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.

Seconding that.

[ wtf???????????? ]

She means Break and Gilbert need to get married.

Neither of them seem like the sort to get the other a cat.

[ what the fuck does that have to do with anything ]

Does... marriage require getting a cat...

[ she knows v little of wedding ceremonies but she's never heard of this??? ]

You're supposed to give your bride a kitten. Is that not a thing you people do?

[ ??????????????????????????????

vikings ]

No, but holy shit we should.

[ she is HERE for this tradition, MAKE IT SO ]

[ TBH HICCUP WOULD PROBABLY GIVE ASTRID ANOTHER DRAGON INSTEAD - ugh wait not that she's going to marry him!!!! or anything. roxy may have other ideas about that but HEY. ]

I don't know why you wouldn't. Unless it was updated to dragons. I wouldn't mind getting a Terror or something.

[ waggles eyebrows. sure u aren't, astrid. ]

Only if there are dragons that are like kittens! What's a Terror like?

[ roxy wins a relaxed grin. ]

Smaller. We use them for mail delivery, that sort of thing? They can be pretty playful.

Oh, cute! Ugh, I wish we had more cute animals around here.

That actually sounds like a way better idea than a ring.

[What about when the cat dies though... is the marriage over.]

Right? And way cuter! And you can't lose a kitten down a drain or anything!

[ No because it's kittens live on, clearly. ]

I... guess that's true, yeah.

[Why is that your first concern about a ring Roxy??]

It's got to be way cheaper too.

[Only the important discussions during trials, clearly.]

That's because it's a viking idea.

[ AND THEY ROCK. ]

So, invest in a cat, Hinata.

It'll probably be a while before I can give a cat to anyone.

But I'll keep that advice in mind.

That's a cute tradition. [Kitten present...]

It's practical. Mousers, and all.

[ NO, IT'S JUST CUTE... ]

Of course, but it's still cute. [Is she imagining someone giving her a kitten maybe]

...I guess. [ IS ASTRID IMAGINING THE SAME THING, MAYBE

ugh she misses hiccup horrendous haddock ]

Gilbert's afraid of cats though.

[DON'T DOXX HIM POLAND.]

Guess he can't get married, then.

[ SHE'S JOKING... ]

He will have to overcome his fear for this most sacred marriage tradition. If he doesn't, then he must not truly love Break.

No one better try to give me to them.

No.

[JUST NO. He'll just second Break's earlier no. He's tired and Victorian, Roxy.]
