CHAPTER 1: TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 1 - WEEK 134 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 Tiger at the head of the table, a glass-covered rose near her right hand. Tick tock, Narrators. You have nine hours to deliberate. Throughout today's trial, the snow continues to fall as it has all week, though it's gentle and soft. Instead of tea and crumpets, today's snack bar includes the makings for s'mores, including sharp metal skewers. A fire could be built, should anyone have anything flammable. Additionally, every now and then, the howls of a group of wolves will penetrate the silence that occasionally falls on the the group...and sometimes even in the heat of the moment. Welcome to your trial post! Please see here for the OOC summary of events from yesterday's investigation. In addition, please be sure to vote!

[Since we're talking about manners and all--]

Hello, Tora-kun. Ryuu-kun isn't coming?

[good riddance, zappy b--]

[themodsgrimm]

Nope! It's just me today, darling!

[Darling, cutie, sweetie.]

[okitactless]

[At least she changes up her nicknames, unlike Yasu who just tacks "kun" onto the end of everyone's name]

Do you ever attend these "trials" together?

[this isn't helpful at all, he's just curious...]

[themodsgrimm]

Maybe we will sometime. I don't really want to, though.

[okitactless]

Me too. She's rude.

[says the sword spirit who wanted to watch someone demonstrate using a toilet]

[themodsgrimm]

Thank you!

[Finally someone who agrees with her. About damn time.]

[Yasu is a biased moron and no one is surprised, the end.

...Except not, because this biased moron's theory from last week is also ruined now, so after some colorful and distracting discussions, he frowns thoughtfully.]

Ne, Tora-kun, those tapestries--Nico-kun, Kyouka-kun, and Ion-kun... are those related to the murders and trials at all? Or is that something different?

[themodsgrimm]

[She yawns. It's early.]

The Classics are just what they are. If someone chooses to highlight those individuals in any other way, I'd say they're just capitalizing on what's in front of them.
