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

Oh so you think he's all bark and no bite?

[Poland can see this.]

Actually.

That's probably true.

[Behind those buff arms beats the heart of weenie.]

[billarious]

Probably yeah. Just look at him! He's the guy you'd definitely figure is the murderer, but he's probably never gonna be the murderer.

[He can be part of the weenie club, along with Hinata. Maybe co-founder.]

Or if he was one, then at the very least he'd be a lot more obvious.

[symbologic]

Precisely... I believe if Vegeta were actually the culprit, the murder would be...more straightforward.

[He would just shove him off the roof and that would be that...]

In any case, voting to kill Vegeta without proof of his guilt could allow for Takao's killer to go unpunished. And we cannot allow that to happen.

[So, no, Poland. We can't just kill Vegeta just because he's Vegeta.]

[billarious]

Probably pretty quick. Why bother with all that other stuff if you're as beefed up as he is?

[Muscle heads bothering with morphine and syringes and all that other stuff? Nah.]

Whoever killed Takao is working against us, so we should probably figure out who they are. Killing someone who might help us in the end would be a really bad idea.

[symbologic]

[Faize nods.] A man like Vegeta wouldn't need sedatives to subdue a normal human teenager. And attempting to use it to cover his tracks would just be taking more risks than necessary.

[He's pretty sure it's not Vegeta. Much to his surprise.]

Yes. And it would be an insult to Takao to let his killer be rewarded for their actions.

[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!
