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! Please see the voting page on how to vote, as we will have two special things to vote for. Voting will close at 9pm EST/6pm PST! If you have any questions, please ask on our Discord server or ping us on plurk. Please direct pings for the NPC to Danielle (entrappings), as she will be taking point for today's NPC, and the moderator team will be on deck for all other questions. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[resumed]

Magnus. [It's quiet but also an acceptance. After all, it was the same kind of situation he'd had with Hazel. Stolen from the Underworld and brought back to life without knowing if she'd be able to stay at the end. Maybe that's just how things are.]

Who are you voting for then, in that case?

[wearys]

Akechi. Maybe out of self-preservation? I should vote Ann, she deserves it, but maybe I'm telling myself at least she didn't have a meltdown like that guy.

[ squints into the abyss ]

[resumed]

I don't think there's anything wrong with voting out of self-preservation. And...whatever's going on over there.

[wearys]

Yeah, but you wouldn't think I'd have any self-preservation left. I die all the time. Usually a bit quicker though. Quick axe to the neck, you know.

[resumed]

Man, the Norse branch is so weird...

[wearys]

[ snorts ]

I'd disagree, but yeah no. It is weird.

Hey, so... if there's no sudden resurrection nonsense and I don't go home, tell Annabeth... well, I don't know, she's already been to my funeral. [ pause ] Maybe look into stopping Ragnorok?

[toughchoices]

[sharply, she's interrupting them:]

No, because you'll be telling Annabeth that yourself.

[sorry, reyna would really like to see magnus not die!!]

[wearys]

If you say so.

[ reyna is as intimidating as annabeth so he won't argue. if anything, it makes him believe. ]

[resumed]

...sure. We're working on some stuff back home, but we can add it to the list. But don't say it like that.

[wearys]

There's always something stupid to add to that list, isn't there? Hey, my first actual death was out of no where, so maybe I'm taking the prepared route. And if I don't die, I'll get a happy surprise.

[resumed]

You're not going to die. I don't know how, but...you can't. That's all.

[wearys]

Thanks. I'll try not to.
