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

If I had to kill someone... I would want it to be as fast and painless as possible. Maybe they did too but it got out of hand and they felt guilty later.

[brawlhalla]

This isn't about "had to". No one held a knife to anyone's throat, here. The killer made a choice to kill.

[minogame]

But I don't think they would have done it if without the motive!

[brawlhalla]

That doesn't mean anything. An incentive and "have to" are still really different, you know. If someone is going to kill people, the least they can do is take responsibility for doing it.

[ THEY DID THE DO. ]

( He knows Astrid is right! But he also thinks he's right. So which one is more right... ugh, it's pretty obvious and Urashima is quiet. He's really too nice for this. )

... Yes.

Trying to get another innocent person killed even after everything that's happened isn't good.

( But he's still not going to be happy even if they're right. )

[brawlhalla]

It isn't. By letting us vote for whoever, they're making the decision to kill - again.

[ and this time presumably it won't be merciful and drugged out or whatever. ]

You're a nice guy, but the world isn't always a nice place. Okay?

[disapproved]

An attempt to humanize our beloved culprit will not a decision help us reach.

[ chill with the bleeding heart urashima ]

I-I know that...!

( He really does! )

I just feel... really sorry for them too...
