"All right, bring'm in."

The toa walked into the room far too large for him and his ilk, head held high despite being bound by a muzzle, guards flanking his sides. Chains dragged behind him, attached to four manacles that wrapped uncomfortably around his legs. When he stood before her, looking up with a smug grin, the guards clipped the shackles to a metal bar rooting the accused before the judge. Corundum had seen several criminals pass by her stand today, and few of them were of much interest. This one, while she could respect his drive, he still was a criminal, and again, not that interesting of one. She looked over information that had been handed to her briefly before addressing the toa.

"Mordred's Lullaby. Yeh have been accused on multiple occasions an' accounts of sexually harassing the Garoch populace, and of conspiracy to kidnap our kind. How d'ya plead?"

The toa seemed to think to himself for a minute, his head and tail swaying side to side, as his chains wouldn't allow him to engage in a pondering motion with his hands. Then suddenly, his tail shot up. Corundum sighed.

"You could have just said you were into bondage too." Were the unfortunate words that came out of his mouth.

Some kind of attempt at a joke. Garochs that had gathered to watch the trial complained despite themselves. Corundum came down from the podium, sizing him up, circling. Shark-like. The teeth on her didn't make the analogy any less reasonable. Standing behind him, she shook her head.

"'Guilty' is far fewer syllables. And yeh only get to speak that way to me if yer interested in switchin' to a trial by combat."

Ocean Shadows Notoriety Phase 3 for Mordred! Corundum lays down the law. Mordred wouldn't know what a law was if it bit him.

Featuring Raspoie, Amlin, and Varsha watching the trial.
