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

[ NO YOU'RE LIVING FOREVER GILBERT ]

[ Break snickers more, and it's even accompanied with a true shithead smile as he raises his sleeve to cover his mouth lightly. ]

Even so... I don't think surprise would warrant a scream like that.

[stupidly]

[YOU CAN'T STOP HIM EVERY TIME HE ALMOST DIES DAMMIT.

Also, what a punk. Gilbert's going from cat fear to Break irritation, at least... Which means he can go back to being marginally more useful!]

Who wouldn't!? [No one else did.]

[crazily]

[ That's what he's here for! He's helping, Gilbert... Can't you see... ]

Well, I didn't hear anyone else scream.

[stupidly]

[NO HE CAN'T, he's blinded by his embarrassment!!]

—Just leave it, dammit! I was only surprised! I'm fine now!

[He says while dutifully not looking over in the direction of poor Ranulf. He's come so far from those days of freezing mid-battle...]

[crazily]

There's really nowhere for me to go, you know...

[ He just has to point this out, because he's also not leaving Gilbert's side. But he might lay off for the sake of actually being helpful. We'll see on that one! ]

[stupidly]

[UGHHH STUCK IN HELL. Not that he'd leave Break's side either, but whatever, he can still complain the entire time like a truly old man.]

Then just focus on the trial!

[Like he wasn't the one who interrupted BUT WHATEVER, HE'S-- looking away from Ranulf and trying to re-focus...]
