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

Mm... If there was ever any note, the killer probably disposed of it. Did anyone here know Selena well enough to be able to tell what might have motivated her to go out there?

[detanimetion]

I didn't know her that well, but I always thought she seemed like a pretty smart and reasonable person. So the killer's likely someone she really trusted, or we're missing something.

[stupidly]

If she was originally the attacker, I guess "how did she get there" or "who did she trust" wouldn't matter, but I'm still not certain I buy that theory.

[detanimetion]

Yeah, I'm not sure that's the case either. Like you said, the only one she would have targeted out of the five of us if she wanted a chance of surviving the fight is Break.

If you really do think he's innocent though, then I bet the killer used her keys to go into her room and open her profile book to frame him. He couldn't have done it himself since...blind and all.

...or maybe she just had a really big crush on him, who knows!

[stupidly]

I don't think that's the case... [The crush thing, anyway.] But I think it's likely that he was framed. If the killer had all of that time between actually killing Selena and setting the fire, they had time to set everything else up, too. Er - though... There was that smudge of ash outside of Faize's door, right? Regardless of whether or not the killer was Faize, that means they probably returned to the hotel just after setting the fire too, right?

[detanimetion]

Unless Faize somehow didn't notice ash on his hands, it sounds like they framed everyone except Vegeta!

I think so? I don't think we found any other sources of ash they could have used. Unless it was cigarette ash! [SUSPICIOUS STARE]

[stupidly]

I'm not even a suspect this time! ...And I don't just wander around rubbing cigarette ash on doors!

[GOD, UNDYNE who do you think he is.]

[detanimetion]

Maybe someone stole your cigarette ash! You had a ton of it lying around your room! Did you check to see if it was emptier than usual?! [TAKE OFF YOUR GILBERT MASK TOUKO!!]

[stupidly]

[STOP TRYING TO GET HIM TO TAKE HIS GILBERT MASK OFF!!!!]

It's in my ashtray, not just "lying around my room"! Anyway, I didn't check, but no one could have gotten into my room without my key and I was talking to Break the entire time he was in mine. I would have noticed if he tried to stuff a handful of ash into his pocket or something.
