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.

What did you do to her? [Apparently Zelos deserved whatever happened, sorry to say.]

[holybind]

Sheesh! Why am I immediately the instigator in this situation?

[ He knows why ]

She paid me a compliment, that's all that happened!

[ that's not an explanation?? ]

[resumed]

Did you force her to do that? [Curious because like. It's Reyna. He knows better than that.]

[holybind]

In a sense.

[ He pauses, trying to figure out how to verbalize this nonsense. ]

I decided to test how accommodating a person she is. She was indeed, very accomodating. However, as I learned she is also very vengeful. I flew too close to the sun, I guess.

[ That's as much explanation as he can provide without Reyna killing him. ]

You got some bodyguard kid.

[thesettingsun]

So, you were testing how obnoxiously you could flirt with her before she snapped.

[Dazai's here to translate from Garbage.]

[holybind]

[ Zelos swats at him, shoo!! ]

You don't need details! This has nothing to do with you!

[ a beat ]

Can't blame a man for trying.

[thesettingsun]

No, but it is hilarious to watch you try to frame this as anything other than you getting rejected.

[holybind]

Hey, who said I got rejected!

[ When unlocks happen you will all Realize ]

All I'm saying is that she may or may not have regretted some of her actions in private and reacted accordingly.

[ Yeah he's not making this better ]

[resumed]

That isn't helping! [There's a huff...but then there's a smile because he's very happy with his bodyguard tyvm.] Just be careful with her.
