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 ))

ARMOR CHECK

[divineth]

[All right, they really need to narrow things down.]

Let us further examine the armor in relation to ourselves. I would like for everyone to try on the gauntlets and sollerets to see who is able to fit into them.

[He will also compare them to Tiamat to see if she could have been the one wearing them.]

I would also see how comfortably the cuirass fiteth, as we have further questions as to why it was left aside.

[antline]

[He is here. Armonize him, captain.]

[baebladie]

[ Time to get this over with.

It's a matter of putting on more clothes so he will do that, and then after he is done, take it off. ]

[diel]

[ just for you, cousin urianger...

he tries both! definitely hard to move around in, and he's real awkward about it. but do they fit? looks at mods ]

[stygiomedusa]

[Hamel is here! She'll try on all of the armor pieces without complaint, because she knows the value of cooperation, or whatever.]

[perfectpower]

[He is here for this check!]

[divineth]

[Naturally, Urianger will also participate in trying everything.]

[cleansheets]

[ Trying on the gauntlets and sollorets doesn't require him to take off more than his boots and he still has pants and socks, so... yeah okay. That's fine.

It's not fine enough that he's not still making a face, but he's doing it.

And then after a long moment of looking utterly disgusted, he'll try and put on the dumb cuirass over his clothes as well.

He feels like an idiot, thanks. ]

... stupid.

[the_obedient_servant]

[Here they are, compliant with this check at least.]

[distain]

[She's wearing a whole ass dress and slip and all but yeah have at.]

[dumbface]

[ you guys want him to put on clothes, that's easy. putting on the stuff as asked! ]

[remainsilent]

[ Here he is ]

[fourtuity]

Yeah, sure, Shakespeare.

[ complying! ]

[snakeblood]

[ He's barely compliant because ew, everyone's trying on the same thing? But fine. Let's get this over with. ]

[uiscebeatha]

[ man_standing, still shirtless. ]

[spotsalone]

[ Perfect baby angel Mr. Hickey is here to comply!!! ]

[coldseep]

( up to mods whether anything fits him, but he's cooperative )

[allrounder]

Of course, my friend.

[ He trusteth you, bestie. ]

[antemeridian]

[ Sure, she will show up for armor check.

... we have made sure that the pieces don't still have any fragments of glass dust to scrape people with inside them, right. ]

[ocenon]

[ 🧍‍♂️ ]

Can we not compare the sizes to what I currently have...

[ Like, he'll do it but it's kind of a pain having to put this on and off at this point. ]

[oncefallen]

[He is here to try it on! He'll probably struggle with the weight though because LOL man is underweight...]

[siffriend]

[ .............................

Is... Is this one necessary? Please? Look at them? They're small. Of all checks, this is the one that Siffrin and Chara should be exempt from. Like they'll comply, but really. They're both fun-sized. ]

[arbalestrier]

[Oh okay, this is what's happening... He has no issue with putting these items on, so the musket pokes out the top of the cuirass--

No, I jest. He'll put it on over his school uniform after he leans the musket against a table or something.]

[smdr]

[ putting stuff on, putting stuff off... this is an adventure. ]

Sure, let's try it out and see how the stuff fiteth.

[ she'll put it on... does she want to? not really, but whatever. ]

RESULTS

[lesmodsalouette]

[ out of those who complied, the armor fits:

Angelo, Dan Heng, and Yoru comfortably. The armor is a snug fit on Bradley, Chu Wenshan, Vanis, and Sabo. ]
