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.

[reyna "let's midtrial murder someone to save the blotters' partners" ramirez-arellano can't believe she has to explain this to natsuo]

We don't know what the Other Side is like. They're there - for now - but we've been given reason to believe they are trapped there. The Dragon also said earlier that only if we achieve a happy ending can the dead be brought back.

There's no guarantee that they will stay there. You wish to kill everyone on the chance that we'd simply all be banished forever? You're willing to throw your life away so easily? [...this bothers her more than she realized when she'd started talking] Then make that choice for yourself, if you're afraid to get attached to the others here, but some of us still have reasons to try and get back home.

To do what you've suggested would be to take the coward's way out.

It's not!! I just want this to be over with, and like Ion said, it'll be harder if it gets drawn out!

You can't suggest killing everyone simply because it's easier! What sort of ending is even worth anything if you just take the easy way out?

Who cares if it's worth anything, if people are alive and don't have to kill anymore?

You have an awful lot of faith in the idea that they'll remain that way once enough of of us perish for this game to end.

We know the Beauty and the Beast are still there, and we know that the people who have died so far in this iteration of the war are there. But neither the book in the library nor the letters anyone received have mentioned the people who died in the previous round of this war. What happened to them?

Did they vanish when their war ended? Will anyone who dies here do the same when ours ends? Think, Natsuo. We know there's a way to bring them back. You don't know that what's on the Other Side is any sort of life worth living.

We'll write to them, and then we'll know!!

[ "Think"
tired laughs ]


What about that, after we write to them and know what's going on over there. Maybe it's not so bad over there.

If that's a decision you wish to make for yourself - then make it, but for yourself alone.

[he will never convince her to murder everyone in this garden]

But spending an eternity in some place which might not be that bad isn't enough for me. I want to go home.
