week 1 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 1 trial, day 1 ♫ 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         cast setting rulebook

Good! Then that's settled for now!

( And he'll give her a bright smile in response to the thanks. "You're welcome!" )

[disapproved]

[ a crack of a smile. she throws her hands up in the air, a dramatic, uncaring display ]

Do not let me impede on your bitterness, then, hag.

[detanimetion]

Huh. There weren't any footprints leading up to that spot, were there? Or from the door of the hotel to the chapel?

[sisumama]

I just think it's something to consider if we're going to seriously look at their sins, don't you? I don't want anyone making a misstep in this trial.

[billarious]

Mad scientist? Nah, I'd never fit into a role like that. I've mentored a few in the past though, so maybe a little madness rubbed off on me.

[sisumama]

[You're pure to Sisuca until proven otherwise, Roxy, don't waste that gift.]

[dereban]

Chastity goes with lust, temperance goes with gluttony, charity goes with greed, forgiveness goes with wrath, kindness goes with envy and humility with pride.

[okuri]

I do. [ At this point, he's tired. Tired enough to less upset and irritated than he had when this all started.

All this talking was exhausting.]

What do you want to know?

[billarious]

Would he even know to try and hide his tracks like that...?

[Like as far as Bill's aware, Vegeta is Not That Smart.]

We gotta catch 'em, no matter what. The right culprit. There's just nothing else to it!

[createdamonster]

In my experience, there tends to be a method to one's madness. In most cases, anyway.

[americanbeauty]

No. It would not.

[Said in a surprisingly serious tone for a 14 year old girl.]

It can't be that though.

[minogame]

Ah! ( Praise...!!! ) I'll try my best!

( But hmm, maybe he'll ask Miata about the book. )

[fourleafcleaver]

Everything, obviously. Like, where did you meet him? What were you talking about? What was he doing?

[sisumama]

I see! Ohh, thank you so much, Mama's so grateful for your help!

[aumygoddess]

[ scoffing ]

Is everything that you say for the purpose of hurting someone?

[dereban]

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if this motive was targeting a certain group of people at all, in fact. It just means we should keep in mind all the other sins in case a motive relates to them. That way, we can go on the counterattack.

[smileleftbehind]

I did say that Vegeta probably would be obvious if he did it. He's too prideful.

[minogame]

( Ah... HE'S BEING IGNORED HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS BECAUSE ITS NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM BEFORE SO HE HAS TRY TO MAKE IT UP LATER!!! )

[fourleafcleaver]

Nobody mentioned any, at least. But I didn't go look myself...

[smileleftbehind]

That's interesting.

[sisumama]

I'll do my best, too! Takao deserves that much, doesn't he?

[americanbeauty]

[WELL... It's probably not sexual?? There's no way she is saying that out loud.]

I don't think much of anything about this place makes sense. And unfortunately the Sins don't even rank high on the list.

[clearasmud]

[ the rulebook says you're senpai, so this is acceptable.

...and you must have a worse week than her, anyway.

gently placing her hand over hanyuu's own and squeezing lightly :( ]

[detanimetion]

[scowls and crosses her arms]

If they'd gone mad, maybe that's why this murder is so weird and none of these clues make any sense! [probably...not...but oh well she's trying okay]

[dereban]

You don't have to thank me -- if I didn't say it, I'm certain one of the others would have.

[ She throws a bitter smile, but it's one nevertheless. ]
