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

strip search: now with full(????) nudity dlc

[asswipe]

[SHE'S SO WEARY. LET HER DIE!!!! Which is to say, after talking with Reyna, Veronica's going to stand up in her chair to get everyone's attention. All this short person discourse has got her going like :////, you assholes.]

Hey, uh— Excuse me! Everyone! If I could have you attention, please?

[kill her.]

We noticed that there wasn't any normal blood in any of the rooms we investigated, even though there were signs of a fight in the tailor. I think we can all agree Gi-gan wouldn't have gone down without a fight. [SO... uh.] Her killer might have some kind of bruising they're covering up with their clothes. If we all cooperate and avoid arguing about this, we can get this done so much more quickly — so don't even start. I'm serious about it. Don't do it. [ANYWAY—] The girls can check the girls, and the dudes can check each other. I don't care. Just do whatever helps you feel comfortable enough to get this over with.

[thesettingsun]

[Starts stripping immediately.

...it takes a bit because he has so many layers to take off, but once he's down to his underwear (which he stops at thank god) it's obvious that he has no bruises or injuries from a fight.]

[varas]

[ why this AGAIN ]

[ oh, right. someone has died, etc ]

...

Is there somewhere private we can conduct these searches?

[asswipe]

[This is the worst, but. No bruises or injuries from a fight on her.]

[disilluded]

[no

Especially no.

Extra no.

He's not stripping when it's his own partner that was killed thanks.]

[discardia]

... There's something about me that might make people uncomfortable, so...

If anyone's fine with that...

[ nngh. ]

[selfinserting]

—Wait, what? I...

[sorry veronica!!]

[faceripper]

...Must I? As is quite obvious, I do not bruise or bleed.

[londonstar]

[ el-melloi ii is going to... shyly take his clothes off because good lord he hates this so much. so so much.

but, besides his pale and bony complexion, he has no bruises or injuries! ]

[concasse]

[SURE HE'S GOT NO SHAME.

Though uh.


Sanji is pretty bruised up, folks. Specifically, they look like strikes that would come from a foot or leg.]

And before anyone one of you shitheads or lovely maidens asks--

[Pointing to Jae-Ha]

[hakodate]

[ God, seriously?

He's not sure whether he's rolling his eyes at the idea of the search, or at the prudish reactions, but whatever. Strips down -

There are some old scars - he clearly gets in a lot of shit - but nothing fresh enough to have happened recently. ]

[toughchoices]

[Reyna will cooperate! She's not particularly eager to take off her clothes but ... she can see why it needs to be done.

So she'll just work on undoing her armor...

She has bruises, on her cheek and on her stomach. They look like impact bruises.]

I assume I got these at some point when I ended up on the foot of the stairs.

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha is so down to strip.

It looks like he's definitely been bruised up particularly around his abdomen.

He doesn't seem bothered about this fact.]

[melancoffeea]

[Shame is a human concept. Sandalphon sheds his armor and clothing to reveal no bruises or injuries.]

[vigilantics]

Why.

[ but ok time to strip I GUESS!!!

anyway, again she has some scars, some are... particularly bad looking, but none of those are recent. she does have one bruise that came from this past week though, but it looks older than yesterday at least. ]

[fragileprophet]

[He cooperates with the search, because he cooperates everyone even though this is terrible indecent! He, of course, has the cut on his arm that was just given to him to test his blood, and the palm of his right hand is flushed pink from a fading burn. Other than that, he looks fine!]

[psychedelica]

Are you serious?

[ THIS IS HORRIBLE... but he has to admit that it makes sense.

once he's made sure no girls can see him, he'll take off his clothes for... someone. he actually has no bruises, unlike some of you animals. ]

[sanguinairy]

[Good thing Souji isn't a stuffy ye olde. HE ALSO STRIPS and he really is a scrawny-lookin dude, but he's also pretty scar and blemish-free for a samurai. No recent bruises or injuries!]

[randori]

[ Natsuo absolutely refuses to strip, but he's got his pant legs rolled up to his knees to reveal bruising all up both legs, and he's also still missing his shoes, thanks Dazai. ]

[axilium]

[belph is a normal person with no bruises or anything!]

[fonlines]

[ Ion hangs back for a bit, looking back and forth between the people present, but when he sees the other Ion stripping he relents with more of a resigned but accepting sigh than an embarrassed one.

Outside of the burn on his right hand, he's bruise and injury-free. ]

[wantsitall]

[Well. She's certainly not shy about that so she'll cooperate and it'll reveal there are no bruises or marks on her.]

[alchemenace]

[ hey uh listen ]

I would rather. Not?

[resumed]

[Okay, well, he wasn't thrilled about lifting his pantlegs so like fuck he's stripping? He just kind of backs away toward Reyna again, please help him.]

[spondulix]

[He's refusing to strip, he has dignity! All you're getting is what he did to reveal his legs which are uninjured. That's it.]
