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 ))

[While the rest of the evidence is filtering in, a familiar (at least to most of you) mascot that has appeared in the carnival. After slamming a paw on a table for attention, he proceeds to declare in a loud, high-pitched voice:]

Fumo! Fumoffu fumoffu, moffu fumo fumoffu!

FUMOFFU!! (STRIP AND CLOTHING CHECK!)

Alright, please take off your clothes so we can check for injuries.

[ she cannot believe that she's actually saying this in a neutral tone. ]

If you're uncomfortable, go talk to Ish about accommodations, I don't care. Lili will also be checking the clothing.

[ this is a double check! players can respond to the strip check normally and then mods will answer for the results of the clothing check. ]

hair check

[personal profile] safetycheck 2025-04-05 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone, please excuse me. I need to get a closer look at your...hair. I won't touch you unless it's absolutely necessary.

[ For reasons that people probably know by now.

(All you need to do OOCly is comment here and mods will respond with the results.)

Alright, we're running out of time, so let's compile what we have.

[ this is ayaka's attempt at sounding authoritative. ]

We know that Sariel and G'raha were killed by one culprit. From the checks that we have done, we found out that the coat could fit Sousuke, Break, Angelo, Hwylryn, Dan Heng, Richard, Cain, Bradley, and Vanis. On top of that, when we checked the hair, we saw that it could possibly match Bradley, Vanis, Angelo and Break for the white hair, while the black hair could match Bradley, Vanis, and Dan Heng. And, we have the topic of Angelo's gun, which according to him, was taken while he slept. Three shots were fired from it.

[ she waits a couple seconds for that info to be absorbed, and then adds: ]

My personal theory is that we are looking for someone that was in the tea room. This would give them access to the hair and the gun both, plus give them an idea of what size of coat to use. Someone who has a decent idea on how to set traps, too.

[ ... ]

Also, according to Ish, this person's wishes apparently wouldn't hinder his plans nor would it prevent us from getting home. Whoever it is, you've already gotten it, whether or not you're caught. This part might not be important right now, but I just want to make sure everyone knows that, too.

[ and with that, she'll shuffle back to richard's side. ]

clothing check....2

[personal profile] baebladie 2025-04-05 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
A button was missing.

People could have changed clothing, but let's see if that was true here.

[ Blade will be doing a different kind of clothing check - no size comparisons, but he's looking for clothing damage, missing buttons, whathaveyou. ]

Life up your shoes. There were many sharp objects.

[ He's looking for damaged shoes from people too. ]

now hold on...

[ After a moment of thought, and after hearing Ish's revelation, a bud of resolve plants itself in Cain's chest. He lifts his head and steps forward. Though he can't see half of the people here, his gaze still sweeps the crowd.

He speaks loud over everyone else. ]


The trial is going to proceed as normal, but there isn't going to be an execution tomorrow. The wishes have been granted. Our votes here are, in practice, meaningless. Lives have been taken, but we don't have to risk losing another innocent. Which means...

Culprit, if you could please come forward.

[ Cain draws the sword from his sheath and holds it to the side, tip of the blade pointed downward. ]

I understand people will be angry with you, and may want to retaliate against you—violently. But you have my blade as protection if you wish to say your piece.

[ His tension eases, and an earnest plead colors his expression. ]

Please. Offering closure and peace of mind to the friends and loved ones of the lives you've stolen is the least you can do for the rest of us.

A Proposal

[personal profile] safetycheck 2025-04-05 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well. Looks like no one's coming forth. Lili is forever going to think this is pathetic and cowardly of them but whatever. If no one has to die, if nothing will happen because of their votes?

She looks at Richard's hand on his sword, and the arguments breaking out. God, she's so tired. This is getting to be too much for her. She's going to be upset that she couldn't figure out who did this, but G'raha would not want them to be stuck on this forever.

They have to move forward, and someone has to step up.
]

Everyone, listen up! I have confirmed with Ish that voting is mandatory to end the carnival, and as we've all heard, there is no execution tomorrow. Nothing will happen directly because of the voting system, but given what happened to Sousuke, Chara and I on Wednesday, it's possible we may have more immediately pressing things to worry about.

Now. I did not kill Sariel or G'raha, nor did I have anything to do with their deaths – if, for some ungodly reason, I have been under suspicion. However, if we need someone to vote for...

Cast your votes for me. I will not take it personally. If it is personal for some reason, frankly, I don't really care.

[ help

A deep breath, then:

Let's get out of here.

RESULTS 1/?

[ well it's that time again! ish floats down from the balcony, expression amused. ]

That sure was some end to trial, huh? But you did come to a conclusion after all, so here it is:

For the deaths of G'raha Tia and Sariel you voted...Angelo. And I'm sorry to say, he was innocent.

There were other votes for: Bradley, Hamel, Hwylryn, Junior, and Vanis.

1/2 RESULTS (Culprit...s?!)

[personal profile] coldseep 2025-04-06 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
( Wow, Hwylryn sure has feelings about All That, and for Good Reason. In-laws, as they say. But more on that later. For now:

There is something about Hwylryn that shifts the moment Junior is named as culprit. He has been, since Tuesday, something too weak to walk under the weight of his own grief - until, finally, he couldn't. He's laid down for much of his time. He's sobbed; he's near about given up. And much of this was genuine.

But all of this seems to disappear into the breeze of the warm winds of these endless, rolling plains. He raises himself up, his long hair whipping about him like a tempest, and with striking alacrity he takes up Junior, and he holds him close against his chest, in his arms, and holds him firmly. Protectively.

He exhales soft. Ah, well. )


... Don't be upset with Junior. If you have anyone to take to task, it should be me.
