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 ))

( Starts peeling off his clothes, )

Do you want everything off?

( He was basically wearing a long slip and a robe for bed time, so he's slipping the robe off and the slip is coming up hot,

But he's staring intently at everyone hesitating to undress. )

[ The wizards took off their shirts, so...maybe there's just something in the water in their world?

Cain isn't thinking about that, though. Looks in Hywlryn's general direction. ]

Probably not everything. But whatever you're comfortable with.

( He's always naked as a dragon so it's nbd...

He notices again Cain's somewhat vague gaze, but doesn't think much of it yet.

He'll drop the robe and let the slip... fall... so he's just there in, and I say this for everyone's sake more than because Hwy would wear anything, underpants, so, anyway

Anyway, he doesn't have a mark on him. No one is cooperating to the extent that he'd like so he will :/ smh )

There.
