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

[ waves a hand dismissively ]

Yeah, yeah. I'm on the case or whatever.

[ team shady represent?! ]

[stupidly]

[TEAM SHADY REPRESENT.]

—By the way, in case that cat goes at it again, the bruises on Selena's arm could be a match for that burnt stick, too. He immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was Break's cane.

[HE'S MAD.]

[jackhole]

Oh.

[ a glance over at cheshire and he runs his fingers through his hair. hm. ]

Yeah, I never listen to what he says. He's pretty dumb. It was probably the stick. Otherwise, why would a stick be there?

[stupidly]

[Gilbert says nothing verbally but his expression says I AGREE.]

Some people thought it may have been used to start the fire or aid it somehow, but it may have had two uses.

[ team shady disapproves of felines, what up ]

Beating Selena and setting the fire?

[ wait ]

-- I also want to go on record that I am massively uncomfortable with the phrase "beating Selena". With a stick! Really! Come on, have more class, murderer!

[stupidly]

[Look even Morrigan was a dog person (literally), it all works out!]

We should probably figure out why they did that too, considering she was stabbed. Why hit her with the broom? They may have been trying to disarm her, but I don't see why if they had a sword on hand.

[aumygoddess]

Perhaps she was fighting with her killer before she used her tome? Or it was knocked out of her hands afterward, and they struggled? Intentional framing is also an option. [ sigh ]

[stupidly]

[HE'S TIRED.]

I think it's safe to say the bruising came before or at about the same time as the stabbing, at least.
