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.

[And Laima skids to a stop beside her and licks her face, wagging her tail.] You really aren't athletic, are you?

[ Sadie looks up rather unhappily and groans when Laima licks her. ] Okay, never do that again. [ She gets up shakily. ]

You were the only one entirely unaccounted for during the investigation. I decided I needed to test how quickly you could run under pressure. [With wolf dogs.]

[High five Lithuania.

This is teamwork right.]

I was passed out. You believe everyone else when they're all, oh I don't know how to use electricity six weeks into living in a hotel but me not being awake at 6AM is impossible?

It's not that I don't believe you, it's that everyone else has other people saying they saw them, so you had the largest gap. Honestly, if you really drank everything in your room, I'm surprised you woke up in the morning at all.

Whatever happened to the accomplice thing?

I suppose it's not impossible. Someone would still need to have been doing all the running around, though. [Astrid...? Just by process of elimination at this point...?]

Obviously it's not me.

... Do I look sweaty? [ Sweating might kill her, Lithuania is the real murderer. ]

No, you're fine. [You are not dead yet.]

The girl who admires her crazy killer father who never raised a hand to kill people kinda strikes me as suspicious. The original plan didn't involve running around, right?

I'm not supposed to love my dad because he killed some people?

The way he was being talked about, he didn't sound that admirable, is all.

Don't talk about things you don't know, Miss I-Murder-People-But-Honorably. Like there's a difference.

... Kind of, yeah, he doesn't sound like a good dad. Good dads don't have murder cults?

He's the only one who treats me well, so you should probably shut up.

Don't let them judge. They can't really relate to that experience.

[Buddy can though. Such is life.]

I hate people like this. I used to be ashamed of him but...

That's true, but it did involve running in the end, and she didn't do a good job of that even when Laima was going for her.

Yeah, but it sounds like everyone but her and I has been eliminated because alibis.

[ UGH, she admits the buddy system would have been useful NOW. ]

And it wasn't me? So it has to be her.

[ Just kind of shooting a quick glare at Lithuania, even if this did prove a point.]

Are you okay? [ But because he's Yoite he won't offer any physical assistance, but the thought is half there.]

Not emotionally. [ THANKS YOITE her only real friend. ] Or maybe physically, I think my ankle's hurt.

[ ... ]

You should go to the clinic after trial is over.

When this is over, I'm never talking to like half these people again. [ SHE HAS BEEN ABUSED. ]

I only talk to a few people here. [ So agreeing on that front, completely.]
