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

I also recall the exhibition of her skills when Ranulf suggested the suspects show off their special abilities.

[lastgirl]

Yeah. Like I said, he carried Inaba up to her room without second thought when she collapsed in the kitchen before all this nonsense began. If somebody asked him to fetch medicine, I could easily see him going for it.

[lastgirl]

Hey Miata.

I suppose you can't tell us if there's an accomplice working with the killer in this case, right?

[billarious]

What if it was covered in snow though! If you make a snowball with a rock in it and you drop that, the snow would probably keep it from making any marks yeah?

[Maybe? That's definitely how snow works right?]

[hopefragment]

That's not how it works....

[A resigned mutter as he leads the way, moving through the cabinets to get a pair of gloves and syringe. And a pair of forceps, too.]

We can put them at the edge of the bonfire and use these to pull them back out again. Right?

[vicedirector]

I can't say, no. But if there is, that accomplice will be in the suspect pool, as said.

[smileleftbehind]

Well, it's not like I messed up your room! Why are you yelling at me!?

[smileleftbehind]

She also likes cooking. She could have used a hot pan and made that burn on his head with it.

[americanbeauty]

I think you might be overthinking this. [...Said in the most peacekeeping tone possible.] That would still leave some sort of mark too, even if its just more snow than normal.

[lastgirl]

Ok fair enough.

[herbgrace]

It's true. I can't figure out why it would only be slightly scorched, though--if he fell in the fire, or even if he was temporarily placed there, it should be much worse.

Strip Searches

[smileleftbehind]

[lastgirl]

As a regular human, it sucked. It felt like several months passed by.

But Lithuania said she felt like so much longer passed her by in years.

[detanimetion]

That's what i thought at first too, but if that's the case, Takao should have left footprints going from the hotel or wherever to the chapel.

[muties]

You did remember to sleep at some point, right?

[ ALL THE A'S FOR THE TURTLE ]

[minogame]

We should try to figure out which one it is.

( Nodding, )

Anyone can find a way to hit someone hard enough in the head but breaking someone's neck would take more force and you'd have to get closer.

But if it all happened at the same time... then why was he on the roof? That's really dangerous!

If we didn't find anything though... he must have fallen or something some how.

( THIS IS HARD )

Men's

[smileleftbehind]

[Since it was his idea he'll be taking the men aside so their clothes can be thoroughly searched for anything suspicious. He'd be happy to have helpers.]

[sobowtor]

How can you be entirely sure though? It might be.

[Poland was pretty excited about just full on chucking them into the bonfire!

But.]

Oh right...

[They have to pull them out to look at them to compare.

Aw.]

[minogame]

And wake up in time for breakfast!

( The most earnest turtle. )

[detanimetion]

Then he must have been attacked somewhere else, yeah? Like in his room or the kitchen or something. And the killer would have had to be able to carry him all the way from there to the roof without anyone seeing them.

[smileleftbehind]

That sounds fair.

[symbologic]

Even if that were true [Which it's not. That's not how snow works, nice try Mr. Muse.] I don't think a snowball would be heavy enough to do that kind of damage...even if there was a rock inside it.

[The murder weapon is probably not a snowball, Bill, what the fuck.]

[lastgirl]

...If we're going with the theory that the medical stuff is a ruse, whoever burnt him might have thought that would show the bonfire was used somehow.

I also have a problem with the fabric. It looks like it got torn off and burned in the fire. How did that happen? It feels like there are so many things we're considering in this case that don't rightly add up.

[detanimetion]

Don't be such a weenie, you can just put it back together! It's not like we tore it apart or anything!! [oh man she should have totally torn it apart]

[billarious]

Oh, hm...guess that wouldn't work then.
