Day 01 Trial

[shimmershimmer]

[Afternoon is here, and the time has come. We must gather at the temple to enact our solemn duty. There are tears in the Shimmering Lady's eyes as she addresses the group.]

This is something we must do together. Please discuss among yourselves who you believe to be a Demon. Each villager has one vote, and when the trial is over, I'd like you all to close your eyes and concentrate on your choice. If you are not certain, then you may select "no one." But if someone is chosen...

I shall take it from there.

((Vote here! You have 24 hours. More details on the voting page.))

Well, yeah, you have a point there, but what about tomorrow? They'll cut at least another one of us down and we'll be in this exact same situation. So then what?

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

I have already suggested a plan for tomorrow. Bulat and I are surely innocent, so if both Seers turn their eyes towards us, we will know for certain which dreams are trustworthy without having to spill a single drop of innocent blood.

[glaciates]

...That's a good idea, actually. If you guys really are innocent, that'll reveal who the Seer is. We still don't know who the second one is though, and they might not be willing to come forward.

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

I should hardly blame them for staying silent. We have but one Templar to protect us and your partner is already seeking their attentions.

I'm sure they will find a way to share what they know, especially once they actually know anything.

[glaciates]

That's a good point.

[...]

And uh, sorry for being so rash. You have some good points and your idea's definitely worth looking into, assuming the Seers decide to try it.

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

Even if only one of them finds reason in my suggestion, that should still be enough. I would like both their results for the sake of certainty, but.... [ Let's just say Kimblee doesn't exactly fill him with confidence. ]

One way or the other, I believe tomorrow will be enlightening.

[glaciates]

Yeah, I hope so.

[cafeolay]

Ha...!

And what makes the rest of us so sure of your innocence, amigo?

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

Our Lady said herself, that the demons took control of their unfortunate hosts through their dreams. Bulat and I took the Night Watch last night, and so since Our Lady's very first warning of the demons, we have had no dreams through which we could be ensnared.

[cafeolay]

Are you saying you didn't nod off at all, amigo? Not even a wink?

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

[ The very suggestion makes Oswin bristle a little. ]

I proudly served as a knight of Ostia for many years. Maintaining constant vigilance throughout the night is a trivial matter after such training!

[cafeolay]

Well now. A bonafied knight.

[Smirks. What a douche]

What about your pal?

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

My husband is also a reliable man. We did not volunteer for the first watch out of idle fancy, Godot, we are trained professionals.

[cafeolay]

Oh, I believe you. [Is he being sarcastic? Who knows]

But I'm not sure everyone else is just going to take your word for it, knight or no.

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

Such suspicion serves no one. Progress cannot be made if we doubt even the simplest of information. Our trust shall be our sword and shield in the coming days, and it should not be cast aside lightly.
