Day 03 Trial
[Once more, you are called together for a trial. All must be present - even Kimblee, unfortunately, as Our Lady does not wish him to be left unguarded.]
Hello again, my Faithful. Today we have two important matters to disucss:
The first is that of our regular trial. We must not allow the demons to distract us from what is most important. I also feel that in general we have been a bit... mm... conflicted? Distracted? I understand how difficult this is, but we must be decisive with our judgment. Therefore, those who do not present a clear vote by the end of the trial will have their vote counted as being for themselves. All of you find this ruling to be fair and just.
The other matter is that of the demon within Kimblee and those like him. Once again, I am sensing hesitation. I cannot say I understand why. I have told you all demons are liars, have I not? I have told you that their hosts cannot be taken back from them, have I not? And yet you would let this useless compassion sway you?
Perhaps you are worried about the innocents who may lose their life in these votes. Tragic though it is, everyone makes mistakes. And yet inaction can only lead to all of us losing our lives. Do you truly think the demons wish to wake you up when all this is over? You shouldn't.
However, I cannot force anything on you, and shall admit that there are other possibilities. Let us discuss them here today.
((Ordinary trial vote
Special "what do we do about demons" vote
Let's try to get this done by the usual time tomorrow! However if everyone is undecided and/or the discussion is still raging at that point, I will extend.
OK! We're going to extend to 11:35am my time (that's 9:35pm EST) so if you haven't voted on both polls, PLEASE DO THAT))

End-of-trial options
I can also take care of those who have been condemned. I'll simply sever them from their dreams and keep them here with me, in my temple. They will never be the same again, but they will not be dead.
We can also send them to the barn. Those who go to the barn never return.
One final option is to make sure they cannot sleep, especially at night. They must be held captive and monitored at all times. I believe this to be the worst option, as it wastes our valuable time, and as demons are insidious, dangerous liars who will take every last advantage they can find.
Of course, you may also propose your own solution.

Flames is the best choice.

Only that they will not return.

If not, I'd send them to the barn. That's basically a prison, right?

N...O NO NO NONONO IT ACTUALLY IS NOT
Kimblee has remained rather calm through the entirety of the proceedings; he'd been fine with Mustang asking about the damn barn. There's something about hearing it as an actual suggestion, however, that seems to strike him immediately; he'll be jerking forward rather abruptly as though considering flat-out fighting, though he manages to stop himself eventually.
He takes a moment to breathe, to try to calm himself down, and he isn't going to say anything; he's trying to be halfway graceful about it and he intends to keep to his word about deferring to the Lady's judgement, but he would really quite prefer something not the barn.]

...As little as I agree with your Lady about anything, she's entirely correct in keeping you away from the barn.
That's all I can say about it.

Technically, no.

Technically, yes. I am capable of doing that.

What's the deal with the barn?
