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.

... Okay, great. That's just... great. Do we remember anything from the tapestries that might give us a clue as to who knows their poisons? Unless we have something that screams I'm deadly don't drink me around here.

[like, you know, drain cleaner.]

[thesettingsun]

...Technically... But I don't have access to any drugs that I would even know how to use, not to mention I don't know how to hide that kind of thing.

[asswipe]

Saying "I don't know" isn't... really an excuse around here, but noted. Thank you, Dazai.

tw: suicide attempt mention

[thesettingsun]

There's a difference between an assassin who knows how to kill someone else with poison, and somebody like me who tried to overdose a few times. Unsuccessfully.

[ wow what an oddly specific example bracket text of Veronica Sawyer from Heathers ]

I haven't seen anything specific like that around here, but is there any title in the list that could have to do with poisons?

[ he doesn't know fairy tales. ]

[asswipe]

[the bracket text is just throwing spaghetti at walls gosh]

Snow White's Prince...? There's a lot of evil witch type titles in the list, though, so I don't know.

[faceripper]

[ well, ]

Ah, yes, I do know something about them. Certainly how to brew them, since it was quite an important skill considering my current state...

[ He shrugs ]

Poison would be quite refreshing for me. In fact, I would appreciate it to stop the Source leaking out of my wrist.

[asswipe]

[oh my god.]

... Can you still drink poison without keeling over, or did that get taken away like other people's abilities?

[Because. There might be a cup that needs closer inspection.]

[faceripper]

[ He sighs ]

Now, how am I supposed to know that?

[ But it is followed with a shrug as his tone turns less sarcastic ]

I could ask, I suppose, but otherwise, the only way to find out is to simply try.

[londonstar]

As a magus and alchemist, I do know my way around some poisons and chemicals. However it is difficult to test for them without the right equipment.

[asswipe]

Or without someone stupid enough to try a hands on approach.

[a beat.]

—Which, by the way, is not an invitation for someone to lick the teacup!
