week 5 - day 2 trial

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 5 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 ( voting closes at 10PM CST ) cast setting rulebook

The clothing store showed up this week, did it not? It would make taking something from there very easy.

Look...even if that were true, all she did was get rid of a murderer! Gilbert or Lithuania or even Papyrus could have been killed if she'd let Cheshire go through with his plan! What she did is no different than from what all of us do every time we execute someone!

[okuri]

A murder is a murder. There's no point in dragging morals into it.

[aumygoddess]

I know! I know...b-but Jansone-san said 'the suspects are there for a reason'.

[hopefragment]

...Killing someone to prevent a murder... doesn't work. Trust me.

[Hinata sounds absolutely serious about that, and the way his expression is set, it's like he's not really seeing Undyne at all.]

That's the kind of thing that only makes things worse. Seizing an opportunity instead of stopping it... that's not solving anything. That's taking advantage of someone else's plan for your own gain.

[detanimetion]

[Undyne makes a frustrated noise because...okay, she does agree with Hinata but being executed for killing a would-be murderer still doesn't sit right with her.]

Do you...think she manipulated Cheshire into killing for her then? Maybe she just - didn't know what else to do and it was too late to do anything else. [Okay, she clearly doesn't buy what she's saying, and she wasn't even that close to Lucy, but she just feels really horrible that Clover has to go through this again. At least let Lucy be on the side of justice instead of a total jerk like Vegeta!!]

[hopefragment]

...

[He opens his mouth to quickly refute that, but... that's right, there's Clover to think about. Pursuing the truth and getting the right answer should be the most important thing, but...

His voice is quiet as he clenches his fists at his sides and answers,] Yeah. If it... seems like a viable theory, someone could believe it.

[dereban]

Don't fuck with me.

[ Guess who sounds absolutely livid here? This girl. ]

Even if they killed a murderer, they still utilized the evidence that was planted to implicate me to get away with it. It's even possible that the scarf was supposed to be a red herring pointed to myself as well.

[fourleafcleaver]

How self-absorbed can you be?! Cheshire was the one who took your notebook and no one even thought of you when it came to the scarf until you mentioned it!

[dereban]

Even if Cheshire did take it, the murderer still took advantage of that! And I don't like the idea of being taken advantage of again!

[detanimetion]

[Okay, that actually does get her to hesitate because...yeah. As sure as she is that Cheshire absolutely received justice for what he did, letting someone innocent take the fall for his kill doesn't sit right with her at all.]

...we don't know if she asked him to do that or if she even knew about it. And I can't buy the scarf being a frame, not when it was her or Clover it pointed at the most.

[But yeah, she is clearly Struggling here.] But...ugh, you're right. Letting someone innocent die when you know you're the killer is still really shitty.

[unpleasantries]

She got rid of a murderer, and so will we. I'm not sure where your problem is, here.

[symbologic]

Why does that matter? Cheshire's guilt does not undo Lucy's, she still made the decision to stop him by murdering him.

[muties]

That's not gonna help with us voting tonight, though.
