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.

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.

Unless there's something big we're missing... yeah. We're on the home stretch now. This should all be over soon.

... I still think it should be, say, me instead of Souji. Not that I think anyone will listen to me, I'm just saying. I'm used to dying?

[MAGNUS DO NOT.]

Allow me this. Please.

[ magnus opens his mouth to argue.

then closes it.

and after a moment, ]

... Cardia wanted me to tell you she's sorry.

[UGHHHH MAGNUSSSSS

Honestly though, he had a feeling this was on the way, or at least something like it. People don't yeet themselves into the arms of death for no reason.]

...Thank you. I'm only sorry that I wasn't able to help the two of you more.

[Like y'all should have TOLD HIM IT WAS SHIRASU.]

But I'll still ask the same, even now.

[ and he thought he was? so? subtle ]

Well, it would have gone better if Shirasu hadn't...

[ shirasu'd. ]

... All right.

[TRULY SUBTLE.

Souji also looks a little Distressed about that, since he'd pieced together what had probably happened the night before. Shirasu... why.]

...You did what you could.

[And that's all they can really do, right? So.]

Thank you.

[oh.]

... For the record, you really should not have told Shirasu beforehand.

[honestly, no hard feelings over picking his former partner, but SHIRASU WAS A VERY BAD PICK.]

Yeah, well, we figured that out. He seemed understanding about it? Until, uh, he wasn't.

He was, uh, a good liar. Would've warned you if I'd known you were the Blotters, but too late for that.

[ we all must have a problematic fave or three. ]

[why the fuck did you kiss shirasu, steph]

And I could say the same for all the villains who died before me. [WELL.] Souji and Sanji know what they're doing. And— It has to be Sanji who dies. If we try to vote for him later or anything like that, it won't work.

Yeah. Unless the voting process magically knows we're not voting him specifically because he's an Editor, then as an Editor, he gets one get-out-of-jail-free card.

And before any smartass who knows who our other Editor was says anything, it's because he killed this week acting as an Editor.

[Just. A plaintive stare.]

You're right, no one will listen to you.

No one ever does, so what else is new.

[ :( ]

[Just. Gently patting Magnus on the head. There, there.]

But seriously, no.

[ pouts further excuse him who here is the younger demigod? ]

[...technically still Magnus. Technically.]

I understand why but they seem to have worked it out. So..we have to let them.

[ sdjvbjasd technically

weary sigh. ]

Yeah, I guess so. Still not thrilled with it?

... You being used to dying isn't gonna make anyone miss you less if you die...

[YEAH SANJI KNOWS HE'D JUST COME BACK BUT--]

If this is about us doing shit behind your back, I get it. But just let Souji and me handle it from here.

[ nose wrinkle. ]

No, I'm not that petty. But... [ considering his talk with souji up above, ] Fine. I'm not happy about it, but not like I have a choice?

Yeah I think Nico might tackle you if you try shit.

He can try?

[ magnus is bigger, like barely. ]
