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.

Do you want me to start off with a loud declaration of love for everyone who didn't get to hear it the first time? I can do that instead.

[asswipe]

Hey. No offense, but can you both go back to where you came from?

[STOP THIS PDA!!!]

[thesettingsun]

Actually, we literally cannot? The magic Dragon used to bring us here was kind of all that was keeping the Other Side intact, so...

[asswipe]

Oh, what the fuck?

[thesettingsun]

It doesn't exist anymore. If we aren't getting brought back here then there's a good chance of us ceasing to exist.

Oh - that note you found on Rebecca, the longer one, that was from our angel daughter. It came with the truth potion.

[asswipe]

... Truth potion. You guys had a truth potion this whole fucking time?!

[fonlines]

...what? So there's nowhere to send you back to if this...

[ goes to hell in a handbasket? ]

[thesettingsun]

Unfortunately.

[fonlines]

[ UNFORTUNATELY INDEED huffs ]

[disclosures]

[Rebecca looks so exhausted.]

No, the Other Side collapsed. We're stuck.

[asswipe]

[...]

Wait, what?

[disclosures]

We're stuck here.

There's no Other Side anymore. So we have to get this done or I guess we're all dead for real?

[selfinserting]

...Hello to you, too.

[Veronica!!]

[asswipe]

[...]

Heeeeyyyyy, Evan. How's it going? You're looking, um— [NOT EXTRA CRISPY.] You're looking good. Hi.

[selfinserting]

[A pause.]

What's wrong? [...] Other than, um, everything.

[alchemenace]

I wish.

[ it's been a long fucking week

[fonlines]

whomst ]

[alchemenace]

[asswipe]

ON THOSE BRUISES

and squints!!]

I see Dazai didn't get the message.

[SHE'S GOING TO KICK SOME ASS]

[thesettingsun]

I left him alone after the first day! I'm doing better!

[dazai you literally stepped on akechi's head like, yesterday]

[alchemenace]

I technically didn't receive the letter until after he'd done it, but. Yeah.

[londonstar]

Shut up before I make you.

[thesettingsun]

I honestly can't tell if you're more angry about the PDA or about me talking about how you're a good person.
