week 9 - trial; day 1
 ♫ friday 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? setting rulebook |

She did, huh?
[Poland's just gonna chuck her notebook on to the trip wire and then keep hanging out in the hallway before even trying to enter the room.
Sure she could have avoided it, but that's boring.]
no subject
He's not entering the room yet though, waiting to see what that trip wire does. Bless Poland, he would have absolutely tripped over it if not for her.]
no subject
... turn on the lamp. That's it. It's just the first line of defense, ok, wow guys. Do you not have faith that our friendly viking chick would not try to kill or maim us all via traps? ... Fair enough. ]
no subject
[Poland was expecting a barrage of fire and knives.]
Huh. Okay. [Poland's just gonna pick up her notebook off the floor then and keep looking for more traps. Also a brilliant manuscript.
And sure why not clues too. She's got time. She'll look at Roxy's katana.]
no subject
[Don't sound disappointed at the lack of a spectacular trap, Poland! He does go through her clothes thoroughly, because it's not like he doesn't spend enough time with her to know what her clothes look like, jeez. And, as always, checking to make sure there's nothing weird in the pockets or the lining, because Listen, someone might have snuck something into poor, innocent Roxy's pockets.
...He'll also make a note to help her with her laundry because of the clothes at the bottom, girl... Are they dirty, or just not hung up? Either way, he can help.
And he can also check her safe, too. What's in here? Is it wizardfic?]
no subject
There's nothing in her pockets or lining. The clothes at the bottom are just not hung up, or maybe were just pulled down and never put back up. They appear to be clean.
In the safe there is a severed hand and a snickers (no). There's two crumpled papers toward the back, and one uncrumpled one just neatly folded. There's two not-so-mysterious envelopes. Also her petrified dead mutant kitten wrapped up in a pink scarf, so there's that. Plus a few snacks from the general store that she likely forgot about anyway. There's a notebook towards the front, laying facedown. Apparently safes are just for "whatever I feel like". ]
no subject
[Okay, he really wants to investigate, but... While he helpfully pulls the snacks out and sets them on the dresser so she knows they're there to be eaten, he doesn't take anything else out.]
H-hey, Poland... there's some papers in the safe. Would you mind... going through them? I don't want to go through her private stuff more than I have to. I'll take the dresser, instead.
[Because it's much less of an invasion of privacy to go through her panties than it is to go through her papers, or something??]
no subject
[So there is no blood or an 'I killed Urashima' engraving on the katana. Got it.
Poland will just take this anyways. She can use it to trip traps. Or maybe Ranulf needs to sniff it for incriminating chlorine. Who knows.]
Okay!
[Poland's just gonna nose her way through Roxy's papers then! For great justice, Roxy. Also Hinata totally told her to.]
no subject
And wow how does someone engrave that on a katana?? Especially a shitty one?
Poland will find that the safe notebook is... not the wizardfic. Instead it seems to have a to-do list and then several pages with shitty scientific diagrams. The crumbled papers are both letters that Roxy seems to have sort of discarded. The folded one has FOR HAJIME, IF I AM DEAD on the front. Then the envelopes are both envelopes where does she want to start, will she read them all.
When the first dresser drawer is opened, there's a spring noise and a can of food drops down from above, aiming for his head.
The dresser is full of clothes. There aren't even any panties missing, which is the real mystery here. Feel free to take a pair, Hinata. Just. Go ahead. Roxy apparently gives zero shits about keeping the stuff in here tidy, though, as everything looks tousled around haphazardly. Folding is for dweebs. The only thing folded is her Rogue of Void pajamas that she rarely wears anymore.
In the last drawer is another notebook. Could this one be the Holy Reward...? ]
1/2
[He glances around at the spring, then promptly gets beaned on the head by the can. Catlike reflexes, he does not have, and yelps upon being hit.]
Shit! Astrid's stupid traps!
[He might kick the can out of annoyance, because ow?? His head??]
no subject
Ah...
[There it is. The Holy Grail. Maybe. It's not in the safe, so... maybe this is less personal?
Opens it to take a look, Prepared to snap it shut if it seems more personal than just wizardfic.]
1/2
Because Hinata told her to.]
Hmm?
2/2
Don't be a pervert Hinata, Lithuania and I raised you better than that!
1/2 as well just cause
What Hinata opens up to appears to be... well. ]
phase grabbed handsome's shoulders and gripped tight, and handsome listened as the young wizard said something stupid.
