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 said shut up.

[GOING FOR A KICK INSTEAD]

[Kicked in the leg! He will stumble backwards again, and then begin circling, remaining further than arm's length from her and clearly ready to move depending on her actions.]

Ignorant one, you know not what you do. Even though you seek to challenge me, and though I would not back down from such a challenge...I cannot, in this place, chance that I would inadvertently take your life.

Understand what you risk. The curse that is on me...the poison that flows through these veins...if I allowed you to do what you wish, your life would be forfeit, so I must refuse to fight.
