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

Um, Gilbert's hand was pointing... That sort of throws the order of events for a loop, though, right?

[sobowtor]

If his hand was cut off after his head it's probably irrelevant. Because. No head.

If his head was cut off after his hand it might mean something?

Maybe?

[herbgrace]

I can't imagine Gilbert stopping to point his hand in some direction. [It was probably a coincidence.]

[hopefragment]

Was there blood on the tips of his fingers? Like... if the killer cut his hand off to stop him from writing a dying message.

[sobowtor]

He was dying from a ripped off head though.

[muties]

Do you need a head to write a dying message?

[dereban]

In most cases you would, unless we're saying they used their spooky ghost powers to do it. Which is unlikely.

[muties]

Hey, we don't know that for sure.

[dereban]

[...]

I'm sorry, we can't be friends anymore on the basis that you actually think that the ghosts would have enough power to get a message out. I mean, did they even use blood?

[ She didn't smell it, she doesn't fucking know. ]

[muties]

[ Sticks tongue out. ]

I don't know? Someone get the furry to sniff it.

But really, if Gilbert wrote it it'd before his head was cut off, I guess? How much blood was around it, anyway?

[fourleafcleaver]

You need a head to do most things? Like, move. And be alive.

[of course she has to explain this to roxy "are we sure he had a spine" lalonde]

[ SHE'S JUST COVERING HER BASES OK SHE'S BEING A GOOD DETECTIVE ]

[sobowtor]

... yes?

Maybe.

... I mean I know you can run around for a bit with your head cut off but.

[muties]

Maybe that's why we can't figure out what the letters mean? 'Cause Gilbs was losing his head when he wrote it?

[fourleafcleaver]

What I'm saying is he could've been the one writing the letters, not that he was just pointing at whatever. But the hand was found in the lobby, wasn't it? That'd probably have to mean Gilbert's hand and head were cut off while Gilbert was already in the water and then they were moved, so I dunno how plausible that really is...
