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.]

Would you care to go for a drink again tonight, after all this is done with?

[touko, PRIORITIES...]

[pasodoble]

I'll take everyone here to drinks if we find the real killer.

[aozaki]

Are you feeling optimistic?

[pasodoble]

Of course; I'm Spain.

[aozaki]

Appropriating a trait like that for one nation? You're not claiming exclusivity, I hope? [THAT'D BE RACIST

I mean]

[pasodoble]

I'm only saying! I think the only one who has to worry today is the real culprit.

[aozaki]

Your spirit is certainly hard to argue against. Have you been making headway in the investigation behind our backs?

[pasodoble]

I wish I could say yes but... All I have is my own word for now.

[aozaki]

This is against my usual stance, but you treated me to a drink the other night, and while I've never spoken to the victim, he's a wingmate. [aka "I guess I'll give it a try this time" - what do you mean she should've done this from the start.] What do you think you got so far?

[pasodoble]

( Oh, well. That's new. No one really ever asks him for what he thinks, huh. )

I can't really think of anything. ...They say an eastern style sword was found, didn't they? It's true that I'm a swordsman but I'm not familiar with that type at all. ... Are any of us? I don't know.

( He's trying to best but he has nothing oops. )

[aozaki]

...

Have you read the autopsy report or other contestants' information card at all?

[her face, spain.]

[pasodoble]

I told you I'm not very good at this.

( Someone help him. )

[aozaki]

[and she chuckles it off...]

You're quite hopeless, Spain. Has anyone ever told you that?

[pasodoble]

Several people in particular, yes.

( They who shall not be named. )

[aozaki]

[giving a "oh you" sigh at that, before waving him off]

...Keep it up, I suppose. I'll try to get a little more involved this time, for your sake as well.
