CHAPTER FIVE ; TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... CHAPTER 5 - WEEK 523 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 Dragon 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, cookies and cakes will be served as your trial snacks, along with hot cocoa...served in sippycups. 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! If you have any questions, please ask on our Discord server or ping us on plurk. Please direct pings for the NPC to Dana (decals), as she will be taking point for today's NPC, and the moderator team will be on deck for all other questions. full navigation. locations taken (statuses) stories (profiles) info & faq wishing well private conversations

[ There's a lot to do today, but Natsuo comes wailing at Dragon first thing in the morning, like he wants to say something really really really badly but knows this isn't the time for this, but. Just the one question, to satisfy him for now. ]

Did you guys kill anybody this week?

[themodsgrimm]

[She doesn't look happy about what she has to say... but she shakes her head.]

It is too soon for a question of that nature. I cannot answer.

You may inquire again at 6.

[randori]

Ugh... Okay.

[ He/I will probably forget, maybe, but okay. ]

I'll be back! I won't let you get away with something like that again.

[randori]

[ I don't know what time zone Grimm is in but assuming it's past six now ]

Dragon, will you answer me now?

[themodsgrimm]

[You're still on thin ice after the Luigi Board, Natsuo.

So she looks at him and - though she doesn't look happy about what she has to say - she nods.]

We had Narrators who needed to be removed.

[randori]

[ excuse you?? ]

Nobody NEEDS to be removed!!! DRAGON, THAT'S STILL MURDER!!!!!

[themodsgrimm]

[Simply:]

I am aware.

[Her brow furrows and a frown pulls at her lips.]

But clearly you still do not understand the concept of necessity in this, even after weeks in motion. I cannot explain further, but I have no interest in making you all suffer without reason.

[ . . . ]

And please, lower your voice.

[randori]

[ hisses out in one of those stage whispers that's sort of lowering his voice but is still quiet loud ]

We're suffering without reason if you guys are killing people off! You and Tiger aren't supposed to be part of the war, right? stay out of it!

[themodsgrimm]

[ . . . ]

I understand that you have the mind of a child.

But kindly be aware of your words.

[randori]

[ That's because he's a child.

He makes a frustrated noise in his throat and makes to leave, but before that- ]

We're not allowed to vote for either of you guys, is that right?

[ Killing, admitting it, and getting away with it, he's not happy ]

[themodsgrimm]

[She knows and she forgives him for it. :( ]

... while I understand you are grieving, I would not recommend it. I don't want to see anything happen to you, if it can be avoided.

[... but that's not a no.]

[randori]

[ He wants to throw a tantrum really really bad, Dragon :( ]

...Okay. I'll do better next week, so you guys don't have to get involved anymore.
