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.]

[Guess who almost comically spat out her coffee all over Rin's laptop?! She swallows down whats in her mouth quickly, and takes a couple quick breathes.]

What the hell! This is important stuff, Annie!

[AAAAANNNIIIIEEE.]

[hollowheart]

I didn't feel safe mentioning it. [Susan was threatening to lynch her okay]

[allice]

[rgjfjdkg BREATHE ALICE. no time to argue when there is math to be done.]

In the future, if you have something important to say please let us know immediately. No one is going to lynch you for just happening to come across Rin's body.

[Why Annie didn't alert anyone else to it is another story but Annie does what Annie wants.]

Can you at least say around what time you found the body?

[hollowheart]

I came back to the music room at 3:20. That's when I found Rin's body. [She actually sounds pained despite her best efforts at nonchalance.]

[allice]

So Rin was definitely dead by 3:20 for sure. [She nods and doesn't miss the pained tone in Annie's words. Alice noticed that Rin and Annie seemed to spend a lot of time together...so it only makes sense.] Thank you Annie. But please head my words for next time.

[hollowheart]

I didn't touch... Her, but I'm certainly sure she was no longer alive by then. [if there is a next time]

[guess who else is receiving a deathglare]

Could you please actually keep an eye on the person you swore to keep an eye on or didn't you mean your words at all in the slightest?

[allice]

Says the woman who can magically know where anyone is at any point in time. I am not her babysitter.

[inthebones]

I already have my hands full with overseeing six to nine people at a time. You agreed to be responsible for her. If that means checking in on her every half hour, then do it.

[allice]

Fine. I don't need you giving me grief right now over this - what's done is done. I need to get back to work.

[She angrily chugs down some of her coffee and puts her attention back on the laptop. Better things to do than be part of the "Annie says the darndest things" show.]
