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

RECAP...............

[minogame]

Urashima Kotetsu, reporting!

( He seems a little nervous about being one of the first to speak up right now but he make up for it with spirit. )

I was thinking… it might help to review what happened yesterday in case anyone forgot.

Miss Lituania found Takao-kun’s body behind the hotel. The cause of death on the report says it appears to be a broken neck or an injury to the head but we found some evidence that suggests maybe the killer did other things to him too before he died. There were needle marks on his body and some of his hair was burned.

There were some footprints at the scene! I think we proved they belonged to Takao.

He may have been drugged with morphine and “Benadryl.” Separately, they can be used to subdue someone by making them tired. They might be deadly together? Speaking of medicine, there were cough drops in Takao-kun’s pockets! I don’t think anyone knows why he would have them, though… But it might be related to why he killed when he was! Maybe he was sick and went to get them? But why would he go get them late at night alone and meet his killer? Or did he leave with them…?

Like I said, some of his hair was burned! That might be related to the things found by the bonfire.There was some blue polyester that was torn and something plastic. The polyester isn’t from Takao’s body. There were also some scissors! Did anyone talk about that? Maybe he was near the bonfire which was how his hair got burned! But why was only his hair burned?

Uhh… we also talked a little bit about how what happens to human bodies when they die. The cold can preserve a body some which may explain why the time of death in the report isn’t very specific.

Oh, and our suspects…! ( He goes quiet for a second. He doesn’t really like calling them that. ) They’re Hanyuu, Yoite, Youko, Kaguya, and Vegeta. Some people think that powers may be involved since it looks like someone was on the roof. Vegeta, Hanyuu, and Kaguya can fly according to their profiles so maybe that helps?

I think that’s everything as far as evidence goes… there were a couple of other theories, though.

… Miss Poland tried to blame Mr. Vegeta but I don’t think we should be blaming people for no reason; at least, not without proof.

And Mr. Rhys wondered if the sins on our cards may be relevant to everything. I don’t know if that’s right or not but I think it would help to look at the motive some and see if any of the suspects had a special reason to act this week! Uhh… but I guess they could lie if we asked.

I think we found out a lot yesterday but there are still a lot of questions! Like why was Takao-kun’s hair burned? And how did someone get on the roof? And maybe we should look at where the suspects were. Yoite-san may have been the last person to see Takao-kun. How was Takao-kun killed exactly? And what was he doing outside that late? Did we find a syringe? Someone is lying… or at least, not telling the whole truth so we should find them before we get another innocent person killed.

I think… that’s it! Heh heh… sorry if I made any mistakes or forgot something… I don’t normally give reports back home. But I practiced last night! If anyone has anything else to report, I think we should go ahead and say those things now.

( Ah… and he’s done. Don’t mind Urashima as he bows his head some like, thanks for your time guys. Sorry… he’ll do better next time. He’ll keep practicing giving reports if he has to…! )

[Urashima gets a pat on the head! Since Lithuania has definitely noticed that he responds well to that.] Good job.

[sobowtor]

I've heard better.

[Poland you have not.]

[minogame]

( He does, in fact, respond very well to it, preening just a little, )

Thank you, Miss Lituania!

[hopefragment]

Nice work, Urashima.

[Hinata was scribbling down a couple notes while the sword was speaking, though he does point as if he has an objection. It's not an objection for once, but an addition.]

I spoke with Miata yesterday about the autopsy. Even with the other things that were done to his body, it was definitely either the broken neck or the head trauma that killed him.

[minogame]

Thanks!

( Hehe... )

Hmm... so that's definitely how he died? Takao-kun was really tall. Wouldn't someone have to be tall to break his neck if they came up to him?

[muties]

[ CLAPS ]

Good job, bravo!

[minogame]

Thanks! I stayed up to make sure I got it right.

( HE DID HIS HOMEWORK... )

[symbologic]

[Look at you go, little turtle sword.]

An excellent summation, Urashima.

[minogame]

( He's pretty fast for a turtle... )

Mhmm, thank you. ( Ah, he did good. ) I hope it helped.

[smileleftbehind]

[He gently bumps into Urashima's shoulder with a quiet and short purr. Good job kid.]


Yoite probably would not mention talking to him if he was the killer, but... What were they talking about? Did Takao seem strange?

[dhaosu]

They were speaking about mundane things, regarding their own worlds. Drinks and sports.

[ He was listening in on Yoite and Clover's conversation and honestly doesn't want a repeat of yesterday. ]

[fourleafcleaver]

[HAND UP FOR A HIGH FIVE!!!!!]

[minogame]

( HE CAN DO THAT HE CAN HIGH FIVE )

[americanbeauty]

Thank you for keeping track of all this.

[Someone should be elected secretary of the court, to be honest. That's a lot of information.]

[minogame]

( Ugh, let him be secretary of war just like his big brothers back home. )

You're welcome~! Now let's do our best today!

[stupidly]

Thank you for keeping track, Urashima.

[THIS KID, WHAT A NERVOUS MOE.]

[minogame]

You're welcome!

( Ugh, he's being praised, he's a happy turtle sword. )

I'll do my best today to help today too!

[aumygoddess]

Clap, clap, Urashima-san.

[ and she does just that ]

[minogame]

( Ah, scritches his cheek a bit, now he's getting embarrassed... )

Ah, you went swimming the night before?

[dereban]

I still think that the plastic might have been the syringe, unless someone else has any other ideas.

[minogame]

Oh, yeah... I've seen needles like that before.

( Back at the citadel... in a first aid kit or something maybe. )

Maybe it was and they tried to destroy it.

[fluorospar]

Thank you, Urashima. That was very thorough and well done.

[gOOD JOB TURTLE SWORD.]

[minogame]

( He'll just salute like a good little soldier! )

You're welcome~! Let me know if I can help anymore.

[jackhole]

[ ugh why is everyone complimenting urashima......... ]

Good job remembering stuff?

[ uh. anyway. ]

Didn't whatshisface have a coughing fit yesterday after talking too much? [ he means yoite ] Maybe the kid was getting cough drops for him, since they were the last two to see each other.
