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.

Hmph. Perhaps. I've never seen someone care about a co— [ Hey, look, he catches himself! ] ...A body so much. Not when there is a more important use for it.

[ But anyways! Back to mcstabbins—

Fane will stab Gi-Gan with the knife first and then the shoe, followed by the opposite. He uses enough force each time with the first stab to drive it roughly as deep as the original wounds to be sure that the comparison is as close as possible. ]

[Fane will find that the knife goes in more smoothly than the shoe, given its sharpness, and then the shoe will widen the wound.

In comparison, the shoe punctures the skin as it enters, the knife then sliding in more easily afterward.

In the end, both wounds appear identical.]

[faceripper]

[ Fane is definitely careful and methodical, examining each carefully, and when he draws back, his tone is somewhat pleased. ]

Why, they appear to be perfectly identical to me. At least from this, there's no way to tell which came first.

[ ...so it's only pleased because he got to confirm it. He's a scholar, so you have to be thorough with identifying your claims! ]

[alttitude]

[Idly, as he moves to retrieve Gi-gan's body again to return to the glass case.]

Congratulations.

[He's going to take back his mom now.]
