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.

[don't worry, Lithuania, he knows this is really about you wanting to hear Peekaboo Fluffy Skeleton]

I AM FAR TOO BUSY FOR SLEEP!!! SOMEONE HAS TO KEEP SANS ON THE UP AND NARROW.... HE'S ALWAYS NAPPING AT NIGHT!!!

You don't sleep at all? [Staring a little.] Then--that means you must have seen Undyne in the room with you all night, right?

YES. WE HANG OUT ALL THE TIME.... ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT!!!

. . .

SHE... PREFERS BEDTIME STORIES FOR BABIES.

[he means anime]

UNLIKE ME, WITH MY VERY REFINED TASTE!!!

Right, that--fluffy bunny book you mentioned. [Or something...] You should write down that you were awake all night in the room with her by Undyne's alibi so everyone knows she probably isn't the killer.

[im sure u love seeing this skele after he went thru ur drawers last time.]

fluffy skeleton, actually. couldn't find fluffy bunny in the library here.

[BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT?????]

Was that something that you found here?

nah. nothing in this place is, uh. appropriate. [...for... adult... skeletons????] so i'm just kinda making it up as it goes. it's a lot more effort than i usually put into, well, anything, but my bro gets cranky without a bedtime story.

Even though he doesn't sleep? [Lithuania is genuinely curious. How do you guys even work.]

it's more of a habit than anything else. he actually slept through the night when he was a baby bones.

[skeletons... can age... apparently...]

[Oh, right, Sans is the older one.] Was he a small skeleton? Like how a human child is small? Or--how young animals are small, if you don't know how human children look. [Please know about one of these two things.]

you having trouble with the whole baby bones concept, lady? it's pretty straightforward. it's probably hard to imagine my bro that short, though, i get it.

[yes that's clearly the problem here]

I-I'm sorry if I'm being rude! I just don't understand how monsters work, that's all. [Lithuania is taking this more seriously than she should, but that's how she rolls.]

nah, it's cool. if you want the answer to that one though, it's real simple.

[...he doesn't say it, though]

The answer to how monsters work? [Or to Papyrus being tiny? She thinks she gets that, at least.]

yep. it works for all monsters. ghosts, fish, goats, skeletons, lizards, dogs, cats, boss, fire, killer robots... even jerry.

[this list makes no sense.]

Edited (*adds to the list to make it stupider*) 2016-03-13 04:57 (UTC)

Jerry? [Isn't that just a name...]

SANS!!! DON'T BRING THAT UP!! IT'S EMBARRASSING!!

[he is the worst]

[yes, yes he is.]

I AM AWESOME!!!

BUT IT'S.... FAR TOO AWESOME FOR HUMAN EARS!!! THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE AWESOME.

that's fair... though, i think as a baby bones, you were more awwsome than awesome.

[THATS NOT EVEN A PUN]

[well, he is very cute.... AT ALL TIMES]

FLUFFY SKELETON. MAYBE MY BROTHER WILL READ IT TO YOU, TOO.

[but he doesn't get it]

WHY?? EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS IT WASN'T UNDYNE!!! THERE AREN'T ANY SPEARS ANYWHERE, AND SHE'S NOT MONOLOGUING DRAMATICALLY ON TOP OF A ROOFTOP!

Edited 2016-03-13 04:16 (UTC)

It's just to prevent confusion. Not everyone knows Undyne as well as you.

[hmmm....]

NYEH HEH HEH!! I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!

[HE'S HELPING]
