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

... Good evening, Urashima.

[ Dhaos catches Urashima just as he was about to enter into the hotel, pausing in his step. ]

Is there something on your mind?

[minogame]

Well... ( He glances down the sidewalk and back, ) I was just wondering why she was there...

[dhaosu]

[ ... ]

Yes. Since it's clear she went willingly with the killer...if anything I surmised she was lead into doing some activity with glitter. Perhaps to spice up the police station in the same way the school-house was.

[ It's unfortunate they can't really tell for sure...but he has been wondering about it. ]

[minogame]

So late at night, though? I've been thinking about that... it must have been a really good reason for her to leave her room.

[dhaosu]

At first the killer could have conjured up a tale. Perhaps that they were in some sort of distress or required assistance with something. She does not seem the type to ignore someone's plight.

[minogame]

So they tricked her because she's a good person...?

[dhaosu]

I thought about it as a possibility. Or they could have staged some sort of elaborate trick that could have nothing to do with her generosity.
