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.

And flying too—that would take some confidence. ... Then again, so would killing someone with a minotaur hanging around would too. But that aside, what if you accidentally dropped him?

[resumed]

From that height, he could have broken something if he landed wrong and he looked like he was in one piece. I know what broken bones look like. Veronica suggested it's possible someone might have a title that could tame the minotaur, too.

[axilium]

I meant more in the sense of, if I was the killer, I'd be wary about transporting him in a way that could've meant dropping him somewhere I didn't mean to—especially since, if I did, it could give away that he'd been dropped from a large height.

The minotaur theory might have some weight, though.

[resumed]

Oh, yeah, that's a good point.

It would be easier if we knew more about the titles and abilities and when people are using them. But the minotaur theory holds weight. I imagine if you didn't spend a lot of time wasted in the maze you could escape just fine while it was asleep or distracted.
