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!

[Howdy partner. Souji's expression softens after the announcement is over though, and he's smiling again.]

There were no objections.

[SO YEP, SURE SEEMS SO.]

[fonlines]

Well, you know my feelings on it.

[ not a goodbye, but a- ]

After all, I still have to ask you about a... Kondou-san, was it?

[sanguinairy]

[He SURE DOES... Which is why he'll just pass right on to the second part. His expression brightens a little just at the mention of that name, so clearly this is someone Souji is fond of.]

Mm? What about Kondou-san?

[fonlines]

I don't know. I was simply told to ask you to tell me about him. So perhaps- you can decide on a choice of topic.

As far as I'm aware, he was your commander, yes?

[ which probably explains why the puppy sword had been so insistent on calling Hijikata vice-commander at w3 trial but ]

[sanguinairy]

[That sure is why puppy sword was so insistent...]

He is. [A little nod! HE LOVES KONDOU-SAN!! He'll gladly talk about him all day honestly, and without the bullying Hijikata gets, even!] He's a really amazing man, you know? He can rally troops like no one else I've ever met, and he has a strong sense of justice and honor. Even if he wasn't born into it, his soul is exactly what the stories talk about when they mention the mettle of samurai.
