CHAPTER 1: TRIAL

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 1 - WEEK 1
34 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!

[ So... That's it, then.

She still can't breathe all that well, but it isn't so bad as long as she doesn't speak and only exerts herself minimally. What more can she do now? They made their choice. What happens next... Well, she can't begin to guess. It isn't her story anymore.

Maybe Akechi will save Shiho. Maybe he won't.

Face scrunching up miserably, Ann buries it in her hand. She still can't breathe well enough to cry, but who cares? Nothing matters now.

She's off to live Happily Ever After. ]

[ she'll slowly walk up to her. she doesn't get close enough to invade ann's space, but she's there. ]

Hey.

[personal profile] varas 2018-06-17 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sniffling audibly, she peers up, out of her hand. ]

Yeah?
vigilantics: (she said to me.)

Asking how you're doing is probably a little dumb, isn't it?

[personal profile] wearys 2018-06-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
So, Ann...

[ what the fuck, partner, ]

Why'd you do it?
varas: (pic#12337642)

[personal profile] varas 2018-06-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Even if you knew, I doubt the answer would satisfy you.

[ Magnus... Was always so nice to her, giving her the bed every night. Now-- ]

Can you partner with someone else?

... Probably not. Just felt like I should ask.

[ he feels like he should be more angry about it, but can't really manage it. ]

I don't know. I don't think that's up to me, is it?
hairbrain: degree in FEELINGS (I don't remember you having a nursing)

[personal profile] hairbrain 2018-06-17 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ann..... Why?

[ she approaches her, speaking lowly -- she's sad but her voice is firm. ]
varas: (pic#12337580)

[personal profile] varas 2018-06-17 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Guess they were pretty persuasive.

[ If Akechi is going to live, why can't they ask him? ]
hairbrain: and our insurance claimed that having a wrist was a pre-existing condition (One time I sprained my wrist)

[personal profile] hairbrain 2018-06-17 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh don't worry ann, akechi's getting a frying pan to the face. among other things. ann, though, she genuinely wants to hear out. ]

What did they offer you? Or.... not offer?

[ waver also feels like he has a curse in his chest. only now he’s realizing that reyna could have died, and that weighs on his shoulders and chest heavily. he probably won’t relax for the rest of the night, either.

but that doesn’t matter. he needs to have a word with ann... for reyna’s sake. ]


Miss Takamaki... you need not talk if you don’t wish to. However... [ he frowns ] I believe Lady Reyna deserves an apology.

[ he closes his eyes, regretful ] It’s a shame that things turned out this way.

[personal profile] varas 2018-06-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[ She wants to protest, I didn't do it - but it would just fall on deaf ears. She might have been ignorant to Akechi's full plans, but that was Ann's own fault. She could have been smarter. She could have paid more attention.

Reyna reassured her after she uncovered Sharpay. She deserves better. ]


I'll tell her.

[personal profile] londonstar 2018-06-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I’m sorry they used you.

[ the hosts. akechi. waver doesn’t even look angry at ann... he pities her, to be honest. ]

There are two questions I have. What are yours and Akechi’s titles?
finethanks: (☆ we'll cast a spell)

[personal profile] finethanks 2018-06-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I have a question.

[With Akechi in his arms, it's fine. His eyes meet Ann's, if he can, a little uncertain, but firm in some way.]

Why target Soo-Won? Was that your intention all along, even while he was someone so quiet and reserved? I never saw much of him at all.
