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.]

Who gets a free sword and thinks, "Ah, yes. This would be a great way to keep a door open."

( He's so offended by this now. He's basically just ranting. )

But I don't think it's impossible. Perhaps not length wise because it could always slip but if it was by the hilt... Or if the blade was strong enough, you could pry it that way.

I dunno. Who gets a skeleton key and thinks 'Hey, let's plant this on the dead guy'?

If it could slip, that'd be way too dangerous. The killer couldn't risk even the smallest chance of the doors closing before they could get out. Could you really pry an elevator door open with a katana though?

Someone trying to frame Dave for attempted murder! But then who would want to frame him when they could just get away with it.

Someone that wants us to feel bad enough for them to not vote at all?!

( They're running out of time. )
