murdermanor | WEEK 3

week three 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 think you're all thinking about this too much.

I think it's totally obvious that an epic ninja battle took place in the elevator shaft.

Dude, that would be so cool.

Oh my god, I know right?

Why couldn't something that awesome have happened while we were watching?

I mean...without the actual murder part, of course.....

It's been broadcasted right? we can like totally Tivo it when we get out.

But yeah! Beat totally did it.

Hold up! If we was fightin' in there, donchu think there'd be blood on the walls?! Or some kinda cuts or bruises on me? I don't have super healing, yo!

You're super fast though. I bet you could totally avoid a sword coming at you.

In a freakin' elevator shaft!? That's not a lot of room, yo... it was a katana, not a short sword!

You have a body double. Thing.

Maybe you let it take all the slashy stabbies!

But with who?!

( SORRY POLAND BUT WE'RE CUTTING IT KIND OF CLOSE RIGHT NOW )

Beat! [No guys he's totally got this one this time, and he's not even letting his biases lead him... too much. He actually likes Beat.]

( And considering Stiles' theory that they're looking for someone who was up early in the morning and how the trial is leaning in favor against those with powers... )

I really don't know. He doesn't seem like the type...

[Everyone keeps saying that. Maybe they're right...]

Okay... then maybe it was you.

It wasn't me!

Then who was it?!

[Augh why is he so bad at this!]

I don't know! If I knew I would say so!

[piping up!]

I apologize Lord Polska, Mr. Spain, but Mr. Beat is correct in saying that a sword of that nature would not allow for fast battle within cramped confines.

Lord Polska?

( Raising an eyebrow at Poland because some how this is obviously his fault. )

What?

[This is a perfectly acceptable way to be greeted.]

Nothing, milord.

( Obviously teasing but really, Spain has other things to worry about right now ok. You are not important at the moment, Poland!!! )

... Ah, that is pretty obvious, isn't it...

[guess what it is poland's fault, but kaoru's just like ??? because hey, he asked to be addressed that way!]

I would think that he and Mr. Altman are currently among the least suspicious.

... okay. But. Um.

[Poland flails a bit, he really wanted to solve it this time!]

Erg...

[oh no Kaoru doesn't want Poland to feel badly...!]

There might be something to the theory of skilled warriors being involved, though, at least on the part of the attacker. Despite the fact that stabs rather than slashes indicate a lack of proper knowledge on katana-wielding, the attacker surely had strength and physical control in order to refrain from piercing all the way through the body with such a long blade.

But you're like totally sure it's the katana?

[Because shuriken sounds pretty deadly too.]
