CHAPTER FIVE ; TRIAL

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 5 - WEEK 5
23 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.

I'd rather not. I'm being suspected because of my haughtiness and failure to examine crime scene, but without considering other factors.

First of all, carrying Reyna into the piano takes a great deal of strength. Strength that I do not have. Second, she didn't trust me enough to take anything-- even injured, that girl would have injured me while fighting back. And I'm clean, aren't I?

I'll admit. My stupidity brought this forth. We could have had an easier time solving this, but we can't fucking focus on that.

[...just...giving him a calm sort of look.]

...for someone innocent, you really are protesting a lot, sir. [There are other factors that Nico knows about that he won't say publicly, but he finds this interesting anyway.]

You can blame Zelos over there for riling me up.
resumed: (smile ♕ devious)

[personal profile] resumed 2018-07-15 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I can, actually. [And there's a sharp, cold sort of smile.]

Why are you so riled up by what Zelos has said?
londonstar: (sixty-one.)

Because I cared about Reyna!

[ waver practically yells that out, with uncharacteristic emotion ]

In the last trial, I wanted to clear my suspicion because I was worried! I gave her the space she wanted after our argument! I saw that girl like a student of mine and I could have never done something that fucking terrible! I'm tired of getting blamed for deaths that I did not fucking cause!

[ this is not the first time that waver is being blamed for something! ]

You can still clear your name. If it's tiring, can't you do just that? That "usefulness" you're saving it for is right here.
resumed: (complain ♕ no I'm not!)

[personal profile] resumed 2018-07-15 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not at all phased by the yelling, actually.]

I can believe you cared about her, sure. I can also believe that you would use her for your own gain, not to mention try to bribe her by giving her the information you gave her. [Hi, surprise.] I can believe a lot of things, sir. Just like I can believe certain things may have made certain people act if their hands were tied.

And anyway, tell me something. How is this any different than what you did to her knowing damn well she didn't even have a choice? You get a choice. She didn't because of her curse. That's more of a kindness than deserved after that.

If you really intend to keep from using it yourself, then I suggest you find someone your gut is suspicious of.

Even if it rules out one innocent person, it won't be a waste.
