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.]

Exactly, seem. How do you think they create dead bodies for movies or television? We're on a game show, it's not meant to be real. It's just meant to look real.

But Latvia did tell me that when he died, he would be willing to let an autopsy by one of us be performed on his body just to "prove me wrong."

[souredsweet]

[oh god latvia why... kaoru looks vaguely horrified.]

Truly...? He wishes to prove you wrong to such an extent? [AND "WHEN" HE DIED just how pessimistic is the guy!!] I can only hope that matters will not progress that far.

[throe]

He refuses to believe it couldn't be possible that everything here is just a set-up for the show enough to let an "autopsy" be performed on him by one of us. [ She shrugs. ] But only if it's cleaned up nicely after we're done.

[souredsweet]

At least there are people here who would be able to perform it respectfully. [but the entire turn of conversation seems to have made Kaoru pretty uncomfortable.]

—Still, while I... do not entirely find it reasonable to believe that everything here is entirely falsified, I do not wish for anyone else to potentially risk their lives in order to prove it.

[throe]

If he's actually dead then it wouldn't be risking his life much.

[souredsweet]

[THIS IS TERRIBLE... Kaoru makes a vague noise of discontent.]

It would be nice if we should not have to fret at all about the possibility of anyone else dying at all, unrealistic as it may seem by this point.

[throe]

The game runners expect a "murder" every week regardless, otherwise there isn't a show. Which is the entire point of this entire thing.

[souredsweet]

I still maintain that a way out of this place might be found.

[even after three weeks... granted Kaoru hasn't seen many people looking around lately, what with the whole being preoccupied with not dying thing.]
