[Royal Guard] Trial of Daerid

[Kel Russell]

<Lachlan`Brewer> "Your name is Daerid Lasein, yes?"  6I'm assuming they got
all of his information, as per policy etc.
<Daerid`Lasein> Aye, that do be me name, though I 'ave gone by a few others
in me time, y'know. Daerid is me -real- one though.
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Just a simply yes or no will suffice.  I will now read
your charges.  And do be aware that any lie you speak will be caught."
6She held up the ring with its pretty red gem to signify just how she could
tell.
<Daerid`Lasein> Aye, *he says, nodding.*
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Altogether there are six counts of assault upon a Crown
Official, one count damage to property, one count of assault upon a patron,
two counts resisting arrest, and one possible count of theft.  Did you steal
any coin, Daerid?"
<Lachlan`Brewer> (as per the Hyena incident as listed in the report filed by
Idelle)
<Daerid`Lasein> Aye, *he replies, biting his tongue before he goes on to
elaborate on that.*
<Lachlan`Brewer> "You do know that some of these offer very grave
consequences," 6she told him with a serious expression.  1"With all of
these piled up as they are, I am in my full rights to have you executed."
* Daerid`Lasein dosen't seem to suprised at that remark. "Aye, I've a pretty
good idea o' jus' 'ow bad what I did was."
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Do you have anything to say in your own defense?"
* Daerid`Lasein seems to think on that oen for a long while. "Y'know, nae
really Yer 'onor. Anythin' I do be sayin' is jus' liable ta be settin' off
that nifty trinket o' yers there." He didn;t really feel like testing the
powers of that ring. It'd probably just land him in a worse situation than
this.
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Then do you want to die?"  6Some people tried to martyr
themselves to make everything else look bad.  But she was more curious than
anything.
* Daerid`Lasein gives a shake of his head at that one. "Cin nae be sayin' I
'ave e'er -wanted- ta die. Figured this'd be the way it'd be 'appenin' iffin
I stayed me path though. 'tis nae reason ta try'n argue me way out o' this."
And that was that pretty much. Dae'd long ago come to terms with the idea of
dying at the gallows, or the headsman's block. "I jus' do 'onestly be
suripsed that I 'ave made it this long
<Daerid`Lasein> 14:cut14: without bein' caught." The ast is said with
soemthing of a grin.
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Then I have something better for you.  Which hand is it
you use to fire your crossbow."
<Daerid`Lasein> Either one, *he supplies. Indeed Dae was ambidexterous.*
<Daerid`Lasein> Normally the left though. Closer ta where I keep me toy
y'know.
* Lay`Trayin remains silent and stoic on the stool near the door as she
listens to the proceedings
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Then I suppose we'll cut off both of your trigger
fingers.  Two weeks' imprisonment (starting 2/6 to be released the morning
of 2/21), thirty lashes, and restitution in the full amount of what you
stole from Hyena paid to the Guardhouse or the Royal Church.  You decide."
* Lay`Trayin frowns slightly at the sentence but says nothing for the time
being.
* Daerid`Lasein crosses one leg over the other, tapping one finger against
his jaw. "Suppose iffin I decide ta refuse we'll jus' be goin' straight ta
cut 'is bloody 'ead off right? Aye...'ow 'bout we do without the
imprisonment. Been 'ere long 'nough as it is y'know. The lashes, an'
returning o' the coin I cin 'andle easily 'nough. Both me trigger fingers
does sound a wee bit 'arsh...Beats bein' strung up though
<Daerid`Lasein> 14:cut14: I do suppose."
<Lachlan`Brewer> "I can very well extend it to a full month, if you'd wish
to barter, Daerid.  It was harsh of you to pull a crossbow, which will be
confiscated, on the Guard.  It was harsh when you threw a creature through a
window of an inn.  It was harsh when you did a lot of things.  Perhaps I may
add community service at the Royal Church?  It could do with a good
cleaning."
* Tagert is on IRC (Shaun's online)
* Lay`Trayin brings a hand up to conceal her chuckle at dae's and lachlan's
responses but oterhwise remains silent
* Daerid`Lasein merely smiles. "I was jus' sayin' y'know. Ye -did- ask me
afterall."
<Lachlan`Brewer> "I asked you if you had anything to say in your defense.
You said no.  Consider yourself performing a thorough cleaning at the Royal
Church under the scrutiny of Father Cormllenaa, who is also a professor at
the Royal University.  Your imprisonment is extended to three weeks.  Do you
have anything else to say?"  6Her brows rose.
* Daerid`Lasein shakes his head. "Nothin' more ta say at all lassy. Jus' let
me the 'ell out o' 'ere so I cin go get meself some rest." He was aggrivated
to be sure, more so at his ability to do nothing about this situation than
at the punishment laid upon him.
<Lachlan`Brewer> "Do take him to be washed up, Lieutenant.  Then take him to
have his fingers removed and bandaged.  He will be flogged tomorrow
morning," 6in the icy cold, 1"and returned to his cell for the duration of
his three weeks' imprisonment.  I will send a missive to the Royal Church
about their impending cleaning."  6She stood.  1"If there is nothing
else?"
<Lay`Trayin> what of his weapons your honor? are they to be confiscated?
6she speaks in a measured tone of voice as she does not wish to rile the
magistrate
<Lachlan`Brewer> "As I said earlier, yes they are."  6She raised a brow at
Lay.
* Daerid`Lasein tenses at this. The numerous daggers he could forget about,
even the crossbow. He could get new ones afterall. His swords though, they
were priceless, and absolutley irreplacible.
* Lay`Trayin bites her lip then as she had missed that part then rises to
her feet and motions for dae to exit the room before her and motiond for him
to head back towards the cells so she can prepare for his bath and the
removal of his fingers
* Daerid`Lasein stands slowly, resisting the urge to leap at the judge.
Stiffly he turns and follows after Lay, trying to calm himself.
* Lay`Trayin moves into the hall then waits for dae to move in front of her
as she points the direction for him to go
* Daerid`Lasein mumbles some sort of obscenity, not at Lay, but at the
general way in which his life had been going lately. He starts off in the
direction indicated.
* Lay`Trayin then directs dae past his old cell and further back into the
guardhouse where the bathing facilties are.
<Lachlan`Brewer> (I think we're done.  Daerid, please don't play this
character from 2/6 to the morning of 2/28 as per his imprisonment.  He will
be released 12:01 Drache time on the morning of the 28th.  Feel free to play
him after that, but please remember his mutilations, community service,
restitutions and weaponlessness.)
<Lachlan`Brewer> (And, no, there's really no way to get his weapons back.)
<Daerid`Lasein> (That's a pain. Alot of thoguht went into those swords
y'know.)
<Lachlan`Brewer> (Shoulda thought of that before you went and did what you
did.)
<Daerid`Lasein> (Meh. I am sure I shall live)

The sentence will be from:
2/6 to the morning of 2/28

Daerid`Lasein is the complete name.  If he is seen playing in the inn,
please alert an op.
