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 ))

Were the mirrors intact when thou fell asleep?

Then how would shards of glass make their way onto the soles of thy footwear?

[Unless Chu Wenshan walked through the glass after waking up, which...is possible, in theory.]

I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, and I was hungry, so... I'm not surprised there are some.

Sorry, but can you take off the harness and show it to us.

[ someone help... he's not good at this... he lost to fake witch!! ]

And explain why you smell like roses though your clothes are wrinkled.

[ thinking about this for a bit. ]

That's the only soap I've been able to find here, so that's the soap I've been using.

I remember your confession... The details were... [ y'know, not there. ] You kept saying you might have, but you weren't sure. Do you... forget things?

I have amnesia, but most of the things past the Lone Swordsman bit happened after my amnesia. [ so, probably?? or bad at communication, you be the judge. ]
