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.]

A chair from one of the bedrooms, or maybe something from one of the second or third floor rooms, depending on where they were at the time.

[humanic]

They...couldn't have been on the second or third floor when they went down there though, right? Unless the killer's Beat. But if it's not him, that's a pretty far drop and a really long climb back up.

[vytis]

That's true... Maybe they held him out over the elevator shaft while they stabbed him? Unless they dropped him, walked downstairs, and then jumped down from there to stab him, but that seems--kind of excessive.

[humanic]

Yeah, that seems like way too much effort for no point. It'd make sense if they held him over the shaft to stop getting blood everywhere, but they'd have to be really strong in that case, dude's a hundred and forty pounds.

[herpreciousrival]

Wouldn't that most likely cause damage to the chair?

[vytis]

I would think so, yes. ...Of course, this is assuming the doors would close on anything that was blocking their path and don't have a sensor to prevent that.

[herpreciousrival]

It's still something worth looking at.
