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.]

Seems plausible to me. Finding something that big seems to have a handful of consequences that I was just curious if you wanted to change them. [ She smirks. ] But they say fate catches up with you regardless.

Wishing it never existed would possibly affect all of evolution on our planet. Wishing the people who had found it hadn't would just mean someone else would have. Wishing I wasn't involved would just mean no one would have gotten the word out, and given I was living nearby I would have run into it later anyways.

I can't think of anything I could have done to change things that doesn't result in something just as shitty.

It's like I said before, I don't think you could have pulled off something this. It couldn't be possible with how articulate this is.

No offense. [ Her tone clearly states that she doesn't think it matters if she's actually offended him or not. ]

It's true. I'm good at a lot of things, but they all involve seismic readouts and piloting tiny submarines. I'm shitty in a fight and I doubt I'm even in decent enough shape anymore to move someone Dave's size without smearing blood on every surface of the manor.

Even if our victim was planning to attack one either you or Reiko Aya instead, then that would pin a self-defense "murder" on the both of you. If that's the case, I think it would have been messier, even with the allotted time to clean everything up.

It's just way too calculated, like every clue is meant there for a reason.

Self-defense wounds don't look like that. He was mutilated. Someone is trying to set him up as the murderer.
