week 7 - trial; day 2

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 7 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? victims suspects VOTING cast setting rulebook

Well... I'd have to ask Break, but isn't it possible that Rhys left with Gilbert in the morning?

Again, I'm just... trying to explore all our options.

[herbgrace]

Break confirmed Rhys's alibi, at least. I suppose he could have been misled regarding the timing...

[dhaosu]

If Rhys is the one informing Break of this, then there is no real confirmation, is there?

[herbgrace]

We can at least confirm that Rhys was in the room for two hours, as Break was awake. I doubt he would have missed hearing Rhys leave.

[crazily]

He didn't. For the sake of being more specific, I was already awake since I don't sleep very much, and when Gilbert rose for the day, he went about his morning routine. He left to go begin breakfast, Rhys vaguely woke up to request pancakes, and then he went back to sleep. It had been longer than usual, so at that point, I woke Rhys up and we left together.

I can't say exact times for some things, since I can't read any clock, but I was awake the entire time. Since I'm not a suspect, I'm clearly not making up an alibi to cover him here.

[hopefragment]

...Okay, that makes sense. Sorry.

[Just nods because yeah, Break would have no reason to lie to cover for a murder where Gilbert is involved.]

Thanks for clearing that up, though.

[ He waves his hand dismissively ]

There's no need to apologize. I understand that the timing is rather complicated here.
