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.]

Could he not have been initially pushed down the elevator shaft out of self-defense and then stabbed when the killer had realized what they'd done and tried to cover it up? Though I suppose there is then the question as to how he was stabbed in the front when he was found lying face-down.

No...what you say makes more sense. [She sighs.] I am relieved that it doesn't seem like we will have to vote for someone who was only trying to protect themselves, but it seems like I haven't contributed anything useful to this trial yet either....

It's possible but once Dave was removed from the situation, it isn't really self-defense if the intended victim ran down the hall and the stairs to the basement to finish him. They would have passed or been near quite a few people who could help.

Ah... ( Just going to give her a reassuring smile and give her a pat on the shoulder, ) We still don't know who we're looking for so I wouldn't count you out yet.

I need you to keep doing your best, okay?

[She smiles up at him.] Yes, I will not give up yet! I may have been wrong about, but perhaps I will be right the next time!

And you too, Mr. Spain! You are much smarter than I thought you were! [IS THAT...A COMPLIMENT....]

[pasodoble]

Next time, I'm sure you'll solve the entire mystery.

Thank you--( wait a second. )
