CHAPTER SEVEN ; TRIAL

[themodsgrimm]

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. 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 or sooner if the game ICly elects so. 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

SO, THE FUCK GUYS

[vigilantics]

[ steph stares at what the fuck all of that is, then back to the group at large. ]

So uh. We might need to speed up the whole Souji and Sanji thing? Because of. Whatever the hell this all is.

[asswipe]

Seconded. We don't know what the fuck is going to happen once we go through those doors, and I don't want to risk a no vote from all of us.

[fonlines]

[ ... ]

Would they not immediately appear as one of the dead?

[axilium]

Looks like Sanji's not getting any rest.

[fonlines]

There's no rest for the wicked, after all.

[ a slightly amused point in it, considering what they were. no rest for jan, no rest for belph! ]

[axilium]

Unfortunately.

[damn it]

[vigilantics]

This is so awkward.

[concasse]

[-- GOD.

HE DOESN'T EVEN GET TO REST.]

[asswipe]

[AWKWARDLY PATS HIS SHOULDER

THERE, THERE.]

[concasse]

[loooking to the ghosts with a wince, he did not want them to see this up close!

Oh well.]

Whatever you guys want.

[vigilantics]

Well... it doesn't really feel right to make this decision without your input, Sanji.

[concasse]

[SIGH]

Let's get it over with.

[vigilantics]

...

[ pats him on the shoulder. ]

[sanguinairy]

[YEAH PROBABLY A THING THEY SHOULD DO, MAYBE. Anyway he figures with Magnus standing down no one else will object the vote, so he doesn't bother with that. He'll look over toward Sanji, instead.]

...Shall we?

[concasse]

[This is honestly not how he wanted some of this to go...!

But he won't be sour about it, they're at the home stretch. Sanji folds his arms and nods]

Alright.

[sanguinairy]

[THIS IS A BAD TIME HONESTLY??

But if Sanji's giving the okay and no one has any objections, i guess he's just going to unsheathe his blade here and now?! With no tremor in his hands, it's a ridiculously fluid motion.]

--Then, are you prepared?

[Just a standard executioner's question.]

[concasse]

... Yeah.

[Closing his eyes. He doesn't move.]

Go on.

[disclosures]

[Rebecca is just glaring at him.]

[concasse]

[Honestly Sanji just looks tiredly back at her]

[disclosures]

[Hurry up and die already so she can punch him.

She knows what she said, but also...]

[nivation]

[ Kyouka closes her eyes. ]

I'll go with what the majority wants on the timing.

[resumed]

[A frown.] I'm with you on this one. [This. Sucks no matter what.]

[vigilantics]

... yeah, that'll be best.

[wearys]

Yeah, same.

[ he's given up on yeeting ]

[nivation]

[ thanks, magnus. kyouka would have to do something about his yeeting, if he continued. ]
