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.

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]

[hairbrain]

Well, you can ask the tiger lady? But we don't have any right now.

[ otherwise she would have said tea first. ]

[finethanks]

[BAH... he's too tired to walk over there.]

In that case, it's probably better to stay consistent. Just a sip is enough, right?

[So, he has a little drink! It's fine.]

[hairbrain]

Do you not like hot cocoa, Eichi?

[ drink the whole cup binch. ]

[finethanks]

It's nice on occasion, but Reyna-chan brought me some earlier in the week, and too much sugar is like poison to my body.

[hairbrain]

One cup can't be too bad.....

Are you and Reyna friends?

[finethanks]

Fufu, I'm on a very strict diet, actually. Unless you'd like me to die here, as well?

[He's trying to avoid the problems of sugar!! And he's picky and doesn't want too much.]

Anyhow, Reyna-chan and I are on friendly terms, yes. ♪ She was checking on me, I believe.

[hairbrain]

Oh my gosh, of course not! But if you could at least drink half a cup....? That way I can see if my theory checks out. I won't try to make you drink any more, I promise.

That does sound like her, she's very sweet.

[finethanks]

I'll end up with a headache for something like this, but considering I survived the icy halls...

[Fine, he'll drink half.]

[hairbrain]

What if I make it up to you after the trial?

[ she looks happy, though. god, she had to force eichi to drink hot chocolate?? ]

Thank you!

[toughchoices]

[i totally mistook your icon for akechi's at first glance and was about to be like "you said he had a sweet tooth binch"]

[finethanks]
