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

( So... this sure is a thing that is happening. After the trial, Urashima will head back to the hotel with the general crowd! He'll linger around the lobby a bit until it's time to go to bed since today was pretty exhausting... Ugh, he doesn't even know if he paid attention all that well today, tbh.

But he'll use this time to check up on some people before they all go their separate ways. )

Uhm! ( Hey! ) Are you going to eat? We were stuck there for a long time and we might be stuck again tomorrow... so you should eat something before bed.

( Since there wasn't a whole lot at the trial to pick from... water and sandwiches are nice but from 9AM to 6PM.... please. )

[stupidly]

I'm not very hungry, but thanks.

[Urashima, still caring even after all this crazy murder and Vegeta accusing!]

...Have you eaten?

[minogame]

( Normall he would say not really and he's even about to say that when--! )

A little! I didn't realize it until a little while ago... but I didn't really get to eat breakfast today.

( Trial started just a tiny bit earlier than he would have normally woken up. )

[stupidly]

[Gilbert, on the other hand, was probably awake hours before it started like the freak of nature he is. That said--]

Do you want me to make you something? Pancakes or eggs... Those don't take long.

[Since he figures they probably shouldn't linger on Trial Night and all, in case someone else tries to murder, or the murderer tries to escape being murdered, or any other bizarre possible turn of events that would totally be just their luck.]

[minogame]

( Ugh, either trial started when he would have woken up or he woke up and didn't have time to do anything beacuse trial started... I haven't decided!!

But Urashima looks up at the offer and nods, )

Please? I don't really know how to cook here.

( Technology! And ingredients he isn't really used to and all. )

[Poland opts to play with Siarka in the lobby for a bit before bedtime-- being cooped up in one room with so many people arguing about murdering wasn't a very fun time.

Poland will look up at Urashima for a moment at his prompting... before immediately going back to playing with Siarka without answering him.]

[minogame]

Huh?

( What was that??? )

Hey! Are you mad at me?

[sobowtor]

[Siarka looks back and forth between Poland and Urashima looking a little confused...

Oh. We don't like him anymore?]

I'm not mad?

[She doesn't look mad at least. Of course she's not looking at him either.]

[minogame]

You're ignoring me, though!

( He doesn't understand. )

[dhaosu]

No.

[ ... ]

...How do you fare, considering all that has occurred today?

[minogame]

Are you sure?

( He won't press Dhaos if only beacuse Urashima figures spirits are the same and don't really need to eat. )

Uhm... I'm okay! ( He claps his hands once and gives his best smile! But something is a little off about it all... his eyes aren't quite as bright. ) But I'm sad too.

Takao was very nice... he doesn't deserve this. And the person who did that to him... they must have been hurting for a long time.

[dhaosu]

Yes.

[ He really doesn't, so Urashima is right on that. Regardless, he can tell the trial was affecting him just like the others. ]

I can see why... he certainly did not.

[ ... ]

Hn, the killer must have indeed been 'hurting' if they succumbed to it and decided it would be in their best interests to kill someone to relieve their own suffering from that motive.

[minogame]

A lot of people were having a hard time this week so maybe someone.... ( Someone did just that. Picked a normal human kid with no special power to defend himself with. A nice one, at that too. ) I don't think they would have if things were normal, though.

[herbgrace]

You should as well. [Really, Lithuania was only planning on getting some food for Laima, but...] How are you faring so far?

[minogame]

I will.

( He will. Honestly, he's pretty tired after the trial himself. Thinking all day is just as exhausting as fighting all day, who would have though. )

I'm okay! ( And he'll grin at Lithuania to prove just that. But he does look just a tiny bit worn despite his efforts. ) Uhm... I guess I'm a little sad, though. Takao-was a good person.... and I feel bad for the suspects...

[herbgrace]

[Poor turtle sword.] It's a difficult situation no matter how you look at it. And we've still a day left for this trial.

[minogame]

( Pure turtle sword. Too good for this game. )

Yeah.... and tomorrow we have to pick someone we think was guilty and....

( They'll die, according to the rules. )

[dereban]

I'm going to pass. I had some of the sandwiches earlier, and I don't want to ruin my appetite before sleeping. What about you?

[ She's just... being polite, honestly. ]

[minogame]

Is that enough?

( He gets that some humans don't eat a lot but that seems so little... Hmm... )

I'm going to get something to eat! I'm a little hungry. And then I'll go to sleep so I can eat again tomorrow. ( Gosh, he sounds like he's always hungry. ) Are you going to get breakfast tomorrow? I can save you something if you want.

[dereban]

It's enough for now. I don't actually need that much food in my system, so I'm okay with just having two to three sandwiches.

[ She's not stupid enough to simply not eat, however. ]

I will, but you don't have to save anything for me. It's fine. I'll be alright.

[ Not really "alright", but in regards to food, she's okay. ]

[minogame]

Hmm... I'm the same too. ( Normally. Someone's getting used to his powers being nerfed some and becoming a little more killable though, gee. ) Okay.

( He won't push for her to eat then! )

I don't mind. We might be in there for a long time tomorrow... so I'll save something just in case. People have to eat to stay strong.

( Maybe he'll save her an apple or something, at least. )

Uhm... what about right now, though? Are you okay right now?

[detanimetion]

Huh? Are you asking me to cook for you? [Don't...don't say yes...]

[minogame]

Will you?!

( HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COOK HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO )

[detanimetion]

[Well...it looks like Takao won't be the only murder victim this week...]

Sure! I'm making something for myself anyway. I'm getting soooo sick of sandwiches!

[minogame]

I'll help, I'll help!

( With his own murder.... )

I don't mind sandwiches but I've been eating them all day!
