week 9 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 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? victim   suspects      cast setting rulebook

[ Break will leave the stun baton, since its presence isn't a surprise, but just to make sure, he will at least take the letters and hand them all off to Ranulf. ]

All to people he knows from home, I assume?

[ Since Break doesn't quite expect him to leave any for people here, and that's fine. Though once he's passed those off, he'll check out the television and clock to see if anything is awry in terms of how they feel, at least. ]

Ah, but if we're going to check my room as well, I should give you a fair warning. It's a mess. The ghosts won't leave me alone.

im sure it was time well spent!! surely itll come up again one day and youll be like I GOT THIS

[ Another person who keeps themselves clean! The oil isn't pleasant but, frankly, by this point he's so accustomed to smelling armor and steel it's hardly a bother.

He mulls on that quietly while taking the letters from Break and shuffling through them. Before responding to Break, he casually reads off the names on the letters for Break. ]

You and Rhys? ... I'm starting to wonder just how many people here are being haunted. [ There has to be something they can do about this, especially if it's becoming inconvenient. Sorry dead people but could you maybe not wreck the living's stuff??

He very pointlessly shakes his head before moving on. And going to the safe to put the letters up. ] Regardless, a mess won't bother me any. If you don't care for it though, I can help you tidy up once we're finished here.
