week 8 - trial; day 1

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 8 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? victim   suspects      cast setting rulebook

Findings

[vicedirector]

The rest of the table is empty. There are boxes labeled Exhibit A through Exhibit J, and pens and paper for writing.

All evidence and other information found during the course of investigation should be listed here.

Exhibit A: around the lake

[hopefragment]

Found Clover near the boathouse. Hanyuu had gotten there first, and according to her testimony, Clover wasn't moving by the time she got there. There was a messed up patch of snow like someone might have shuffled around, or something might have been moved or rolled around or... something near her body, I'm not sure. I found some small footprints next to and underneath where her body was hanging, but I couldn't tell what kind of shoe it was. There was a broken jar of pink glitter a few feet away from her, in the snow.

I also found this weird medical tubing floating in the lake.

-Hinata

[In the box he's included the medical tubing, and also a piece of hotel notepad paper with a rough tracing of the footprints. The jar of glitter, too, though there's probably still glitter in the snow outside.]

Exhibit B: Clinic

[brawlhalla]

[ in blocky but neat writing: ]

Bill and I checked the Clinic. It was a complete disaster with everything thrown around and gone through, but the only thing missing was medical tubing (which was apparently found in the lake?) We checked everything against the inventory list to be certain.

-Astrid

Exhibit C: twine

[herbgrace]

[An unwound ball of twine, frayed at one end, and a separate, larger piece of the same twine.]

Found in the kitchen in two pieces. It was quite messily unwound.

-Lithuania

Exhibit D: Matchbooks

[herbgrace]

[A couple of matchbooks. It looks like four to six matches are used.]

Found in the kitchen on the stove.
