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

[ He looks calm.

He's always been calm, right?

He can't help but laugh.

He remembers when Urashima had been there, he had always been there for EVERYONE and yet HE DIED FOR A REASON LIKE THIS--

Please someone stop him before he tries to rip Bill apart with his bare hands. ]

[brawlhalla]

[ I mean, if he goes at Bill Astrid's going to step in, since they don't need another fucking Undyne situation which killing the culprit might do? ]

We have this talk every week. No one kill the killer, execution'll do him in just fine.

[dhaosu]

[ Surprisingly, talking him down is an option, because he'll only stop if Astrid literally steps into his path. He just stares at Astrid. ]

...

[ He's not satisfied with just an execution. ]

[brawlhalla]

[ She's definitely literally stepped into his path. ]

I am sick of people getting themselves killed. Step off.

[dhaosu]

Do not tell me to step off.

[ He sounds less enraged, and more tired now, though. ]

[brawlhalla]

You need to be told it. It's not like it'd do you any good anyway - he doesn't mind getting hurt.

[ LITERALLY, HE ENJOYED HER SLICING HIS HAND OPEN. ]

So...you'd just make him happy.

[dhaosu]

No, I do not.

[ He insists this stubbornly, but he sighs at the 'doesn't mind getting hurt'. Congrats Astrid, THAT is the word that he will get him to finally reconsider. ]

... He truly enjoys such a thing? As in gleefully?

[brawlhalla]

Yeah. He wanted me to cut him open again sometime.

[ WHICH SHE WAS DOWN TO DO............................

stares at hands ]

[dhaosu]

... You weren't going to take him up on that, were you?

[ Unsure...Bill what the heck. ]

[okuri]

[...]

Don't kill him if it will get you killed. [ But everything else is fair he supposes, isn't that what they had decided before with Charlotte and Satori?]

[dhaosu]

[ Then at some point he might try to punch Bill, but let's be real, Dhaos wouldn't hold back so if he tried to punch Bill it wouldn't be pretty.

And then he's taken away by Ranulf. ]

[mothercat]

Listen to Astrid and Yoite, Dhaos. They're right.

[ Rather than waiting for a response, Ranulf just casually picks up Dhaos princess-style and carries him to the other side of the room.

Dhaos is going into time-out. ]

[dhaosu]

... What are you...?!

[ AND THEN THEY'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE...

Ugh, Ranulf. ]

Did you need to do such a thing...?!

[ He could've walked back himself. Probably!! ]

[mothercat]

Yep. You were going to do something stupid if left to your own devices.

[ Doing those stupid things here though? Not a good idea. Now that they're as far away from Bill as they can possibly be, he sets Dhaos down. ]

[dhaosu]

Hmph. As if I would have killed him.

[ He goes to actually sit down. ]

...

Perhaps it is good you did step in. Although it is not as if he didn't deserve to feel the same pain he caused.

[okuri]

[ Yoite doesn't have anything else to say, but he will come over and sit by Dhaos in a show of support.]

[dhaosu]

Listening to him run his mouth, however, is disgusting.

[ He's no longer angry in the volatile sense, but now he wants shittalk. He hears what Bill is saying to Faize. ]

[billarious]

[Sorry Dhaos, he's laughing here too.

Bill sure was up for having the culprit get his ass kicked, and guess what hasn't changed.]

[dhaosu]

[ If you want Bill... he can still shove everyone aside, come over there and hit you! ]

[billarious]

[FEEL FREE just make sure you get it in before Rhys paralyzes him.

Or you could possibly wait until then if you want? Though it's not like he'll run now so.]

[dhaosu]

[ Bill you frustrate him on so many levels.

Ugh why couldn't it have just been Rhys. ]

Enjoying yourself, aren't you?

[ He gets the urge to slap Bill before he does get electrocuted-- he'd hit him harder if he didn't enjoy it.

He raises his hand, and does the back-hand connect with Bill's face or no? ]

You're utterly ridiculous.
