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

It's simply a waiting game. If I sit back and do nothing, it'll be over before I know it.

[lastgirl]

What the hell does that mean? You could easily be killed here, maybe even today.

[aeterna_filia]

Those who have taken the Hourai Elixir exist beyond the concepts of life and death.

[muties]

You might wanna forget them concepts, because you could for real die here.

[aeterna_filia]

If so, at least I beat her to it.

[lastgirl]

Yet another thing I don't have a goddamn clue about.

You know, I think someone like you, who "exists beyond concepts of life and death", wouldn't give a shit about killing another person.

[aeterna_filia]

My rival.

[She's pretty sure that's an accurate term.]

What reason would I have to?

[lastgirl]

Anyone who kills, and gets away, is guaranteed to not have to deal with this anymore. No one can kill you and you can escape whenever this is over.

[aeterna_filia]

Have I already not made it clear that dying is not a concern for me?

[lastgirl]

And I'm just supposed to believe you?

Immortals like you were heavily affected by the time changes. You may have an eternity to live, but do you want to spend it here? I doubt it.

[aeterna_filia]

As I said before, it's a waiting game.

I've had to wait centuries for something to amuse me before.

[Shrug.]

[lastgirl]

And does this game amuse you?

[aeterna_filia]

More or less. It could be more amusing.

[lastgirl]

How so?

[aeterna_filia]

I honestly expected more running around and the like.

[She's used to things being much flashier back home.]

More noise, more...well, anything.
