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.]

[the knife makes Yuzu jump a little, but she can't fault her for carrying it]

...Right.

Could you give it a try?

I don't think I could sleep at night if I did something so terrible to a defenseless instrument. [Siren opts to place the knife in Yuzu's hands instead.]

Cut the next two bass strings if you must.

[UM. WHAT. O...KAY THEN... sssob

...Still it's just a piano, right? It's alright damaged and it's for a murder investigation, right? There's nothing... wrong here...

Taking the knife and feeling utterly guilty doing it, she amateurishly tries to cut at the wires.

It takes her a bit of effort given the oh god oh god I've never done this before factor but they do cut loose]

[Those poor strings.]

I suppose we should hurry back and deposit these as evidence.

[SHE ALMOST WANTS TO APOLOGISE...]

R-Right.
