WEEK 4: TRIAL

[dropoffs]

WEEK 4 TRIAL     33 ACTIVE | 8 SR. CREW, 25 JR. CREW

 

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 fifth trial! Over the course of the next nine hours, characters will have the opportunity to discuss, investigate and theorize about Diluc's and Nero'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!

[ boo. lame. zero stars.

anyway, it's hard to tell for sure since there is a lot of blood that seems to have spilled out from that neck cut and also diluc's own hair is red, but there's slight similar traces around his hairline and temples. his hair is sticky. rip. ]

[verminous]

[cool. love that for him. :(

he moves on-- is the slit in his throat clean or more jagged? iirc his clothes were messed up too, are they like, slashed/torn?]

[dropoffs]

[ the slit in his throat is clean and not jagged at all! he does have a collar on his shirt that covers his neck, so it is cut there in the same spot.

his clothes are mostly fine, though his right shoulder has some torn clothes there. i say clothes because he is wearing layers. there's some discoloration around that area, though not a ton. there's more discoloration on some parts of his upper body in small spotches and streaks. it mostly appears to be darker red on his already red suit... and then some random red on the grey parts that shows more obviously you get the idea. ]

[verminous]

[ok ok. he takes note of that, annnd then we're gonna. sighs. strip the diluc. gregor goes through his clothes first before carefully peeling them off, though, to get things out of his pockets etc, and will also feel through the clothes to make sure he isn't missing anything.

whatcha got buddy]

[dropoffs]

[ sorry i forgot to mention there is also some yellow on the clothes. i erased the yellow after reading the word yellow. please take note that the diluc had some discolored darker red and then also some yellow. there is no particular pattern to the yellow, it is similarly random streaks or splotches.

anyway, in his pockets:
-there is a piece of paper in his inner jacket pocket.
-two knives.
-a heal gun
-a multi-tool
-a cool looking gem/jewelry thing that probably looks familiar.

congrats on your loot! now diluc is naked. what do you want to look at? ]

[verminous]

[does the yellow smell like mustard

he will look at the paper, first-- gregor will deposit the rest of this in evidence but he does want to see if there's anything on this before he does. sorry. he's nosy about that part.

after that he's going to check him over for injuries, starting with a better look at the neck wound and then moving to the torso/arms.]

[dropoffs]

[ can you imagine if i said it smells like pee? what kinda fucking murder would this become.

yeah it smells strongly of mustard.

it's... a blank piece of paper! mostly. there's some traces of red on it. for more details go under evidence. there is no visible secret message to snoop on, though.

for the neck, it's a clean, deep slice! not like SEVERAL INCHES YOU CAN SEE THE INSIDE BITS WITH CLARITY deep, but deep enough to infer this would definitely bleed out pretty quickly.

there's some old scars all over his body, but those don't seem relevant. where the clothing was torn on his right shoulder, there appears to be a stab wound in the juncture between the torso and the arm. nothing else stands out on his torso. ]

[verminous]

[does it look like the stab wound is a similar, like, width to the neck slit? not in how long the wound is but the size of what Made it. if that makes sense.

he will also check out his arms and his hands and fingies, checking them out, turning his hands over to see all of them.]

[dropoffs]

[ it's a stab versus a slice, and the stab is slightly more jagged than the slice, so it's kind of hard to tell. the stab doesn't seem to be impossibly massive compared to what would have made the slice, though. similar enough widths.

nothing stands out on the arms, hands and fingies besides some old scars! now you are holding hands with your dead roommate. yay. ]

[verminous]

[well affection week means he's gonna hold his dead roommate's lifeless hand for another few seconds here. yay. :(

and then he will move further down to check the rest of diluc's body for wounds, how is the lower half looking.]

[dropoffs]

[ wow. gay.

anyway, there's nothing on the lower half (his dick is still there before anyone says anything)...

but when he gets to the feet, there's a circling bruise around his ankle. ]

[verminous]

[vital information thank u

looking closer at the circling bruise. does it go the whole way around his ankle? is it like, a single line type of thing or more the type you would see from something like fingers.]

[dropoffs]

[ a single line type of thing! al the way around his ankle. it is circling the DREAMWIDTH I WAS EDITING it is circling the ankle ]

[verminous]

[how wide is it, compared to a finger? also is it like a perfect circle sort of thing or does it overlap at some point.]

[dropoffs]

[ a perfect circle sort of thing! and. I guess it depends on the finger but it is thicker than a single finger. maybe two fingers thick at most if this is the comparison we are making ]

[verminous]

[weird... is there anything there on the corresponding part of his clothes. pant leg. sock. whatever.

after checking that he will turn diluc over so that he can check the back of him, also.]

[dropoffs]

[ the clothes look scuffed there, but not torn! just kinda wrinkly.

nothing on the back! ]

[verminous]

[he didn't check the whole noggin before so if his hair is tied, he undoes it, then checks over his head for any other apparent injuries... anything up here, any bumps etc]

[dropoffs]

[ no bumps or wound hidden by his hair or on his scalp! there is maybe some mustard though. just a little bit. ]

[verminous]

[okay thank u.

he goes through diluc's things again, just double checking, but he'll be finished there.]

[dropoffs]

[ well if we are double checking i did link the wrong picture for his fucking vision because i am not a genshin

i was trying to be coy about it at the time as a joke but google betrayed me so now im like ITS THE VISION GUYS ]
