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

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.

[concasse]

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.]

[concasse]

... You okay, Rebecca-chan?

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

[disclosures]

["Nobody here wants to die."

Her gaze stays locked on the ground.]

No. But that's standard for trial days.

[concasse]

[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!

[disclosures]

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

But she still doesn't look up.]

You promise?

[concasse]

Of course! Whatever you'd like.

[disclosures]

That's why you're my favorite.

[Even if she sounds very tired, she's sincere about that.]

We can talk more after trial.
