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!

[ah. bad.

anyway, she's checking the stab wound on jae-ha's neck first. comparing the dagger to it, does it look like a match? or is veronica going to have to, you know, stab the other side of his neck. cries.]

[themodsgrimm]

[It looks like it's a match - the blade could probably fit in there. She'd have to actually stab it in there to know for sure, though.

Or she could stab the other side of his neck and see if it makes a matching wound but does she really wanna do that with Kyouka freaking out over there.]

[asswipe]

[... On second thought, she totally does not want to do that.

She's going to take a good, hard look at the already existing wound before carefully carefully shoving the dagger in there to see if anything changes. Does it make the wound bigger or fuck it up in any way, or nah?]

[themodsgrimm]

[It does not! It's a perfect match.

Will she check the other corpses?]

[asswipe]

[She will, and she's going to hate it. :/

Okay, looking at Reyna's body next. After double checking the stab wound over her heart to memorize its original appearance, will slotting the dagger into it change anything? Or is it another match?]

[themodsgrimm]

[It is another perfect match!

Will she check Sousei for good measure?]

[asswipe]

[SHE'S ALREADY GOTTEN THIS FAR... Might as well for the sake of being thorough.

Repeating the process again, will the dagger match the wound on his upper left arm?]

[themodsgrimm]

[The dagger doesn't quite match! It would fit in there, but the wound is mangled enough that it's.... bigger than the dagger itself.]

[asswipe]

[hm. bad.]
