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

[ SURPRISE you found the clickbait that only has a link to Old Memes-- except no, it doesn't. ]

Plans
- Find a way to restore m
- Never mind, it's not possible.
- Save them.
- Make sure HS doesn't fuck with my friends ever again.

[ There's also a link saying nsfw doc attached.doc! ]

[symbologic]

Of course, you would. Anyone would. But...labeling it in such a way seems almost...counter-intuitive to that goal.

[Really? Do not click? OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GONNA CLICK. Though, points for hiding it in your porn stash, Inaba. That part, at least, was clever. Faize double clicks, halfway expecting more lewd images to assault his poor virgin eyes but then it is not that.]

...however it would seem that you were correct. [He'll turn the screen a little again so that Hinata can read the sooper secret list. Wonder what it means.]

[...then he's gonna click on that link. Because surely it's just as innocuous as this list and just another one of Inaba's poor attempts at hiding her deets.]

[dereban]

[ CONGRATULATIONS


you've found another list, with the title "On a Scale from Dead to 10, Would You Fuck ____" Inaba, why are you so thirsty.....

Along with a list of names. Which is everyone in this town, dead or alive, you're welcome. If they're paying enough attention to the names and numbers (why this) they might at a cursory glance find their own names!! Hinata seems to be labeled as a 10 and Faize as a 7. Amazing, wow. ]

[hopefragment]

Eh?!

[What is he doing so high on that list. Surely there must be some mistake. Where is Roxy on this list, out of curiosity? Also who else are the fellow tens, whose company is he inexplicably keeping.]

Well, this is a joke... she probably put the names in at random. C'mon, there's got to be something that's going to make this worthwhile.

[symbologic]

[Also where does Alisha fall on this list, clearly they're checking out the important things here. For science.]

This is...similar to Roxy's "hot or not", I take it?

[WHY ARE EARTHLINGS SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SHIT, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. Ones they're done perusing everyone's rankings though, he's going to close out of it and work on going through everything and anything on this computer for anything else suspicious or noteworthy. Which there probably isn't but he's gotta be thorough and nose through all the computer things because THIS IS JUST HIS LIFE.]

[dereban]

[ THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ON THE LAPTOP TO NOTE although in regards to this list, Hinata is the only 10. Roxy is almost there, at a 9.5, with a note "a person to have threesomes with", and Alisha is at an 8. Make do with that information as you will, boys. ]

[hopefragment]

Similar, except I really think she's just trying to mess with anyone who's dumb enough to go through her stuff.

[Ugh... just resting his head in his hands. This is so awkward, why is he at the top of a girl's "Want to Fuck" list.]

[symbologic]

[Just focusing on going through this laptop while still carrying on a conversation with Hinata because he is a multi-tasking master like that. Just listen to his fingers fly over those keys. So much better than the sounds of eroge.]

Hm? Why do you say that?

[hopefragment]

...She put me at the top of that list, Faize. That's definitely a joke.

[Listen, his confidence is much better than it used to be, but that's still not saying too much.]

[symbologic]

I hardly see how that makes it a joke. [Still just typing and clicking away here, not even looking at Hinata because he is 2focused on the screen.] It's perfectly logical that Inaba would wish to couple with you sexually, especially when compared to the rest of us.

You are a fairly attractive Earthling male, nearest in age to Inaba, and you have many admirable qualities with regards to your personality. Frankly, I would have been more surprised had she not ranked you so highly on a list of prospective sexual partners.

[That's...that's probably a compliment? A very clinical one, but still a compliment! Why are you like this, Faize?]

[hopefragment]

[Oh my god Faize, could you sound any more clinical when you say stuff like that?? Hinata's flushing and shaking his head because no, Faize, that's not how wanting to fuck someone works?? He's pretty sure, anyway.]

I don't think being an Earthling has anything to do with it. I mean, you're way more attractive and admirable than I am, it doesn't make sense that she'd rate me more highly.

[Don't make things weird Hinata.]

[symbologic]

Of course it does. You yourself questioned whether or not I was human, did you not? You are hardly the only one here to make such an error and it's a perfectly reasonable assumption to make, given where I am from. [Like he's really not even offended that you guys keep asking him this. It's w/e.] Naturally, if you assume that I am not human, you would likely consider the fact that I may not be sexually compatible with Earthlings.

[Yup. Definitely...looking at this from the biology standpoint. Not the pleasure standpoint. Does he even realize that this has nothing to do with repopulating?]

If you assume such a thing, my other qualities hardly matter at all. Though I feel I should add that Inaba and I have spoken very little. I highly doubt I've given her any reason to find me admirable. [Briefly, he glances away from the screen, smiling a little.] Though I am pleased to hear that you still think of me as such.

[Aaaaaaand right back to the computer. Fucking incredible.]

[hopefragment]

S-sexually compatible...

[Why is he having this conversation. What is going on. He's just burying his face in his hands with a loud groan.]

Faize, compatibility doesn't have anything to do with it! Humans don't just--

[A long, drawn out noise of frustration.]

Never mind! Did you find anything else on the laptop?

[And don't think he didn't notice that glance. Ugh why dude. Stop that.]

[symbologic]

[Good idea, Hinata. Stop this before it gets any more awkward and we have to question alien dicks and if they are capable of lovemaking with Earthling orifices or not. Because really, it's not just a repopulation thing though he assumes that's a big part of it? Just look at the situation they're stuck in. It's basically the end of the world.]

Mmm...no. Nothing that stands out as odd or noteworthy.

[Probably more porn. How much porn have these poor eyes seen by now? Has he reached the point of desensitization yet? So, with that, he'll exit out of everything and close the laptop up before putting it back on the bedside table.]

What about the bathroom? It sounded as though you were...literally in the middle of something when I opened the laptop.

[hopefragment]

Ah, right!

[THE BATHROOM. He'd almost forgotten what with all the porn, and being rated a Lebensbaum's Most Fuckable According to Inaba Himeko. He shoves himself to his feet and jerks his head toward the bathroom itself.]

Come take a look at this, I found a screw on the floor... it looks like someone might have crawled through the vent in her bathroom. I can't fit into myself.

[symbologic]

[Look of mild surprise and intrigue.]

So someone may have been able to break into her room after all? All of our suspects save for Bill are fairly small...

[Save Bill 2kalways]

[He'll just go look at the vent and probably try and stick his head in there too but since even Clover can't fit in there, Faize definitely can't. Even if he's smaller than Hinata.]

[hopefragment]

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

[LET'S INVESTIGATE except hm, Faize can't fit either.]

We should go back and tell the others what we've found. Uh.... maybe leave most of the stuff from the laptop out of it, though.

[symbologic]

I think that would be best... With regards to both points.

[Let's never speak of this again...]

[Though he's gonna re-make Inaba's beds before leaving because again: not rude.]
