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

[earie]

Isn't that just doing what my parents want me to do, then?

[herbgrace]

Er--I don't think so? Think of yourself as your own person, that's what I mean. If you don't like your name you could pick another.

[earie]

[ Thinking. ] ... Lithuania?

[herbgrace]

...That's my name.

[earie]

I can't think of any other names. [ None at all. ]

[herbgrace]

Maybe you should stick with Sadie for now and work out who you are first. Then everything else should come more easily.

[earie]

Lithuania #2 isn't so bad. [ But fine. She shrugs. ] I guess I'll try.

[herbgrace]

Trying is a good start. [Good job, Sadie! Relatively!]

[okuri]

[ So he's been listening because this conversation hits several issues for him, and he's just going to butt in here:]

Sometimes it's better if someone else gives you the name... you'll know when you hear the right one.

[earie]

[ This is why they're sloth buddies. ]

Really? Did that happen to you?

[okuri]

[ ...]

Yes. I knew as soon as he said it.

[earie]

Was it a close friend? Because the only friends I have are the ones who call me Chanel #3. [ Where is she going to find more friends to give her a new name. ]

[okuri]

At the time, no. I had only known him for a week or so.

[earie]

Oh. That makes it easier.

... Do you know any names?

[okuri]

No. But my name is a combination of two words put together. "Yoi" from night and "te" from wind, in Japanese.

...you could try something similar.

[earie]

So I could be Nightwind? [ No that doesn't seem right. ] It just reminds me of Batman.

[okuri]

[Shaking his head.] I meant putting two words together.

[earie]

Oh. That's not a bad idea. With, like, my favorite things. [ She smiles. ] Thanks, man.

[americanbeauty]

[countdown until Sadie just takes Earmuffs as her real and true name...]

[okuri]

You're welcome. [Well that worked out.]
