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.]

[He nods appreciatively.]

Of course. All are welcome to suspect. However, all that needs be known is that I do not have an alibi for that time. It is no more suspicious than the period Susan went for a stroll and was unaccounted for. Why that point cannot be grasped...

Don't know if you're lookin' for a serious answer or not, but for me? It's the phrasing. "Tended to the requirements of the Dark Gods," "not for mortal eyes," things like that.

Would you prefer I attempt to deceive?

I'd prefer if you were straightforward. Like the Dread Queen of Calamity, that was Miss Sonia, right? Could just say that instead.

You...you know nothing.

And that's the problem, ain't it?
