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!

[concasse]

[Aaaand three seconds later.

Sanji's ghost spirit literally just steps up out of his body, looking done with this shit.]

... Hn.

[axilium]

... Well, this is about what was expected, but it's still funny.

[hi.]

[concasse]

So much for my shitty nap, I guess.

[HI]

[toughchoices]

[sanji voice: boo]

...well, if it's any consolation - we seem to be nearing an ending, so though you can't rest now, you may be able to rest soon.

[concasse]

It's best I don't slack off anyway.

[...]

Hi, Reyna-chan.

[sanguinairy]

...Welcome back.

[HE'S. HE'S SO SORRY. NO REST FOR SANJI.]

[concasse]

[SOUJI GETS A SMILE TBH.

He did his duty]

Thanks.

I appreciate it.

[Killing him, he means]

[alchemenace]

[concasse]

[ajldfasf Sanji is hugging him right back before Varian pulls away]

Hey, Varian.

See? We made it work.

[okitactless]

Sanji-kun.

[There's at least one person who's happy to see him?? He's not going to ask if Sanji's alright, but. He does at least offer a reassuring smile. THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST HERE.]

[concasse]

[THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST.]

Yasusada.

I'd say you're looking well but I guess we're still dead for a shitty while.

[AH WELL.]

[fragileprophet]

Not how you were hoping this would go?

[hi]

[concasse]

Was looking for something a little less... whatever the fuck this turned out to be.

[HONESTLY THIS IS SO ONE PIECE, he can't complain]

[concasse]

[-- Anyway Ion better get over here.

Sanji is gonna sweep him into a hug]

[disclosures]

[Ghosts can definitely touch other ghosts-- So Rebecca just decks him in the chest before pulling him into a hug.]

[concasse]

[lajdfadsfh it's a good thing she hugs him quick after that punch before Sanji just walks off sadly.]

... I'm sorry.

[psychedelica]

This feels anticlimactic.

[ get back in there, spooky sanji. ]

[concasse]

Don't it?

No one's more disappointed than me.

[discardia]

I'm not very happy with you right now.

But hello.

[concasse]

... Y'know? That's fair.

Sorry for all the times I wasn't, uh... open.

[asswipe]

burst into a fit of giggles when sanji's ghost literally pops out of his body, before getting herself under control.]

I'm so— I'm so sorry. [HAHAHDSD] Oh my god. Are you feeling okay?

[concasse]

[FFFF honestly he's glad someone is laughing at this mess, it means he can't stay asschaffed for long]

Oi, you're fine, Veronica-chan~!

And yeah, I didn't feel a thing... don't feel much right now, either.

[Prodding himself]

Being a ghost is weird as shit...

[concasse]

Thanks.

[HUFFING A LAUGH NOW]

Well, so much for all of that shit.

Time to keep focused, I guess.
