week 5 - day 1 trial

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 5 trial, day 1 ♫ saturday 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. Everyone will be escorted back to the hotel by Miata, after which everyone is allowed to head to either the kitchen to get dinner, or to their rooms. Attempting to wander off into the other areas of the hotel will trigger the static alarms in everyone's heads/televisions. >Discuss? victim suspects VOTING cast setting rulebook

cheshire's bdsm collar

[stupidly]

[After reading this, one of the two old gays will be piping up, looking Distressed.]

About Cheshire's collar... No one found it?

[herbgrace]

Lucy said she didn't think he was wearing it in the morning. Is it important? [You look pretty distressed for it to just be a fashion change.]

[stupidly]

He wasn't wearing it then? [Now he's distressed and confused, because--]

The bell on that collar is something that cat would give up his life to protect.

[herbgrace]

Why? What's the significance?

[stupidly]

That bell contains Alice's memories, and it was his job to protect it at all costs.

[herbgrace]

[Magical memory bell. Why not.] So if it did go missing, it's unlikely he'd be casually trying to get breakfast from Lucy.

[crazily]

[ and here's the other one, and surprisingly, Break looks just as distressed as Gilbert for once. ]

...Why would anyone take that? [ Considering they're not suspects, he can just say it, at least: ] Did he tell anyone what it was?

[sobowtor]

[Well that's weird.]

Are you worried you won't hear his ghost coming without the bell or something??

[crazily]

That's definitely something that would worry Gilbert more than I, you realize. I'm not afraid of a stupid cat.

[ He'll call the victim stupid, he doesn't care!! He's got major grudgewank here. ]

[sobowtor]

Yeah but he really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally really didn't seem to like you.

Really.

[stupidly]

[DUAL DISTRESS.]

I have no idea... As far as I'm aware, the only person that cat was close to isn't a suspect this time. It sounds like it was missing before he met with Lucy in the kitchen, though...

[crazily]

Did anyone ever check the cat's room? Or Urashima's, since they were staying together, correct?

[ Break may have a vested interest in finding that bell that's completely separate from the fact that Cheshire is dead, though. ]

[stupidly]

[It's okay Gilbert 100% understands this vested interest... Even if that arc is like 80 chapters behind them, whatever!!]

I don't think so. Not Cheshire's, at least... I'll ask Urashima if he was still wearing the collar when he visited.

[sobowtor]

[Poland's just gonna slide. Gilbert. A very important note.]

[stupidly]

[Oh man, a very important note!! Time to open that up and read it and see if there are any messages inside and--

Oh. Nope. No, he just ends up screaming a bit...]

WHY—?!

[brawlhalla]

It was something more than a collar, then?

[crazily]

Yes. It's clear enough that we aren't friends, but I would be surprised if the cat had removed that collar. It's quite a bit more than simply that, though it doesn't quite matter here.

[brawlhalla]

Yeah. I'd ask more if one of you were a suspect, but since you aren't, I doubt anyone else would care...aside from the fact he wouldn't remove it on purpose. That helps.

[minogame]

He told me. ( Let him think, ) Ah... last week.

( Don't ask him exactly what day it was, just know that it was some time last week. )

He was... afraid you or Mr. Gilbert might take it.

[crazily]

[ Break definitely doesn't deny that concern in the slightest... ]

Did he tell you what he may have done with it? Was he wearing it during the week?

[minogame]

He always had it on him... it's weird that he didn't have it on when everyone found him because I'm pretty sure he had it when I saw him.

[mothercat]

I wonder if it he put it in his safe.

Or maybe Urashima's.

[stupidly]

That's also possible... I think the safes are always checked when the rooms are searched, at least.

[mothercat]

Yeah, I guess I didn't have to point that out. If that's what happened, we'll figure it out soon. [ Ha... ha... ] But it'd be troublesome if he hid it somewhere else, right? If it smells like him, maybe I can try sniffing around to find it.

But it might not be easy, my nose isn't as sharp here as it once was.

[ He doesn't know how relevant it is, however. It sounds like Cheshire had to be the one to hide it. ]

[stupidly]

If we can't find it in a room search, I'll come back and ask you, then. That bell can't be destroyed, so it has to be here somewhere.

[BUT THEN IT WAS IN URASHIMA'S SAFE so, problem solved.]
