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.

You're on the list too, girl.

[THERE'S A LIST?????]

Maybe don't threaten people if you're trying to prove yourself innocent of murder?

I'm proving myself innocent of this murder. Any others are irrelevant at the moment.

First of all, I've got a name, man, [okay no that's not nearly as satisfying, gotta come up with a rude nickname] and that's sure something to hear from the guy on the "probably killed this kid" list.

Hi girl.

I'm woman.

These are our new names as decreed by Vegeta.

[LOUD SNICKERING]

By man. Meathead? I was using meathead before, but I think we can do better.

Let's call him Vegemite.

Disgusting and apparently heavily defended by the fringe minority.

Vegemite! I love it! You're a genius, woman! [LAUGHING REALLY HARD NOW bless you poland she's gonna be on this nickname shit all week]

[Finally someone who appreciates her brilliance.]

I try, girl.

I know your name, I just don't care. [He read the profiles, at least.] Honestly, the fact that you and that woman are still alive should be enough to prove I haven't killed anyone lately!

I don't even care that much if you did, I'm just saying it'd be way better for everyone else if we just voted for you either way.

[... Well, she's not wrong.]

You're an idiot if you vote for me. I didn't kill him and I'm the strongest person here. You'll want me as an ally once the real fighting starts.

The real fighting? That's a laugh. None of us could trust you to be our ally even if that wasn't completely ridiculous.

... Suit yourself.

Am I on the list?

[Can she be on the list?]

... [She's not on the list but:] Sure. Why not?

Good.

[She grins because all normal children are hyped about being on a kill list.]

All right! We're on the list! [HAND OUT FOR A HIGH-FIVE?!?!?! normal teenagers. take this seriously clover]

[FIVE-HIGH CLOVER she won't leave you hanging list buddy.]

This means he's on our lists too now!

Between the two of us, he's a goner!

[someone has died please take this seriously girls]

[With the kids Vegeta spends his time around, this isn't really surprising.]

I'll see when I can schedule your death, then. Assuming I live long enough.

And I'll see when I can schedule yours.

[Buddy please.]

Frankly, I feel like everyone's on that list.

[He seems like the kind of guy to have A List by default.]

Pretty long list. He can't take all of us down.

A lot of people think they can do things they aren't capable of.

[BIG TALK FROM SOMEONE VEGETA CAN SNAP IN HALF BUT YOU KNOW.]
