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.

I spoke with Tiger last night. [They both sat on her floor and drank, it was a time.]

She said that she was the first Tiger involved in this conflict, and Dragon isn't the first Dragon involved in it, but they both come from a long line of Tigers and Dragons. Her son would have inherited the role from her, and so on, and her mother was respected before her... So I don't really think their existence is the problem. Just this war.

Yeah, Tiger and Dragon have always existed. It's just that they lived peaceful lives until Tiger discovered the ink.

Mm... She also seemed to believe that someone would walk out of this unhappy regardless of the choices made, but I don't think either of them are that opposed to trying to find an alternative.

[Dragon just seems Resigned and Tiger is Tiger, but IT'S FINE THEY'RE FINE.]

Dragon said that with their deaths, this specific war would end because there would be no one to inherit it from them.

That doesn't mean there wouldn't be other ones out there, just... none tied to this specific story.
