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

If the killer were capable enough, we could say they could have somehow got the drop upon the two whilst they were in combat, and forced the drugs upon them if they happened to wind up unconscious or otherwise unable to counter. Then, perhaps in that order, they were drugged and then brutally killed?

[ Unsure. Why can't murders be simple? ]

I dunno...the killer would have to already have had the drugs on them for that to happen, so either they somehow already knew Youko and Zelos would be fighting each other when they walked in or they just got really lucky. And carry painkillers on them all the time for some reason?

Unless you're also thinking that they were working with one of the victims.

...They could have been. Although unfortunately, it is still difficult to tell.

Yet, I cannot think of a reason of the two willingly taking those drugs.
