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!

I've had it confirmed that there were five total Historians.

[ ... were? ]

Sousei was a villain. He, um. According to the Historian I've been speaking to, he was also one of them.

[londonstar]

I see.

[ waver puts a hand to his chin, thinking about it ]

Could that be a reason for why he was killed? Not everyone had access to this information before today. They could have thought that it was necessary to bring the Historians down in order to bring forth a good ending.

[axilium]

... Reception towards the Historians did seem kind of frosty when the Crafters revealed them a few weeks ago.

[alchemenace]

It's possible? We won't know for sure unless we figure out his killer. He and--[ breathes in. exhales. let's start that again. ] ...and Jae-ha were both partners. I don't believe it's a coincidence that they were both taken out.

[axilium]

... Yeah. Jae-ha was a pretty well-liked guy, though, so...

[alchemenace]

... Yeah.

[ :( ]

If we assume it was the same killer-- or two people working together-- and that they knew about Sousei's role, they might have been afraid Sousei would've told him too much? But this is all speculation.
