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.

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.

[brawlhalla]

...You mean because she'd 100% want us to know she did the thing?

[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.

[dhaosu]

Very well.

[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.

[...]

[brawlhalla]

[ ... ]

What's up?

[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.]

[detanimetion]

Please, I can handle anything this town throws at me! I won't even notice a weak thing like that!!

But Break would have a pretty hard time setting up all the framing, you have to admit! Especially with the glitter, he didn't even know what it was when we dumped it over him, how would he know which jars it was kept in? And...Gilbert really doesn't think he'd go after this motive. I know any of us might be lying, but when it's someone who isn't even on the suspect list....

[stupidly]

[STEPPIN IN TO BREAK-STAN as usual.]

It wasn't Break, but if Selena was the one targeting him, the plan we've thought up so far wouldn't have worked at all either. As in - there's no way Break would willingly accompany anyone outside at that hour, not even on a day earlier in the week.

[detanimetion]

A day ago, we probably would have said the same thing about Selena too though. You can't say that for sure.

[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.

[brawlhalla]

I feel like all our theories are pretty complicated plans so far...

[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?

[minogame]

I want to go home! That's what I want to do! And I can't go home if I change the past! I'd get taken away and scrapped or something awful and I'd never see my brothers or anyone again!

( He knows its just his word but still. )

No... I slept the whole night. I was really tired.
