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.]

( Just going to get out of the way and put on this shitty smile. )

Are you awake now?

[notyetlost]

[It takes Poland a second to stop being disoriented and process what just happened but when he does--]

Why did you do that?!

[pasodoble]

I wanted to talk to you!

( That's all. Really. )

[notyetlost]

[If Poland wasn't totally tangled in the tablecloth he would be launching peas at him.]

Why can't you just get my attention like a normal person you jerk?!

[pasodoble]

I called your name. Is that not how you get someones' attention at your house?

[notyetlost]

[You know who takes naps all over this damn house? You Spain.

Poland will have his revenge.]

What?

[pasodoble]

( Poland and Rapture should team up. )

Why does Miss Kaoru call you Lord Polska?

[notyetlost]

Because that's my name? [To her anyways.]

[pasodoble]

I thought it was Poland.

[notyetlost]

Polska's just Polish for Poland.

Do I need to explain like what a Lord is too?

[pasodoble]

( Wow, Poland, if Spain didn't know any better, he'd think you were mad. )

No, no. Stiles said you were pretty important... just like me! But at my house, I haven't been called "Lord" in a long time, you know? ( Okay, maybe not. ) Is that what everyone calls you?

[notyetlost]

[Wow, Spain, I wonder why he might seem that way as he picks peas out his top and pulls himself off the floor.]

I am important. Like super important.

Wow, that sucks for you that you lost your title like that just because you got old. I guess if we ranked all the nations here that means I'm totally at the top here too!

[Literally no one calls him that back home, but Spain doesn't need to know that.]

[pasodoble]

( Just a casual shrug )

There aren't any lords at my house anymore so there can't be any titles. ( It's a touchy subject, oops. ) I don't know about that though...

Stiles said we're both important! So I'm going to see how good you really are!

[Poland yawns sleepily.] Fascinating.

[Wait what? What did Poland just get himself into.] Um. ...okay?
