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

Mm...

[ Dhaos relaxes a bit, once the voice reveals it to be Satori. Well, you're actually one of the few people worth his time here, so. ]

Since it is you, I suppose you could listen in to the simple thought of myself perhaps... being bothered. A lot has happened, but in the end, having faith in people is still a dubious concept to me.

[ "People" as in humans. Although that came out awkwardly, as usual on his part. ]

I should hope that no one simply has any sudden foolish ideas, that is all.

[unpleasantries]

You're right to be dubious. After all, it was a sudden and foolish idea that landed us here tonight.

[There's also the underlying fact that Satori is Paranoid As Fuck and Dubious About Everything without her eye, which may be fueling her agreement.]

[dhaosu]

Unfortunately so. If only people did so much as at least entertain the idea of exercising restraint before needlessly resorting to violence...

[ And if only Clover hadn't wandered off .... gurl.

He knows this trial is going to turn ugly at some point, especially considering one of the suspects listed up there. That's just his opinion. ]

There was... a lot less done than I thought there'd have been as well, I suppose.

[unpleasantries]

A lot less done? In regard to the trial, you mean?

[Or does he mean...to the body...]

I'm sure we'll find more information tomorrow. We've had slow starts before.
