WEEK 1: TRIAL

[dropoffs]

WEEK 1 TRIAL     43 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 an enormous lift stationed by the mess hall. Come 11:50, if you aren't on the lift, you will certianly 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 ramp 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 second trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Viktor'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!

[dropoffs]

[ Adrastea is seated on the table itself, on the side facing the Junior Crew, with one leg crossed over the other knee. They've replaced their usual jacket with a similar one that's draped over their shoulders this time, sitting straight despite the casual position. The glow inside of their helmet is a little more dim today, but they seem no less alert as they track each movement of the conference hall while petting... a black loaf? (See further down.)

Amalthea is serving tea to all of the senior crew, but there are enough cups to go around for anyone who would like some. For our bean juice enjoyers, coffee is available with an assortment of creamers and milks (including alternatives). There is a single different cup and in there is a matcha latte with a label "Ms. Encino" plastered along it (Siz may not be here in trial today, but it is here for autopilot Margaret). For most, if not all of trial, they stay standing with hands clasped frontward. Watchful as ever.

Metis sits at the table, angling themselves to face the direction of the Junior Crew but will occasionally check in with Adrastea while offering quiet chatter to Amalthea and Thebe both. For the most part they're sitting straight, though can be seen favoring their right side a little as they keep their right arm beneath the table a bit on their lap and their left arm on the table surface. If you come by, they'll offer one of the various snacks they have set on the table. Though no emotes show on their visor, the air around them is solemn with hints of exhaustion based on their body language.

Thebe is entering with the box of neatly arranged bandages from outside the medical bay, setting them down at the end of their table for general use by the group. During the proceedings, they can be found sitting as straight as they possibly can in their chair while working on what looks to be a prepared template to track the reports as they come in while also remaining in communique with a gold dot, a purple dot, a green dot, and a yellow dot. A black cat, who has followed in at their feet, hops up onto the table to loaf quietly and watch with bright blue eyes. ]

[uncoincidental]

[they enter, and haze immediately alights from sheba's shoulder to go float over toward thebe and their black cat.]

...oh - I guess Haze would like to stay with you for now? Is that okay?

[dropoffs]

[ oh... thebe looks up. ]

Hey, Sheba... hey there, Haze... yeah of course. We can keep an eye on your friend.

[ son doesn't seem to mind, his tail swishing and an eye turning to haze, but otherwise unbothered. we are Acquainted. ]

Let's get this done...

[naeddre]

[comes to see metis for a second - she looks very, very tired.]

... Is your arm alright?

[dropoffs]

[ They try to sit straighter when she approaches but winces as they do. Slightly adjusts. ]

It is. [ ... ] That is, it'll be alright.

[ A head tilt, noting that tiredness. ] Amalthea has tea if you wish for a cup, a means to help pick you up a little.

[teenrebellion]

[ croaks out to adrastea ]

Io-san helped you, right?

[ thebe and kitty also get a wave ]

[dropoffs]

They did. [ adrastea stops petting the loaf for a moment to pay attention specifically to kazuki. ] I'll be fine.

Take some of Amalthea's tea throughout the day, for your throat.

[inquired]

[ to adrastea!! temenos is hobbling over with his staff... ]

Should we expect the same proceedings as last week? [ and. a pause.

... ] ... Perhaps, also, do you happen to have any medication for pain that would be available to us...?

[ 15 hp remaining ]

[dropoffs]

The Eudora's locked in for it, so I would say so.

[ looks... at him, his everything, and slides off the table to go rummage in the box thebe has brought, coming over to give him a bottle of extra strength pain pills. gib. ]

Once this is over with, go back to the medbay once Io's able to open it back up, would you?

[messy]

[brings two hyenas over to the npcs. please watch these two water bottles so she doesn't come back to a very hungry pet locked up in her room after nine hours of trial? :pleading_face: she'll talk to whoever makes eye contact with her, like a pokemon npc.]

Feels like we should've taken our chances with the blood orgy...

[dropoffs]

[ thebe is here just vibing with sheba's haze djinni and son, the black cat. they will look at the babies and nod.

flatly, and a bit tired: ]

You know, I'm really weighing my hands about it at this point.

[ but yes you may leave your water bottles. feeds them some cheese. ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ peeking at what thebe's doing... also hello cat ]

So we have to vote for someone again?

[dropoffs]

[ son yawns a little and blinks at anise, tail curling upwards a bit. hihi. ]

Yeah. After all the investigation's been done and we've all had time to go over it, we will have to vote.

[solesuccess]

[ well. he will take a cup of tea from amalthea and he holds out a hand for the black cat to sniff while acknowledging the other three with a short nod, but it's metis he's talking to. ]

No chances of getting more than nine hours still?

[drymonster]

[ comes over on his crutches to grab a coffee... then realizes he has to try to carry a cup of coffee on crutches and looks so tired.

also he's looking at adrastea's replacement jacket like oops ]

Oh... I guess I still have your jacket. Sorry.

[thematics]

[ taking some coffee from amalthea. ]

Again, huh?

[bladeward]

[ he walks kosmo over here, after which the space wolf goes directly to the black cat. fwiend... ]

Mind if I leave him here with you all? Not much he can do in this form.

[ this is to all four of them, but he does looks towards thebe, since that's where the cat is. ]

[psynchroneyes]

[ Nodding once at Adrastea to catch their attention, though Mizuki curiously passes a glance to The Loaf. ]

Hey. Gany mentioned last night you checked security—did you find anything that could help us out here?

[agamid]

[ he's cozy. addresses amalthea, i guess! 😳 ]

Do you have any information about the hostile that was identified yesterday? Was it apprehended?

[frotag]

[ coming by to grab some snacks... hewwo metis. also nancy is here on his shoulder today. ]

I feel like you're gonna need a lot more of these for today.

[riverbeans]

[for anyone who wants to answer as he also glances at loaf]

... So, what's the likelihood that whoever gets sent to the brig this time meets the same fate as Scien?

[applebough]

[ hi adrastea

yuri is here, anxiously fiddling with a river bean in her hands ]

... Is it possible to look into whether the personal bedrooms are somehow unlocked during lockdown?

Any of you

[rosebleed]

Hello there! Senior Crew!

[Little wave.]

May we please have a privacy screen so no one has to feel uncomfortable undressing? It would be greatly appreciated.

[pathematic]

[to adrastea]

Hello. Can I examine Nodd in his and Rodya's room?

[are they allowed to leave the premises]

[naeddre]

[any of you]

A question. Would someone be able to use the medical pods during the night on Thursday? And would it heal them completely? Or would it leave behind marks?
