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.

Yeah, but the keys were found near the clinic. They could have only gotten the keys AFTER Selena died, right? So they would have had the fire set and all this other shit going on, and then...climbed three flights of stairs, opened the door, and flipped her booklet to Break, then close the door and gone all the way back downstairs and over to the clinic to drop the keys? Without being caught by any of us?

[ THAT SEEMS NEEDLESSLY COMPLEX. ]

Isn't it easier to assume that Selena was the one who did the profile book thing?

[detanimetion]

The clinic's right across from the hotel. I guess they could have thrown the key out the window and have it land there?

[aumygoddess]

[ a nod ]

Whose windows are closest...?

[brawlhalla]

Whose rooms face the direction of the clinic?

[detanimetion]

...Vegeta's.

[brawlhalla]

I mean, I...guess that's true.

[detanimetion]

[There's a long pause.]

I'm not saying he did it, but as far as the glitter goes...it's the same color as what he's covered in. If the killer knew they'd probably start shedding pink glitter during the fight...then wouldn't it make sense for them to come prepared and try to pass it off as a red herring?

[brawlhalla]

I mean...yes, he's the only one besides you two who would have known the color of the glitter he was hit with. And I guess he's the only one who, uh, wasn't framed with anything. And everyone else who was framed has slashy weapons.

[ she doesn't like this conversation, actually, can we go back to hella suspecting break or urashima

esp urashima he isn't pride ]

[keepshispride]

First of all, I'm hardly shedding anymore. [He's still sparkly, but it's not flying off unless he tries to make it.] Secondly, wouldn't you be able to tell what colour I was hit with by looking at me?

... Thirdly, do you two idiots really think I'd waste time in the middle of a murder by playing with pink glitter?!

[brawlhalla]

[ UNLESS YOU'RE BREAK. Astrid shrugs. ]

Honestly, if either of you kill anyone I fully expect them to be dead without frills.

[ Which is why she's like ??? it clearly can't be vegeta even if all this is stuff that is true??? and also can't be undyne???? they are her favorites????????? ]

[keepshispride]

[There are people here who are not Break.]

... Right.

[Bless you, Astrid.]

[brawlhalla]

You and Undyne may not like one another, but you do have that much in common: I think you have too much pride to do...this. [ All the twisty turny lying shit. She can't buy it from them, and if that comes back to bite her in the ass someday, OH...WELL... ]

[keepshispride]

Her pride is different than mine.

[dhaosu]

Just a question. If it has been asked then ...

[ Shakes his head. ]

However, was there ever something you wished to fix? More than anything?

[keepshispride]

Of course. [Said plainly.] But I don't care about the past.

[detanimetion]

I do! [just because the image is hilarious]

But if it's not you, then maybe it's Urashima after all. [PROTECT TEAM PRIDE]

[keepshispride]

[Vegeta hesitates and seems to wrestle with that idea in his mind.]

I- ... I do think I would have woken up if he'd moved around that much.

[brawlhalla]

The only person who wasn't sharing a room was Break, right? I mean, Undyne apparently had the skeleton brothers.

[ And everyone else paired up. ]

[keepshispride]

Correct.

[...]

[detanimetion]

Hmm...yeah, it is kinda weird he'd ask to room with you and not someone who'd probably be a deeper sleeper if he was planning on killing that night.

I...just really don't think it's Break. Not unless Selena was the one targeting him.

[keepshispride]

You just don't want to get hit with any bizarre side effects after he's executed.

[But Vegeta doesn't sound convinced either.]

[brawlhalla]

Since it's pretty clear Vegeta got hit with pink glitter, that's a way to...well, make you two share a clue, still.

[detanimetion]

That's...a really complicated plan just to make us share clues.

[minogame]

It wasn't me! How many times do I have to say I'd never change the past?!

( HE'S ACTUALLY OFFENDED? LIKE??? STOP??? )

[detanimetion]

Yeah, but everyone else is saying that too! Someone here has to be lying!

You really didn't wake up at all during the night? You didn't notice anything?
