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

... Would it be easier and faster to reach by flight?

[aumygoddess]

But what if they didn't need to? What if they had something like that with them already?

[hopefragment]

They did have knives with them. Those came from the boathouse, right?

But what did they do with the trap after they'd used it, if so?

[aumygoddess]

Oh, that's true. Hmmm....I don't know. Yoite-san was the one who went to the boathouse, right? He didn't mention the tarps being out of place, did he?

[okuri]

There wasn't anything else out of place that I saw.

[aumygoddess]

[ A nod. ]

Then, I do not think the tarps were used. But Dhaos-san has another idea...

[dhaosu]

Something they normally wear? Like a coat that protects against rain?

[ Like an easily washable raincoat? Do those wash easy... ]

[aumygoddess]

That...could be it. Has anyone been wearing a raincoat?

[dhaosu]

... Bill. He had one in his room.

[ ...... ]

[okuri]

It was clean.

[herbgrace]

A raincoat is easy to clean off. [Since it's made for rain.]

[dereban]

Well, can we possibly have Ranulf sniff it to see if there's the scent of Urashima's blood on it?

[ Important question of the hour. ]

[billarious]

If you guys wanna go grab it and check it out some more, I don't mind.

[He'll happily offer his keys!]
