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.

[Good going Hinata!

Lucy also rushes in right next to her, trying to add that calming element with a surprisingly firm hand on her shoulder.]

Exactly. There's no use getting into fights like this.

[Just scream the anger out at him, tiny rage machine.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[The yelling doesn't stop even as she's caught, well before she can actually get to Vegeta, but watching him stand still just makes her even angrier. Tiny as she is, she shouldn't be all that difficult to restrain if not for all the kicking and flailing; sorry, friends (mostly Hinata), have fun with bruises.

Nothing either of them say really processes if she even hears them over all the screaming—] Let me GO! Let go, let go, let go of me! [And it's back to the shrieking again, struggling and screaming at anything and everyone until her eyes tear up and her voice starts to break and she can't anymore.

Tiny pink rage machine screaming all the anger out may or may not have actually helped.]

[He is going to be so bruised, but it's worth it because Clover is his friend? A kind of helpless glance to Lucy, and he just tightens his grip, resting his head on her shoulder to try to get through to her more clearly.]

Clover, please...

[he definitely sounds pained because being kicked by heels hurts?? the things he puts up with]

He'll get what's coming to him, c'mon, it's... it's okay.

[She doesn't back down from the flailing! She won't ditch her friend in a time like this. In fact, she actually moves to hold her back more to help out Hinata, although she is more of a hug than restraining.]

I'm sorry.

[Clover has been holding it together so well since they found the body. This is fine.]

[fourleafcleaver]

[The yelling doesn't stop until she's screamed her throat too raw to continue but, if nothing else, the flailing ends up less violent and more belligerent squirming as Lucy comes in for the hug. Nothing they're saying really means anything right now when she can't think at all past her rage. Her title of wrath was earned, damn it.

When she's out of energy she just collapses all at once, silent and still and utterly empty.

Eventually she'll have it in her to acknowledge how excellent her friends are, but now is definitely not that time.]

[Group hug for Clover, then, because when she collapses, his hold becomes less of a restraint and more of a hug. He gets it, he really does, when it comes to Selena.

It's probably a little silly-looking with 5'10" Hinata holding Clover along with short-girl Lucy, but whatever. Just going to silently hug her and hope Lucy has something valuable to say, until Vegeta's execution rolls around.]
