week 2 - trial

week two 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, as long as you are accompanied by a partner.

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.

At 7 PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. Players will be escorted by the Hostess to the ballroom, where dinner and wine will be served until 10 PM, at which point players will be required to return to their wings in groups with their wingmates and will be locked in their bedrooms until 8:30 AM the following morning.]

You don't have to. [ She crosses her arms and smirks. ] I was putting on a performance to change the boring atmosphere.

[ Not that anyone appreciates it... ugh. How droll can so many people be?! ]

[pasodoble]

( Oh. ... Oh. In response, Spain will smile, )

I'm sure if the circumstances were different... ( The others would see! ) Thank you, Rapture. ( He means it!! ) It was a good performance, as usual.

[throe]

Thanks. [ The way she says it implies that she already knows how great of a performance it was. ] If this is bound to go on week after week, I might have to start charging.

[pasodoble]

That might be a problem. ( And have a playful smirk, ) Considering I don't think anyone here arrived with money.

[throe]

Unfortunately. [ She crosses her arms. ] I guess I just have to stay on top of the charts every week. That's already earned me something, I may as well keep it up.

Which shouldn't be too hard. The Stingers never go for second best.

[ Being #1 and getting prizes for it? Why would she ever refuse? ]

[pasodoble]

Some would say success would be a greater reward than money.

[throe]

In some cases, you would be right. The Stingers are at the top now, they will be for some time, but I like to keep the future in mind too.

[ On the word future, she makes reference to the crystal ball lying on the table as an emphasis. ]
