week 4 - trial

[productions]

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.]

Suspect Rooms

[respecting]

[Beat looks at the body and Rin's info card and decides nope, he's not technical enough to deal with robot murders. Time to make better use of himself.]

Yo! Who's doin' room searches this time? I can go!

[speakveryclearly]

[Kanaya's not for obvious reasons but she sure is turning over her keys.]

[respecting]

[Apparently he picked the one week people are finicky about this, so he's looking grateful for the cooperation.]

Thanks, yo.

[speakveryclearly]

[Despairing glance over at the others squabbling yeah...]

Any time, though of course I'd prefer not to be put in this position again. It's not as if this should be a surprise by now, though.

[godwhisperer]

My room is not to be searched.

[speakveryclearly]

...

Not even by the Dread Queen of Calamity?

[godwhisperer]

...I would permit that, if her word will be accepted.

[mostlymarried]

[oh fuck that]

If you refuse, we will break your door down.

[godwhisperer]

Hahaha. You threaten so idly.

You are welcome to try.

[respecting]

What!? Why not?

[godwhisperer]

Because it is my room. I will not allow my space to be trespassed. It is simple.

Merely because I have been chosen by this insolent hostess does not mean I am compelled to surrender every element of my being. I will never allow her to control my life or desires.

If you chose to execute me based on this, then so be it.

[pandacea]

Mr. Gundam...I know this must be hard for you, but please trust us. I know you are innocent, but we must convince the others of that as well.

[godwhisperer]

...

I cannot allow this.

[humanic]

[raises a hand]

Me and Susan kinda had a deal where if either of us was ever a suspect, we'd search the other's room since I've already been in hers and she was all pissy about me totally legitimately investigating every detail that could be suspicious. So I can check hers out.

[respecting]

Huh, then I guess you'd know best if there was anything different. Works for me.

[inthebones]

[thank you stiles +10000 susan points]

Not that I don't trust you with my room [have you ever seen susan look less trusting at this moment probably not] but we did, after all, have an agreement.

[Susan will hand her keys to Stiles and crap now I have to update my notes.]

[teenspirit]

[ Looking pale and worried, she hands over her keys. ]

P-please don't examine my intimates. I want to be able to get married one day.

[respecting]

Huh?

[...Now that she mentions it, he would be going into a bunch of girl's rooms, wouldn't he...]

--Yo, I didn't even think of that! Should I get another girl to go wit' me?

[teenspirit]

I would, um, I would appreciate that. B-because there are certain things a girl has that she doesn't want to show to any man but her future spouse... I hope you understand.

[allice]

I'll search Touko's room with one other person. I assume that's fine with you, Touko?

[aozaki]

[Idly fishing out her keys from her pocket to give to Alice, with a light shrug.]

That's fine, just watch your step. I never bothered with keeping a tidy work space, although if you're searching rooms, make sure to check every cupboard and take note of the incentive object. Motive can account for a lot, though I wouldn't mind either, telling you what's in mine now.

[allice]

We'll see what it is when we get there. It should be in the same place as everyone else's if we aren't around to even touch it.

[To the crowd:]

Anyone want to tag along with me? One more person should do it.

[aozaki]

Again, make sure to note down the object in the cupboard. You might as well gauge the incentive this week, if you'll be doing room searches anyhow.

[respecting]

Fo' sho! That's the best part!

[He's not even pretending he's not curious about it. For once there's no secret to the incentive.]

[aozaki]

[She had to laugh despite the circumstances...]

You're a little too eager, Beat. How many rooms did you call dibs on, already?
