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

...What it does would be a start.

[Dude... does he look like he knows anything about this bullshit??]

[okuri]

Destroy people.

[hopefragment]

...

[He pauses, takes a deep breath, and presses his fingers into his forehead, biting back an incredibly sarcastic response.]

Can you be a little more specific?

[dhaosu]

... Yoite, it will help your case at least to elaborate a little.

[ ... ]

Kira is a forbidden technique that is utilized to break an individuals' bones without even so much as making physical contact upon someone-- as if a magical spell one could chant to break someone's bones to put it in more simple terms. Hence, if he used it, Clover would have broken bones.

[muties]

Holy yikes, that's some hardcore shit.

[ WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A MAGIC SKILL LIKE THAT LIKE GODDAMN ]

[dhaosu]

It is... I suppose.

[ Because magic. Idk, ask Yoite, he might (likely not) answer. ]

[okuri]

[ The ninja world is a tough place.]

It's forbidden for a reason.

[muties]

If it's forbidden, why can you do it? Don't ninjas have better laws? Aren't the ninja police better at keeping their ninja streets clean of forbidden ninja magic?

[okuri]

Because I needed to learn it. [ A beat.] There aren't any police, those are for surface worlders.

There are the wakachi who kill those who act against the code, though.

[muties]

Ah yes, wakachi, that is definitely a word I know and know what those are.

What's the code? Sounds like maybe, maybe you need some police like the... surface wor-- oh my god, are you from the same place as Undyne and them??

[ THEY LIVE UNDERGROUND RIGHT this would explain SO MUCH ]

[okuri]

It varies by clan, my clan is the Grey Wolves. [ He tilts his head.]

No I'm not. We're all human.

[dereban]

Okay, Roxy might know what wakachi is, but I sure as hell don't - since I would have translated it as "distinction" or "discrimination".

[ Inaba definitely knows her Japanese. ] So you might have to explain it for me and the rest of our audience.

[okuri]

...they're the unit that carries out punishments for those who act against the clan. They access the violations and then act accordingly.

[okuri]

[ He nods, thanks Dhaos.]

...it's like Vegeta's ki. [ There, he tried being more helpful.]

[hopefragment]

[He agrees, Roxy. That is indeed some hardcore shit.]

That's...

[Extreme.]

Not relevant to the case, then. Thanks. Just one more question, when your profile says "pitching"... does it mean like, throwing something? Like a baseball?

[Or a ninja star.]

[okuri]

Yes. But I haven't used it in a while, before coming here.
