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

N-No, but... not voting is the same as giving up. Someone tried to kill Faize, and did kill Urashima. We have to uncover the truth.

[His voice is a little quieter as he adds,]

I don't want to die here. We still... we still need to figure out how to save our friends. Don't forget that.

I think giving up is resigning ourselves to this week after week.

I think giving up is trying avenge someone who would never want to be avenged like this, just because some witch with a television channel decided we should.

I'm sick of it. I don't want to do it her way anymore.

[ man, rhys thinks this sanctimonious shit sure is hilarious! so have the peanut gallery over here ready to point out -- ]

Heeeey, be-tee-dubs. Urashima was pretty deadset on killing Sadie when he figured out that Sadie was a bitch. Remember that, cupcake?

1/2

[sobowtor]

First of all. [Poland makes a hideous gagging sound at being called cupcake.]

[sobowtor]

And furthermore.

He wrote it right in his notebook he wanted everyone to live?

I mean I could vote for you if really want me to since you're the only one I can't stand.

[jackhole]

Yeah, but it doesn't mean he'd want you to die over some bullshit nobility quest to make yourself look good. Honestly, bro.

[ and then he shrugs. ]

Sure, go ahead? But I didn't do it, so you'd be wasting time on a grudge instead of figuring out the truth. That seems kind of like your thing though, huh.

[sobowtor]

You're lucky I'm a generous person and married you when no one else would.

[She'd love to vote for you otherwise.]

[jackhole]

[ pshawww!! ]

I'm going to get married one day, dude! And it's going to be great.

[ he is a REAL CATCH OKAY in... terms of borderlands ethics but he sure is a douchebag here, whoops. ]

[hopefragment]

It's not about avenging! It's about protecting everyone else here! It's about finding the truth, and... believing in each other! That if we can keep going, if we can make it through another week without anyone committing murder, then...

B-Besides, you saw what they did to Undyne! They don't care about killing us themselves. I want to break her game too, but this can't be the way to do it!

[symbologic]

Hajime is right. Failing to vote will not end this. Even if every single one of us did so, all it would accomplish is ending the match, but not the entire game. There would be nothing to stop our captors from merely starting anew with a whole new batch of victims.

We need you, Poland. You promised us you would make sure that none of us were left here, right! You cannot do that if you die.

[billarious]

Don't get yourself hurt over me Dollface.

[He's all for anarchy and chaos and all that but really now...]

[dhaosu]

We have no other choice for now.

[ ... ]

I do not wish for you to get hurt. Therefor...you should make a vote of some kind.
