CHAPTER 3 ; TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 329 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. 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!

We do. The choice of an eastern sword in particular stands out... but there's too many possibilities to infer that I don't know if focusing on that would help.

[alttitude]

It's worth considering - it was only a recent discovery in the armory, wasn't it? It looks better looked after than the rest of the ones found as well. The killers may have requested it, but I'm still interested in what it exactly it was used for.

[vigilantics]

It would be easier to cut off someone's fingers with a sword instead of a knife, if it happened in one go.

[alttitude]

.... I would hope it happened all in one go.

[that's just

cruel otherwise]

[vigilantics]

All the cuts were even, so either yes or someone tried very hard to make it look that way?

[alttitude]

So it happened during a probable struggle - or someone was being cold and cruel.

... an interesting set of options.

I don't suppose there are any signs of restraint on him?

[vigilantics]

... not that I know of. We should probably go check.

[jae-ha just sighs
