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 would, I'd appreciate it.

We should probably get something to carrying it in so no one touches it directly.

[souredsweet]

[and off Kaoru goes to ask the Hostess!]

Let us go, if you are ready. I will stop by the kitchen first to fetch a towel so that we may carry it.

[balzams]

That sounds fine.

[Mentally he prepares himself for any amount of blood at the crime scene as they leave to retrieve the necessary items]

We should probably pick up some flour too to dust for prints and, um...

[There are other things too, in face he's pretty sure he found something similar flipping through one of the books lately]

Oh! We should probably get a brush too. Do you know if there are any make-up brushes in the bathroom? Or do you have one you would be so kind to let us use?

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru seems to be doing the same thing - steeling for the bloody scene that hasn't likely been cleaned up yet.]

Ink as well, to take the prints from the suspects, correct? If you do not mind getting the towel and flour from the kitchen, I can check the study for some ink and grab a brush from the bathroom. We can both meet at the elevator, after.

[balzams]

Mr. Stilinski already agreed to collect the ink so all we need is a brush.

I can get the things from the kitchen though, the elevator is right by it, isn't it?

[souredsweet]

Ah, all right. I shall go fetch one, in that case.

[a nod!] That is correct. I will be back as quickly as I can. [and off Kaoru goes, up to the second floor and the emerald wing to look for an unused make up brush.]

[balzams]

[Latvia meets her back at the elevator with two towels folded neatly in his hands and a bag of flour on top. He purposely avoids looking at the scene and the smell seems to be putting him off a bit]

Sh-should we check the scene again while we're here.

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru returns with the brush in hand, making sure not to touch the bristles. peering into the elevator shaft...]

We might as well while we are here. [a beat, and then:] How strong are you? I do not believe that I am tall enough to reach the top without help once I have jumped down. [at least Kaoru won't make Latvia be the one to poke around on a bloody elevator top]

[balzams]

I'm not sure... I can try but if we want to inspect the shaft it might be easier to scale down rather than climb up...

We should retrieve the weapon at least.

[Taking a deep breath he pushes the call button and waits for whatever scene they'll find]
