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

[She raises her eyebrows.]

So it seems. And how do you even know it was Thursday night? Jae-Ha and I fell asleep in our room Thursday night.

[vigilantics]

She has a point. We don't know when exactly this happened.

[wantsitall]

[Thanks Steph, you're a pal.]

[function]

Thursday night or Friday morning.

[ ...hm. actually ]

Did anyone check her body for rigor mortis?

[wantsitall]

Rigor-what? [What is this science bullshit?]

[vigilantics]

Corpses become stiff. The longer the person has been dead, the more it would have set in. You can usually figure out an approximate time of death if you know what to look for.

[wantsitall]

Oh. Who actually looked at her body when she was found? Or, I guess, who found her and would have thought to check for something like that?

[vigilantics]

I don't think anyone did. It probably would have been more useful if we did that yesterday versus today though since the sooner you find a body the better, especially since I doubt we have a lot of experts here.
