grimmoired | CHAPTER SEVEN ; TRIAL

The Story Continues...
CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 711 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.

The garden is strangely silent and there are no snacks today...it seems as though you'll be left to your own devices.

So, uh. We should have enough ink to write Dragon and Tiger's new stories, revive all the dead, and send everyone back home. I talked to Dragon, and... I'm considering we try to reincarnate their lost loved ones? She said it would be possible and wouldn't cost them that much ink, if we can't bring them back to life.

[ since it. sounds like they can't do that??? ]

... That's not a bad alternative. Assuming Tiger accepts it, anyway.

She's pretty upset about her family, so it at least seems like a... compromise...?

"Pretty upset" sounds like an understatement.

Dragon is also doesn't really want to keep going since all her loved ones are gone. But since we apparently can't let one of them live without the other...

... Yeah, let's not give Hiro's last hoorah an encore by letting Dragon and Tiger die. Please.

I'm pretty sure we are all done with people dying for no reason. They've been through enough.

Even he advised against such an ending, so I think I quite agree: let's not.

[ who knows how that'll fuck them all over ]

It isn't really inaccurate though, is it?

No, just an understatement.

Reincarnation costs less than just reviving them, huh...

[The rules to this game are so weird]

But I say we try it. Whatever Tiger-sama might've done, she doesn't deserve to suffer anymore than Dragon-sama does.

I agree. Dragon seemed... okay with the idea, so it's just Tiger we'd probably need to talk to? I didn't get to chat with her last night.

Neither did I.

Though Souji mentioned talking with her a few days ago, and she didn't seem against the idea of alternatives. So... shitty fingers crossed.

I'll see if I can talk to her after the trial then. It'll be better if we get her opinion before... whatever it is that happens is supposed to happen.

... Is there any way we can do that before the trial ends? I'm worried about how quickly things will go to hell once Sanji and Souji... you know.

... we'd need Tiger for that.

[ and, as you know, dragon is the one here. ]

And Tiger has shown up mid trial before. We could ask Dragon if she could get here to come here?

Yeah, I agree with trying to find a way to do it pre-trial end?

Please. I don't want to take any chances.

... I'd like to help Tiger, too, if we can. She's— I don't think she's as bad as some of us might think.

She's not.

... She's a grieving mother who made a hasty choice, I think. Doesn't excuse the war, but it's a position half of us might've found ourselves in with enough bad luck.

[They can afford to be kind to her]

Oh, I'm sure a lot of people here would've done the same.

[looks at all the yans]

... Yes, there might be quite the few parallels among our number.

[ shruggo. the metatext gestures at. all of fitz, for one. please help he was partnered to this for a month ]

If that's an option, I support it.

[ Reincarnation is not the same as bringing back to life, but it's still another chance at life. ]

[ she nods her head. ]

Thank you.
