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!

I guess we might as well, since we're right here...

[ is it still two sets of prints, one barefoot and one not?

poking her head around behind todomatsu as he boards... what do we see in here? ]

[dropoffs]

[ still two sets of prints, one barefoot and one not! but it's only the barefoot ones that can be seen inside the tram car.

luckily no one has to retcon anything. it seems fine at a glance? but their eyes might be drawn to something that's a stark, bloody red on the floor as adrastea also peers around them - fortunately they're taller than both of you. ]

[drymonster]

[ well, that's good. ]

Great...

[ all right. give us the deets on this red. is this a blood pool? stain? how big/what's it shaped like? he'll go over a little closer and take some pictures, careful not to mess it up. ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ do the non-barefoot ones just stop there, or do they branch off somewhere else?

also just looking at the red stuff from behind todomatsu. you got this, buddy. ]

[dropoffs]

[ they stop here, it looks like.

fortunately, maybe, it's not a blool (blood pool) or stain, but it instead looks like writing in something that is a violent crimson. the writing... it reads...

TITTYTATAS ]

[drymonster]

[ SIGHS DEEPLY AND GOES TO TEXT THIS ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ takes... a picture of it...

does it looks like it was traced with a finger, from the thickness of it? and does it appear to be blood... ]

[dropoffs]

[ it looks like it was brushed on, rather than traced with a finger. not quite round enough if that makes sense?

it also appears to be lacquered as opposed to still wet like blood. ]

[drymonster]

[ presses send.

is there anything else to look at in here that ISN'T that message? anything on the walls or ceiling, inside of the doors? ]

[sexyasmieu]

Oh... maybe it's nail polish.

[ phew.

are we finished? lets todomatsu look around ig ]

[dropoffs]

This is ridiculous.

[ from where adrastea is waiting at the door.

there's nothing on the walls or ceiling, or inside the doors. there are seats in here, though, as girl from ipanema continues to play softly in the background of this tomfoolery. you may check under them if you like. ]

[drymonster]

You're telling me.

[ crouches down and looks under the seats......... what's down here ]

[sexyasmieu]

[ also looking under seats! ]

[dropoffs]

[ congratulations!

you find the missing bottle of nail polish from the salon under the seats.

you're free to go, adrastea will help carry your evidence back so you can report everything but the voided stuff. ]
