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.

[But what if there are bruises on his, you know, you know...

Anyway, uh. Other than maybe the very rare stray scratch from the hedge maze, it doesn't look like his body is injured at all (not counting the slit throat).]

[alchemenace]

[ if there are bruises on his you know someone not playing an underage child can check so i don't go to tumblr prison

speaking of that slit throat: y'all said it wasn't too deep. did it touch an artery? how deep is not too deep? does it look like someone cleaned around the wound? ]

[themodsgrimm]

[No arteries were touched in the making of this throat-slash. It's just deep enough to be bloody but not necessarily fatal, and nobody cleaned the wound or touched it after it appeared.]

[alchemenace]

[ going by how deep the wound is would varian be able to tell how long it would take for someone to bleed out with it, especially if we consider it takes longer to bleed to death in the cold




i'm sorry for this mods ]

[themodsgrimm]

[Probably not!]

[alchemenace]

[ thank god. ok uhhhh if he checks eyes + mouth is there anything of interest in there. i am WORKING on a THEORY that is PROBABLY WRONG ]

[themodsgrimm]

[Well. It's hard to identify much around the eyes, but look at that. There's a rash and some irritation around and inside his mouth.]

[alchemenace]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can i get some detail on that rash or is this where you tell me to shut up and live with with being right for once in my life ]

[randori]

[ me with my medical background, that Natsuo would not ask specifically but maybe he'd be able to see: is it just a rash, or is there swelling in his throat and/or lips that would suggest an allergic reaction? ]

[themodsgrimm]

[There would be no evidence of an allergic reaction but if someone icly would be able to check, in theory, they could find evidence of cardiac arrest.]

[vigilantics]

[ steph, a bullshit bat detective, can look at this.

yes. she'd know. ]

[londonstar]

[ waver is also a bullshit detective with an encyclopedia worth of knowledge in a lot of useless and useful shit.

he actually... will have a look at soo-won’s mouth with the rash.

does it smell like anything strange? ]

[themodsgrimm]

[It smells mostly like tea, with lingering hints of a faint medicinally herbal scent and also slightly bitter/foul.]
