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.]

[So. Unimpressed.] Yeah well I grow tired of your face, so I guess it's good you keep it behind that scarf.

What are you even getting involved for I'm not talking to you, she's not a baby she should be able to defend herself better if she's innocent. [That's the logic that was used with Ukraine anyways.]

[godwhisperer]

She can defend herself more adequately. I am doubtful you could withstand her scorn.

However, your disrespect involves me, as well. And it is disrespect beyond mere suspicion. I cannot ignore it.

[notyetlost]

Seriously? You're the most unhelpful suspect on the list so you have way bigger problems than anything insulting I'm saying.

[godwhisperer]

If you are someone who would choose to condemn me to death because I was unhelpful when a true villain walks free, what would I say or do to change your mind? You are already weak and arbitrary, and there is no changing your nature.

Your impression of me is of no consequence. I will not trouble myself with it. But I will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to make your disrespectful statements in the security of your cowardice.

[notyetlost]

Hey, I'm actually doing stuff and trying.

There's people who commit evil and then there's evil people who do nothing and let it go free. And at the moment you look like you could be both so you might want to work on that.

[Shrug.] I don't know what you just said but it sounded pretty dumb.

[godwhisperer]

You know nothing about me. Nothing. I do not stand idly by when I am offended. But if you truly believe the culprits are evil then you are either a fool or you know nothing of pain.

I pity you in your ignorance.

[notyetlost]

Murder is a sin. Giving into temptation is a sin. Seems pretty cut and dry.

[He does know what Gundam is talking about though. Now's not the time for waxing the poetic on the eternal struggles of what defines evil for a man or a nation though.]

Yeah okay whatever I'm gonna go look around or stab some more stuff now.

[godwhisperer]

Do as you will. I will await the moment when you brittle notion of morality is forced to bend and crumbles in its weakness.
