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.]

Wasn't he a deadweight himself?

Maybe it was like a self preservation thing. Kill you before you kill me or whatever?

[pandacea]

Yes, that would make sense. The prizes for killing a deadweight this week were much higher than last week too. And if he believed the incentive for this week...being able to change something in the past could tempt many people.

[speakveryclearly]

I'm not ruling it out entirely, but we did theorize an aggressive Minatsuki last week and that didn't hold up.

Troll Occam's razor says that Dave is the victim. If we find evidence of another individual being attacked, that's another matter.

[notyetlost]

That's because some people in this room like to make totally inaccurate assumptions work everyone in the room up into a frenzy and then run with them.

[Looking at you Susan. And especially you Kanaya. Never forget and never forgive.]

[speakveryclearly]

Oh, don't you get started.

[Waving you off with the derisive flap of his hand.]

I'm just saying it's kinda ironic you're so worried about besmirching innocent people over being murderers now, when you were so good at it last week.

[vytis]

[HI YOU TWO Lithuania is just going to hop in the middle here and smile at you both.]

We should probably focus on this week's murder right now.

[Her joins gain a distinct meta-whiteness from the restraint it is taking her not to fly into a vampiric rage right on the spot.]

Yes. Let's look at the evidence. Which, this week, unchanged from the last, is what I intend to base my decision on. [Which her tone indicates she thinks Poland may or may not have done.]
