CHAPTER 3 ; TRIAL

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 3
29 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 delightful, delectable scent of freshly brewed coffee will linger in the air though there will be no coffee present. Instead, today's trial snacks include...finger foods.

[BARGING IN WITH COFFEE to ask, would anything in particular stand out to another sword? Any signs of recent cleaning, any scratches, any evidence it was writing bad poetry, anything at all?]
alttitude: (» where'd you get the hand grenade?)

[SHRUGS!!!

It had to come up at some point. Face your sins, Natsuo.]

[personal profile] randori 2018-06-30 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Souji was teaching me sword maintenance...
vigilantics: (i like the feeling.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2018-06-30 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is very admirable except for when we are trying to solve a murder.
sanguinairy: (unsure)

[personal profile] sanguinairy 2018-06-30 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[NATSUOOOOOOO WHY ARE YOU THIS WAY........

He's kinda proud though, way to take sword maintenance seriously BUT STILL.]
okitactless: (resting)

[personal profile] okitactless 2018-06-30 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[just

slowly turns to squint at Natsuo]


Natsuo-kun, why...

[personal profile] randori 2018-06-30 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I was trying to take care of it...

[ by smearing oil all over the sword?? look, oil makes things shiny and slick, there were good intentions somewhere ]
okitactless: (rubs eyes)

[personal profile] okitactless 2018-06-30 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[NATSUO PLS

But Natsuo is an official member of the Okita Is Great club, so Yasusada doesn't snap at him; he even offers a small smile, reassuring, if a bit tired.]


It's okay, I don't think any of the weapons here have their spirits with them anyway. [so there's no tsukumogami wandering around feeling Icky at least] I can let you practice on me later, if you want.

[since he can't feel through it right now anyway...]

[personal profile] randori 2018-06-30 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
O...kay?

[ I guess Natsuo will oil Yasusada's body later ]
okitactless: (are you ready?)

[personal profile] okitactless 2018-06-30 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[with old stinky oil, thanks mods]

...Thank you for trying to help, though. [EVEN IF... HE MADE THE SWORD A MESS ON ACCIDENT...]
