seven vices case 2 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.

[ So, you know, after obtaining permission from Miata, Dhaos has nabbed the chain and at some point in time passed it to Undyne, before moving to stand a bit of respectable distance. This is probably where the shenanigans begin. ]

... Here we are. You are to be dragged in the snow by chain, Rhys, and we shall compare it to the trail made earlier.

Make sure to lie down like you've just been poisoned or conked on the head!

I don't think they found any chain-like bruises on the body, so... [She will wrap the chains around Rhys' hands.] Good enough! Don't let go!

[ rhys is going to take a moment to realize he was literally just talking about being tied up yesterday and now here he is. being tied up. have a very awkward laugh, you guys. ]

A-Ahahaaaah... Shouldn't we like, have a safeword or something?

[ but he knows better than to argue against these kind of chain of events (heh) now so he just sort of. uh. drops to his knees on the ground and tries to figure out how to lie back. ]

Why would a safeword be required?

[ Well he's looking on in interest now, hoping something good will come of this and if not... well. At least he's getting good entertainment. ]

What?! You saying you don't trust me to keep you safe? I'll show you!

NOW LIE BACK!! [so...trustworthy.....]

[ he flinches slightly at the shounen yelling and nods. okay, okay, okay! he's lying back in the snow now, why is he going along with this?

he might start mumbling something to himself as he squeezes his eyes shut, braced for being dragged: ]

This is fine. We're okay. This is fine. We're okay. This is fine. We're okay --
