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

[Dhaos is tagging out so Clover just turns to Hinata with the outfit still her hands. The grin has not gone away.] It's terrible! [SHE SOUNDS SO EXCITED??? but okay okay she's putting it back, snickering all the while—except first she drops it in the glitter because of course she does, and when she goes to pick it back up (she's putting it at the VERY FRONT of the closet so Morrigan knows for a fact that she saw this monstrosity), she notices the stuff that's fallen.

First she picks up the hat.] This is terrible too. Oh, hey. [Just fuckin tossing the hat back onto the ground so she can pick up the envelope. Clover looks it over to see if there's anything interesting on the outside, and then goes ahead and tears it open.]

[hopefragment]

Clover...

[He knows you did that on purpose, but he's not going to go any further than that. Because hey, Morrigan is kind of an asshole! And it's already been done so kanyeshrug.gif

Carefully opens the jar and smells it to confirm that yep, sure does seem to be some weird homemade bodywash. Smells nice though! He'll replace it back where he found it, and after exiting the bathroom, move on to the dresser. Time to steal some panties-!! Except not really, he doesn't want to go through her undies, but he has to look for evidence. Why is his life so hard.]

Did you find anything besides weird witch clothes...?

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos hears the sound of tearing and he figures that it may be something that shouldn't be tearing. Luckily, he notices it is not an item worth too much concern, and the man checks out the safe to see if anything incriminating was hidden in there or what not. ]

Hopefully she has...whilst not making too much of a mess.

[disapproved]

[ there's nothing interesting on the outside, but inside is a letter. actually, a few! they're all the same thing, though, except some of things scribbled out. the only one that doesn't reads: ]

Mother,

I cannot shake the notion that you have your finger in this particular pie. You are dead, and I, the one responsible for your death, but I always knew it would not be so simple. You loathe simplicity.

Regardless, you will not have him. You will not even know his name. He means more than you or I, more than the warden herself, he is Urthemiel, powerful and beautiful, and he will change the currents of Thedas. He will not be merely a means to your plotting.

Consider this my diatribe against you.

M.

[ hinata, you really don't want her panties. there's nothing exciting in the drawer, just unmentionables, undershirts, normal non-witchy and non-murderous things. ]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Clover really only half-reads the letter before tucking it back into the torn envelope.]

Nothing that has to do with anything. [None of it means anything to her but it must mean something to Morrigan so she just kind of...puts it back in the weird hideous outfit she's put up front so Morrigan can find it again...... This is the closest thing to good intentions she's had in the past hour.

She's just gonna...lean into the closet, untie one pigtail, and tie it back up again. There's a continuous small shower of glitter as this occurs.]

[Since Dhaos is rummaging around in the safe already, she's gonna go pull apart the desk drawers.]

[hopefragment]

[He saw that! But he's going to pretend he didn't. He's also going to pretend he didn't have to go through all those panties and unmentionables, moving the clothes aside to check underneath them to make sure there's no body parts or weird drugs!! Or something.

With Dhaos having checked the beds and the safe, and Clover having thoroughly bedazzled the closet, Hinata goes to check the bedside table, paying close attention to the pads of paper. Any incriminating words or doodles?]

Yeah, I haven't found anything yet either. I.. don't know that we're going to, I mean, everyone has to know by now that rooms are going to be searched.

[dhaosu]

[ In the midst of searching the safe, he does decide to put out his two cents. ]

Although just for the sake of insurance, we will need to keep doing so in the event someone will believe us to slip up and not conduct room searches.

Even if we haven't found anything in a suspect's room this time.

[fourleafcleaver]

[okay well if Morrigan's room is clean Clover's just gonna go back to ruining it real quick

so she heads back to the closet once she's done shaking hair glitter on Morrigan's desk and picks up that terrible hat again. Look at this shit. She wanders around the room with it, looking deeply contemplative, like there's something she's trying to figure out about it.]

Hm. Hey, Hajime, hold this for a sec. [and if shoving this into his hands works she's gonna try to steal her glitter back out of his pocket Clover why are you the way you are]
