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 believe that the skeleton key, the map and the compartment are the only other items that might have seen use. With Rin being, ah... what she is, everything else seems largely useless. [AND THEN with Annie stepping forward and all:] ...I will apologize, though, for casting suspicion upon you and Mr. Tanaka before the accomplice theory was proven.

[teenspirit]

It's fine. We will find the real culprit for~ sure!

[souredsweet]

We have certainly narrowed it down, at the very least. If neither you nor Gundam parted ways until 3:10, it would only give either of you a five to ten minute time frame to individually carry out the murder. Without an accomplice or great physical aptitude, such a task seems impossible...

[teenspirit]

...It would be just five, wouldn't it? Since Annie discovered the body at 3:20, and Rin was already missing when Susan checked at 3:15. So if it was myself or Tarou-san, it would have to have taken place within five minutes... and I definitely saw him off into his room... and I was already upstairs with him at that time.

[souredsweet]

Ah— That's right, unless the door was closed by the assailant, Miss Kagamine would have already been dead by then. Five minutes seems even less likely, though... That would leave everyone but Miss Aozaki with an alibi yet again. Miss Sto Helit ran into Miss Aihara outside, correct?

[teenspirit]

Yes... And Annie said she saw no one...

Felicia's theory about someone's alibi not being as solid as it seems... I think that's the trick...

[souredsweet]

It would seem that this week is truly a mirroring of Bernkastel's, then...
