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

Yeah, but your strength isn't gonna get you out of the game to fix your regrets if you had them? The only thing that's going to get you out of this game is to kill someone, win a trial, and then go home and fix your shit.

... Actually, wait! Then you would be using your own strength to fix your regrets! By using your strength to murder someone! Then, hey! Killing to achieve your goals! If your goals were to leave the game to fix your regrets! See, man. It all comes around.

[ you really want to go on this logic dance with rhys, vegeta? do ya? ]

I won't get out of this mess by killing someone any sooner than if I just waited it out. [Nods in Buddy's direction.] She's still here, isn't she?

[jackhole]

But she... killed someone... and pinned it on someone else?

[ squints?? your logic is flawed here, vegeta. ]

[keepshispride]

... Yes. She killed someone and got away with it. As you are implying I am currently trying to do. But she's still stuck here with the rest of us!

[ waves his hands dismissively. calm down, calm down. ]

Noooo, no. I'm implying that your pride could totally lead you to murdering someone to fix your mistakes. Motives! I'm not at the "how you did it" part of the accusation yet, bro.

I'm proud, not illogical. Killing someone won't get me home any sooner and I don't care about "turning back time" or however we're interpreting this stupid incentive. Figure out what my actual goal would have been if I killed that woman and then maybe you'll have a sensible argument.
