week 9 - trial; day 2

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 9 trial, day 2 ♫ 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 VOTING cast setting rulebook

Do we have to use it on someone? One of the mannequins from the clothing store should do the trick.

[muties]

Mannequins aren't made from the same stuff as like, people, tho.

[dhaosu]

[ He is not a fan of this. ]

But, this is just to determine if it leaves burns, right? Do we need to injure someone for this...?

[ What if the shock kills someone. If it has to be done, then what can be done, but he is just Concerned. ]

[hopefragment]

Well... Bill is volunteering. And stun batons are just for stunning, right? There's no way someone would actually die from it...?

[Pls confirm, adult weenie?]

[herbgrace]

Why don't we use ham from the refrigerator? [You know, instead of living people...]

[dhaosu]

There is a good possibility he wouldn't.

[ But if the stun baton suddenly like malfunctioned and shot out a large voltage and killed Bill what then? Plus it's similar to evil magitechnology for sure. ]

Either way... I think Lithuania has a good, alternative idea.

[billarious]

But what if it affects ham differently? It'd be better using a human right?

[Come onnnn!!]

I'll be fine!

[brawlhalla]

If we don't let him do it now, he'll just have me or someone else do it later. May as well have it happen with supervision?

[ LET BILL ELECTROCUTE HIMESLF????????????? astrid is such a bro ]

[billarious]

You are literally my best friend, Dragonrider. New favorite person.

[SUCH A BRO. Also she's not wrong?]

[dhaosu]

... Fine.

[ Go be the hero, Bill! ]

[brawlhalla]

[ HIGH FIVE at least someone appreciates her bloodthirsty self ]

[symbologic]

I am...still a bit confused as to why we need to test it with the electricity on at all, really. I feel as though if I were hit in the head with something like that...

[He'd uh...probably. Have more brain damage??? Like. Real. Permanent. Brain damage. Not just a little retrograde amnesia and a concussion. He shakes his head a little, clarifying:]

When I suggested the baton to Hajime, I was considering the possibility that it could be used to hit someone without being electrified.

[muties]

Shhh, let Bill electrocute himself. Just let it happen.

[ We can hit someone with it later. ]

[billarious]

[Listen to Roxy, Faize! She definitely know what she's talking about and is also obviously on the side of fun. Unlike you.]

[symbologic]

[HE IS ON THE SIDE OF NOT SEEING YOU ACCIDENTALLY DIE THANKS TO A CRAZY POWERFUL STUN BATON??? ESPECIALLY SINCE ELECTRICITY WAS NOT USED?]

[THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME, BILL.]

[billarious]

[NO IT'S NOT IT'S A GREAT USE OF TIME? THIS IS A GREAT USE OF TIME.]

[symbologic]

[Sighs.]

I would rather not see Bill accidentally die mid-trial, though...or at any point in time at all, really.

[He likes Bill???]

[billarious]

Aw I'm touched, but give me some credit, Hazelwood! I fell off the hotel roof and was just fine! This'll be nothing.

[herbgrace]

Maybe you should confirm with Miata that it's been rendered nonlethal first? [Since apparently this is happening?]

[muties]

He's not gonna die, I'm p sure those kindsa things don't pack that much of a punch? He'll just get a little zapped unconscious, I think. That's what happens in, like. Books and movies.

[ And Bill wants to do it???]

[jackhole]

Uhhhhh.

[ HE'S. SORT OF KILLED PEOPLE WITH IT. SO UHM, HE'S NOT SURE? ]

[hopefragment]

...

[Rhys...]

Okay, so let's not electrocute anyone. Faize doesn't have electrical burns anyway. But it could still be used as a bludgeoning weapon, right? Maybe... can we compare the size of the baton to Faize's wound? If the hit from the rock is bigger than the baton, then...

[jackhole]

A-ahahaha... yeah! That probably works. I mean, again, it's been in my safe this entire time and I didn't do anything so this is all just a giant waste of time but if you really want to pursue this, you're more than welcome to try it out.

[jackhole]

[ looks at bill

looks at ranulf

looks back at bill ]

Uhhh.

[mothercat]

[ followin' his gaze like ??? ]

Uh. All right. If he wants to do it, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't let him.
