CHAPTER SEVEN ; TRIAL
CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 7 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. If you have any questions, please ask on our Discord server or ping us on plurk. Please direct pings for the NPC to Dana (

This is fine, she supposes.]
Does anybody see a pretty fish around here? Or are we going to have to go out into the ocean?

Oh. Well, he doesn't have a fear of heights but also? Why. He glances skyward for a second, toward the stars, and then the surrounding towers, and finally to his groupmates.]

shirasu pauses after they've entered the door, peering up at the city gates; they know what they have to do, but he has no idea how to do one of those things, so.
luckily the other two are totally in his wheelhouse.]
...not quite what I expected, but I think we can work with this. Shall we?
((adventure text for reference!))

Anyway this sure is a farm... It reminds him of home a little though, so he's actually quite pleased to get something so manageable!]
...Well. What shall we start with? Filling the trough will probably take the most time.

Hmm... but if we wait too long to rescue the duckling, we risk being too late, don't we?

What's a pirate?

-- What do you mean, "what's a pirate"? It's... a thief. On a boat. That steals from other boats.

The scenery is less than threatening, which is nice. As the knowledge of what they need to do fills his mind, he scoffs. ]
Our titles, huh... [ he shakes his head, then looks towards the two of them. ] It seems like trial and error is the only option. Let's go.

Varian, Hiro, Yona
upon stepping into the warehouse, varian has a lot of regrets. most of them have to do with elderly ladies. either way, before anything else, he's exploring the warehouse a bit ]
So-- so maybe this won't be so bad?
[ no one believes this. ]
no subject
[hm. yeah. she doesn't believe this at all.]
It might not be. I mean - at least we aren't out in the storm?

if 2b had hair on the back of her neck, it would be standing right about now. the stench of death is strong as she tries to take in their surroundings... and get a sense of where their stalker is at the moment. ]
Great. More corpses.

Eichi, Rebecca, Monika, Ion-kun
[Stepping out into the middle of a swamp is a little less than pleasant. He's already not in the best health, and the knowledge of these tasks is a little daunting.]
I don't suppose anyone has something that I can use to cut down trees, do they? If all else fails, I should be able to pull them out. But even if I'm quite strong, I still grow exhausted.
By the way, I can't really swim, so is there someone who can?

[ anyway, as soon as they step through the door, Ion stiffens briefly, then... relaxes?
joke's on you crypt, he doesn't have loved ones! and the few he does have are either like, dead here and ghosts, or he's pretty convinced are fine anyway. silly visions of back home.
still, he does glance around at their surroundings rather unsurely... ]
... How do you suppose we are to find someone who is still living?
