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

[What's going on over here?? A TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE? IS THERE A MAGICAL GIRL IN THEIR MIDST--

Ah no, it's just a cat.

From the other side of the room, there's a LOUD CHOKING SCREAM and then just total silence...]

[ ........

..................................... ]

Is Nightray-san afraid of cats...?

[stupidly]

Th-that's— That cat-- That's a huge cat—?!

[Nightray-san is indeed afraid of cats...]

[aumygoddess]

Yes...?

[ gilbert you're so hueg tho ]

[crazily]

[ And here's Break to be a Truly Supportive Friend. ]

Ahhh, Gilbert, now's not the time to cry, you know... I know this is a true terror for you, but still...

[stupidly]

[Wow... What would he do without Break and his chiller font, honestly.]

I... I'm not going to cry—!!

[ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT, GILBERT.]

[crazily]

[ live longer, probably ]

Hmm~! You say that, and yet I definitely hear the beginnings of tears in your voice! You can't fool a blind man on that sort of thing. ♥

[brawlhalla]

[ GIL GETS A "WHAT THE HELL" LOOK FROM THE VIKING. ]

[stupidly]

[HE FELT A FEAR, VIKING. He felt a fear. He'll be staying on this side of the room... even though this area is so small.......]

[hopefragment]

[FELLOW PUNCHING BAG...

A sympathetic, if incredulous glance from Hinata before the teen goes back to checking out said cat's claws and teeth.]

[stupidly]

[THANKS FOR THE SYMPATHY, FELLOW PUNCHING BAG!!!! At least he didn't pass out or barf...]

[americanbeauty]

[Gil... The last trial is over. You no longer have to prove your innocence by being a wimp so buck up.]

[stupidly]

[LOOK..........

All very good points. He'll be okay... just give him a second, he'll stay in this corner where he doesn't impede investigation with his Cat Fear™... probably.]

[dhaosu]

[ Did someone just get murdered?!



... No it's just a nervous human named Gilbert. ]

...

[stupidly]

[Ah, he's drawing attention... No one look at his shame...]

S-sorry...

[Just gonna slink into the corner over here nothing to see NOTHING TO SEE.]

[fluorospar]

[Gilbert???? Are you okay.........

A LOUD CHOKING SCREAM is cause for concern, okay... even if she just kind of looks over in a befuddled sort of way.]

[stupidly]

[Once he catches her look, he's suitably embarrassed. Good work, Gilbert.]

I just... wasn't expecting... c-cat—

[Why is it always cats, honestly...]

[fluorospar]

... A cat.

[Ah.]

I see. I wish you luck in this trying time, Gilbert.

[herbgrace]

It says on his profile card that he can turn into a cat, you know. [Gilbert...]

[stupidly]

[DON'T JUDGE HIM HE'S OLD AND TIRED.]

It's different, seeing it happen out of nowhere like that—!!

[herbgrace]

[Don't call yourself old in front of her!] You should make sure to pay attention to the conversations going on. [All of them. Multitask a thousand times over.]

[minogame]

( WHY IS EVERYONE STARING AND PICKING ON TALL TURTLE INSTEAD OF ASKING, )

Mr. Gilbert?! Are you okay!?

[stupidly]

[Because he rightfully deserves all of the stares and teasing, Urashima... Please don't be such a pure bean...]

I— There's just— No one said there would be a cat.

[jackhole]

[ did you think you would escape just because the player is late as hell, gilbert?? no. ]

Ha ha. Freak.

[ yeah ]

[stupidly]

[what in the fuck, betrayed by weenie hut jr's manager]

—It just startled me!!
