WEEK 3: TRIAL

[dropoffs]

WEEK 3 TRIAL     36 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 fourth trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Margaret and Sora's murders. 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!

BODY CHECKS

[dropoffs]

[ stationed at the furthest end of the conference hall's stage appear to be autopsy tables brought from someplace else, where a box of sterile gloves have been set at the foot of each table.

if you are comparing something to one of the victims' bodies, please comment to their respective sub-toplevel. ]

MARGARET

[dropoffs]

[ on one autopsy table is a figure, where a white sheet has been respectfully laid across. ]

sunglasses check

[applebough]

[ hello she's just here to put sunglasses on margaret to see if these fit her too. ]

[dropoffs]

[ sure*

*this action may have consequences ]

[applebough]

[ i'm going to assume this is done after everyone else's check.

bring on the consequences. ]

[dropoffs]

[ Margaret's Corpse Will Remember That ]

[tombtaker]

[ hello margaret hows it going? bad it seems.

well we'll started with the big picture stuff: what's the general state happening here? does she have all of her parts and accessories (clothes)? ]

[dropoffs]

[ it's going rigor mortisly

the first thing to note is that she is in beautiful make up. it is unfortunately smudged around the eyes and nose area, however. she's wearing this outfit, though her feet are bare (kink...?) and, possibly more important than all of that (but what could be more important than Fashion?),

there is a hilt sticking out of her chest. ]

[tombtaker]

[ there is a moment where he has to pause and be like huh. maybe in another life i'd respect someone who wore their makeup like this. but not here and not now. looks terrible, marge.

well the hilt isn't going anywhere for the moment, so we'll start head to (bare) toe. he'll take a look at her head - in her hair, in her eyes, in her mouth and under her bangs. how is the makeup smudged, does it look just like from sweat or running or like it was rubbed off somehow? ]

[dropoffs]

[ the make up looks like it was smudged mostly on the bridge of her nose and the corner of her eyes there. the side of her head in a direct line to her ears is also smudged... the rest of the make up seems nice and unsmudged.

her eyes and mouth don't seem to have anything special about them. looking at her hair, her bangs and her hair around her left temple seem to be matted with something sticky and darkish. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ kneeslides in is the half of the sword that stabbed margaret here? can he check the metal shards against that, see if they look like they'd match? ]

[dropoffs]

[ the sword from margaret's chest was put in evidence... but you can surmise that yes the metal shards could be from this sword ]

[roseoftexas]

[ thank you mods .... me running around like where am i. ]

SORA

[dropoffs]

[ on another autopsy table is a figure, where a white sheet has been respectfully laid across. ]

[inquired]

[ gloves, on! inquisitor brain, working! castti should be proud

okay, temenos is here to check out sora. sorry you're getting checked by a guy but at least it's a priest? when he pulls back the white sheet, what is the overall general picture? what is immediate and obvious? ]

[dropoffs]

[ temenos gets one point for wearing gloves and -1 point for checking a dead woman, wow. so much for priesthood.

at first glance, congratulations, all her body parts are there! he'll immediately notice sora's neck and upper torso is bloody. as well, there are some odd black streaks visible on her skin there. one of her arms also seems like it has seen better days... ]

[inquired]

[ looks at my notes this is his first dead woman check ever so i guess that's fair

okay, weird! that's a lot to look at. he'll start with the neck and head first then. is there a corresponding injury to the blood on her neck? any damage to her face that's visible? he will also check her ears, eyes, and mouth for any discoloration, injury, et cetera. ]

sunglasses check

[applebough]

[ hello she's just here to put sunglasses on sora to see if these fit her. ]

[dropoffs]

[ sure ]

[applebough]

[ mrs jingu you look fabulous ]

glass shard check

[drymonster]

[ can he check if the bloody glass shard from the spa looks like it matches sora's stab wounds? ]

[dropoffs]

[ he may. it is... not a match for any of the stab wounds! a little too jagged. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ it's the final countdown and i made the mods answer my ping and made him run for this sword so i'm gonna do wild things:

does this sword with a similar hilt to the one they already have in evidence look like it might match any of sora's wounds? ]

[dropoffs]

[ it does not! go forth and do more wild things. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ worth a shot! kickflips ]
