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.]

There's always going to be two of us on these cursed lists isn't there.

[pasodoble]

Well, it would be lonely if it was just one of us.

( How Spain can flirt or tease at a time like this is a mystery because he doesn't even realize he's doing it ok. )

[mostlymarried]

[sadly, it is Belarus. Which is to say it flies over her head; who flirts at times like this...]

It just means we're the expendable scapegoats; same as before!

[pasodoble]

( Spain, obviously. )

... Well, that isn't a very good thought. ( Belarus you're bringing him down, man. )

[mostlymarried]

You can't deny it, can you?

The killer has to blame someone else. We're convenient.

[pasodoble]

A teenaged boy, an older man, a woman with powers, and two nations? It seems a little random to me.

[mostlymarried]

[she can only shrug]

They also do.

[pasodoble]

I'm sure everyone here will do their best to catch the real murderer so let's have faith, hm?

[vytis]

[Okay Lithuania is going to try to defuse this now.]

No one is going to intentionally vote for someone they think is innocent. We need to focus on the investigation.

[mostlymarried]

But we're never 'innocent', are we?

[vytis]

Nations aren't innocent. But we can be not guilty of things, so we need to gather the facts and figure out what happened. Talking about this just wastes what time we have to do that.

[Belarus just throws her hands up in frustration. Investigation is... not her strong suit...]
