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!

Wait, hang on, "Shackles" sounds more RPG-like.

[inequals]

Ichi...

[frotag]

I'm right though, aren't I? "Enchanted shackles" sounds way more legit than "enchanted handcuffs."

[inquired]

They are simply called handcuffs.

[frotag]

It's about the vibe you get when you hear it, Tem. The flavor text.

[inquired]

I will take your word for it.

[ . . . ]

Should you not be going for the alliteration then?


[ shackles of no shitting ]

[drymonster]

[ shackles of shitlessness... ]

[inequals]

[ Why is it getting more debuff-like every time. ]

[frotag]

[ this whole conversation is a raidwide debuff ]

[inequals]

[ ]

[messy]

[927 debuff stack...]

[frotag]

But the "p" sound of "pooping" gives it a pop! It hits your ears with more of an impact.

[inequals]

Ichi?

[ Makes a zip motion with her hand. ]

[frotag]

[ ... he heels. ]

Right. My bad.

[discomfort]

[ at this point he just starts rustling under his blanket until his hand pops out and he just starts fuckin smoking

like. enough. ]

[barriermaddened]

Mr. Kasuga, some things don't warrant as much thought as you're giving them.

[Geez, man]

[frotag]

[ bows his head ]

Heard, Jingu-san.

[inquired]

The finer details of language can be discussed at a later point.

[inequals]

[ Legitimately considering if her serving time in Arkham would've been more fun if they called them shackles the entire time. ]

[frotag]

Uh, Rocchan...?

[inequals]

Hm?

[ Looking up at him. As much as I have been shitposting for the vibes and also my sanity, she is not smiling. ]

[frotag]

...Nothing. You just looked a little spacey for a sec there.

[inequals]

Mmph. Ha.

Did I?

[frotag]

[ ... ]

Nah. Maybe all this stuff is finally getting to me. Want me to grab you a snack while I get some water?

[inequals]

A snack sounds great. I'm thinking of going out real quick, just wanna move around, you know? But I'll take it when I come back, if you don't get back by then.
