week 1 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

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. >Discuss? victim suspects         cast setting rulebook

[Welp. That sure is a suspect list.]

Can we just blame Vegeta regardless of actual guilt?

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he actually kills someone anyways.

[Whether Poland's serious or just trying to get under Vegeta's skin it is a mystery...]

[smileleftbehind]

But it will probably be obvious when it is him.

[sobowtor]

True.

I just figured we could save some time, but what else is there to do here?

[herbgrace]

No, Poland. [Poland please.]

[sobowtor]

It would be a public service.

I'm being generous right now.

[friendboned]

[what, no!!!]

VEGETA IS A PERFECTLY GOOD SPIDER!!!! HE MAY BE LACKING SIX LEGS, BUT HE MAKES UP FOR IT IN HEART!!

[stupidly]

What does that have to do with any of this?!

[Though he at least agrees that they shouldn't just off the guy...]

[sobowtor]

[... is there any part of you that isn't outrageously weird??]

He's also a perfectly good suspect.

Maybe even the best.

[Really driving home those positives for him.]

[keepshispride]

[No that wasn't dramatic enough.]

With all you idiots intent on irritating me, it's definitely a possibility.

[sobowtor]

[Poland gestures, looking bored.]

There. Case in point.

[fourleafcleaver]

I think you're just intent on being irritated.

[earie]

Seconded. [ Sadie is serious. Please end this. ]

[sobowtor]

The motion carries!

[lastgirl]

No.

I mean, you're right, Vegeta will probably kill later, but I don't think he killed this time.

[brawlhalla]

What she said. He'd be way less...

[ vague hand gestures. ]

He's more a punch them to death kind of guy, I think.

[sobowtor]

Oh well.

I figured it was at least worth suggesting.

[sisumama]

Absolutely not.

[Sisuca crosses her arms and gives a (motherly) glare from where she's standing.]

Everyone gets the benefit of the doubt. It'd be cruel otherwise. [A pause, and.] Besides, Vegeta isn't as unkind as you're thinking. There's no need to judge him so harshly.

[sobowtor]

Have fun with that line of thinking the next time he tries to blow a person up.

[detanimetion]

No one is allowed to kill Vegeta EXCEPT ME!!

Uh, and also we can't let the killer get away with their injustice and all that. [but no lbr it's entirely the first part]

[hopefragment]

Maybe, but... we can't let someone just get away with murder, either. We have to prove it.

I don't want to risk voting for the wrong person.

[Even if he's been told there's no penalty beyond guilt he's still??? Concerned???]

[disapproved]

A foolish display if I've ever heard one.

[ here's morrigan, the devil in this trial. ]

This man is a proud creature. Do you truly think he would express shyness about his conquest? No, I suspect it is a fool's errand to assume it is him. He may be a reprehensibly thick and vile man, but he is not our culprit. I warn against shaping our suspicions around his narrative.

[muties]

Tragically no. That's be bad, probs.

[billarious]

That's not really as fun as investigatin' and figuring this out.

[Puzzling out murder mysteries is great?]

Besides, haven't you ever heard of that "can't judge book by its cover" saying? He may seem like a brute but you never know! Might be someone who just doesn't kill in the end.

[jackhole]

That's kind of a dick move.

[ rhys the "complains about everything but super averse to actually being cruel" company man ]

[minogame]

No way!

( Crossing his arms to make a big "X" in front of his chest. )

He's no turtle to pick on just 'cause you don't like him! Even if he's a snapping turtle!
