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

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!

[psynchroneyes]

[uncoincidental]

I want to go investigate the food court. Who's coming with me?

[verminous]

-yeah, seems like we maybe oughta knock that one out. I'll go if you need company.

[messy]

[gazes at the notif from yesterday.]

I get the feelin' you'll need someone who can fight to tag along with you.

[polliwog]

There's possibly a hostile force there, be sure to go in armed.

[sexyasmieu]

Whoever's going should be ready for danger. And make sure to keep us updated, or we'll all get really worried!

[pathematic]

[hands her gloves and masks she and her crew can use!!!]

Here. Be careful.

[teenrebellion]

Don't do anything stupid.

[bladeward]

[ joining this train of be carefuls ]

Stay vigilante out there.

[naeddre]

[fit check. looking sad and mourning, with dark circles under her eyes, but still fly]

... I'd like to examine his body.

[discomfort]

Please go ahead.

[solesuccess]

A few of us were talking yesterday and sort of figured you should be the one to do it if you want.

[inquired]

[ here and hovering. unfortunately he is not in a cool fit but he is here. ]

[rosebleed]

[Whispering:]

If you need help in any way, or you need someone else to step in, say the word. Okay?

[pathematic]

[this is so fly

eunhyuk is unfortunately back in flannel... look it's comfy,]

...Thank you, Throné.

[polliwog]

[ LOOKING FLY!!! he's grateful to her but also remembering what bad shape dahut's body was in. ]

...Good luck, Throné. And be kind to yourself if you need assistance.

For public confirmation, Scien gave some details on how lockdown was like on Thursday night, when he was awake. Might not be relevant here, but might as well:

The kitchen was open to him, even though he didn't normally have access, and knives aren't locked to that area at that time.

[discomfort]

So not having a weapon normally means nothing then.

[rosebleed]

Oh. Well, I suppose that could either narrow things down or widen more possibilities...

[teenrebellion]

I was right?

[ whoa ]

[solesuccess]

Which implies that anything can be used and moved at any time during those hours. [ so that's not promising. but thanks for the update, he's just adding it to his notes he's typing up on i.r.i.s. ]

[thematics]

So we have one less way of narrowing things down.

[ better than thinking things work different than they actually do, though. ]

[sexyasmieu]

Oh... so people can just walk in and take something to stab somebody with.

But if they did, I wonder if the galley would be locked down like the other rooms we're investigating...

[inquired]

[ jk pazu asked the same question as me ]

Hmmm. I don't suppose there were hidden kitchens in the food court.

[murdergate]

[ once things are underway. nodd--fit check--has had his one idea for the day and will be sharing it. ]

If there's a curfew next week, we should all go to the lounge--or somewhere big enough. The same spot.
