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!

Wouldn't it be better if people just stayed in their respective rooms when lockdown happens?

[inequals]

Hey, that's what I said last night!

[ Not that she wanted to be proven right in this way. ]

[applebough]

It would make it easier for us, and even if there are rogues who insist on staying out, we could... narrow it down.

[ Since death is inevitable now, apparently. ]

[teenrebellion]

Does it really make any easier? If nothing's locked, they can still go anywhere they want.

[applebough]

Even our bedrooms?

[ oh.

don't like that. ]

[agamid]

[ walks into yuri's bedroom to see eunyuri...................... that's what i would do on thursday ]

[inequals]

[ get the fuck outta here voyeur ]

[agamid]

[ our friendship is so over ]

[inequals]

[ Deedee... if only we got handcuffed shackled in the bathroom together on curfew... this would've fixed everything... ]

[agamid]

[ you'll never catch him in a bathroom again mark my words ]

[applebough]

[ GESTURES TO SHOMA??? ]

[teenrebellion]

...I don't know if we have a way to confirm that or not without being awake. But if whatever's keeping the knives in the galley isn't working after we fall asleep, it might make sense if none of the other locks work then, too.

[applebough]

[ yuri suddenly seems super anxious ]

[teenrebellion]

[ sorry yuri :pensive: ]

[riverbeans]

[does yuri want a river bean now............... for the anxiety..................]

[applebough]

[ Sure. She will focus on this singular river bean instead of listening to everyone else's nonsense until the investigation crew returns.

And think about how to grow it in a pot. ]

[riverbeans]

[that's fair yuri deserves to just do that]

[inequals]

[ I misread this as 'and think about how to grow pot' and I was like jesus christ Yuri is REALLY going through it huh. ]

[inquired]

...you know, that does bring about another question. What happens with the rest of us who slept in the locations that were cordoned off?

You would think that we would bear some sort of damage from the ensuing chaos on these nights, and yet.

[teenrebellion]

I've been trying not to think about that.

[inquired]

It may better than the rest of the conversations occurring at the moment.

[teenrebellion]

[ this is true ]

I dunno. We don't know what even happened there, so maybe it was relatively contained...?

And Adrastea-san said the hostile was just a robot, so...

[polliwog]

It's strange how we all end up safely sleeping through the night. [ wouldn't it just be easier to kill. a sleeping person. awful. ] Though Scien was specifically targeting one person.

[agamid]

It could be a result of whatever overtakes the killer. I do not think they are behaving entirely rationally. We do not factor into the equation.

[inquired]

[ awful ]

Mm. Dion is correct, that the rationale does not matter - perhaps, our killer may have chosen to target Viktor, whether by their own choice or through coercion, and the rest of us were simply removed from the equation, somehow.

We are moved out of the locations in the morning, after all.
