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.

[ HELLO FRIEND Astrid is here to check the throat injury again. As a person with experience in bladed weaponry (and...weaponry in general), she's more likely than Hinata to be able to gauge what sort of blade caused this. Could it have been a rapier like Faize's? Faize's sword is VERY ODD so she should be able to at least figure that one out. How does it compare to the blade she borrowed from our resident goddess? ]

( The slash was made with a steady but fast hand. It's a possible but unlikely match. The injury is shallow-- just deep enough to slit her throat. For a weapon as long as Faize's, it would have to either just barely hit her from afar or been deliberately and awkwardly made up close. It was most likely made with a shorter blade. It's hard to confirm from just the neck wound itself, though. )

[ SOUNDS GOOD, THANK YOU. ]

[ HOW ABOUT A CANE SWORD? Another possible but unlikely match? ]

[vicedirector]

( Yes! )

[ OKAY SHE'S BACK WITH URASHIMA'S SWORD AND UNDYNE'S SPEAR just for the sake of completion. Or can she confirm it was probably a kitchen knife with the idea in her head and staring at the wound. ]

[vicedirector]

( If Break and Faize's swords were likely but unlikely then Undyne's spear is highly unlikely unless, again, it was made from far away and only just hit Selena.

Meanwhile, Urashima's sword is more likely but not perfect as in, the blade is closer match to the size of the wound but is still a little on the longer side so it would still be an awkward cut to make. )
