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.]

They could have even angled him in a way that would have got less blood on them.

Impressive luck? [ She smirks. ] Or an accomplice maybe? It does seem strange that they could open it from the outside, but not from inside. You have to be able to press the button to do that, don't you?

Yeah, but there was only one murder this week - an accomplice wouldn't have gained anything for helping out and would be putting their own life at risk. Besides, do any of our suspects look like they'd be working together to you? I guess there's two nations up there, but after the fuss they kicked up last trial, I doubt one of them would have wanted to risk dying just so another can get the incentive, especially since they don't seem to have known or remember each other from before coming here.

You'd be surprised what people would do when money is involved.

[ Is she referring to herself? One will never know. ]

If it wasn't an accomplice, then maybe they kept the door wedged open somehow. At least enough to either slide through or manage to open it on their own.
