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!

As far as we could, given the conditions. We didn't encounter that minotaur, but it didn't seem as if anyone went further than... well. Leaving a leg behind.

[also because I forgot up there: if anyone hasn't seen him since wednesday, he does actually have a pretty nasty bruise on his jaw. thanks he hates it.]

[Shirasu what happened to your face...but anyway.]

...I assume you mean Jae-Ha's leg, given the state of his body. But that brings up the question of what was it doing there if they found him elsewhere?

[wagashis]

I've wondered the same thing. The killers here seem to have a fondness for doing this...

[fingies... leggy...]

Unfortunately for us, the rain made it impossible to find anything but the leg itself.

[resumed]

But we didn't find muddied tracks anywhere else, did we? [Hm...] I wish we could at least confirm his place of death. That would make some things easier.
