TRIAL I

[lesmodsalouette]

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 ))

I wonder....why her? Out of everyone here?

[siffriend]

Um... Maybe it was just a wrong place, wrong time kind of thing. I don't think any of us have really rubbed each other a bad way. Probably.

[ ignore yoru calling someone disgusting down there ]

[ they're all looking at dan heng and blade now apparently. ]

[remainsilent]

[ ...fine he sees ]

They mean those of us who met here. Blade and I have known each other for a long time.

[the_obedient_servant]

And neither of you have killed one another yet. Your restraint is remarkable!

[remainsilent]

[ looking at Blade and not answering this. ]

[baebladie]

[ Looks back and he passes him a little...patented Blade look, let us say. But he doesn't see reason to comment. ]

[remainsilent]

[ Right. Patented Blade look could mean so many things.

No answer for Chara then ]

[the_obedient_servant]

[That's fine. It wasn't a question.]

[remainsilent]

[ cease ]

Cheating at Never Have I Ever is an unforgivable crime, you see.
