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.]

The entire situation is not lining up properly, at this point.

[terriblesister]

Plus... it's a difficult victim. Like Minatsuki...

[souredsweet]

As it was pointed out, though, the autopsy report does not say that Miss Kagamine's time of death is only an appearance. I believe that we can safely assume it did indeed occur between 3:00 and 3:30.

[terriblesister]

It's not that it's just... she's a robot. It just complicates things. That's what tripped us up last time...

[souredsweet]

[that gets a hum. even though Rin hadn't seemed any different from the rest of them, "robot" is a little beyond Kaoru's time.]

I am afraid that I know nothing of what Miss Kagamine is. I fear any speculations I might have may be incorrect, accordingly... But I believe that it at least helps to know a rough time frame. Between 3:00 and 3:30, both Miss Sto Helit and Miss Aozaki do not have strong alibis, unless someone spotted either of them. Likewise, Mr. Tanaka has twenty minutes unaccounted for and claims to be in the place least likely for anyone else to corroborate.

[terriblesister]

I was with her in the courtyard for a bit... [she doesn't want to suspect Susan though.]

She's er... well, she's a robot. It- She's like a machine. Or a doll that can walk and talk. Built by people. Where I'm from they're... trying to do things like that but they're nowhere near that far.

[souredsweet]

Ah... To think that the future has such things... [ALARMING.] ...Was Miss Kagamine alive at all, then? I do not wish to sound cruel, but it might be possible that such a thing has changed the evidence somehow.

[terriblesister]

She must have been in some way, to count for this game...

Like I said, be careful about that...

[souredsweet]

[yeah the complete lack of robot knowledge is just making Kaoru want to ollie out of this investigation. a polite headshake, and then:]

I cannot offer any speculation. My knowledge has too many holes in it.
