grimmoired | CHAPTER 1: TRIAL

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.

So it could've been literally anyone, so long as they could get Soo-won a cup of tea.

The question then becomes why Soo-won would accept a drink from anyone, to begin with. Especially on Thursday?

Maybe it wasn't so much accepting it, or, I don't know -- smearing poison on a tea cup? Then, maybe he made himself a cup of tea --- and the killer disposed of the evidence?

[ it's just a theory though. ]

I never spoke to him. Did he seem like kind of a, um. Trusting person?

[ is he throwing a glance at Rapunzel Varian you rude ass bitch that is your princess/friend ]

.... Is something wrong, Varian?

[ hey bitch she saw that. ]

What? Me? Nope, everything's great!

[ :)? ]

Well, you were looking at me for a second there.....

[ while talking about people being too trusting :/ :/ :/ ]

I wasn't sure where you were.

[ deadpan ]

[ :/ ]

Okay, I guess I deserved that.

It's fine, you got frazzled. It, um. Honestly it was kind of funny.

Well, I was pretty worried.... but just as long as you're okay.

Didn't know the guy, but I'm assuming he wouldn't have accepted tea from just anyone... Especially on a Thursday night where people might die.

Was he close with anyone? Maybe if it came from someone he thought he could trust?

[ after two weeks. look he's friends with rapunzel ]

... His partner?

[You best believe if Sanji realized who the partner was he'd keep his mouth shut but here we are]

We found out last week that being executed doesn't necessarily mean your partner suffers the same fate. There's a chance they can live.
