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

In my room, yeah. Where else would I get them from?

[spondulix]

And they weren't moved around in any way?

I ask because our skeleton man did prove that the wound was made by a stiletto heel exactly like yours.

[wantsitall]

They were still in my room when I went back to it on Friday. Everything about my room was still the same except for the part where Jae-Ha and I weren't in it and I was dumped in my pajamas out in the hallway.

[spondulix]

Can anyone verify that you went to sleep in your room last night?

[wantsitall]

Jae-Ha can.

[spondulix]

Was he in the room with you, or did he simply escort you? He's one of the ones who went missing, too, after all.

[wantsitall]

He was in the room with me. You can ask him yourself.

[sup]

It would be rude to leave a lady alone after an already frightening morning. I keep watch at night, if you're looking for confirmation that she sleeps.

[spondulix]

Did you know where Sharpay was when you escorting Gi-gan around 7pm, though? What time did you meet up with her?

[alttitude]

[ . . . ]

I don't - I was with someone else.

I met up with Miss Sharpay only right before curfew - when she asked me to stay.

[spondulix]

So, there was two hours where she was unaccounted for, then. And who were you with, before curfew?

[alttitude]

[he doesn't like where you're going with this, man

but he answers, voice tight]

I was with Sanji.

[he can confirm that much at least]
