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

[dhaosu]

Yes.

[ If he were someone with humor he may have tried to crack a joke to lighten the mood, but sadly he was not. Still, maybe talking through it could ... assist. ]

...Was his death weighing on your mind?

[princessantly]

It... yes. Very much so.

[ He didn't deserve that sort of end. Or any sort of end, before his time. ]

[dhaosu]

Mm. He was quite... lively.

[ Dhaos could not say he had a close bond with him, but the human was ... reasonable. Therefore, he had been disappointed it was him and not a nobody. ]

I spoke with him a couple of times-- he was adamant about finding another way out of here. Regardless, I cannot pretend to know, but I am sure he at least appreciates the thought you have given him, or would have.

[princessantly]

I... won't let the one who did this get away with it. That's why... we absolutely must make sure we figure out the true culprit.

[dhaosu]

...Tomorrow we shall have a chance to likely gain more information as well, and despite how meticulous they were in conducting their act, I doubt it will prove to be in their favor.

[princessantly]

That's right... sooner or later, something will go against their statement.

I hope they've prepared themselves for the consequences.

[dhaosu]

Mm.

They probably haven't, presuming they are the type to believe they will get away with it.

[ This time since the likely candidate for killer isn't a human though, he can't very well make much of a comment on it. ]

[princessantly]

[ Not all humans are bad, Dhaos, she promises!! ]

All the more reason not to let them, correct?

[dhaosu]

[ True. Not like he'd admit it-- he'd blast Rhys in the face (which he was very tempted to do so earlier) before doing that. ]

Quite. With that said, however... I advise for you to gain some sleep soon before the trial resumes so you can put your best effort into it, and fare as well as you can, concerning the situation.

I bid you good night, Lady Alisha.

[ With that a gives a polite nod, turning to make his leave. ]
