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.]

It is.

[Susan can say nothing more to that than to agree.]

We're dealing with someone unabashedly ruthless if this is the case.

[terriblesister]

For the record... I don't think you or Felicia could have done it. I don't know the other three but... you're good people.

[inthebones]

...

[Susan sighs slightly at that, though it is more good-natured than exasperated.]

You mustn't trust so easily, either. It's only been a week; anyone could maintain the facade of a good nature this long. And even if neither of us were the criminals today, we might still be responsible in the future.

[terriblesister]

...Not like this.

[inthebones]

No.

Never like this.

[For a moment, Susan's handsome features become suddenly very pale before she shakes her head with a sigh.]

I can't understand the things people do, but I'm never surprised, either.
