week 4 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

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. >Discuss? victim   suspects      cast setting rulebook

So you're saying we should strip him!

[stupidly]

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

[crazily]

[ 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.

[brawlhalla]

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.

[crazily]

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

[brawlhalla]

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

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

[crazily]

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 ]

[brawlhalla]

I knew you were smart.

[ EMBRACE THE LACK OF VICTORIAN MORALS AROUND HERE. ]

[crazily]

[ no he'll keep his delicate sensibilities!!! ]

[detanimetion]

[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!

[brawlhalla]

[ i mean, astrid thinks this option seems like the most fun for her so: ]

Go for it.

[crazily]

Wh— [ No, now he's just getting straight up flustered. ] Why are you so enthusiastic about this!?

[detanimetion]

Because I wanna get all the clues out as soon as possible, duh! Why are you being so weird about it? Got something to hide? Huh?!

[crazily]

[ his shame, mostly ]

I— Well, no, nothing that would be relevant to any of you. [ He definitely hides the Incuse on his chest, but only Gilbert and Cheshire would understand what that means, and they're both aware of it in different ways. ]

It's just... improper. Where I'm from, at least.

[detanimetion]

Why? [Looking him up and down, not that he can tell.] You don't seem to be that ugly for a human.

[crazily]

[ thanks undyne... ]

It's not that, but modesty.

[detanimetion]

...you're not that hot for a human.

[crazily]

[ oh my god ]

...Not for that reason.

[ He's at least being whittled down by not wanting to have this conversation, though. ]

If we're going to do something like this, can we at least be done with it. [ His tone is so flat that it's not even a question. ]

[minogame]

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

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

[brawlhalla]

Everyone else has to.

[ ASTRID HOFFERSON HAS DECREED IT SO. ]
