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.]

I was being facetious.

[Susan's tone is mild. She is perfectly aware that she makes so many sarcastic remarks that it's occasionally impossible to tell.]

What is a geophysicist, in any case? Is it at all relevant to anything regarding a crime? I would assume the prefix has something to do with geology?

He told me he found some monolith in South America that was turning people insane and said that it might be an explanation of life of earth itself. [ She pauses. ] But last week, he identified soil, didn't he? I guess maybe the physics part could work, but... guess it just has a lot to do with soil and the earth.

[ It's pretty clear she doesn't pay any attention to jobs outside of music and performing. ]

That's... certainly a find, if true. He told me that he came from a situation where he was about to be pitted in a fight against a monster.

I don't think any of those skills are relevant to committing murders surreptitiously, though.

Geophysics is basically the study of the earth and it's existence in space. It also relates to geology, such as tectonics, the composition of the Earth, and so on.

It's rock science.

I became involved with the Marker--the monolith--because of my experience and because I saw something I shouldn't have. Otherwise, that sort of thing is completely out of my field.
