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!

[ well.

... well.

If Eichi is going to give her his jacket like a true gentlman and make her blush like not a gentleman, then Monika is going to make up her fucking mind, put her arms through the sleeves of the jacket so it doesn't fall off her,

and actually leap down onto the topiary. if he can do it she can!!!!

anyway cool let's tear apart topiary animals with our bare hands one of these things will have the chest ]

[Ion joins them with about the same level of enthusiasm as Rebecca. RIP these healers. But he’ll stay just ahead of her, covering his face when any of the animals get too close. He...is trying his best—so somebody can find the chest!]

[finethanks]

[Ahh, a partner!! Thankfully, since Eichi is no fighter. He moves like a dancer, even when fighting, movement fluid and following the animals like he's used to that much, at least. But he still gets hurt, scratched, punched, overwhelmed until Monika helps him, and then he's helping her...

And finally, they're done, and Eichi has to drop to a knee to breathe, but there's a chest.]

[disclosures]

[Once it's over, she's hurrying over and singing to him and Monika. It's still off key, but hey-- it still works.

Though everybody who hears it and heals up from it will forget that she was the one who healed them.]

[ Man, Monika can't fight either. All she has is her natural athleticism, and while she's graceful, she's no dancer like Eichi. She too gets pretty beat up in exchange for transferring at least some of her slime to all of these angry bushes.

And with Rebecca's help, they've finally got the chest secured! ]
