week 8 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 8 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, nothing happens. It's 10AM, and there are no blackouts or explosions. There's no blood, no objects out of place, no missing guests. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The monitor in the lobby is silent, and Katerina doesn't seem to have anything to say on the matter. On the most desperate of weeks...could someone have actually not taken the initiative? >Mingle? cast setting

Have you noticed anyone missing?

[Hinata's obviously just as uncomfortable. On this, of all weeks...? It really seems too good to be true.]

[herbgrace]

No, but I haven't exactly done a headcount. [It's difficult to do here.] The monitor is still there, though...

[hopefragment]

You're right... I wonder if we shouldn't try to keep everyone here in the lobby? Just stop people as they come by...

[symbologic]

That would be ideal, but...enough time has already passed that it's possible some have left the hotel already without our noticing.

[Like is everyone else other than lobby hover group still upstairs or what...]

[herbgrace]

I suppose it isn't unreasonable to think some people may have attempted to go off and search... [Which could be dangerous on its own right now.]

[symbologic]

[Concerned nod because YEAH, THAT'S WHAT HE'S THINKING TOO... leaving is dangerous.]

It's something of a habit at this point, after all...

[herbgrace]

[Lithuania nods.] I was going to do that myself this morning except I saw the monitor was still there.

[hopefragment]

Yeah... I'm not really sure how to proceed. If we leave to try to find people who might have left, then anyone coming downstairs won't know that we're okay...

[But he's glad you're Safe, bro.]

It's so close to the end of the week, though, I don't want to just... try to pretend like everything's okay.

[symbologic]

[He's glad you're safe too, bro. Not that he was really worried since, after last week, he's fairly certain neither you nor Roxy would leave whatever room you were both sleeping in for ANYTHING.]

Mmm...I suppose some of us could leave and some of us could stay here but...even that presents problems. It's possible someone has set a trap again and none of us have been in the proper position to spring it yet.

[THERE IS NO WAY NOBODY MURDERED THIS WEEK. NO FUCKING WAY.]

[hopefragment]

...If it's a trap, do you think if enough people are clustered together when it's sprung... that we might be able to stop it? I mean, you know how the immunity works. Wouldn't it be breaking the rules if more than one person were killed by a trap?

[Basically what he's saying is, he has two hands, and he's holding Roxy's with one. U could hold the other hand, bro. For safety.]

[symbologic]

If more than two were killed by the trap, yes, it would be a rules violation. However...the rules do not actually dictate what happens in the event someone attempts to kill a third person, only that it is not allowed. It's possible that if three people were to spring a trap, and all die as a result...we simply would not have a trial, but three victims and an immediate execution.

[WAY TO BE A DEBBIE DOWNER THERE, FAIZE.]

But perhaps Katerina has ways of interfering and preventing a third death. Though I honestly cannot say that I wish to test that theory.
