week 1 - trial; day 2

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 1 trial, day 2 ♫ sunday 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 5PM, the trial will close, after which everyone is expected to have cast their votes. >Discuss? victim suspects   VOTING cast setting rulebook

[Undyne outside in the rain with her face pressed up against the window, watching Vegeta and Astrid's warm, happy thanksgiving meal/training sessions.

Not even gonna look at her.]

[unpleasantries]

...Well, it could potentially burn through clothing if it was fired from a short distance, or if it was a particularly strong attack.

[lastgirl]

...Can we focus on the murder. You can take turns lifting Hinata and dropping him later.

[hopefragment]

[Ugh just let him lay here on the floor and wallow in his misery.]

[unpleasantries]

If she won't, I will.

[She means it.]

[hopefragment]

Yeah, thought so.

[let him Rest, the floor will be his home until asTRID PICKS HIM UP.]

[keepshispride]

[Ugh, cute. He looks away with a huff.]

Just don't expect me to go easy on you. If you die, it's your own fault.

[brawlhalla]

[ AT LEAST SHE'S NICER ABOUT SETTING HIM DOWN ON HIS FEET THAN THE OTHERS. ]

I'm focusing. Of the two suspects we have left...the one I find most suspicious is the one who's acting weirdest. But we still have to talk it through, right?

[hopefragment]

[This is so stupid, he grabs both of Astrid's wrists to try to force her to let go.]

You're not even a suspect, c'mon!

[lastgirl]

Yeah. I don't want to vote for Hanyuu until we're more certain.

[But she kind of likes Hanyuu so she's biased...can she just vote for one of the boys...]

[brawlhalla]

That's how it should be. Don't worry, dragon training had the same expectations.

[ u know, back when they were going to kill them. and maybe only in astrid's opinion??? ]

It's only fun if you get a scar out of it. [ ugh astrid hofferson find your chill ]

[aumygoddess]

[ Another nod. Hanyuu clasps her hands and starts saying....something. SOURCE MATERIAL DID NOT INDICATE WHAT THIS INCANTATION IS, PRECISELY, but she does it.

The blade shifts into its alternate form. It's also completely free of scratches and the like. ]

[hopefragment]

Yeah, that does me a lot of good right now.

[brawlhalla]

Yeah, I don't think jumping into the conclusion will do us any good. But if we have a suspect in mind, we can try to work out the murder from their perspective...if that makes sense.

[detanimetion]

You'd think if that was the case, she'd just lie about going swimming though. And you can't tell how strong someone is just by their body, especially if they have magic!

[smileleftbehind]

Why shouldn't I!? You're a suspect!

[lastgirl]

She couldn't lie about it. We found the bathing suit in her bathroom - if she lied, it would look far more suspicious.

[unpleasantries]

Well, in my case, duels only happen when someone's broken onto my property...

[GRUMBLING A LITTLE.]

[minogame]

( He's never seen a sword like this before and he'll turn it over carefully before finally returning it to her once hes' sure there's nothing off about it. )

Thanks.

Uhm... how were you, this week?

[detanimetion]

[UGH FINE!! She'll just be coincidentally training nearby so she can show off how much cooler she is and occasionally accidentally chuck a spear at Vegeta's head!!]

[muties]

Well, if I had retcon abilities I'd go back and undo it.

[ Lays her jacket on him like a blanket. LET THE FLOOR TAKE CARE OF YOU until astrid appears ]

[keepshispride]

[... Bulma would totally understand if he came home with a new kid. She's always saying she wants a daughter. Bulma would absolutely be okay with it.]

We'll see how long you can keep that attitude up.

[brawlhalla]

[ HINATA, YOU'RE A WIMP, YOU CAN'T OUT-STRONG A VIKING GIRL!!! ]

Undyne wasn't, either. [ OR DID THAT ESCAPE HIS NOTICE... ]

[smileleftbehind]

She said it herself. She probably thought it would throw us off.

Also, if it was Kaguya, then wouldn't it be smarter to just stab him? It would have been less work and not much less obvious.

But Hanyuu has a sword, so stabbing would have made her more suspicious.

[createdamonster]

I see...is that because you're a pacifist, or do you simply not go out much to hunt?
