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

SHOE CHECK

[spondulix]

Alright, everybody! The evidence is clear. [CLAP CLAP.] Not that I assume there's ink or blood or anything on anyone's shoes, but well, it's worth a try!

[A beat.]

...Though, if anyone of you does anything to my shoe, I'll sue you. It's made with real leather. I won't have anybody putting a stain on it.

[CHECKING FOR SIZE AND STAINS HERE, COME HERE COME ALL]

[spondulix]

[He takes off his own shoes to start things off - they're spotless and does not match the footprint at all - they're of medium/large size. Also please admire his shoes they're worth so much money MAN HE'S RICH]

[thesettingsun]

[Dazai carefully unlaces his boots and pulls them off, then holds them up for everyone to see. They're about medium size, and they have no stains of any kind.]

[disilluded]

[What an obnoxious way to ask.

I mean Sousei probably didn't do it since killing his partner would've been suicide?? But you can look at his shoe anyway, it doesn't match and there's no ink. Thanks.]

[alchemenace]

[ Varian takes off a single dark boot to show it off-- it is appropriately itty bitty sized for him and stainless. also taking off his shoe he eats shit and falls after a few awkward hops because he's not a graceful kid, ok ]

[fragileprophet]

[Ion takes off his shoes--they're white flats that would be effectively impossible to get an ink stain out of short of a miracle or magic. They're small in size, clean from stains, and don't match the shape of the imprint.]

[disclosures]

[They're small shoes with no stains.]

[alttitude]

[jae-ha's shoes have to hold dragon leggy so way too big and no ink]

[varas]

[ Fortunately, Ann is out of the onesie and back in proper clothes now, and that includes shoes! Her feet are about the small side of mid-sized for a woman's, not a match with no stains. ]

[sanguinairy]

[Souji wears geta that don't leave a regular shoe impression, but they're on the medium-small side and ink-free.]

[randori]

[ Natsuo's shoes are small, platform shoes that adds an extra inch or so to his height, the bottoms of which are coated completely with black ink. ]

[discardia]

[ Cardia will wobble a bit, but tug off a boot. It's in a small size! It also has no stains. ]

[concasse]

[Sanji''s feet are large, good for kicking, and no ink stains.]

[vigilantics]

[ she's wearing her batgirl boots?? they are... women combat boot size idk. but no ink. ]

[holybind]

[ his shoes are probably medium sized? Idk how feet work? No stains, not a match. ]

[asswipe]

[Veronica's shoes are medium sized, black and void of any recent ink stains.]

[function]

[ 2b doesn't take off her shoe, but she holds it out. stiletto heels, small feet, no ink. ]

[wagashis]

[he has a reasonable shoe size for his height so like. medium?? but it's also clean!]

[nivation]

[ Suing Kyouka will net Fitzgerald nothing, and he knows that more than anyone else here.

Anyway, she wears geta; her shoe size is small and there is no ink on them. ]

Re: SHOE CHECK

[faceripper]

[ Fane’s boots are a medium/large and have no stains! They do look super shitty though. Like he definitely stole these shoes from someone probably not alive, but don’t worry, this was well before the game!! ]

[wantsitall]

[She has decent balance and doesn't take off her shoe because ew, no thanks, but she's wearing a small women's shoe, a heel, no stains.]

[toughchoices]

[Reyna's wearing boots! Nice, sturdy leather boots. On the sole where a shoe size would normally be, there's an etched "VII".

Also there's no stains! Yay!]

[doublecrows]

[FOR COMPLETIONIST'S SAKE: medium/large shoe size, no ink!!]

[resumed]

[He has beat-up black sneakers, high-tops probably, and they have really old stains like he's owned them for years but no new stains or anything like that.]

[unromanceable]

[ Monika probably has to lean on someone to keep her balance while she plucks a shoe off from beneath the long skirt of her dress-- it's a small size, and it's clean as a whistle (ink-wise). ]
