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 ))

[He finally takes the head part off.]

I said, "strip".

[safetycheck]

A-already?!?!?!

[arbalestrier]

Cain mentioned that Sariel appeared to have fought back.

[The scrapes on the knuckle and whatnot.]

I recognize that there may be a few sprays left unaccounted for, but I believe this is a reasonable line of inquiry.

[simulacres]

And how did you expect us to understand you?!

[arbalestrier]

You have a point.

[...]

Ish. Are you able to translate if needed?

[ocenon]

Are you planning on putting the head back on...?

[ why. ]

[arbalestrier]

If it comes to a shootout, then yes.

[That totally explains everything right.]

1/2

[ocenon]

[ocenon]

Oh, so it provides you with defense capabilities? Fascinating! The voice changing is a weird aspect, I must admit, but I suppose everything has its own tradeoff, doesn't it?

[ maybe bonta has rights after all? ]

[simulacres]

Can't you just... keep the head part removed? I don't think you need it.

[arbalestrier]

That's not true. It's bulletproof and has a variety of sensors built in.

[A beat.]

But if you insist, I can keep it off.

[simulacres]

That's... handy.

[ uh, ]

I mean, maybe you can put it on if you see a fight about to break? It would certainly be helpful.

[calamitish]

Sure!

[ this is worth it for the image alone. ]

[arbalestrier]

Understood. I'll keep that in mind.

[But since most people seem to want him to keep the head off, he'll do that...]

[remainsilent]

No.

[arbalestrier]

[???]

He said he could.

[fourtuity]

[ Her grip tightens around the axe in her hands yet again. Praise her, she's trying so hard. ]

...I get it. I don't think that's a bad idea at all. But can you indulge in your kink after everyone's had a chance to talk about the evidence first? We don't want anyone trying to use the check to avoid giving info on what they found.

[arbalestrier]

Kink? I don't understand what you mean.

[He takes a moment to think...]

But you have a point. I'll concede on this.

[fourtuity]

It's...just slang.

[ ONCE AGAIN, NOT GIVING SEX ED TO CHERRY BOYS ]

Anyway, yeah, we can circle back to this after.

[arbalestrier]

[There's so much ??? about what a kink is, but he's not going to press since it doesn't seem relevant. Maybe after the trial, then?]

Very well.

[cleansheets]

No.

[ Yes, he's currently Suspect Number One due to a variety of circumstances. No, he's not budging on this one. ]

[arbalestrier]

[He figured, but...]

Even it might exonerate you?

[He doesn't say it contentiously, it's more like a confirmation.]

[cleansheets]

Even then.

[ He sounds dead serious. Whatever happens to him, this is a point of pride that he won't compromise on for anything. ]

[coldseep]

( hwyl is misery.mp3 wherever he's lying down but he respects this so much )

[arbalestrier]

I see. We'll try other avenues first.

[Since everyone here seems to be for discussing everything in more detail first.]
