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.]

I wouldn't call it some time, ma'am. It was maybe five, ten minutes before I ran into Miss Alice? I'd say that ain't enough time for a murder like this.

[ He scratches his head, then adds, since he's been kind of wanting to say it anyways: ] And you know, I guess I should be flattered that people think I'm clever, but... This is way too elaborate for me anyways. I'm not exactly a complex guy.

[...well, this is a big mansion, and normal humans are slow...]

I guess those are valid points. After all, she wasn't murdered with a pocketknife, was she.

[ He looks surprised, but then chuckles, shrugging. ]

Hey, a man's gotta defend himself just in case, right?

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah, we didn't find it in your room so... it's good to have that be public knowledge.

[though self defense is also a crime in this game...]
