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.]

Fine.

[vytis]

[And exit the room stage left as quickly as possible! Lithuania won't start talking until they're far enough from the room that he doesn't think they'll be overheard.]

You've been paying attention to the clues we have for this trial, right?

[notyetlost]

Um... [Not as well as he should... actually.]

Yes. Ish.

[vytis]

It's looking like it might be possible that Dave was the one trying to kill someone. It's possible the person we're looking for acted in self-defense. [Lithuania heads downstairs to actually go outside, at least.] It's also possible they could have intercepted him while he was attempting to kill someone else.

[notyetlost]

[He followed along for that part, yes.] Yeah, I think he totally started it.

[vytis]

Let's assume that's true. Let's also assume we figure out who it was. Who are we going to vote to be executed, in that case?

[notyetlost]

... [Oh.]

That's not... fair.

[vytis]

Of course not, but this game isn't fair. People were willing to vote for Miss Ukraine because they didn't want to take a chance at killing a child when it seemed the murder was premeditated by whoever had committed it, right? If it's self-defense, or if whoever did it was behaving heroically, they might very well be even more reluctant.

[Lithuania looks at Poland very seriously.] Who do you think would get executed, then?

[notyetlost]

[...And it's not like Spain or Belarus have exactly been helping themselves.]

That's not happening again this week.

[vytis]

You can't argue with everyone and hold what happened last time over their heads. If this is self-defense, I'm not even sure who I'll end up voting for in the end.

[notyetlost]

... she's not even sorry about it though.

[Poland sighs.]

But yeah. There's nothing on the roof, that's where I was before I went searching for stuff with you.
