week 1 - trial

[productions]

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.]

Can't say I blame her - if I didn't grow up with actual cop cases, I'd be researching everything I could too about this. Wonder if she was looking for clues or something?

[He picks out the drawer key and goes to unlock the drawer at her desk.]

[notyetlost]

Either that or looking for inspiration. [Poland sets the book back down on the bedside table, pulling at Sharon's ridiculously neat sheets to check between them.] Who keeps their room this neat, jeez...

Anything in the drawer? [If she was going to hide evidence in her room, it'd make sense that she'd want to lock it up.]

[agentx13]

[ Sharon hadn't arrived with much, but what few possessions she has that have been deemed useless are now wrapped up in the initialed handkerchief that she had found when she'd arrived. Inside, she has her keys, some cash, a credit card, and something that looks like an earbud. If anyone wants to ask her about it, she'll explain that it's a comm so she can stay in touch with SHIELD while on missions. The notebook that she's been keeping is with her. ]

[humanic]

It's freaky, isn't it? I bet she's secretly an alien or something.

[He opens the handkerchief and examines everything inside.]

...I'd probably be the next victim if I borrowed some of this cash, huh? [Then he rummages through the rest of the drawer.]

Weird. There should be a bottle of chloroform and a pocketknife in here. Maybe it's somewhere else in the room?

[agentx13]

[ Chloroform had never really been Sharon's style, but she had thought it safer to hold onto it. It's currently in the trunk. The pocketknife is in the liquor cabinet; evidently, she had decided it was more useful for uncorking bottles than anything else. Also missing is the letter opener, but Poland might still find it under one of her pillows. ]

[humanic]

[After a lot more rummaging, he'll eventually find the bottle of chloroform and check the level of the liquid inside it.]

[agentx13]

[ Sorry to disappoint, dearest, but it's all there.

HAHAHAHAHA NOT SORRY AT ALL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ]

[notyetlost]

[Aaaaaand Poland found the letter opener, but totally didn't remake Sharon's bed.

Bwahahaha.]
