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

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

[detanimetion]

I didn't look either. [let someone else do all the busywork!!] But if there aren't any, that's weird, right? How did he get to the chapel without leaving any footprints behind? And if the killer covered them up, then why not cover the rest too?

[fourleafcleaver]

Right? Super weird. But I've got nothing.

The snow on the rooftop was messed with, so someone who wasn't Takao was almost definitely up there, and they probably covered their footprints there. But it doesn't look the same where they found him... I really don't know.

[detanimetion]

Ugh, this is why I hate puzzles!! Just kill someone and be done with it!

Plus!! There's another weird thing about the footprints! How come the killer's aren't there? How'd they get back to the hotel, by flying there?

[fourleafcleaver]

Um. Well, puzzles suck, yeah. [NO COMMENT ABOUT THE KILLING BIT]

A few people on the suspects list can fly... They must have gotten down the same way they got up, whether it's that they flew, or...climbed...somehow.
