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.

Veronica, Dazai, Evan, Souji
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.]
...No way to go but - out, I suppose?
no subject
Is this a bad time to mention I didn't do so well in gym class?
[SHE DOESN'T KNOW PARKOUR.]
no subject
We'll, we'll figure it out when we get there. I'll show you how to climb if you need me to, Veronica.
[Even if he's not a huge fan of heights for reasons several of them can probably guess.]
no subject
A tall tower might not be that tall... And if worst comes to worst, I could probably toss you over a gap if you couldn't jump across. But, ah, I don't think I want to resort to that.
[She might actually for real stab him.]
no subject
Well... Some of these jumps look easy enough to make. Shall we?
[YEET WAITS FOR NO ONE he's just fucking backing up and taking a running leap to jump to the next roof over with like zero warning.]
no subject
... You guys. [YOU GUYS.] I'm going to pretend that—
[—nothing, apparently. She doesn't get to finish that sentence before Souji is becoming Okyeeta.]
Oh, what the fuck?!
[Honestly, someone should just yeet her so they can get started.]
no subject
...We should follow him.
[But he needs someone to prompt him, probably. Heights!!]
no subject
[He's not worried about Evan stabbing him!]
no subject
Do you think this tower is tall enough to count, if we scale it? [...
Wait where is everyone.]
no subject
she's just going to. close her eyes.]
We don't have time for this.
[AND YEET HERSELF. CATCH UP, LOSERS.]
no subject
...Yes, please.
no subject
[Dazai picks Evan up carefully before tossing him across - he'll land safely on the other side, not even near the edge.
Then he yeets himself over to follow.]
Sorry we're late, Souji!
no subject
What do you think of scaling this one here?
no subject
[Well. They could fall and die again, but that's fine.]
no subject
...Yeah. Yeah, that, that looks great. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
no subject
[And then probably Dazai will also fall, but they can at least use him as a cushion for their landing.]
no subject
[HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE REST OF THEM but he's also just here to go turbo. So he'll start to scale the ladder. Is there a ladder? A flimsy fire escape at least?? HOPEFULLY.]
no subject
[Too bad the dead didn't keep their gifts because wind manipulation sounds so useful right now. Either way, she's moving after Souji. Were they meant to do these in a specific order? Whoops.]
no subject
[He’s moving after the two of them as well, taking a breath before he starts climbing the ladder that probably exists.]
no subject
Hope no one's wearing a skirt.]
no subject
With the sound of geese coming from somewhere nearby, probably.]
no subject
BUT UP AND UP THEY GO... Presumably to the top where they'll have a nice view of where they can go from here. Also, geese.]
... They're seriously taking something from everyone's title, huh?
no subject
How do we, um, want to do this?
no subject
...If Evan could do his wind thing he could just herd them up that way, it'd take like two minutes.
no subject
[Sorry he brought the geese to this adventure, friends. But he'll look back toward Evan at that! There's a coop on the other side of the roof and ALL THESE GEESE.]
Well, we only need to get six, right? We could also catch a few, too.
