week 4 - trial

[productions]

week four 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.]

[As an aside to Susan.] I think that's code for making out.

[Relentless.]

[teenspirit]

You stop that!

[ Wailing again. ]

[godwhisperer]

[Honestly he is going to hit you.

No just kidding he's a hamster lover not a fighter he would not do that but Poland needs to shut his mouth.]

Your disrespect grows tedious. Do you wish to challenge me in battle.

[notyetlost]

[Yeah okay Gundam.]

Sure why not.

[godwhisperer]

Very well. I will challenge you, following the trial. We will meet in the courtyard. What beast will you use?

[notyetlost]

What like Pokemon?

I thought we were gonna fight. You let your pets fight all your battles for you? [Laaaaaame.]

[godwhisperer]

Fight? Of course we will not battle our beasts, I forbid it! I merely wish to see your mastery over other creatures! There is no other measure of power I respect.

[notyetlost]

I didn't bring any of my horses or ponies with me obviously so I don't know what I'm supposed to show you.

You'd totally be impressed though. [Not that he even cares about impressing Gundam. Please. He's just that good.]

[godwhisperer]

Horses, I see. Hm, not as terribly low level as I suspected. They are a fine example, and not entirely so simple to train.

[Distracted by his rage by thoughts of ponies.]

[notyetlost]

Pssh. Duh. I trained the world's greatest cavalry, it's like completely unstoppable.

Haven't you ever heard of a Hussar?

[godwhisperer]

I have not...hm, but a cavalry...

They will become injured.

[notyetlost]

Nah. We don't fight like that anymore, now they're my pets. Along with my dragon.

[godwhisperer]

[Okay, so now he's stopped even pretending to be mad and is just listening intently.]

Yes, that is far superior! Ahahaha, an entire legion of magnificent horses lead by a brave warrior atop a dragon! They will live in peace until the arrival of the Prince.

[notyetlost]

[What were they even fighting for? Poland can't remember after that description.]

Wow yeah! That's exactly how it is!

[No it is not.]

[godwhisperer]

Ahahaha. I have a number of equines in my animal kingdom myself, but I have a wish to have more varieties. If it would be possible to tame those of silkiest manes in a thousand colors, that would be my goal.

I have only rarely had opportunity to breed dragons, however.

[notyetlost]

I probably have like every horse on the face of planet by now, you should come see!

Dragons are kinda hard to come by these days though.

[godwhisperer]

Perhaps I shall. I intend to journey to your sphere of the world for my own purposes. I should like to gaze upon such a magnificent sight.

[Um, did we just become best friends?]

Hm, they are rare, but they are worthwhile...

[notyetlost]

Yeah, sure come over whenever you want! [Poland's a little more weary about murder mansion friendships after yesterday, but this sounds like it can be the beginning of something totally awesome!

Assuming Gundam's not a robot murderer anyways.]

Totally worthwhile! [Was that a very masculine squeal-- yes it definitely was.]Marochka's the cutest oh my god! I wish I had pictures.

[godwhisperer]

[Haha, he's the wariest about friendships, it has to be more difficult than that. But he can talk about animals for forever.]

I...would very much like to see her.

[inthebones]

Yes, as the majority of us still recall being seventeen, I don't think we need any evidence to come to that conclusion.

We'll have plenty of time to mock them about their blossoming relationship after we execute someone, I think.

[notyetlost]

Yeah but if I wait till after we execute Sonia I can't make her make that face anymore.

[No, okay he'll stop.]

[inthebones]

And that is what I believe the youth of today call 'crossing the line'.

[notyetlost]

Has anyone ever told you that you're like no fun?

[inthebones]

You're the first, actually. Congratulations; you've earned a bronze star of Honesty.

[notyetlost]

It's the best policy.
