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

[UGH NO WHY IS HE SO ENDEARING... NO!!!]

I'll wake up on time, so don't worry about that. Just worry about yourself.

[GOD!! This is the sort of caring mentality that gets people murdered.]

[minogame]

( Because his virtue is chastity. Miata told him herself. )

I will, I will! But I'm a sword so I gotta protect my friends too!

But I'll be careful! I have to get home to master and my brothers and Kamekichi too!

[stupidly]

[He looks exasperated for a second, like. The Old Person kind of exasperated, where he's had to deal with too many crazy kids for too long and now he's exhausted but still fazed by everything because he cares too much.]

If it comes down to it, you should prioritize your safety first.

[JUST SAYIN

DON'T GET HEROIC-MURDERED.]

( Urashiam tilts his head to one side. Ah, what's with that look? It looks like the saniwa when the swords say something tiring... But aruji-san only does that because he cares a lot and he thinks Gilbert is a nice person so he smiles at him,. )

I promise. A broken sword's no good.

[stupidly]

[Well, Urashima isn't wrong, at least... Gilbert is rude because he cares, 8 times out of 10. The other 2 times are usually Break.]

That's a weird way to say it. [BLUNTLY. He pauses as he finishes chopping ingredients and sets it into the pan.] But you should try to survive, yes.

[minogame]

( Is it? It seems like a normal thing for Urashima to say. )

I'll live a thouuusand years. ( Is he being serious or just being silly now. ) Like a turtle! And then ten thousand years more. How does that sound, Mr. Gilbert?

[stupidly]

[He wonders if anything could live that long, but that is not good dinnertime conversation, so he just makes a little humming sound.]

That sounds fine. Make sure you do.

[minogame]

( Turtles can. Kamekichi probably has. )

You too, Mr. Gilbert.

[stupidly]

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE THAT LONG.

But he won't respond to that, either. What a vaguely grumpy kinda bleak guy... The dish is well sizzling by now, though, and he'll step to the side a little.]

Would you like to do a taste test?

[minogame]

( Well, maybe that's a little long for a human! )

Ah.. yes, please!

( It smells good! He's ready to eat... and he'll hop on over to try. )
