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

I mean, I agree the whole blood-from-murder thing does narrow down our options to like...Bill and Faize. Maybe Rhys? He wasn't around for the entire investigation, so he presumably had time to clean up if he did the thing, but he...never does the thing. And apparently cleaning shit doesn't do anything now, because Ranulf smells things?

Yeah, I agree with that. But Ranulf smelling blood on the raincoat... it's just circumstantial evidence. Without that, the rest of the case against Bill falls apart. I can't accept something that can be refuted to easily.

...Could whatever had blood on it have been... sunk into the lake? I mean, it's frozen, sure, but... just a rock holding it down would be enough that we'd never find it.
