seven vices case 1 trial, day 1

♫

saturday
At 9AM, every television will go off, loud enough to wake anyone sleeping. The calm, apathetic voice will advise everyone to gather in the chapel for the trial. Static will continue to blare in the head of anyone dillydallying.

Once all of the guests have gathered in the chapel, the doors will lock. Most of the pews have been moved aside to allow for more space, and a few tables have been set up on the altar. On the first, there is an additional copy of the rulebook, and the information cards of the victim and suspects laid out, with space for the suspects to provide their whereabouts, as well as an autopsy report. There is also a large wheeled chalkboard upon which you may write theories. On the second table is a pitcher of water and some glasses, as well as very simple sandwiches and pastries.

The door behind the altar has finally been unlocked. It's a rather plain room with an area set off by a folding screen. Inside, you will find a table on which the victim's body has been laid out. Next to the table, two black and white photographs have been hung on the screen. they are close ups of the victim's body, as it was found when the body discovery announcement chimed. A few sticks of incense burn in the corner to avoid any smells.

At 6PM, the trial will adjourn. Everyone will be escorted back to the hotel by Miata, after which everyone is allowed to head to either the kitchen to get dinner, or to their rooms. Attempting to wander off into the other areas of the hotel will trigger the static alarms in everyone's heads/televisions.

[After running a fabric check, Buddy comes back with results.]

So guys...the fabric that was burnt didn't come from Takao's body. I looked at it a bit closer and it's blue colored. Doesn't feel like cotton either.

[Anyone who looks at it might be able to tell its polyester...Buddy doesn't know fabrics.]

[ Just takes a good look. ] Ugh, polyester. A murderer and a fashion disaster.

Hm.

If we got the clothes the suspects were wearing last night, would you be able to tell which one has polyester as the fabric?

I guess. [ That's a yes. Look maybe she does have a skill! ] Just don't make me touch it a bunch.

I don't think that'll be necessary. We just gotta bring the clothes the suspects were wearing last night.

We'll have to take a good look in their closets. They can't be stupid enough not to hide torn clothing.

Is it possible they burned the clothing?

Yeah, that could explain why that piece was there at all. But then were they, like, naked? It's pretty cold out.

It's a little cold for that... but I can't figure out why just a piece would be left behind and burned. I still think we should check their closets, though. If nothing else, there might be something that's really similar to it.

Then it probably came from the killer or something used in the murder, right?

[ SHE. DOESN'T KNOW WHAT POLYESTER IS EITHER, SORRY. viking. ]

Looks like it. Maybe the killer planted it, but that would mean they were trying to frame someone specifically and that feels a little much.

I mean, if you're going to do a bunch of extra shit, I guess trying to frame someone as well is...a thing?

[ But. ]

So, we should try to find a match...

Might be time to ask Miata if we can go in groups to search the suspect rooms.

Good idea. [ Buddy gets an approving grin. ] I'm in for that.

[ SHE CARES NOT WHICH ROOM, BUT. ]

Blue polyester? Who wears that, among the suspects?

[ WHAT ARE EVERYONE'S COLOR SCHEMES... ]

Vegeta wears a ton of blue. Not sure if it's polyester, but...

He seems like the type to wear polyester? We could check the tag on his clothes, if they uh. Have tags.

It's not.

[OR YOU COULD JUST ASK???]

Are you sure?

[ HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THAT HE'D EVEN KNOW THAT ]

[THEY'RE HIS CLOTHES]

It's a custom made fabric designed for battle. [...] It probably has similar components to polyester cotton, but it's combined with alien fabric not found on Earth. Much stronger and more flexible than any of your human fashion.

Anyway, you'll have to take my word for it because the only label on it is the Capsule Corporation's logo.

[Basically, it was a gift from Bulma.]

O..k. And you never wear anything else?

[ have you been wearing the same outfit for two weeks, vegeta ]

[ wait... ]

But... if Takao was wearing whatever that was and it came off... it wouldn't match anything on his body. Because all of it was gone. Right?

[ future clothes are weird, guys, who even knows how they work ]
