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

[Thanks Fitz!!

But nah, Jae-ha's here for answers just as much as anyone else.]

She bled red and it smelled of iron, not ink, before we came here - if that's what you're asking.

[spondulix]

So the purple ink is very new.

[HM!]

Was she the type of woman who could win in a physical fight?

[alttitude]

So long as she wasn't surprised, she could outsmart any brute. She's quite lively for her age, you know?

[was.....]

[spondulix]

Ah, the element of surprise...clearly something that can take advantage of even the most experienced fighter.

...

Do you know what she was doing the night before?

[alttitude]

I was with her for dinner - and walked her to her room at 7 PM.

[he's a good dragon son]

[spondulix]

Was there anything amiss with her? And did she mention she was meeting anybody afterwards?

[alttitude]

No, she was the same Captain as always - and if she'd intended on doing that, she didn't tell me. I was only barely able to get her to agree to let me walk her back to her room each night.
