week 4 - trial

week four 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.]

[Whoa, turning back around.]

You dare address me so? Do you know what has been sacrificed, what prices have been paid, to obtain my methods? Even if the cost is my own blood...I would not reveal it to those I have not acknowledged. So then, ignorant one, do what you wish.

[allice]

This isn't a game, this is your life! If you won't tell me, then tell SOMEONE in here! Like Susan or your girlfriend or whatever!

[ Pretending not to hear that but she blushes anyway. ]

I- insolent one!

Hrrk...

Very well. You may inquire as to my young protege. Not the contents of our training, but that it occurred during those hours.

[pandacea]

It's true! Mr. Gundam has much knowledge to impart on me and Xiaomei. His vast experience with both his Dark Gods and the arcane will no doubt be priceless in my search for immortality!

[allice]

[...

Sure.]

So Gundam was with you at 8am. Thank you both for sharing this. Don't worry, I don't need to know the contents of the 'training'.

[teenspirit]

Please... It's really important...

You and I both know we did not commit this crime! So please... We ought to comply...

[godwhisperer]

I will not comply with blackmail to my person. My secrets must remain secret.

...However, if the nattering one will persist in accosting me, I will at least verify my actions were elsewhere.

[teenspirit]

That's all you need to do. No one would be foolish enough to attempt to thieve your magic. You just need to let them know you weren't planning a murder...

[godwhisperer]

As it happens, I was with May Chang during that time, so it would not have been possible.
