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.]

All that would be required would be for the water to cover the victim's mouth and nose while the victim was unable to remove their head from the water.

[inthebones]

She could have been suspended through some manipulation to keep her head at some level above the water, explaining any issues with time.

However, chloroform wouldn't keep you unconscious that long.

...While you're here, Rin, do you mind if I ask if the wires on the piano were cut or snapped?

[terriblesister]

Wouldn't evidence of that be left in the bath though? Or was that all the toilet paper...

[miraculous]

I do not believe there was enough toilet paper outside of the drain for that. Toilet paper also comes apart quickly in water.

[roadroller]

Ah, right - to me it definitely looked like they had been cut! I should update my notes on that. ♪
