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!

[pathematic]

[he will not resist, whether or not she decides to take the tool. he will let it happen!!]

[naeddre]

[she takes the tool.]

You didn't do it on purpose, did you.

[pathematic]

[blankly]

I'm sorry.

[naeddre]

...

[grabs his face with her hand, holds his chin to try and get him to look at her. stares, for a long moment. and then lets go and shoves his face to the side to let whoever tie him up.]

[inquired]

[ temenos is putting himself between eunhyuk and throné, immediately. not like a shield - more like a curtain. he doesn't expect either of them to do anything, frankly. it's protective for a different reason entirely. ]

... Make sure you put your vote in, Throné.

[naeddre]

I did.

[she says, flat, cold. her eyes don't leave eunhyuk.]

[inquired]

[ you know, he's been a part of a lot of - like, a lot of dramatic murder confessions. like. a lot. but someone bleeding all over him and it turning out like this is a new one.

... he's just keeping himself between them, for now. ]

The truth lies in the flame. [ murmured. ] We will question him tonight, to the best of his ability and ours.

[naeddre]

[she murmurs something only he can hear, but she doesn't move.]

[inquired]

[ a headshake, and a quiet murmur back. if she'll let him, he's going to ease her back a few steps. ]

[naeddre]

[she'll let him! that's fine. she's not letting go of her knife, though. emotional support knife.]

[rosebleed]

[After she's had her moment with Temenos Rosamund will pad close. She won't say anything and she won't reach for her, but she'll try to catch her eye.]

[naeddre]

[she meets rosamund's gaze! hello. there's nothing going on behind them throné eyeballs right now. mii music.]

[rosebleed]

[Okay then she's going to tentatively reach for her hand.]

Throné. I think it's time to leave.

[inquired]

[ glances over.... ]

...yes.

[naeddre]

[she doesn't hold it in return but she's fine with rosamund holding it. she looks back over at eunhyuk as he gets golf carted.]

Alright.

[rosebleed]

[That's more than she expected honestly.

And she'll lead her off to somewhere quiet, probably with Temenos in tow.]

[polliwog]

[ ... ]

[barriermaddened]

Will you at least say what happened?

[Things to ask at 9:00 PM, apparently]
