WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[productions]

week three 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.]

If you are certain... [Kaoru will still offer to go down the shaft first, of course.]

I do not have one, myself. Do you know where one may be located?

[terriblesister]

...I don't either. I'll ask.

[terriblesister]

[why do I have to approach the crazy evil lady why do I have to approach the crazy evil lady why do I have to approach the crazy evil lady-]

U-Um!

C-Could we get a... torch or something so we can check the elevator shaft? Properly, I mean!

[herpreciousrival]

Have we considered how the motive for this week factors into the evidence?

It seems as though whoever had regrets when it came to their lives would be the most enticed into killing for the week, right?

[pasodoble]

I think now is the time to give everyone a chance. ( Though cheerful and casual enough, there is a bit of an undertone there. Is it a warning? ) Our best defense is our innocence and the investigators so let's not make things harder for them.

Okay?

( insert pa spain emote here )

[souredsweet]

Thank you. [a nod! Kaoru will wait patiently for her return.]

[souredsweet]

There is no need to apologize. I understand how stressful the situation is... [having just been a suspect the week prior and all. IT'S NOT FUN, clearly they need to start a commiseration club.]

Mm, and I would not think that anyone would be foolish enough to use a method that could implicate them through their card. Suspecting the same is what lead us to unjustly executing Miss Ukraine the last week. I only intended for it to be one piece to take into consideration - no one should take it as the correct answer without further corresponding evidence.

[throe]

He refuses to believe it couldn't be possible that everything here is just a set-up for the show enough to let an "autopsy" be performed on him by one of us. [ She shrugs. ] But only if it's cleaned up nicely after we're done.

[mostlymarried]

...I am not trying to do; I did everything that was asked.

[Spain what are you trying to say you're confusing her here]

[balzams]

I think... If you have any ideas, if you can help in anyway, that would be best. It's everyone's job to discover the culprit and you can help too.

[throe]

Pretending everyone doesn't have regrets isn't going to get us very far.

[ Unless you're Rapture. ]

[roadroller]

Hmm, I see... I don't think strangling is that relevant to this case though... What about the part where it can capture your enemies? ♪

[mostlymarried]

...

Dy. I will try.

[herpreciousrival]

Last week was about keeping secrets though, Miss Rapture.

Regrets aren't necessarily a secret. Perhaps the Hostess knows of and can corroborate what we would redo in life if we had the opportunity.

[pasodoble]

Good! ( Spain never makes any sense. ) If Beat is innocent, we'll have to give him a chance too, okay?

( Unless he's not innocent. But Beat seems like a nice kid to Spain. ... #SpanishBias )

[herpreciousrival]

Well, if I have my hair around your neck you won't be going anywhere soon, will you?

[mostlymarried]

I know; it seems unlikely to be him to me, too.

[roadroller]

I guess that's true! ♪

[pasodoble]

I don't think it looks too good or bad for any of us right now...

( Which worries Spain more than either to be honest but he won't say that out loud. )

[throe]

But there's always the account that she doesn't and anyone could make up a falsified regret to cover their suspicions. In that case, she could always ask one by one and then confirm it.

We also have the other two prize options to consider too. Money alone is a huge incentive, though I don't see any suspects in the line up being interested over special artifacts. Except for Michael Altman, maybe.

[mostlymarried]

Dy...

[but if it isn't Beat - it being Spain never enters her head - that would leave the other two Deadweights...]

Gah. I'm no good at this.

1/2

[herpreciousrival]

I suppose... I still feel it is important ask at the very least. It may not be the most concrete of evidence but it is something worth keeping in mind.

2/2

[herpreciousrival]

Oh but that reminds me, I'd meant to ask.

Ah... what exactly is the use for money? [#alienproblems]

[pasodoble]

That makes the two of us.

( Maybe three if you consider Beat too. )

[mostlymarried]

...I suppose we are stuck with waiting.
