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

If it's for the sake of justice and protecting everyone's dreams and futures, then I don't mind sacrificing myself! [basically if Undyne ever kills anyone don't expect any sort of murder mystery beyond her proudly declaring that SHE TOTALLY DID IT GUYS SHE BEAT VEGETA]

[stupidly]

[SHE DOESN'T NEED HER SHONEN EYEPATCH she's got the heart of an anime already...]

...But you just want to fight Vegeta for the sake of fighting.

[That too, though. That too.]

[detanimetion]

It's not my fault he keeps challenging me! I wouldn't be much of a warrior if I just let that slide! [so yeah 100% right there Gilbert]

[stupidly]

Just let it slide!! Just let it slide.

[He's so concerned?! HE'S SO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS WEIRD FISH.]

[detanimetion]

YOU'RE ASKING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE!! [this is like asking Undyne to cook well GOSH GILBERT BE REASONABLE]

Anyway, I'm not gonna actually kill him unless he kills someone or until we get out of this dumb town! I'll just beat him so badly he can't talk.

[stupidly]

[HE'S TRYING TO BE REASONABLE, WHY ARE ALL THESE ANIMES KEEPING HIM DOWN--]

Don't kill him once we get out, either!! ...Just focus on helping to defend him or he'll be executed before any of that can happen anyway!

[There, maybe that will help?!]

[detanimetion]

If he's too weak to defend himself, then he doesn't deserve my help! [Not...that Undyne's defense would be that good anyway lbr...]

[stupidly]

[He's aging another 100 years...]

At this rate, he really is going to need all the help he can get, though.

[detanimetion]

Come on! Anyone with eyes and a brain can see that there's no way he's the killer! He wouldn't need to do anything lame like drugging someone or pushing them off a roof to kill them, he'd just do it!

Plus, why would he go after some weak human kid when he could challenge me instead? And seeing as how he's still alive and I'm not a suspect, that obviously didn't happen! [ACE ATTORNEY SKILLS RIGHT HERE]

[stupidly]

[HE'S AGING 100 MORE.]

...You do have a point about the first part. Others have said it, and I agree. [At the very least, there's that?! That everyone here apparently thinks Vegeta is a meathead who couldn't cover up a complex murder, good work team.]

[detanimetion]

Well...good! PROBLEM SOLVED!! [what was the problem again she already forgot]

So if it's not him, who do you think did it?

[stupidly]

[A problem now lost to the ages, until Undyne decides to declare murderous intent again.]

I think it's too soon to say. [Look, he's not gonna pull a Poland.] But I do agree with the general idea that this... doesn't seem likely to have come from Vegeta, at least.
