week 4 - trial; day 2

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 4 trial, day 2 ♫ sunday 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, after which everyone is expected to have cast their votes. >Discuss? victim   suspects      VOTING cast setting VOTING TENTATIVELY CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT CST.

... Surely any warrior would be as adept with one hand as the other. Especially with their preferred weapon.

[He knows he can punch someone just as well with his right hand as his left!! But he is not a samurai, more's the pity.]

[minogame]

Uh...

( Why are you trying to make his life hard, Vegeta... )

[keepshispride]

What?! Are you telling me that if I broke one of your arms you'd just be completely defenseless?

[That's just crazy]

[minogame]

I've only had arms for a year!

[hopefragment]

...Please don't break anyone's arms here.

[THE IMPORTANT STATEMENTS]

[earie]

Dude, it's super hard to write with your left hand. Or whatever hand you don't use. I'm pretty sure slicing someone open is even harder.

[keepshispride]

Writing is one thing, fighting is another. What would you do in battle if your right hand was injured? Just give up and die?

[earie]

Absolutely. [ Vegeta she's sloth. ] But also, no one here has an injured hand. That we know of.

[symbologic]

When it comes to martial arts, that is likely the case. But it is not always the case with weapons like swords. It's much like writing, in that regard.

[Can you write with both hands, Vegeta?]

[minogame]

Yeah! You learn to use it with one hand and that becomes your dominate one unless you train extra hard with both hands.

[keepshispride]

[MAYBE HE CAN YOU DON'T KNOW HIS LIFE]

Tch. Pathetic.

[symbologic]

[PROVE IT WISE GUY.]

I have other means of fighting without my sword, you know. And just because my left hand is dominant, does not mean I could not use my right hand at all, if the situation was dire enough. [As in life or death.] But the cuts would not be clean, as is the case we are currently presented with.

[hopefragment]

I don't know... Faize has told me way before this motive that he was adept with swords, but never mentioned daggers or any kind of shorter blade. I think Roxy has a good idea about having people demonstrate their skill with both hands though, just to be safe.

[aumygoddess]

What kind of blades? Beleth-san's profile says his weapon is an "Eldarian Rapier"...is that anything like a regular rapier? I do not know much about fencing, as my specialty is using Japanese blades, but rapiers and katana and the like are made very differently. Thrusting versus slashing. Could a rapier have made the wound on Selena-san's throat?

[brawlhalla]

I can check if you want.

[ SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE ON THIS TOPIC. SHE CAN HELP. ]

[hopefragment]

I don't know for sure. That's definitely a question for Faize himself. Can't anything with a blade be used for slashing in an emergency?

[He's got no clue, save him]

[detanimetion]

Yeah! I can throw my spears easily with either hand! Any decent fighter would know that their first step is to overcome any weaknesses they might have!

[hopefragment]

I don't know much about actually using a sword, but I kind of feel like that might be different. Throwing versus actually learning an entire sword style with one hand, right?

[detanimetion]

Using a spear is just as complex as using a sword! I can fight with my spear using both hands too even without throwing it! [clearly the most important point here]

[keepshispride]

Exactly!

[EVEN UNDYNE AGREES WITH HIM he wins]

[sobowtor]

Being left handed used to mean that you were one with the Devil.

So. [Poland's looking at her hands.] Yeah. I'm too old to be ambidextrous now.

[hopefragment]

Wait, really?

[Poland breaking out the random history! Hinata looks surprised.]

That seems pretty weird.

[sobowtor]

Yeah. If I was ever left handed when I was little, I'm sure Prussia probably beat it out of me.

... Little psycho.

[Maybe she should start working out her left hand anyway. Out of spite.]

[symbologic]

[Looking genuinely surprised because HE'S NEVER HEARD THIS???]

[sobowtor]

I don't think it applies to aliens though.

...

Do aliens have hell?
