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.]

[Kanaya is somewhat taken aback by this gesture. Awkwardly, she reaches down to pat May on the head.]

There, there. Don't get depressed. It's not your fault. The same evidence that led me to suspect Ukraine could have just as easily been construed to mean me. We both failed to solve the case at our full potential and need to do better next time. That's all.

Yes, you're right...I should have worked harder. I should not have believed that every case would result in an obvious culprit as last week's did. [She bites her lip.] I thought that my knowledge of chemistry would always be vital, but today it proved to be useless. I need to learn how to solve these crimes outside of it.

The thallium could have helped out earlier, it's true. And yet...

None of us can rely on any one asset, or even on the insights of any one person. We've got to diversify.
