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

[AS LONG AS HE'S SATISFIED WITH THEM in his little ahoge protag heart...]

The body will keep functioning even at times like this. [HE KNOWS... Boy does he know. Kind of, because eventually he just morphed into an abomination that lives on coffee and toast, but he still remembers the glory days.]

Mm. [A nod!] Is there anything else I can get you? If that's too heavy, I can bring some toast.

[hopefragment]

[Please eat something other than coffee and toast?? Wtf.]

Huh? Oh... no, it's fine. I'll get it myself.

[Giving up on the spaghetti, he just kind of pushes it away from him, vaguely in Gilbert's general direction.]

Do you want it? I'd hate for it to go to waste and we end up with nothing but breakfast food again as punishment.

[stupidly]

[LOOK... no.]

All right. [A nod! And then suddenly a plate of spaghetti! Gilbert looks at it uncertainly for a second because he doesn't want it either, but he does know someone it could go to... A certain RUDE OLD MAN who he hadn't seen eating much throughout the day.]

If that's fine, I don't mind taking it... Thanks. Are you sure you won't want any more, though? [Small aliens with pink blood need to eat to grow big and strong!!]

[hopefragment]

[Forgive him, Break-! He knows not what he does.]

Yeah, I'm sure. I'll make some toast or something later, like you said. I mean... might as well make the most of my immunity before it wears off, right?

[By... going to get food by himself without fear. What an incredible use of his abilities.]

Do you think you'll be ready for tomorrow?

[stupidly]

[SOMEONE HERE'S SHOOTING FOR THE STARS...]

Just be careful, anyway. We don't know if we can trust them to keep their word. [About immunity, that is. Even if they seem very rule-abiding for a bunch of crazy kidnappers conducting a game of murder, they're still a bunch of crazy kidnappers conducting a game of murder.

As for the question, there's a brief pause and then a nod.]

...But I guess there isn't really another option. What about you?

[HE HAS HIGH AMBITIONS, IT'S TRUE]

Well, if Vegeta couldn't blow through it, I think I'll be okay for now.

[Ugh... the mention of Vegeta just leaves him shaking his head, because now he's seriously thinking about the suspects and voting and-- let him go home? He just wants to go to school.]

As ready as any of us can be, I think. I just... hope we've found enough evidence to be able to put the pieces together and find the true culprit. There's no real easy way out of this.

Why Takao, do you think...?

[HONESTLY Hinata's grateful for his immunity because with how similar he seems to the basketball player?? It could have easily been him!!]
