My Public Speaking Class. *sighs* No, it's not a speech for anything important, just homework.

Not necessarily Rojo. A Public Speaking class isn't such a bad idea. I mean anyone can try to get up on the podium and ramble on about whatever nonsense they want. But in this class, you have to organize a speech and present it in the most effective manner. It's not like the toughest class, I admit (sometimes just tedious), but it's useful skill that needs more thought than it appears.
It's 'public speaking' in the sense that good politicians would use when giving speeches. (Granted, some of our politicians should be sent to this class--*coughBush*) It's not just 'go up to someone in public and talk to them' sort of public speaking, and it's not just for shy people. It's trying to teach how to give professional speeches.

Well, why would you want to be a politician? You'd be dead within a minute.

I wouldn't. But I think being able to speak professionally and eloquently would be a really useful tool in life.

Oh...oh, oh! I just realised why he did that! The character looked like Trilby, right? So, to throw off people's suspicions that Trilby is related to Somerset, thus giving away his entire surname, Yahtzee has cleverly stopped all theories. We don't even know what the real SOmerset looked like!
Also: William is related to Ms Taylor from 5 Days.

I heard Trilby was still related to Somerset, the real one. Plus, I believe you find out more about the fake Somerset in 6 days a sacrifice.
I noticed that too!

Finished it. I just need to play 6 days now.... Though so far, I think Trilby's notes has been the best. And scariest.
Yeah, that was a pretty interesting tie-in. I guess that makes Simone Williams's great-great-[as many greats as it takes]-aunt.

How do you know she's his great great [however many it takes] aunt? Maybe she's his mum.
Really? I missed the "SHING SHING SHING!" from 5 Days...

When you play Trilby's Notes, just try to remember that I told you Simone had to be William's great-aunt.
Ah yes, that's right!
