seven vices case 4 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.

It's possible that Selena was the one who took the motive and attacked him.

...though that'd have to be a really shitty plan if she couldn't even off a blind guy!

[SELENA'S STRUGGLES...]

It's possible, but I don't think that's what happened either. Or - even if Selena did attack, I don't think Break was the person she attacked. For one, he wouldn't be wandering outside of his room after midnight. He knows how dangerous Thursday nights are, and he's at more of a disadvantage than most here.

If she did attack someone on the suspect list though, Break or Urashima would probably be her target. She'd be an idiot to go up against me or [grits teeth] Vegeta I guess, and Faize is immune this week.

The book in her room was open to Break's profile, remember.

Yeah! She could have totally been checking the profiles to see who seemed to be the easiest target!

[...WAIT BREAK IS ALSO ON TEAM PRIDE]

Uh...but!! Since we found her keys outside the clinic, the killer might have used them to unlock her room and open the book to his profile to make us suspect him!!

That's a possibility. We have three potential frames - or three potential clues. What fun...

[ ugh if break hit betray on team pride they should kill him tbqh

before he can give them phantom pains ]

Ugh, I hate this week's killer already! Killing over such a stupid motive like this and going out of their way to frame a bunch of innocent people? What a coward!

[Undyne is absolutely 100% on board with this plan bye Break]

Yeah. "Winning" as a killer requires you to scapegoat someone, but framing this many people...

It's pathetic! They're not just trying to avoid getting caught, they've come up with a specific list of people they want to die instead!

Another reason I don't buy you doing this.

Yeah, if I ever killed someone, I'd just come out and say it! Plus I'd never attack anyone innocent, especially if they couldn't defend themselves. [Though to be fair, her definition of innocent can be pretty flexible]

Urashima also had immunity this week, so your theory would immediately be narrowed down to Break if that were the case. But Break would have signs of being attacked, then - unless you think she didn't manage to get a single hit in.

Maybe she was just a really shitty fighter! How good is Break in a fight anyway?!

—He's stronger than he looks. That cat wasn't lying about that part. He'd be able to stand up against Selena in a fight, I'd think, but not able to walk away completely unscathed if she was seriously trying to kill him.

So you're saying we should strip him!

We always strip the suspects anyway, don't we?

[ Don't make him reveal his gross old man bod!! ]

...I would like to note that since two of the suspects are immune, this wouldn't matter. Wounds wouldn't show up on them.

So? We can still check the rest of you. The fact that two of the potentially framed suspects are immune doesn't mean a strip search isn't a good idea.

[ He can't deny this, but he still makes this face, absolutely. He's a Victorian, so he's also a prude. ]

[ W/E SHE HAS NO TIME FOR YOU PRUDES ]

Keep making that face and I'll tell Undyne she has permission to strip you.

All things considered, I have a sinking feeling that this is inevitable.

[ and for once I'm using an icon twice in a row and it's not by accident ]

I knew you were smart.

[ EMBRACE THE LACK OF VICTORIAN MORALS AROUND HERE. ]

[Already rolling up her sleeves

(why is this necessary to strip someone we just don't know]

I can strip both him and myself at the same time!

I don't mind doing it if everyone else has to...

( He never minds. He's a Kochestu. )

Everyone else has to.
