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.

science was. A Mistake : Dave's blood

[alchemenace]

[ so let's ignore the part where Varian lightly cut a corpse to get this conclusion, but ]

Um, not to alarm anyone, but Dave still bleeds blood. Just. Thought you guys should know.

[axilium]

... What?

[alchemenace]

Please don't make me repeat it.

[ he is so bad with blood ]

[faceripper]

[ Fane nods approvingly. Good scienceing, partner!! But yeah he barely understands how human biology works so he doesn't have anything to add here other than approval. ]

[doublecrows]

. . . [oh]

That-- ruins a few of my theories.

[alchemenace]

It, um, it still works with what I tested it for, I think.

[ he hates blood why is he always volunteering himself for blood tests ]

[doublecrows]

[why ARE you, Varian]

What did you test for, precisely?

[function]

[ that's important but also ]

Where do you keep getting knives.

[alchemenace]

It wasn't a knife, it was an axe.

[function]

[ oh my GOD ]

My point still stands.

[asswipe]

[...]

Hey. The color we, um... bleed, when we die— Do you think it has to do with our titles?

[fonlines]

... In that case, gold for a 'hero,' and purple for a 'villain'?

[ not that it necessarily means anything since Sharpay was a hero!!! and then went and did the thing ]

[asswipe]

[She nods. Sharpay totally did the thing, but she was Cinderella and thus a hero, so...]

And red for a "civilian."

[alchemenace]

That's actually why I checked. Um. Gi-gan was a villain and purple, Sharpay was a hero and gold and Soo-won was also gold, so I thought maybe Dave would... Yeah.

[ hes. hm ]

[resumed]

...but why would two of them be ink and then one of them be normal blood? That seems a little intense.

[asswipe]

This gets better and better.

[ugh.]

There was red blood in the maze, too. If Dave still has red blood... it isn't necessarily the killer's, then.

[thesettingsun]

[Okay after giving the 'blood' a sniff:]

That's ink. It's just red ink. Do you not know to test more than color?

[okitactless]

[Don't do useful things that make him approve of you, Dazai, it's weird]

[function]

. . .

So we're back at square one.

[thesettingsun]

Exactly. Wasted time.

[axilium]

We're lucky to have you with us for all of our sniffing needs.

[thesettingsun]

Literally anyone who has ever smelled blood could tell that that isn't blood. It's embarrassing that you needed me to do that for you.

[alchemenace]

[ I can't read :) ]

........Honestly I see red coming out of a person and I faint, so I did just leave.

[thesettingsun]

[sigh]

Let someone else do the blood tests if you can't handle blood.

[function]

All the more reason to take sharp objects away from you.
