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!

[alright, fine, he can use his ninja bullshit for good instead of for being a dramatic asshole (and also playing lookout.) shirasu scales a nearby wall and pauses on top of it, scanning the area--

then gestures for them to follow. he'll stay up here to point the way ahead, in case it changes.]

It's this way-- we seem to be in the center, so it shouldn't take too long.

Alright.

[ into the maze! following shirasu's instructions! ]

[sanguinairy]

Thank you.

[THROUGH THE MAZE THEY GOOO... Hopefully Shirasu won't guide them into any ninja traps. Otherwise, lo, a chest by the city gates up ahead!]

[wagashis]

[listen. he's an asshole but he too wants out of here.

so he'll guide them safely to where they need to be, and there sure is a chest up there! which they have the keys for!]

This must be what we were here for, then.

[wearys]

[ hey, sweet. hurrah. free them. ]

I guess so? Must be what the keys are for.

[ loot the chest. ]

[sanguinairy]

[OVER THEY GO.]

Well... Let's see what's in here, then.

[LOOT THE CHEST.]
