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. Welcome to your trial post! Please see here for the OOC summary of events from yesterday's investigation. In addition, please be sure to vote!

NOBODY VOTE FOR AKECHI. I'M GOING TO TEAR HIM APART WITH MY BARE HANDS.

[asswipe]

You are absolutely not, Natsuo! That isn't the answer!

[randori]

HE'S MY FRIEND! I WON'T LET ANYBODY ELSE TOUCH HIM!

[asswipe]

And you're going to become a murderer just because of that?! Think this through!

[randori]

HE CAN LIVE WITH ONE ARM.

[asswipe]

No ripping his arm off, either! Holy shit!

[function]

[ surprisingly

this sounds extremely reasonable to her

live your revenge life, natsuo ]

[wagashis]

...Natsuo.

[just. lightly setting a hand on his shoulder there.]

[randori]

[ he's going to shrug that hand off???? don't stop him, this is my chance to use angry icons ]

[wagashis]

[honestly? that's a fuckin mood.

but shirasu lets him shrug it off, with a faint little smile. go for it then.]

[hairbrain]

Natsuo --- calm down! Please!

[fonlines]

[ He didn't think you were capable of it, Natsuo! ]

Please don't-- not while you're still healing.

[ afterwards though ]

[randori]

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I CAN! I WON'T LET YOU GUYS TAKE HIM!

[londonstar]

[ natsuo has two shoulders and waver is going to place his hand on the one shirasu isnt. ]

Stop.

[randori]

[ y'all going to have to pile on him tbh ]

I'm not! He still hasn't told me anything!! He can't die before he tells me why!!!

[londonstar]

And you think beating him senseless will?!

[ FINE HE’LL SLAP HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD. ]

Unfortunately, sometimes people are cruel for the sake of obtaining something they want. They’ll throw others under the bus without a care in the world.

[randori]

[ ouch?? he grits his teeth at the slap but just to turn around and face waver ]

We were friends!!! We were all becoming friends!!!! He didn't have to do that— no matter what it was, he didn't!!

[okitactless]

Natsuo-kun, don't.

[When the murder weapon tells you to calm down you know you need to find your chill]

[randori]

[ He has no chill but he has two people holding him back by the shoulders so
external chill ]

Just let me!!

[doublecrows]

[holy shit]

[stares at Natsuo, eyes wide, expression slack and pale with his inability to breathe properly]

[randori]

[ points at eyes
points at you




that icon keeps killing me ]

[doublecrows]

[why is Natsuo?? like this?? he doesn't understand???]

[axilium]

[... well, honestly, he won't stop natsuo, but holy shit the guy can be scary when he tries.]
