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

Of course.

[He hands it over for Alisha to inspect. She's probably noticed by now, since she's seen him practice and he always wears his sword on his right hip, but Faize is left-handed. The sword itself is free of blood, and there are a few light scratches on the blade here and there. But other than that, there's nothing really of note.]

[ Yep, she's definitely noticed, and she's gently turning the blade in her hands to look it over with a practiced eye. ]

These scratches are...?

Typical wear and tear from clashing with other swords and bladed weapons. I would not be much of a swordsman at all if my sword were completely unscathed. [Because that would mean it has never seen BATTLE.] It's possible that a few of them are from my spar with Urashima on Wednesday, but otherwise, they have all been present since before my arrival here.

That's understandable... my own spear has its share of markings.

[ But she'll offer him the sword back now. ]
