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

[A nod.] Reyna's a praetor for the Roman army...so a commander, basically. She's taken down huge monsters and all kinds of stuff before. There isn't a lot that could overpower her.

[...] Unless she was already weakened by something else and left in a more vulnerable state.

[He doesn't look at Nico, but...]

...Poison?

[resumed]

[Sorry, was that the wind? He doesn't exactly answer, but there's a shrug. So yes, it's possible.]

[concasse]

[So she's basically the equivalent of a Straw Hat. Gotcha.]

Did anyone check her mouth?

[For poison, he means]

[resumed]

I don't know. I think we need to examine the bodies again--all three of them, if we can--to rule out those weaknesses. [A pause.] ...I haven't wanted to check hers since she returned, but I suppose I can.

[concasse]

I'll do it.

[...]

Sit this one out, okay? Or check on Jae-ha or Sousei.

[resumed]

Okay. [A pause.] Thank you, Sanji. [But before he does that, he'll catch up on what other theories people are floating while Sanji goes to do that.]

[londonstar]

If we get a similar scent from both the vial and her mouth, we could ascertain that whatever was in the vial was used to weaken her.

[ BUT SINCE ZELOS IS BEING A LITTLE BITCH BABY...ok no he'd rather not have a poisoned nico or sanji ]

[resumed]

That's what I'm thinking as well. Or at least get confirmation she ingested something at all. It would at least narrow things down for us.
