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.]

Nothing in this game is fair. That they put up a completely innocent pair of friends just because they would look more suspicious in light of--[She won't say it. She shakes her head.] It's unconscionable, every trial.

Sometimes I think - their true intention is to just let this game run until every single one of us is dead, retired or not, that we were all brought here as toys to be played with only once.

I hope that doesn't happen. I hope you make it out, back to your city and squad and army.

I will make sure of it. I won't die here. [and it's a promise and a thanks as much as she's capable of expressing, but Annie does leave quickly before she allows herself to hear an answer.]
