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.

[Vegeta doesn't react. He just stares Undyne down as she speaks, arms crossed and leaning against a wall. Nothing she says seems to surprise him.

Then... He smirks. Lowers his head as his shoulders shake a little from his quiet laughter.]

What the hell's so funny?!

You! Hahahah!

[Looks back up at her and smirks.] Well, well, well. I'll admit it, I'm impressed. Well done, Heroine of Justice- you defeated the Evil Saiyan Prince.

[There's a long silence where she just stares at him, stunned. Her suspicions had been building this entire trial, ever since Gilbert had defended Break so strongly and she'd seen that damn glitter...but.

She hadn't actually wanted to believe it up until this moment.]

You -- how could you? How could you?! For a motive like this! I thought you had pride! I thought you had honor!

...Yeah, I thought the same thing.

[ UGH. Undyne is the only Pride she can trust not to jump off the deep end, isn't she. ]

[That does put a crack in the facade. Vegeta scowls again.] What do you know about pride or honour? I am the Prince of All Saiyans! I'm supposed to be the strongest in the universe! But that damn fool robbed me of my pride and thanks to this entire mess I was unable to retrieve it.

This was my opportunity to reclaim my pride and honour. But I don't expect you to understand that.

What about this is funny to you?!

The whole damn mess, from start to finish! Hah...

[Breathes deeply and... yeah, it's not that funny.]

What, are you really that surprised?

... Why?

[ Someone also looks incredibly pissed off. ]

[IT'S NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT FUNNY]

You—!

[And she's too angry to even string together the rest of the sentence, to know what she'd even want to say, so all that follows is a furious, wordless shriek, and Hinata and/or Lucy will probably keep her from going through with it now that they're here, bless them, but she definitely at least starts to lunge at him.]
