week 1 - trial

week one 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. 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.]

Right, which only narrows it down to two of the suspects, but... [ She narrows her eyes and crosses her arms ] While the motive to avoid being caught by someone who can detect supernatural deaths makes sense, neither of their cards lists any information that could make sense of how they managed to get out of the room. It's pretty clear at this point she didn't do it herself either.

Still, there would be no other reason to get rid of her unless they were concerned about her listed skills.

This may not be the only reason she was selected. She is relatively devoid of offensive skills, making her a possible target for those without powers to aid them. It may also have been a crime of opportunity, and Lydia may have simply had unlucky timing.
