STILL IN PROGRESS
----The Traitors are dragged in from the dungeons or the infirmary, wherever they might have been. Awaiting their trial, and their final sentence----
Ed:
Ed:
*ow sun. Damn you Apollo... annnnd pushed into a chair cubicle thing. chained? idk. whatever the set up is*
Remus: *sitting at the praetors' podium in one of the two chairs, fingers steepled as he thinks about how this is all going to go*
Jason: *slouched into his chair, his praetor toga clothed over his stub on the right. Has bags under his eyes and his hair is disheveled from not learning how to take care of himself correctly yet*
Charlie: *watching with narrowed eyes, her brow furrowing as she watches the other members of the senate, waiting for the opening remarks to begin.
Chris: *sitting on his seat, right next to Charlie, looking at the traitors, still deliberating what to think about them, but wanting to kill them both with his hands,*
Tessa: -her breathing was still a bit shallow from the wounds in her chest, but she was managing fine with the wheel chair certain people decided she needed to use-
Clare: *sitting in her seat and fidgeting with nerves. Every once in a while she'd glance at Jason, worried about him, and also looking towards his experience and guidance in judging people like this. She wasn't sure what to do about the traitors herself and didn't want to see more pain*
Ronan: *watches Edmund closely, taking a deep breath as he watches his brother. this was going to be hard for him to make a decision.*
Ed: *just sits there, completely shut up. occasionally looks to see who's there and not and such, but mostly it's just him deadpan staring at nothing in particular*
Rhia: -waiting in some kind of room else where in the building, waiting quietly with whatever guards are near by-
Jupiter/Trivia: -there-
Remus: Edmund Simons. You have been charged with treason and betrayal of this camp and it's members to the Titan lord Saturn in this most recent war. How do you plead?
Ed: *picks his head up and looks Remus directly in the eye; voice slightly hoarse from not being used* Guilty.
Jason: Well there ya have it folks. Now for the sentencing, since you have condemned yourself guilty and feel no need for a trial.
Chris: Praetor Kyoto, we have some probable proof of contrary and witnesses about the innocence of both of the traitors.
mars/mercury: *watching intently with their mouths closed*
Charlie: *glances at Chris for a brief moment before returning her eyes back to that usual pain in the podex. Chris did have a point. not that she felt inclined to show much mercy at this point*
Tessa: "Praetor Kyoto I believe by law you still need to proceed with telling him what rights he is giving up by pleading guilty, and he still must testify under oath for his actions."
Jason: *shoots Tessa a look* Fine. Edmund, you're giving up any possibility for us to like you by pleading guilty. Guilty charges can be extreme, blah blah blah. You need to testify under oath.
Apollo: *looking at them nodding at Ashby's words and proudly looking at Tessa, as a god of law and morality.*
Remus: She has a point, Jason... Chris, what proof do you have?
Tessa: -looks at Remus with a look of 'are you sure uncle is okay here?'-
Ed: (the flat voice we all know and love) Terms accepted. *clears throat* I swear on the River Styx that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, don't help me gods.
Remus: *shoots Tessa a slightly helpless look to show he's not really sure, but it's only proper so there's not much he can do; he really was worried about his co-praetor*
Mercury: *says nothing but facepalms*
Chris: *stands up and looks at all of them* we have found several mechanical instruments that were explosive, vulcan children said that only one like Edmund Simons could have invented such things.
Remus: *nods* Where did you find them?
Chris: on the battle field right on their side, places where our people hadn't gotten there yet by the time the monsters died.
Jason: But there was more Vulcan kids than Edmund in Saturn's army, was there not?
Ronan: praetor, there are signatures in items the no other children of Vulcan have. it is unique to their creator.
Tessa: "Mr. Simons do you have anything to say for this testimony?"
Jason: Thank you Tessa, but we will be asking the question and asking for rebukes from the person on trial.
Tessa: "We are all in this trial Praetor Kyoto. We may all ask for him to speak."
Edmund: Yes, Kyoto, there were other
Remus: *clears his throat, not wanting to rebuke Tessa, but technically Jason did have a point. The praetors presided over the trial first, nods to Edmund* Ronan's words should be taken into account though, as he is knowledgeable about this topic more than any of the rest of us. Were any of these devices examined by a descendent of Vulcan?
Chris: yes, I brought them to the very one that made the shields that saved our lives. Silverwood told me the exact words Centurion Redpath said.
