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.]

She sure does enjoy her useless junk.

[Seriously Touko what is all of this. She picks up the cat toys to examine them and eyes the cigarettes under the pillow, wondering why anyone would just stash cigarettes underneath a pillow of all things. She sighs and rummages through the chest before giving up.]

Found anything useful Kaoru?

[aozaki]

[THE CORNER IS me failing to clear proper lines and not proofreading myself when moving things around

home to too many empty cigarette boxes, stacked up in the shape of the Big Ben.

Just listen to Alice, she pretty much nailed it. Touko hoards useless junk and sometimes she makes useful and nice things out of them.

THAT'S IT, REALLY.]

[souredsweet]

[touko please...

Kaoru turns back to face Alice with a headshake.]

I am afraid that I have not found anything incriminating, no. It is a mess, but there is nothing here that stands out in particular to me...

[allice]

I don't see anything useful either. We'll have to ask her what the "incentive" she received is, but other than that I think we're good in here. Wanna get going?

[souredsweet]

All right. Ah— should we take the chloroform to empty?

[just because that's kind of become par for the course on the room investigations and it generally seems safer.]

[allice]

Oh, good thinking. It hasn't been used from the looks of it, but I don't think Touko will throw a fit over us disposing of it.

[She goes to the nightstand to take the bottle out and hands it off to Kaoru.]

You can do the honors.

[souredsweet]

[takes it with a nod.]

Thank you. I will dispose of it after the trial; for now, I will leave it on the table. If that's all, then... [with one last glance around the room, Kaoru will turn to head back toward the door.]
