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 let a potential killer get a free pass because all they gotta do is pretend to be a prude.

[WOW]

[doublecrows]

[oh my god]

[Akechi shakes his head, gaze narrowing]

That would only happen if we ignore the plethora of other evidence in front of us. Are you questioning my reasoning as a profession, Sanji-san?

[concasse]

I'm questioning your shitty logic when we got the chance shut this case quickly.

[Having a lot of evidence does not magically negate the need for a body search?? What the hell, man, Sanji is honestly confused by the stupid.]

Shit, even Souji stripped, and that poor bastard looks ready to drop.

[LITERALLY NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE HERE]

[sanguinairy]

[ET TU SANJI]

[concasse]

[You're one of the few males in this castle he likes but SOUJI TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF]

[sanguinairy]

[LOOK HE'S TRYING if you ignore the fact that he spent all week out in the cold and definitely make things Worse. He's fine.]

[doublecrows]

If you'll notice, I'm far from the only one who feels this way.

[peer pressure!!!]

Hikage-san offered to assist me. I'll take him up on it.

[concasse]

Yeah I don't give a shit.

[#pirate]

But if you've got someone vouching for you, fine.

[HE IS HERE FOR RESULTS]

[doublecrows]

[everyone is so pushy]

I would hate for this to become a pattern from week to week.

[BYE SANJI, time to go to the Hikage stripping corner]
