week 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? setting rulebook |

Isn't there a better spot for doing this?
[ Like in a chair, or even sitting on the table. Not that he'd recommend the latter. ]
no subject
Nmmope. [Poland swallows.]
Want some?
no subject
No. I do not truly need to eat.
[ It's hard to get him to eat anything here as a result and he leans against the counter. ]
... That said, how are you faring? You can answer in between eating, of course.
no subject
Right now though, Poland actually feels embarrassed about something. And of all things it's eating. Thanks Lettland.]
...
I'm not hungry.
no subject
[ He thinks about this a little. It could be due to the trial...so, stress-eating? ]
Are you concerned with something regarding this trial, then? Is that why you're eating?
no subject
[This should solve everything.]
You know anyone who needs an infinite donut tray?
[She'd like it to have a good home.]
no subject
[ It might solve everything, if Poland doesn't need to eat in the first place. ]
...And as for that infinite donut tray? I do not think so. It doesn't spontaneously make an endless amount of donuts, does it?
[ This is a fair question. Isn't it. ]
1/2
I mean I've never died from being not eating before? [But then again Poland has never died before.] It hurts though and I don't like it, but whatever.
no subject
I shoved all the donuts off it once just to check and when I turned around again it was full of donuts!
no subject
For a moment he puts aside the issue of that donut tray. If Poland truly wishes to trade it off, he could always suggest Yoite. He seems to like sweets. ]
...If it hurts not to eat, then you should not risk eating nothing. Why do you not wish to eat anymore?
no subject
[Poland can never just do something in moderation can she.]
no subject
[ How does he respond to this. ]
I do not think going from eating in excess to nothing will help. Perhaps if you did it more in moderation, it could.
no subject
It wasn't excessive!
[Not to her. She's literally hungry all the time.]
no subject
In large quantities...?
[ Poland. You are the only one he's ever seen that eats so much. Yoite comes close, but you still outmatch him. ]
no subject
You've joined a club only Rhys was a member of.]
no subject
I... I apologize--
[ He puts up his hands just in case she throws anything else. ]
Perhaps you should just keep eating the way you usually do...instead of eating nothing. That will still be more preferable.
no subject
If you feel like that then why can't you just say something like, Oh sweet precious Poland! You're perfect just the way you are! Don't change a bit!
[Who taught you how to comfort people?]
no subject
[ He doesn't know what to say. ]
Then... do not change? You are alright the way you are. I already know how kind you are, so I do not see how calling you 'sweet' would change that. I'd rather sound a little more genuine than that.
[ He tries to comfort people. But he's been through some bad times, so he's bad at it.... ]
no subject
An attempt was sorta made.]
So say it how you wanna say it but nicer.
no subject
[ He doesn't know how to say it nicer than the way he said it, but he's starting to feel embarrassed. His eyes flicker to the side... maybe he could dash out to make an exit... he's not feeling so well Poland. Why do you do this to him. ]
I thought that was fine...I cannot think of the words, so I hope it suffices for now.
[ Can he just make a break for it, because he just tries to slip out now. ]
