TRIAL I

Trial

Today is going to be a loooong day. You knew that pretty shortly after waking up, didn't you? On the plus side, it means you've had some time to process the death of one of your own, or leisure time at the very least. But come midnight, the clocks in the castle all strike out in unison again. This time though, you barely have time to clutch your head before you're transported elsewhere.

Yes, you're coming in your pajamas if you were already in bed.

The place where you find yourself is obviously not the castle, that much is obvious from an immediate look alone. The look is very circus fair meets hell, minus any actual fire (for now). The walls, the lighting, the atmosphere is different, reds and purples and exposed rock face all together with furniture that should belong in a courtroom, and a carnival, not a caldera. It's a stylistic choice, for sure.

Seating consists of various stools on the outer ring, the layout suggesting that the preferred way to conduct trial is to free mingle towards the center, unless you're partaking in food and refreshments. A veritable bounty of a spread is available for you to partake as you like. There's even an entire table's worth of chocolate, cut out in various animal shapes for you to enjoy. And yes, alcohol too, because a banquet without the finest wines isn't a feast at all.

Even with all the food there's plenty of space for all of you, but do be careful around the pit in the center of this room. How deep does it go? Where does it lead? There are other unanswered questions to answer, and you've been tasked with finding out who murdered Tia. The Witch of Ruin demands a show and unfortunately you are his captive actors. He presides over all of this from a balcony above, the best seat in the house.


(( OOC: Welcome to your first trial! You'll have 7 hours (until 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT) to vote one (1) person guilty of murder. As this is scapegoat style, a correct vote is not necessary. Please remember to vote unless otherwise discussed with the mods, as that is our AC for this game ))

We do have some people who are pretty short-tempered. But I don't know if it's to the point of murder?

In this context? Someone whose love life is a fucking mess because he just can't help himself, I'm guessing.

Uh. Someone sex-crazed.

[He's got this, he totally knows this one--]

It's a farming tool. Although I don't understand why she's using it to refer to a person...

[Something to ponder, truly.]

[Do you just hate women? Is that it?

Yes we will be sustaining this misconception for as long as possible.

I couldn't say. Magic and all of those things doesn't mean anything to me. [Normie alert...]

Hmm. 'Tis possible that Ish's enchantment did not affect everyone as intended.

[Food for thought.]

I think she would have. So whoever attacked her had to know how to fight as well as she did.

Probably no higher than a normal frog, I imagine.

A dragon?!

[ Whoops, now he's beaming excitedly at G'raha. ]

You're sure of it?

[Ugh, this guy!!]

Of course he would find amusement in our ire.

I can't imagine it was that. Unless the next dragon happens to be next.

( joke? )

[ ... is he? ]

I think I feel the same level of stress as before...

[ which was already high, so. ]

I don't know if I'm really suspicious of anyone. But I guess... I guess I am disappointed.

It wasn't? My bad. [ this "my bad" sounds super sincere. ] You got any?

thesharpestroy: (25)

[personal profile] thesharpestroy 2025-03-15 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not wrong but you're not right either.

Honestly? Progressive to call out a guy for being a ho. They've been getting away with it too fucking long.

Yeah, it's okay. I wouldn't worry about it, then. Could just be a coincidence.

[ oh ]

Yes. He doesn't like he's very nice to Yoonhee, which I think is a shame, because Yoonhee's very nice.
