TRIAL IV

[lesmodsalouette]

Trial

Another Saturday, but this Saturday is your last Saturday. If everything holds, if everything works out. After all you've been through, are you capable of being an optimist? The carnival calls regardless, furniture arranged around as they always are with banquet table and pit in the middle.

This week's new offerings are: a fluffy loaf of a certain type of rye bread, a hearty beef stew and an assortment of fresh pies with candied fruit and cream.

For the last time, find out who killed two of your own: G'raha Tia and Sariel.

(( 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 ))

ISH

[calamitish]

[ here he is, in his standard purple regalia. pester him with questions, you know the drill! ]

[fourtuity]

[ As usual now, her voice is cold and flat. ]

Are we looking at two or more culprits for G'raha and Sariel?

[calamitish]

[ oh clover. ish is smiling pleasantly. ]

There's one killer today.

[fourtuity]

[ Her grip tightens around her newly obtained axe, but she doesn't move to swing. ]

Hmph. I'll never forget your part in all of this.

[ Instead, she turns just enough to walk back to the others. ]

[whileaway]

[Hello Witch]

You say we are looking for one killer-- was it one killer that killed both of the two deceased, or did one kill the other first and then a third person killed the second person?

[Do we need to look for the winner of a three-way fight, or is this more of a potential revenge thing....]

[safetycheck]

[ Hewwo Ish. Don't mind the eyepatch she's wearing and crossbow she's just casually carrying with her.... ]

Do the requirements for wish fulfillment this time around involve getting away with murder? Or is carrying out the act enough?

[calamitish]

[ lili is now a pirate.... ]

The wish fulfillment's the same as it's always been: the wish will be granted at the end of the relevant carnival if applicable. So if your wish is to become twelve feet tall, that will take place immediately if that's what's desired. On the other hand if your wish is to become a prince at home, that's one that can't be granted immediately. In those cases, I offer a tarot card with that potential to use in the future.

[simulacres]

Ish, what's been happening to Sabo's hat?

[ she's going to hold it up. it looks like it's been through the wringer, with the cloth tattered and now moist apparently. ]

[calamitish]

[ his tone drops to one that's serious. ]

They're taking care of their end, resolving the tears of time in the garden.

[coldseep]

( bloodied up since he'd been lying down with the corpses for a bit, but he's been coaxed off so uhhh from wherever he's depressionrotting rn: )

... Where does the pit in the centre of the room go?

[calamitish]

[ hwy, you really are a mess aren't you. ish takes in his state, and let's out a small sigh. ]

That's a secret. [ a beat. ]

Until this carnival is over.

[safetycheck]

Weird question, Ish.

[ uhhhhh ]

Is there...any way that we can get a closer look at people's...hair. You know, since there were strands of it scattered all over the place...

[calamitish]

[ he laughs. ]

You want some scissors or something? Sure, I can give you those. But you could also just look at their hair with your eyes, can't you?

[ though he's not opposed, just amused. she can have scissors if she likes! and this will be a mod-run check, so just have everyone file in if they consent and we can give results. ]

sorry im back

[safetycheck]

[ Hi.

Can she hold up the coat to try and see if it'd fit Ish. ]

[calamitish]

Just what do you think you're doing? [ he'll allow it though, but he's laughing as she does.

it could fit him, yes! ]

[perfectpower]

[Coming on over here, hi.]

Just to clear something up: you didn't do the killing or anything here, right?

[calamitish]

[ tilting his head. ]

Correct.

[arbalestrier]

Ish. Why are you still granting wishes?

[calamitish]

Because I offered them to you weeks ago. I'm not able to rescind that offer.

Though this will be the last carnival, since the spell to wake Norna will be complete tonight.

[safetycheck]

Hey. Since the culprit is getting their wish regardless, do you still plan on holding an execution for the person with the most votes?

[calamitish]

Hello, hello. I was wondering when someone would ask.

I'm not going to call an execution for who you vote for. I'll get what I want after this, and following that I should be able to help Manba assist the dead in returning.

That includes G'raha and Sariel.

cw: self-harm discussion

[coldseep]

( at blade's request, he is returned... at least he's back on his feet... sorta... )

... Hello again. Blade wanted to see the thing I used to hurt myself. I don't remember where I left it, but... you can probably bring it here, right?

Re: cw: self-harm discussion

[calamitish]

[ he smiles just a little (i don't have any icon for how small his smile is). ]

Sure, I can do that. [ have ye blade... for blade! ]

[perfectpower]

[...]

What's gonna happen if Norna is awakened?

[calamitish]

You'd have to ask her not me. But if you're wondering if she would harm you, she won't. She loves humans and would never hurt another living being.

...unlike me.
