TRIAL IV

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 ))

[ That's... It does take a lot to horrify Angelo, but that's horrifying. He's no stranger to being beaten and bruised, chewed up and devoured... But that is the kind of anguish his Captain had taken him from. That is the kind of filth Full Frontal washed off of him.

To willingly... No. That's not love. That's not... Angelo would hurt himself a thousand times over for his Captain, but Captain would never demand it. It would be given freely, not... this. ]

And Balthazar....?

( He has to think on this one, which probably isn't heartening.

As he thinks, though, god he's so teary I'm losing track of his tears, he definitely teared up a Lot when talking about Gwawlyn, and he's tearing up again recalling Balthazar, though he seems to be trying to remain composed during trial. The grief is Extremely fresh - for Gwawlyn, despite his passing thousands of years ago, and Balthazar, who may as well have died moments ago for Hwylryn, and whose passing he re-experiences every Monday. )

... He tried. But he's weaker than me - I don't say this to boast or anything, though.

( lighting a candle for balthazar in the afterlife, he'd be so mad to hear hwylryn say this even though he knows it's true. northerners... )

So anything he managed to do was next to nothing in comparison.

But... if he could have managed it, I would have understood what he meant by it.

( Love! )

And you... wanted it from him.

[ OKAY OKAY COOL COOL COOL. Just. Wrapping his head around this.

Weeks now they have spoken to each other as though they are similar, as though their grief is of the same kind, and this... He won't tell Hwylryn how to love, but he's a little freaked out by it. ]

( hmmm... )

... I didn't want him to hurt me, just to be hurt. But if that's what came of it, and I still understood he cared for me... I wouldn't have minded.

( If they played roughly, he wouldn't have minded at all. )

All that matters to me is that there's love.
