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.]

That's true, she's in Sapphire Wing, isn't she? [He pauses a moment.] That wing is getting a bit--empty, isn't it?

[Unfortunate reminders of everything that's gone on.]

We'll be down to two out of five guests before the day is out, yes.

It's kind of funny - before this week's popularity lists were revealed I had actually thought I was going to have to kill Mr. Altman if anyone.

I wonder if we shouldn't shuffle the wings around. It seems like a bad idea for some wings to be mostly deserted.

[vytis]

...I bet the Hostess won't let us for exactly that reason. [Sigh.]

[obsideo]

You're probably right.
