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.]

I see! In that case, that should clear you perfectly since Miss Yuzu is not a suspect and can back you up!

[inthebones]

It is convenient for me, yes. And if she were my accomplice, she wouldn't have counted twice for the ringing of the clock, either - not to mention she'd be on the list of suspects as well.

There was a space of a few minutes where I might have run up and stabbed Rin very quickly, though, if I were daring. This wasn't like Bernkastel's crime that required a full 15.

[pandacea]

But if you did stab her and come back out though, surely Miss Yuzu would have run into you no matter how fast you were. [has conveniently forgotten Susan's invisibility power - or more like it doesn't work on her to begin with] And you wouldn't have had time to grab a sword from your room anyway, yes? So it couldn't have been you!

[inthebones]

Well, given that the sword was obviously taped under the piano in the music room before hand, we can safely assume that's no obstacle.

[she fully expects may to not get the sarcasm no worries]

[pandacea]

Eh? It was? Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? That changes everything!

[inthebones]

...I would say that was an attempt at humor, but honestly, it wouldn't hurt to actually check for tape residue under the piano.
