week 3 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 3 trial, day 1 ♫ saturday 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 6PM, the trial will adjourn. Everyone will be escorted back to the hotel by Miata, after which everyone is allowed to head to either the kitchen to get dinner, or to their rooms. Attempting to wander off into the other areas of the hotel will trigger the static alarms in everyone's heads/televisions. >Discuss? victims   suspects      cast setting rulebook

[Hanyuu...

If anything, Hinata just nods, looking a little discomforted. He'd been hoping for like, housecat or something similar so it'd be easier to prove that it couldn't possibly be him, but... yeah. That doesn't seem likely.]

Do you mind staying like that for a minute? How long can you stay that way?

[Crouches down to try to get a look at his claws. How sharp are they? Are they flesh-rendingly sharp?]

[mothercat]

[ His ears flick back over to Hinata. Time with Hanyuu is over, he supposes. He pads over and just... looks at Hinata, head tilted to the side.

Hopefully Hinata can guess that means he can't verbally communicate like this. He can still understand everyone just fine though! So he sits down and holds up one of his paws.

Those claws are sharp. They might even be able to cut through steel. ]

[Ah, okay. He should have figured cat vocal chords wouldn't allow for human speech.

Instead he'll just nod and focus his attention on the claws. They... certainly are sharp, yeah. Evidence bullet get.]

And... could you open your mouth, too?

[This is so bizarre to him, he's so sorry.]

[mothercat]

[ He raises his head and opens his mouth!

His fangs are sharp, long, and many! If he bites anything with these teeth, there's no doubt they'll sink in nice and smooth and make an impression. ].

[Hinata grimaces, revealing that his own teeth are not nearly impressive, just boring human ones.]

I... see. Thanks. Can you stay like that for a while, while we figure out something for you to bite? You can just... nod, I guess. Or shake your head if you have to turn back.

[mothercat]

[ He nods. To further showcase that, hey, you have a bunch of time, Ranulf yawns and lays down on the ground.

He's not going anywhere. ]
