week 2 - trial

week two trial



[At 9 AM precisely, the old grandfather clock chimes once again, and the doors to the drawing room are opened. They will remain open until everyone has come inside, after which they will shut behind them. It is not possible to leave on your own, although perhaps if you have a specific purpose the hostess will allow you to go, as long as you are accompanied by a partner.

The room is set up comfortably, with several tables by the fireplace set out to assist with the trial. The Hostess will also remain in a seat near the fireplace, next to the scales on the mantle. At lunch, the doors will open to bring in a large meal on an automatically rolling buffet, and at 3 PM, tea and finger sandwiches will be served. You'll be able to enjoy the trial in comfort, of course, but the information cards set out on tables will not allow you to forget your true purpose here.

At 7 PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. Players will be escorted by the Hostess to the ballroom, where dinner and wine will be served until 10 PM, at which point players will be required to return to their wings in groups with their wingmates and will be locked in their bedrooms until 8:30 AM the following morning.]

I'd like to point out two things. One can't be confirmed right now, the other can.

Firstly, Minatsuki and I never once spoke, and in fact this entire incident is the closest I ever came to her the entire time that the game was going on.

Secondly, the bioluminescence with which I'm afflicted means that even if I had some kind of intention to ambush Ms. Takami in the dark, there is a probability of nearly one that the light would have alerted her to my presence beforehand, not to mention interfered with the process of her pupil dilation. If anyone would like to dim the lights in part of the room I would be happy to play along with any requests to that effect.

...You mean you glow in the dark.

[Susan arches an eyebrow slightly as she glances at Kanaya.]

Now that I think about it, the words always do seem a bit clearer when I'm reading nearby you.

[speakveryclearly]

Yes, I glow in the dark.

[Her expression is a fair bit more exasperated than this in all probability but this icon demonstrates what that looks like the best.]

Alright, where's the illuminator toggle?

[inthebones]

[...Susan will reach over and pull a lamp cord nearby.]

Well.

I'm surprised that's not noted on your card.

[speakveryclearly]

I thought it was obvious enough in the photograph of myself they selected.

[Regardless, she moves behind Susan, whose silhouette is cast on the wall.]

[inthebones]

[Susan will toggle the illuminator back on.]

I suppose if my theory is at all correct, you would find it difficult to surprise her, yes.

[And here she thought vampires were creatures of the night.]

I'm not at all sure my theory is at all correct, though.

[speakveryclearly]

[She's a creature of the day #nocturnal species problems.]

I accept that. Thank you for entertaining my request.
