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.]

[glancing over! and then moving closer once realizing that was a direct address rather than just a name said in passing.]

The sword found in the elevator shaft? That is correct. [a nod]

[pasodoble]

So you know a thing or two about how to use them? The report said there were multiple stab wounds.

In my style, if you use a rapier, you can pierce and thrust like this to create stab wounds. ( With one hand to his back and another in front of him as if he were holding a phantom rapier, Spain tries to show, ) But most of the attacks would still involve a lot of slashing. ( And he raises the "sword hand" in the air as if to slash diagonally across something before bringing it down to his side. ) Is it the same or different with a katana?

[souredsweet]

[while Kaoru isn't familiar with rapiers, the display is enough to earn Spain a nod.]

That is largely the case for katanas, but there are also a few slight differences. The katana is not intended for piercing or stabbing due to its shape. It is possible, but the blade itself is one-sided and designed for cutting. [a frown.] If Mr. Strider happened to be familiar with katanas, he would be aware of this. His attacker, on the other hand...

[pasodoble]

I thought so. ( He'll give Kaoru a smile, ) Thank you.

( And he'll continue explaining to May. )

[souredsweet]

You are welcome. [a slight bow.]

If there is anything else that you might need confirmed, please do not hesitate to ask me. I have examined the body already, but I am not certain that anything I have found would be worthy of noting...
