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.]

Yeah, I agree, but considering what little time we have left, we couldn't ask her the reason about it until we're positive it has something to do with the case.

... Though, that made me think of something. I mean, jewelry that's designed to hurt yourself? Minatsuki needed blood for her powers, right? That seems like something she'd want to have. Are we sure that thing is Annie's? ♪

[brb checking her notebook]

Oh. I guess it is. Well, damn. ♪

You just might have a point though.

Annie could have somehow tricked her into wearing the ring, thus activating Minatsuki's powers, and made it look like she used her earring to activate it. All it would take is one small scratch to start her power, the rest could have been somehow accidentally self-inflicted... still, it's hard to account for the lack of blood anywhere else. Clothing, walls, carpeting...
