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!

[ Where are you scooting away to, Eichi?

Kyouka's going to appear from not quite nowhere and stare him down. ]

[finethanks]

K-Kyouka-chan...

[He actually starts a little.] Ah, your steps were you silent and your presence was concealed... Please don't approach me like that or I may have a heart attack.

[again???]

[nivation]

You already had one.

[ There's a question in her statement. Can he guess it? ]

[finethanks]

...No, it wasn't that.

[He sighs, rubbing at his left arm.] I couldn't recall for some time after that, but my memory recovered slowly. I had taken pills from the infirmary to help with my heart issues. It was fine for some hours, but while I was making tea, it seems that my heart stopped.

For four minutes, I believe?

[ kyouka "i can tell you what to cut to immobilize a person but not what constitutes a heart attack" izumi will accept that it wasn't one.

four minutes is still alarming! it doesn't show on her face, but that's alarming. ]

Too much medicine can be poison. I'm glad you are here.

[ Because that should have killed him. Probably. ]

[finethanks]

Without my medicine, my symptoms grow worse... I was getting desperate, since even going up or down the stairs causes me to take a break on the landings.

[It's annoying.]

But thank you. I'm glad that I'm fine. Somehow... [He should have heavy brain damage at the VERY LEAST, and yet??]

[nivation]

[ and yet?? he's fine to be the best mean girl he can be ]

Could you appeal to the Crafters? I... don't know much about medicine, but...

[finethanks]

I'm not sure that I'd trust it even if I did ask.
