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

There should be ingredients for cucumber soup. [Soup is easy to eat, at least.] You don't have to cook for me, you know. [Still, she doesn't actually sound like she has energy enough to really argue it. It's just important to her that she says it.]

[dhaosu]

Then that is what's being made.

[ Thank goodness it's soup... that is actually pretty easy for him to do. He's been practicing after all. And he begins to grab some cucumbers from the fridge. ]

Perhaps I do not. But you must have done the same for someone else at some point. That is a good enough reason for me.

Especially now...considering it is a difficult situation, and one where people could have a lack of motivation to do things they normally would.

[Lithuania nods, a little. Eventually, she speaks.] I'd really thought Urashima would survive. Nearly everyone liked him, and even the people who didn't--I thought they'd aim for a less popular target. [Though it doesn't really seem as if Urashima was the target here to begin with.]

[dhaosu]

Hn, I understand what you mean.

Although... I do not think he was the intended target -- perhaps he saw something he shouldn't have and by then it was too late for him to act too much. Maybe... it was something like Alisha and Gilbert's situation.

[ He's probably assembled the right ingredients, albeit solemnly. But he manages to put them in the pot easily enough!

If he finds out who did it though, he's going to have a couple of Words with them. ]
