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.]

The strength of the doors would need to be tested to make certain, but unless only the hilt was used to allow a small gap that could be pried open further from the inside, I do not believe it highly likely.

[humanic]

Okay, chalk that one up to a swing and a miss then. So the doors were probably kept open some other way then.

[souredsweet]

Assuming that the doors were held open at all, I believe so, yes.

Maybe they dropped him from the second or third floor, walked downstairs, opened the first floor elevator shaft door, and picked him back up to stab him.

...For some reason. [Look, they're almost out of time, Lithuania is just throwing out suggestions, okay?]

[humanic]

I don't think any of our suspects have a long enough reach to be able to pick him up off the landing from the elevator door...well, Siren has her hair and Beat has his wings, but we're back to the same problem again.

Plus they they'd have to flip him over after they stabbed him again.

[vytis]

They--they... They built a pulley system, which explains the bruises on the back of his arms and legs, but it was made entirely out of another roll of water-soluble tape and they dumped it in the pond.

...I have no idea.

[inthebones]

Water-soluble adhesive tape.

[Duh.]

[vytis]

This time they must have found tape that was entirely soluble, and that's why we couldn't find it.

[This is why Lithuania is a nation who does office work and not a crime scene investigator.]
