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!

[resumed]

But why would they be excluded in that case?

[axilium]

Maybe it has to do with titles. I've got no clue at this stage.

[resumed]

A title that allows a clean getaway...it's possible. Either that or it's someone else working directly with the goddesses or someone who played the game before.

[vigilantics]

Maybe someone else has a job regarding killing people? We know Historians exist as a role outside of titles, so... there could be others?

Although that just gives us the question of why there would be another one besides Blotters, so maybe that doesn't make sense either.

[resumed]

...extra assurance, maybe. In a war you always need some kind of backup plan, don't you?

[vigilantics]

Yeah, maybe. So my thought process there is, if there is some sort of backup plan running on some other orders, maybe those orders don't count towards the... weekly murder ones...?

[ ??????? ]

[resumed]

Since it's just an extra "just in case" and it's not a specific weekly kill. It makes sense which is unfortunate. It's extraneous at that point so maybe they don't think we need to know.

[vigilantics]

I feel like this is the kind of thing that we won't know for sure until someone actually admits to this.

[resumed]

Think we'll be so lucky?

[vigilantics]

... not any time soon.

[fonlines]

There are other roles that exist.

[ THANKS ION??? ]

I don't have any idea of whether any are killers, however.

[vigilantics]

If there are, then I really doubt they would be broadcasting that.

[fonlines]

I'm sure! But I figured that given as we are how we are, we might as well get that out of the way.

[ he's not outing titles or anything, no worries. ]

[vigilantics]

Well... thanks.

[ she's still concerned about ion but ok ]
