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.

... Just wait until we're done with the info gathering, all right?

[also in case someone else decides to do a mid-trial murder and oops we need to faction switch after all.]

... What Belph said, please.

[She will personally murder anyone else who decides to mid-trial murder, tho, jfc.]

Also, we're leaving info summarizing to you, Veronica. [a beat.] Unless Steph forgot to mention that that was your duty.

... She did. [uM.] What the fuck, Stephanie Brown?

Oh.

Oops. Then I guess I don't know who's summarizing everything for us.

[BECAUSE IT'S NOT ME, YOU CAN'T MAKE JAN DO THIS.]

[DRAGS HER HAND

DOWN HER FACE]

Jesus Christ, Belph. Just— Is it the last thing she told me that I'm supposed to summarize? What am I sharing with the class here? No pressure.

Like... everything? The backstory stuff, the endings and all the details we know, what'll happen after, etc.

Also, we still have Souji's potion that we should probably use, so if you could explain that too, that'd be great.

[...]

If I miss anything I'm directing questions to you, specifically.

Mmmmmm...

[ponders fleeing to the opposite end of the garden.]

Mmmm yourself, hotshot.

[She will literally tie him to the table if he tries.]

[ his head tilts. ]

I can handle that part, at least, unless someone wishes to correct me.

It is something that can do 'anything the drinker wants, within reason.' He's discussed using it as a sort of... truth telling potion, only good for one, single question. We'd thought perhaps to use it last week, somewhere... but ended up not doing so in the end.
