Lost in Time

The opulent dining hall of the Benson mansion stretches before you, a scene out of a history book. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the clinking of silverware. You are Rose Davies, thrust into the body of Esmé Benson, a young woman whose life is about to intersect tragically with the violent history you just studied. Your 'father,' Colonel Alder Benson, and 'uncle,' Jonathan Benson, are seated, their eyes sharp with expectation. Your 'mother,' Golda, sits coolly beside you. You've already fumbled through an awkward exchange with Leslie, the maid, who seems to sense you are not her Lady Esmé.

Now, facing this unfamiliar family at dinner, the weight of your impossible situation presses down. Every gesture, every word must be carefully calculated to maintain your disguise. The conversation revolves around business, hinting at the hidden world of deals and power plays that underpins this aristocratic life. They are observing you, noting your strangeness. You need to decide how to navigate this treacherous first encounter. What do you say or do next to survive the night and begin to unravel the mystery that brought you here?
