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.

drink to forget the trial

[hairbrain]

Okay, guyyyys! I have an idea, and it might be kind of weird, but please bear with me here.

[ she raises a cup of hot cocoa. ]

Fane threw his journal into the well and was cursed with not being able to hold onto his memories --- so I think maybe one --- or both? of the killers just miiiight be cursed from throwing the tea cup into the well. Journals are for keeping memories, after all, and not being able to keep them is kind of the opposite. So, if they are cursed.... it could be medicine-related or it could just be drinking related, so I want everyone just to drink a cup of hot cocoa with me now. Okay?

[ what better options do they have at this point? ]

Please.

[disilluded]

[Honestly yeah... he just sighs, shaking his head.]

Fine then. We may as well test every possible outcome.

[No matter how small...

He'll take some cocoa and drink! No issues here.]

[hairbrain]

Sorry. Thanks for trying it out! At least you get to drink something nice?

[ don't be mad saucy. ]

[thesettingsun]

It's worth trying.

[Dazai pours himself a cup of hot cocoa and has a drink.

Perfectly normal here.]

[toughchoices]

[hot chocolate never makes a day worse

reyna sighs and grabs a cup]

We're thinking in circles, anyway. Even if it turns out that no one is cursed, maybe a small break will help.

[time to drink!]

[discardia]

Mm. We should try everything we can.

[ she is also fine! ]

[selfinserting]

[He gives her a nod and drinks the cocoa with no problem.]

[function]

. . .

[ she will acquiesce, and is successfully able to drink! she's just been being stuffy about eating things :T ]

[nivation]

[ Kyouka drinks without issues and is fine afterwards. ]

[finethanks]

Ah... Can I have tea, instead? I've left my own teacup in my room, but I'd prefer something relaxing, right now.

[He's down for tea time where's it at]

[okitactless]

If you say so, Rapunzel-kun.

[He'll do it for you, partner...!

He's also never had cocoa before, so he is absolutely going to burn his tongue like a dingus.]

Ow--!

[Other than that, no problems.]

[alchemenace]

[ who's got a barista uniform and can drink hot cocoa. this guy ]

[doublecrows]

We are running out of options.

[takes a cup of hot cocoa and drinks it! no issues here at all]

[sanguinairy]

[A toast to running around in circles like headless chickens!! He drinks the hot cocoa just fine.]

[asswipe]

... Yeah, okay. Leave no stone unturned, right?

[She can drink the hot cocoa with no trouble!]

[randori]

[ Yes!!!! He's here for the cocoa. And the ...s'mores ingredients since we don't have a fire yet. Hella, cold chocolate and graham crackers. ]

[holybind]

Well, since you asked nicely!

[ Zelos takes a sip! No issues here! ]

[faceripper]

...Must I?

[ He sighs. Heavily. Because there's one problem with him like. Eating or drinking. ]

I'd rather not ruin my clothes, so if I'm to drink, I will be taking all of them off.

[varas]

[ Ann drinks as requested, swallowing without any trouble ]

All good!

[melancoffeea]

[ coffee would have been better. anyway, sandalphon drinks the cocoa with no issue. ]

[axilium]

We're all going to die.

[with that, he takes a sip, and aside from being sad it's not alcohol, he's fine.]

[vigilantics]

I asked people to bench press me last trial so I can't really say no here?

[ she'll drink it just fine. ]

[psychedelica]

This is ridiculous...

[ he does it, though. no problems here... ]

[fragileprophet]

[He just looks really happy to drink something hot. :(

And he's fine.]

[concasse]

[Sanji's not really a sweet person but eh, IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

He drinks it no problems.]
