grimmoired | CHAPTER FIVE ; TRIAL

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!

Interesting...

[Squinting a little]

So this means there's five historians total?

There were. Yes.

[ were. ]

... Who was the Historian who passed on?

Sousei. I don't know the others' identities, but since he died, they felt they could tell me.

And he was a Villain, too.

[So they Mc'Doubled fucked up.

Brilliant.]

Anyways... not gonna lie, the part that gets me the most is Tiger-sama apparently died, but she's... fine now?

Is that just the magic talking...?

[SANJI HATES MAGIC]

No, that's... that's definitely something that literally happened.

[Dazai's looking at the rest of disaster squad - Okita, Evan, Veronica - for if he should share more.]

.... What.

[LOOKING AT ALL FOUR OF Y'ALL]

[SHRUG EMOJI???

Varian's saying what she knows re: Tiger, anyway.]

She got better?

[ listen she died and came back he doesn't know what else to say to that ]

... If nothing else, good to know they can't be killed permanently.

It'll keep anyone else for having the same idea.

From what I understand, that action is why Beauty and Beast were both banished? So we really should not try that again.

... About that.

Did the Historian you talked with know why Tiger "deserved" to die, by chance?

No. That's-- that part of the letter I'm not sure of. It was originally blotted our? But. That's what fit the most in context with the space given.

[Nodding along.

... Honestly Sanji is just stalling the most important point here, and eventually sighs.]

So, really, we need to be really damned careful about who dies.

We lost a lot of Villains as is. [Rubbing his neck]

What about Jae-Ha and Reyna-chan? Does anyone know?

Edited 2018-07-14 18:02 (UTC)

They both bleed crimson. So they were civilians.

... We got a lot of Heroes walking around.

[LISTEN HE WOULD NOT HAVE CARED IF NOT FOR ALL THIS NEW INFO.]

So are you saying the Blotters should be aiming to kill the Heroes? I don't even know if the Blotters know the Titles they're killing each week.

Frankly?

If these new requirements for a good ending aren't bullshit and there are people who will be forced to kill regardless, yeah, rather they take out some of the group that's still got a lot of people in 'em.

[...]

But of course, that's all the more reason for people not to share their Titles. No one wants to die.

[Her gaze falls down as she flinches.

That might not be as true as he thinks.]

Edited 2018-07-14 18:22 (UTC)

... You okay, Rebecca-chan?

[LIKE HE WAS KINDA HARSH but he didn't mean to make her flinch]

["Nobody here wants to die."

Her gaze stays locked on the ground.]

No. But that's standard for trial days.

[MmmmmmMMMMMMMboy

Well, unable to know what she's thinking--]

Yeah, was dumb of me to ask.

[He tries the "CHEER UP" method. Of course he does]

Don't worry, I'll make you something after all of this is over!

[She'll talk to him after trial. Like she normally does.

But she still doesn't look up.]

You promise?

[ this is before Reyna was found and Varian would, again, rather die than ever look closely at jae-ha! So! ]

I'm ... not sure.

[SPINS UP THESE TIMELINES LIKE SOUP IN A POT ~~shhh~~

Given the answer Rebecca has provided!]

Civilians, it seems like.
