week 1 — trial

[mcmurderer]

As the morning brings on a new day, there is no true indication of time. The grandfather clocks in the homes seem to spin endlessly, not landing on a single number. The sound of trumpets and a snare drum plays on the bridge, once again ushering people to investigate what is going on. The energetic and regal musical display is not the only thing visible: a horse-drawn carriage is being lead towards the Red Queen's Timeshare. The windows are closed with velvet drapery, the horse decorated with hearts and card motifs. The White Rabbit trails behind the carriage, calling out as if on a script:

"Her Majesty summons you all to the Red Queen's Timeshare for a breakfast unbirthday celebration! Join us and don't — d-d-d-don't be late! Never late! An audience is mandatory and — o-our trial begins now!"

If you follow the impromptu welcome parade, you'll find by the time you get to the Timeshare, there is no one in the carriage. There are no card guards blocking you from entry now. The front doors of the building are opened wide — grand hallways and bedrooms on reflective mirror floors fill the home's first floor. This is quite a nice display of riches and privilege. As you venture into the room the White Rabbit is ushering everyone into, you'll find a giant courtroom. Rows of seats face an oversized giant judging podium. Behind it, sits The Queen of Hearts, the surprisingly beautiful ruler of this land and coercer of this unbirthday celebration. There are two tables in front of her, one for accusing and one for defending.

On the left side of the room, you'll find the bodies of the deceased. On the right side of the room, a small voting booth with a list of profiles of every resident.

At long last, will you find yourself closer to finding a way out?
