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.]

Oh, Sonia, I know it's quite unfortunate for my race but please don't worry for my personal fate... I'm one of the heinous undead, remember? I've gotten killed before, it's really not all that much to fear.

At least only one innocent had to die because of me instead of two...
teenspirit: (blew)

It's not fair...! You did it out of love...! And devotion!
speakveryclearly: Kanaya reapplying jade lipstick, tainted with human blood, to her sparkling bloody face. (Preparing)

Life isn't fair. Death is at least equal.
teenspirit: (school)

...

If I, if I make it through this game... I'll find a way...! I'll find a way to deliver that object to your world...!

[ An absurd promise, and maybe impossible, but... maybe... Maybe if she lives through this, she can ask for a prize that can make things right for everyone who died... ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

That makes two of you. [Glancing over at Gundam, who had made a similar promise. Maybe with their resources combined - the wealth of an entire nation and the greatest biological knowledge on Earth - it would be possible...?

She feels like Troll Hazel Grace right now in realizing that a funeral is for the living.]
teenspirit: (sifting)

Then that's... a double promise...
speakveryclearly: Kanaya stares at the viewer with a sharp predatory glow, glaring jade-ringed eyes and matching lipstick. (Very Serious)

Like a marriage...

[She still has only the vaguest idea of what marriage is but it does seem pretty important to Sonia]
