week 2 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

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. >Discuss? victim suspects      cast setting rulebook

[ He's actually spacing out and just standing there, lost in his thoughts. So. Y'know. He doesn't notice until the other bumps into him, and he just looks at her, confused. ]

...? Is there something amiss?

[princessantly]

[ Oh geez, she swears she's not trying to mow you down or anything-- not that she can, considering the height discrepancy, but... anyway. ]

O-oh. No, I-- I'm sorry! I lost track of my surroundings. Are you hurt?

[dhaosu]

[ He doesn't seem to bothered at any rate. ]

Hm. It is fine, and as far as I can tell, I am still in one piece. That said, you appear to be working yourself hard. Is it any thought in particular...?

[ If she is thinking so hard upon a matter, maybe speaking about it could help, or some brain storming together, he presumes. ]

[princessantly]

Yes... when we were investigating the notepad, we were able to find that the missing page contained the letter "i"... if it was removed and burned, I thought it might be important.

[dhaosu]

[ He wasn't there for that part, so hearing this is v important. He seems to think of something, considering the theories he's heard. ]

If she had time to write down something like that and the killer went so far to have disposed of it, we can presume that she had enough down time to write something very incriminating about them. Likely a name, at this point, but unfortunately if an 'i' is all we have then that is essentially useless to us, besides leaving potentially four suspects. However, it was a good attempt made on your part.

[ Since Poland doesn't have 'i' in there. ]

That said, someone did mention something about the whole set up being possible as a trap, and if that were true, I have reason to believe it was someone talented in precision at the least.
