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

Your mistake is assuming I spent any time in the evening outside of my room. I prefer to remain as alone as possible, and being anywhere else runs the risk of encountering someone.

[So, basically, the answer to the first question is "nothing", because she's a pathetic shut-in who was there the whole time.]

I don't really pay attention to the time, but it was before the sun had finished setting that I retired for the night. I brought my food with me to eat in my room, as I usually do, and didn't leave my room until the next day.

I suppose the root of you not having anyone to back up where you were at that period remains true no matter what the time was exactly. ...Not that this means it was certainly you, of course, just that we can't narrow it down away from you yet.

[unpleasantries]

Of course, I understand. It's to be expected when I don't have anyone to vouch for me, but it's a risk I'm willing to take in order to preserve my own peace of mind.

Many of the people here are rather--energetic. [Chaotic. Crazy. Loud.]

[unpleasantries]

You understand perfectly. There were a few people I would have considered as roommates if the need arose, but...well. One of them was Cheshire.

[The other is probably still harassing a teenage girl.]
