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.]

[A sigh. She probably has been giving him a hard time, but she's just frustrated by his attitude.]

It'd be a lot easier if he were willing to cooperate.

[teenspirit]

He has his reasons. He may be guilty of acting mysterious, but please believe me when I say he is innocent of this deed.

[allice]

I'm afraid that isn't much coming from another suspect, but we'll see what happens. If he's innocent then he has nothing to fear of us searching his room or being interrogated. I won't let another go the way of Ukraine if I can help it.

[teenspirit]

I think it's not that he's hiding something, he's just... shy?

[allice]

I don't think that's the word for it. ["Overcompensating" is her view, but she doesn't want to be too rude. Plus this is a derail anyhow.] We'll talk about any issues he has another time, when he isn't being accused of murder. As long as he promises to play nice, things should go smoothly.
