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 oppose confrontation. I claim you'd rather not punch anyone if you can help it for one reason or another.

[godwhisperer]

I would not back down from a challenge. I would not. You do not know, so you do not intend to insult me, but you misunderstand the reasoning behind my reticence.

[inthebones]

I don't see that it's so difficult to understand. Obviously, if you wield your powers at full strength, the entire house would be obliterated and the rest of us with it. Your restraint is appreciated, but in practical matters, it does translate into Belarus winning this one.

I must be pragmatic about these things.

[godwhisperer]

Feh. You are mocking me.

[He doesn't sound very offended, though, just matter of fact.]

It matters not. I do not owe any of you a clarification.

[inthebones]

Just a bit, yes.

I should probably put a stop to this if it gets out of hand. Let me know if she actually harms you.
