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.]

[ You are 100% correct about that, Alice... But he nods with a noise of affirmation and will check out the closet and cabinets as directed! ]

[roadroller]

[Rin's closet seems pretty normal- it is only missing the outfits that have been laid out, and already-worn things have been sort of pushed to the side. In her cabinet, the liquor is untouched. Rin's incentive appears to have been a musical score - an original song that would be guaranteed to be a hit for years to come, and could arguably be the best song of all time.

Rin's laptop is slightly futuristic, and contains has tons and tons of music, as well as tons and tons of fan art of Rin herself. And a combination of the two: Promotional Videos for her songs. It also has some games, and a few downloaded videos... Cat videos. Everyone loves cat videos.

As for something much more juicy, it seems that her info card is correct: Rin was using this computer to back up her own AI data. It's highly encrypted, but if Alice is skilled enough to crack it, she'll have access to Rin's memories and even her very thoughts. .... From her last save, of course.]

[Music, music, art, music, video, cat video, art -- wait. Alice's eyes widen and she smiles.]

Jackpot!

[It might take some time, but if she can crack this it can possibly give a huge insight into the case.]

Clyde, you find anything interesting?

[coca_cola]

A music score of some kind. I'm guessin' that was her incentive for the week.

[ He takes a step back, since he can't take the music score, walking over to the desk to see what she's managed. ]

Sounds like you had better luck. [ NOT THAT HE EVEN KNOWS WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT... being from the 1920s is hard ]

[allice]

[At least you're period appropriate.]

Her laptop is secured with personal data. Remember what I said about robots: they're just machines. And she seems to have used this laptop to store her data. If I can crack the encryption code on it, we might be able to get access to her data and find something useful. Maybe a clue as to what happened before she died.

[She closes the laptop and unplugs the power cord, intending to take both back to the Drawing Room.]

This is going to take me a while, so we should head back if there's nothing else to find here. What do you think?

[coca_cola]

[ He smiles, nodding ]

Sounds like a good way to go to me. I'll leave it in your much more capable hands. Think the musical score is worth mentionin'? It's not exactly like she's a suspect, so I don't know how relevant it is.

[allice]

I'll make sure to note it in our discoveries when we present them to the others. You never know what might be important or not.

[coca_cola]

True. I'll leave explainin' things to you, in that case, since you'll definitely explain this [ He waves a hand towards the laptop ] better than I would.
