week 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? setting rulebook |

And... ...is... is Dhaos asking him for input on the pink outfit? Is that what's going on here? Ranulf does look at it with a raised brow and isn't sure what to say. ] I don't think being aggressive is a bad thing during trials. [ As for the outfit... He nods to it. ] It's not to my taste, but who am I to put down someone else's sense of fashion?
[ There you go, Dhaos. Ranulf fashion opinion. Confusing.
And aha!! Someone else keeps their shit in drawers. He knew he wasn't the only one! Except he's not going to touch the bones because he doesn't know where they came from. Instead he slowly closes the drawer and goes to the window. Who knows, maybe there's something out there? Time to open it up and look out it! ]
no subject
...oh wait never mind, the spaghetti's been placed in the bathroom vent. Which has been firmly taped shut. Take no chances. Other than that, everything in the bathroom looks normal.
There's nothing unusual about the window or outside of it!]
no subject
[ ... ]
I think it looks awful as well. She's not here, so you can say whatever you may like.
[ He pauses at the vent...what the heck. Then he goes out of the bathroom to check out the safe. ]
no subject
Very unexpected indeed. So unexpected that Ranulf spends the next minute staring toward the bathroom and not investigating the very innocuous room. Once he collects himself, he answers! He's awfully amused. ]
Aha! So you were hoping to hear something negative. I wouldn't have expected it from you. You know, you're full of surprises. [ Maybe it's because the outfit looks like it belongs to Clover. Hmm...
Okay, why not. Seeing how Dhaos is doing a good job investigating on his own, Ranulf goes up to the closet. He pulls out one of the pink outfits and steps back to give Dhaos space since he's... looking at the safe... But he holds up the outfit anyway because he can. ] What do you think about this one?
no subject
No dog in the safe this time! It just has a single solitary letter in it that's been sealed shut with tape and glue and anything else Undyne could get her hands on. On top of it is a sheet of paper that simply reads 'IF YOU'RE SEARCHING MY ROOM, OPEN THIS LETTER AND I'LL KILL YOU'.]
no subject
... I am?
[ Dhaos just casually rips off the seal with a grimace. He'll just blame someone else for opening it. He looks over to the outfit and blinks. ]
It looks absolutely hideous. It was clearly made by a human and developed for a small human.
[ He reads the letter. ]
no subject
Except hang on, he saw that sheet of paper Dhaos oh-so-casually ignored. Suddenly, he has a really bad feeling he's going to be blamed for this. Sigh...
Just as casually (and just as quickly) as Dhaos opened the seal, Ranulf moves the outfit in front of Dhaos' face to block his view. ] Hang on a second.
I don't think you should read that.
no subject
Do not stop me.
no subject
Listen, I know you're looking for any clue you can find here, and I commend you for it. You've done some good work investigating over the past few weeks, but...
I don't think this is connected to the trial. It would be better if you left it be.
no subject
Unfortunately, as much as I would like to not, we should be thorough in every sense of the word.
Whatever is in this letter could establish a good motive.
[ He'll make a quick movement towards the bathroom, READING THAT NOTE. ]
no subject
Also, seriously, Dhaos... do you really think you can outrun him? Or... even... get away... you have so much fluttery shit on you for him to grab as you flee...
HOW IS THIS A GOOD PLAN? Please hold as Ranulf jolts forward and tries to grab some part of Dhaos-be it his hair or his cape. ] Wait!
no subject
[ Dhaos is strangely silent as Ranulf does manage to grab a hold of his cape. However, that doesn't keep him from reading what's in the letter because he was focused and kept his eye on it the whole entire time. WHAT DOES IT SAY. ]
no subject
...with passion. It's immediately obvious from the first few sentences that this is an eloquently penned, beautifully composed, incredibly filthy love letter to someone named 'Alphys'. The first few paragraphs are all about Undyne confessing her feelings and being unable to hold her fiery burning passionate love back anymore, before it moves on to what she wants to do when she sees her again. There's a whole section dedicated to peeling off her labcoat to expose the golden scales underneath. The word 'hotbaby' is used at least six times. It is incredibly dirty.
I hope you're proud of yourself, Dhaos.]

He shakes his head, that is about the most obvious face of regret he's ever seen. ] If you waited, I was going to suggest we ask the previous search team if they saw the letter when they were here.
If they did, there wouldn't have been a point in reading it. [ This fuckin' guy. ]
no subject
...
[ Dhaos has an incredibly memory. He'll tape the note back shut once he finds some tape. ]
Regardless, that's all for now.
[ He puts the note back in the safe and elects not to write it in the notes. ]
no subject
[ And judging from Dhaos' reluctance to share the contents of the note, it had to have been embarrassing. That said, he's not mad or anything, he probably could have tugged Dhaos back or something instead of letting him read the note in its entirety. He's now a note reading accomplice.
The shame.
Sigh. ] But I think you're right. There's no place else to look.
