PROLOGUE : TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... PROLOGUE - WEEK 037 Narrators Remain ; Wakey wakey, naughty murder children. It's a lovely Saturday, after all. Breakfast is served piping hot at its usual time and all of the evidence has been removed from the scenes of yesterday. No matter how you choose to spent your morning though, the clock will begin to chime the moment both hands reach the large, ornate twelve. Before your eyes materializes a door...but not just any door. Unlike the door leading to the festival, this door sits primly and properly right in front of the foyer. Whether you exit the castle on your own or you feel a friendly, invisible push, you begin to walk under an arc of wisterias. Behind you, the clock continues to chime with every step you take. By the time the time the clock strikes twelve, you've entered a beautiful garden. In front of you is a long table, 19 seats on each side. Around the garden are several glass cases containing evidence collected yesterday. As noon intensifies on the sun-shaped clock, you'll find Dragon at the head of the table, a glass-covered rose near her right hand. Tick tock, Narrators. You have nine hours to deliberate. Welcome to your first trial post! Please see here for the OOC summary of events from yesterday's investigation. In addition, please be sure to vote! Please see the voting page on how to vote, as we will have two special things to vote for. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST! If you have any questions, please ask on our Discord server or ping us on plurk. Please direct pings for the NPC to Dana (decals), as she will be taking point for today's NPC, and the moderator team will be on deck for all other questions. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[finethanks]

Natsuo-kun is the type of person who, if guilty, would probably yell so at the top of his lungs, you know? That innocent comment should be ignored.

[resumed]

[A slight grin.] Let me guess, you're going back to bed after this?

[toughchoices]

[glances at the dragon's flower]

It looks like we're a little more than halfway finished.

[alchemenace]

[ is the blood consistent with how much her wounds would have bled or is there More ]

[vigilantics]

Seriously, I volunteer as tribute, dudes.

[psychedelica]

Hey. Why are there two of you, anyway? This is confusing.

[toughchoices]

I don't disagree - but he should take care with how he speaks. It would be unfortunate if, should we find ourselves grasping at straws, we had nothing else to clutch at but that sort of admission.

[disilluded]

[It's terrible]

Yes. She's as valid a suspect as any, regardless of what people would claim about her clothing. [DAZAI]

[resumed]

[There's a sigh and he leans his head on the table to watch.] Great. So we're just kind of wasting time. But at least we're outside.

[alchemenace]

Oh, yeah, I was thinking, we could nickname them? So it gets less confusing. No offense, Ions.

[ listen he's a serial nicknamer now that's his job i'm doing this ]

[unromanceable]

You're doing your best, Natsuo-kun.

[nivation]

[ She cares because Jae-ha cares.

But if Jae-ha is the one telling her to leave it, she will. ]

Okay. If you say so.

[ She'll follow his order abide his request. ]

[fragileprophet]

[AH OH GOD]

I'm--sorry!

[themodsgrimm]

We have our own roles to fulfill - but providing details as to what they are will disrupt the game.

[wearys]

Maybe. It's just too bad we can't sleep out here, this is nice.

[ outside > inside ]

[themodsgrimm]

[It's consistent!]

[randori]

It's an ability, right?! One of those magic gift things everybody has???

[ there's no way he noticed something like this just this now????? ]

[fragileprophet]

No, we're both...individuals!

[Sort?? Of???]

There's just two of us!

[randori]

[ cries, yeah, Monika gets him!!! so maybe screw you, jae-ha?!]]

[fragileprophet]

It's very hard to explain, I'm sorry.

[Puts a hand to his head.]

[psychedelica]

One of you should cut your hair or something like that. Otherwise, you could use the fact that you look identical to try and trick us.

[randori]

I'm not the only one who can do it! I bet there's lots of people who can!! It's not that hard!

[finethanks]

Did you hear that, Natsuo-kun? You're being scolded, so please do your best to behave. Consider your words before they're spoken.

[randori]

But like- before! Before you got magicked here!! There was only one, right!?

[alchemenace]

[ i dON'T KNOW WHAT TO CHECK ANYMORE anyway there's no other ink on the outside of it, right? what about dents or scuffs. does it look like it recently took a beating. ]
