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

[ Hanyuu fiddles with the sword strapped to her back; she hasn't let it go even now. Her hands are sweating, they slip on the grip.

She clears her throat. ]

D...did someone ever explain what 'danmaku' is? H-H-Houraisan-san didn't get a cha-chance to demonstrate yesterday...

[lastgirl]

Yeah it'd be nice to figure out what the hell that means. It's so stupid that all these people have powers with names and no explanations.

[earie]

Seriously, like, can we make it so no one has any stupid powers? Let's just be creative with ways to murder people.

[lastgirl]

Yeah, it's cheating goddammit.

[anime was a mistake.]

[unpleasantries]

Ah. Please, allow me.

[Satori holds out a hand, and several colorful bullets shoot from it.]

Hers probably look different, though.

[lastgirl]

...Why don't the dumb cards just say energy balls then?

[UGH.]

[unpleasantries]

It's just what they're called. They're fairly harmless, though - danmaku wouldn't be enough to, say, break a human's neck.

[brawlhalla]

Because that would be helpful.

[ DOUBLE UGH. ]

[aumygoddess]

What...do they do?

[createdamonster]

I believe they're like bullets of sorts. To be fired off in a "barrage"...thus the name.

There's a video game genre just like it.

[brawlhalla]

You're being weird.

[ JUST SO U KNOW. ]

[aumygoddess]

I am scared! So many of you seem to think it was me! Who would not be scared?

[brawlhalla]

Fear's a useless thing to indulge in at this sort of time.

[Leant against a nearby wall, staring Hanyuu down.]

Worried?

[muties]

Of course she is, duh. Why wouldn't she be? She's on the shortened shortlist of who did it.

[aeterna_filia]

[Kaguya just glances up from her crossword puzzle, raising an eyebrow.]

It's a fairly harmless magical attack.

[smileleftbehind]

You should still show us.

[aeterna_filia]

[With a sigh, Kaguya raises her hand and fires a small barrage of colorful magic bullets, although they look a bit different than Satori's. She does try not to hit anyone.]

[lastgirl]

You've been awfully quiet this whole time. Aren't you the least bit concerned that you might die?

[aeterna_filia]

Do you know how many times I've been killed?

[Hell, even she stopped counting after a few hundred times.]

[muties]

Deep breaths, cupcake. You're stumbling a bit.

[dhaosu]

[ Annnnd a little later after he's seen Kaguya do her thing. ]

... It looks like she gave an adequate demonstration. Do you have anything else to say in your defense? Or perhaps in your case, would you be saying that you believe it is her?

[aumygoddess]

[ Well about that... ]

[minogame]

Uhm... Hanyuu-chan, can we see your sword?

I didn't think it was important because Takao-kun wasn't slashed or stabbed but... your sword can change forms, can't it?

[aumygoddess]

[ A nod. She hands it over. ]

With an incantation, it can grow prongs.
