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

[Just grasping at what he can of Vegeta's wrist, depending on how he's being held. Help him?]

Shut up! Ow!

[His head?? His ahoge is going to pierce the ceiling (and the heavens) (no it won't actually)]

Seriously?!

[keepshispride]

[Okay, this got boring (and Buddy scolded him) so Vegeta finally drops back down onto the floor. Probably a little faster than Hinata would like, but whatever, he's fine. Then Vegeta (gently) drops Hinata onto the floor.]

There.

[hopefragment]

[HITS THE GROUND and just stays there for a bit. Please no one else pick him up without warning, he's looking a little pale.]

[princessantly]

Are you all right?!

[ Okay, look, she won't haul him up, but she is hovering nearby. ]

[hopefragment]

Yeah... I'm fine.

[A little bruised and in pain from being repeatedly hoisted and dropped and banged into the ceiling but you know. As you do.]

I really don't think any of that provided any evidence, though.

[NO SHIT, SHERLOCK.]

[createdamonster]

Anyone could have probably told you that. This is just wasting more time...

[hopefragment]

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

[princessantly]

I... no, likely not. This seemed a bit more like bullying.

[hopefragment]

Yeah, thought so.

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

[muties]

[ Pats on the shoulder. ]

See? You're a hero.

[ weak laugh ]

[hopefragment]

[Just groans unhappily at her. He heard her tell Vegeta to pick him up!]

[muties]

[ She thought it would be more helpful than it was... ]

Don't worry, by tomorrow this will all be a distant memory... We can outlaw the picking up and flying around of people from now on.

[ SINCE IT WAS USELESS ]

[hopefragment]

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

[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 ]

[brawlhalla]

[ HAULS HIM TO HIS FEET by the back of his shirt. Um.

Does this count as picking him up????? MAYBE A LITTLE. ]

[hopefragment]

[Yelps a little and stumbles but hey he made it to his feet, congrats.]

...Thanks.

[GUARDEDLY. Is she going to try to hoist him over her head now. She could probably do it.]

[brawlhalla]

My turn, right?

[ YEP. SHE IS. although unlike the other two, Astrid does have to use both arms.

??????????????

this is stupid ]

[lastgirl]

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

[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?

[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]

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.

[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!

[brawlhalla]

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

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

[hopefragment]

[UGH LISTEN he'll headbutt her with his ahoge.

Except not really, all he can do is struggle uselessly to get her to loosen her grip.]

This is a waste of time, put me down! What are you even trying to prove?!

[brawlhalla]

[ um obviously she is trying to prove she can lift him?????????

like undyne and vegeta ASTRID HOFFERSON IS A TAD COMPETITIVE. She does drop him onto his feet, though. ]

You need to train. Like, a lot. Do you have any muscles? [ you're like toothpick hiccup strong, dude ]
