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.]

[catch! -fumble- catch! NO WE GOOD.]

G-Got it!

[respecting]

[Beat's room is messy, with the bed un-made, a full trash can, and a bathroom towel thrown over one of the chairs. The wardrobe and chest are lazily open. Their contents are disorganized as though he's had to go through them a lot. Inside the desk, his letter opener is a little bent. The pocket knife is there, seemingly unused, and the chloroform has been emptied.]

[...Boys.

Yuzu will rummage through the wardrobe and clothing checking for any blood or similar stains (whilst praying there isn't any dirty underwear lying around) and checking the towel just on the off-chance.]

[respecting]

[There's nothing out of the ordinary about any of the clothes or the towel. ...But there's totally underwear. What is he supposed to do, this place doesn't have a laundromat. ]

[terriblesister]

[WHHHHYYYY...

Okay, checking the trash, chloroform and the letter opener]

[respecting]

[The chloroform is as described - emptied. The letter opener is definitely kind of scratched and janky, like he was trying to jimmy open a door with it at some point. The trash can has paper that has been slightly written on, scratched out, then crumpled up or torn in frustration - he was trying to get something down, but definitely didn't get very far.]

[checking the pocket knife and in / under the bed as well just for completenesses sake; she did it with everyone else's after all; but she's probably done here...]

[respecting]

[Nothing is off about the knife or under the bed!]

[terriblesister]

[she wraps a little piece of paper labelled 'BEAT' around the empty chloroform bottle, then leaves; everything is left where it should be... ish it's hard to tell okay. She takes the chloroform, letter opener and penknife with her.

AND LET US NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.]