"we have to go to the underworld, to save alice!" phase said, stupidly.
handsome, while very into this homoerotic subtext that phase was putting down, looked at phase like he'd lost a few marbles.
"i know you miss her, and i promise we'll get the orc queen cadie and wreck her, but..." how could he phrase this without hurting his brofriend's feelings? "that's fucking stupid, phase."
"wow, way harsh," roxe larogue the not self-insert said from a corner with her sweet lemonade.
"no, it's not. you have to be killed to go to the underworld, and people die when they are killed," handsome pointed out. it was not the most unreasonable point, even phase in his grief could see that.
[ Yep, this is the wizardfic all right. This isn't even a good scene, what is your luck Hinata. >Continue...? Or find a better chapter? ]
2/2
- get outta here alive
- get everyone else outta here alive for f sakes
- take hinata to a nice restaurant. or any restaurant. even a goddamn mcds.
- kill the batterwitch.
- help fix hinatas shit back home.
- oh i guess lord english is also a thing but eh whatevs
- figure out how ppl will even get home and also go other places when home note: what if, a goddamn hundred fenestrated planes. investigate.
- get new coat
[ Truly amazing. There's a few crossed out things in the midst of that like "kiss Hinata". High-five, self. The rest of the notebook is dumb homestuck science shit and also hot or not. There is one page that talks more about "fenestrated planes" with drawings of windows and cubes with outlets on them. Ok, Roxy.
The crumpled papers appear to be old letters. They each have a "don't bother with this trash" note in the corner, but one is addressed to "home" and the other to "murdertown". ]
friends, i am hella dead. sorry. :( stay safe and take care of each other. dirk, take care of our kids. jake, take care of dirk. jane, take care of dirk and jake. john, sorry i never got to mack on you.

- roxy
[ She may have written this stuff like week 2 or something.
The envelopes are her motive envelopes. One contains this picture, the other this one.
Then finally the folded letter to Hinata. ]
hajime,
i
[ ... apparently did not finish this letter? Oh well, maybe later. ]
no subject
[SLAMS the underwear drawer shut you saw nothing?!
But he sure did find the greatest treasure. He's not sure if he should be proud or not, but now that it's open, he can't help reading a few lines. Then a few more. He figures out Phase pretty quickly, but it takes a couple sentences for him to put it together. Then--]
Gyah!
[Tosses the notebook back in the dresser drawer and slams that one closed, too, flushing a brilliant shade of pink. Look, it's weird reading about characters who are obviously supposed to be him and Faize alongside the words "homoerotic subtext."]
I-I'm going to check the beds!
[Which he'll do, pulling off the blankets, sheets, and pillows, checking under the mattress, oh my god Poland don't look at him. He didn't even read anything bad but it's just weird??]
no subject
Then you get to pull them off.
[Poland stuffs all the reading material back into the safe!
And. Then. Just slips into Roxy's drawer to grab that notebook and shove it in her shirt for later. Clearly this falls into the "Poland please read all Roxy's personal things" request.
So what's in the bathroom?]
no subject
The beds are beds, made of bed things. In the unmade bed Hinata will find her pajamas, like regular sleepwear pajamas, so there's that. Nothing else too noteworthy, maybe a stray fork from some forgotten meal long ago. Who knows. There's blonde hairs on both beds, the made bed has darker, longer strands perhaps belonging to a viking.
The bathroom is a bathroom. The shower is dry, with a dry towel ready for when she does take a shower after all this shit. The sink is dry and everything like toothpaste, her toothbrush etc looks used normally if perhaps left untidied. I have no clue if there's makeup in Lesbianbalm, but if there is there probably is a bit of that since black lipstick?? We Just Don't Know, ok. The toilet is free of any food products. ]
no subject
[Poland are you trying to kill this poor boy. Does he look like he's bold enough to ask to see her panties. Look at him. He's a nerd.
...If he finds a fork, he's taking it out and setting. And also remaking both beds for her once he's done thoroughly searching them, meaning this is probably the first time the one she sleeps in has been made in a long while. If he has time, he'll even quickly fold her pajamas, too. Not all that well, but at least he made a quick attempt.
While he's there, what about the bedside table? And the lamp, gotta check to make sure no one stuck anything under her lamp or lampshade or something stupid like that.]
cha cha slides this in real quick
The lamp is where she hid the dead body (no). The lamp is a lamp. All there is is the pulley that turned it on from the tripwire thanks to Astrid. ]
