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.]

And then they must have pushed him down the elevator shaft in the struggle!

But if that's the case...then we shouldn't be executing anyone just for trying to protect themselves or someone innocent!

[vytis]

If this is a case of self-defense, it's going to be--difficult. The alternative of voting for someone who did nothing at all isn't a good one, either.

[pandacea]

It really would be a terrible situation in that case. To choose between someone who was only trying to protect themselves and someone who was not involved at all... Can we not just all vote for Dave Strider in that case? He would be the true murderer here!

[vytis]

If this is self-defense, that would be the right thing to do--either that, or to vote for no one at all. But I don't think that the people running the game care what the right thing is.

Hopefully, Dave wasn't attempting to kill anyone, and this was just set up to make it look as if we was trying to.

[pasodoble]

I agree that voting would be awful in that situation but considering what happened to the last person who didn't vote...

[vytis]

I haven't seen her at all since the last trial... I guess--they really are serious about making us vote, aren't they?

[pasodoble]

It is a little ominous considering how our last missing person turned up. ( . . . ) No offense.

[pandacea]

Could she...still be in there?

1/2

[pasodoble]

( UHM )

[pasodoble]

No...!

[pandacea]

W-we should go check! If she's been trapped in there, she'll need our help! [May if she's been there for a week she's probably beyond help by now...]

[pasodoble]

I... I'm certain they just sent her home!

( Then why were you worried about her earlier Spain. )

[pandacea]

Yes, that must be it!

...does that mean that if we do not vote for anyone, we can be sent home? Because I have no interest in any incentive they would provide for this game.

[pasodoble]

Well, that would be nice, w-wouldn't it?

( Someone change the topic Spain can't break the news to a kid no )

[inthebones]

No.

Those who don't vote are killed. It's written right in the rules.

[The glare Susan sends at Spain is venomous.]

For heaven's sakes, are you trying to get May killed?

[pasodoble]

I didn't want to say it! I'm sorry!

( BLESS YOU SUSAN )

[inthebones]

You certainly have some strange scruples for being half a millennium old.

[aozaki]

Hasn't that already happened, too?

[just chiming in.]

[inthebones]

...That's exactly what we're discussing. Why else would we be on this topic?

[Susan arches an eyebrow at Touko.]

[notyetlost]

So if we don't vote we get to go home?

[Poland has selective listening skills.]

[pasodoble]

I don't know?!

( Why is this happening. )

[notyetlost]

So then why are we even bothering with this, I want to go home!

[pasodoble]

( And after Susan's called Spain out on it, )

Exceptshemightstillbeintheroom.

[notyetlost]

...no way.

[Poland why are your feet moving in the direction of the smoking room after hearing that.]

[throe]

She is... her spirit still remains within these walls!

[ Rapture lifts both her arms up, her voice with it's usual spooky-sounding reserve. Like she isn't going to cash in on this. ]

Can't you feel her presence?
