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

( He'll give Hinata a bright smile back in return. It isn't quite as cheerful as it's been thet last couple of days before things went down but it's still pretty spirited, )

You should take a break. ( He sounds certain about this. ) We were working really hard today so you should rest your mind for a little bit. And then you can think about it again later but not too long or you'll get bad dreams.

[sobowtor]

Are there anymore gloves, maybe we can char one up to compare?

[dhaosu]

[ Little does Urashima know, but Dhaos certainly appreciates he does not. Still, he releases a sigh. ]

Possibly, although admittedly I do not know the full capabilities of your master. Their power seems to also put them on the level of a god or a goddess, concerning what they managed to pull and still keep it altogether.

[ It makes him concerned, because if there were someone who could rival the power of his own master, his goddess, then surely... they could do almost anything? This was despair-inducing. ]

Yet, surely... it cannot just be one person involved.

[detanimetion]

You think? [Suddenly cheering up again!] Yeah!! I'll get my revenge when everyone laughs at what a scrawny loser he is! [revenge...on what...]

[herbgrace]

That's not a bad idea. I believe there's a whole box.

[detanimetion]

Sounds good! You can help me smash up the ingredients.

Right? And they were all cold too, gross! This place needs a hot fridge!

[hopefragment]

Ah, you think so?

[He can't help but smile and sit up a little straighter. A compliment from a princess-! What a dork.]

I'll try, anyway. This kind of stuff... it's way outside what I'm used to as my everyday life. I've never been on a battlefield or anything like that. It used to be that the only thing I had to worry about was not falling asleep in class.

[minogame]

( Urashima knows how to handle you people hating types. Thanks, Souza. )

My master can turn spirits into people. ( And that sounds absolutely divine to Urashima. ) But the person here can change people into other things.

( Killers. Semi-mortal... )

There's the voice on the televisions... and Miss Miata. ( So that's two people? )

[minogame]

I can do that!

( What are they even making. And there it is. The first sign that Urashima has accepted help from someone he shouldn't have... )

A... hot... fridge?

[hopefragment]

Yeah, you could, and I'd take the notepad back and go sit somewhere else.

[Fighting the urge to roll his eyes... why is his life so hard.]

But... sure. Did you take art classes in school or something?

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos is of the believer beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ]

Adequate enough.

[ For a human, that is.

His eyes flicker towards the messy conglomerate of lines and on second thought, he mayhaps thinks Hinata may need a teacher. ]

It is certainly hard to say at this point. However, if you are to wish for a new perspective, then it is wise for you to do so.

I could assist you in that, human. Tell me, what land and world do you come from?

[princessantly]

Unfortunately no, but if you use just a cloth, you can still get acceptable results.

[sobowtor]

[God Liet... would it kill you to frame anything that comes out of your mouth with positive adjectives...]

Let's do it!

[princessantly]

Ah, no... but just doing this much helps me relax.

[ ... Wait, how long has he been sitting there?? ]

[princessantly]

Were the lessons very boring?

[ She didn't get to go to school, just... proper princess lessons. ]

[dereban]

I doubt they'll starve us to death during the trial, though...

[ As for his question, however: ] No, I'm not okay now. I'm pissed.

[herbgrace]

[It probably would.] That's one experiment, at least. If it works, that's one explanation for one thing. [Now the rest...]

[hopefragment]

Bad dreams, huh...?

[For some reason, that seems to strike a chord with him, and he runs his fingers through his hair.]

I think... those are going to be kind of inevitable. Someone's going to be executed tomorrow, and I can't help but think... that it's going to be awful.

[sobowtor]

[Why is Lithuania inviting other cute blonds to run around with her when Poland, the cutest blond, is around and not being invited at all???]

[hopefragment]

[At least someone is cheerful!]

I... don't think that'll be the case. He looks pretty muscular to me. Maybe he has... an embarrassing birthmark or something?

[How did he get roped into this.]

[americanbeauty]

You probably shouldn't use cinnamon in spaghetti either. [hard hitting opinions. also, yeah, don't steal.]

[sobowtor]

[Since they have to wait for Miata for that one anyways--]

Hey, do you really think Vegemite's too dumb to do this?

[minogame]

( He can understand that! He doesn't really polish his own armor because taking care of his sword does all of that for him but he does get it! )

Are you feeling better, then? You've been here for a long time.

[herbgrace]

I don't know enough about him to say either way. I don't think it seems like his style, but I'm not going to place him above or below the other suspects in likelihood as of yet. [Lithuania prefers a very logical approach.]

[minogame]

Mhmm, they want to take care of us during the trial... ( But only then. Screw the rest of the week. That's awful and Urashima might sound a bit salty about that. )

Ah... do you want to talk? ( He can figure out why she might be mad?! But he doesn't want her to go to bed angry?! )
