is right or not. also checking if there are any bloody marks on the grave/coffin itself from someone closing it. ]
no subject
Pictures are fine. Shoma can hold the jar, but he can only discern... Jar. Then there were some blood like the coffin was closed, yes.
I'm going to have Callisto teleport you all out one at a time because they see that time is ticking. You're free. ]
