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.

It's possible that it just came from the Crafters, in which case we won't find it anywhere.

[concasse]

Oh right, they might've provided the poison.

-- Even still, a poison doesn't have to be medically-inclined.

[sanguinairy]

If it smells medicinal, maybe it wasn't a poison? I don't know much about them, but it seems strange for a poison to have a smell that could be mistaken for a medication.

[concasse]

-- So maybe this shit was just someone's medicine?

[??? Listen he hasn't had a cigarette all day, don't make him think]

[sanguinairy]

[Bring Sanji his cigs and coffee 2k18!!!!]

I don't know that anyone here has any, but it's possible... Or like Varian says, it could have been some sort of non-lethal drug? If the plants out here are poisonous, that might be something to consider, too. Some may have a smell that's similar to medicine.

[alchemenace]

My initial theory was that he could've been drugged, too. A high enough dose could also be lethal, not to mention if it lowered his heart rate and they left him to die in the cold. I don't know of any medicine that causes a rash, though.

[ like. on purpose anyway. ]

[sanguinairy]

Neither do I... [The future is weird though, who knows, maybe a rash-inducing medicine exists!!] A rash sounds more like a bad reaction to something you shouldn't consume, to me.

[axilium]

Yeah, drug rashes are usually caused by allergic reactions.

[alchemenace]

It would be really unlucky if they got the one drug that would make Soo-won have an allergic reaction.

[ hm ]

I know we have a lot of sick people here [ tuberculosis will get us all ] was Soo-won one of them? Maybe they hid whatever it was in his medicine?

[ this is fake ]

[axilium]

... If he were sick, would he even have his medication here? His tapestry says his item is a sword, so...

[alchemenace]

[ sighs ]

Yeah, it was a stretch. To be honest, I'm still trying to figure out why he'd accept a tea cup from anyone on a Thursday.

[ was he a FOOL ]

[toughchoices]

Perhaps he didn't perceive them as a threat...?

[alchemenace]

So it has to be someone he would ... trust? Or someone who doesn't look like a threat?

[ he knows nothing of soo-won what was his tHOUGHT PROCESS ]

[toughchoices]

I'm not sure anyone knew him well enough to be trusted. So - someone who appears unthreatening, in that case.

[alchemenace]

And that's someone who would look unthreatening to him.

[ he didn't look that threatening himself tbh so that's. hard to gauge. i can't believe it was ion ]

[fragileprophet]

[Talk shit get hit motherfucker.]

[alchemenace]

[ you're eon bitch get it right ]
