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.

... Good to know.

[ HMM I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS

also that doesn't mean varian's off the hook ]

And what of you, then?

Dazai has his own ideas of what greetings are acceptable.

[ when you were just cannibalized is what varian doesn't say out loud ]

Goodness, it really is a good thing that none of us can touch each other right now, isn't it?

and squints!!]

I see Dazai didn't get the message.

[SHE'S GOING TO KICK SOME ASS]

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

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

[ WHIRLS AROUND TO FACE HIM. ]

You piece of shit!

That's fair.

[He's not even gonna argue that.]

I don't care? Fuck you?

I understand.

[well no, he really doesn't understand, but he gets that she's upset and they haven't really done anything to deserve being upset by him

so he's at least sort of kind of contrite?]
