week 7 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 7 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? victims suspects cast setting rulebook

I love this dragon - [Is Bill's immediate response as he continues feeding Stormfly. It's not even going to take lying dragon eyes to get him to do that tbh. It's not like he's ever had any sort of animal companion before that he actually needed to worry about over feeding or spoiling, he doesn't know any better.]

Oh but I did find... [He pulls the kitchen knife out from under the pillow with one hand, holding it up to show Roxy.] This!

[He's gonna just look that over a little honestly. Is it clean? Has it seen use?]

I don't know if this is murder-y or not though. She could just have it to defend herself with right?

[brawlhalla]

[ THANKS FOR SPOILING STORMFLY, BILL, i say, like Astrid doesn't do the same fucking thing...Stormfly will companionably headbutt Bill as she purrs and continues to consume snacks. Tonight, Astrid will go to the snack section of her room and have a headache.

As to the knife, it seems to be entirely clean and doesn't seem to have seen any use. He's probably right about the defense thing, though the only way to know for sure would be to ask. ]

Probs. We can ask her, but no one got stabbed this week anyways. Er, that I remember.

[ And Roxy's mostly sure a knife won't SEVER A HEAD... ]

[billarious]

[You're welcome Astrid! But it looks clean enough, so he'll just slip it back under the pillow. They can make a note of it and ask Astrid, but they probably don't need to bring it? Plus how can he accept these headbutts and the purring if he has a knife in one hand? He can't, and that just isn't right. That hand would be better used feeding Stormfly more. Or petting her. Or both.]

Yeah, probably for the best. I can't think of anything else to search in here really, and I'm sure this sweet pea wouldn't be hiding anything from us so I don't know. Think we're done here?

[ STORMFLY HELPFULLY CONTINUES TO LAVISH ATTENTION ON BILL she will completely follow them to the door but not leave the room if they're done and leaving...she's apparently under orders not to leave. ]

[ Aw but the dragon is evidence of how cuddly Astrid really is!! ]

Yeah, we done. Let's head out.

[billarious]

Alrighty!

[The dragon is absolutely evidence they are in agreement here obviously she needs to come with. But she gets some extra love before he'll actually leave when she just stops at the door ugh he doesn't wanna leave her behind but he gotta. He'll ask to visit again!!!!]
