(Hey Hawk! If you want, you can have a character say something on the jury. I feed off of the drama >:3)

((hey uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I made a doodle illustration of this scene because the visual in my head is cool. The drawing is less cool. I'm sorry if I butchered your characters but I tried my best using the descriptions + google images)) ((The top row is the royal family, the second row from left to right is Wolfbite, Duskstorm, Greywind, Adderstripes, Lighttail, and Ripplestorm (i couldn't resist making him look smug & evil i'm sorry) and Skysong and Sandstripe are on the bottom. I don't know why Stoneheart came out so much bigger than everyone else, but, uh, hierarchy of scale and other such art history terms))

((I like the casting stones idea but I don't think Stoneheart would be willing to have that kind of tangible evidence of what the Jury wanted. Like in his mind he's doing this to humor everyone but in the end he's going to give Sandstripe the harshest punishment he can get away with without making everyone feel like they weren't listened to. But if we get a less manipulative ruler in place someday casting stones would be a cool method for the castle to make decisions.))
((Stoneheart is also opposed to the idea because he's afraid of stone puns.))

Very nice!!!)
Ripplestorm decided to finally speak up. "I still believe Sandstripe should be punished." He said making sure his voice was clear. "This could happen again, and we don't want cats to think traitors get off lightly. Besides how do we know Sandstripe is telling the truth?" He lets that hang in the air before speaking again. "This could all be a trick!"
Alderstripes dozed off for a few minutes before waking up. He blinked confused as to what was going on.

(Thank you, Ripplestorm! Also, did Adderstripes seriously take a nap during the trial. XD)
(Checking in on my other OCs.......)
- - Tawnyclaw
Tawnyclaw was a little startled by the opinions that everyone was expressing about the king. She had always kept to herself about these issues, and personally she was determined to stay that way. Noticing Honeyburr's look, she did a little joking eye roll at the group. "You should go tell them to just relax and watch dust motes," the she-cat whispered with a twitch of her whiskers. She liked the way she and Honeyburr could be discreet about their opinions. And she supposed the jury was doing a good job telling them to back off a bit, but she also knew that screaming at a cat (like Lighttail had) and telling them they were wrong was not the best way to make one listen.
- - Flamewhisker
Flamewhisker was shocked by all this. It was only the early stages of the trial and already everyone was so outspoken. Duskstorm brought up some good points, but the idea that everything wasn't always perfect was still so new and... terrifying to him. He was suddenly forced to acknowledge the flaws in his society, and well... It wasn't fun. He took a couple steps away from the crowd and settled in the back of the audience. He would observe from more of a distance since it was a little too much to take it all in head-on.

'A trick would not benefit someone in a lose-lose situation.' Duskstorm announced, casting Ripplestorm a side-ways glance. Sandstripe. I swear to all the ancestors- if you get me in trouble for defending your lies... I'll hunt you down myself. he flicked an ear, then gazed over and her. 'Of course she should be punished. She committed an act of treason. But should she really be killed for her actions? It just... seems wrong to drop to so low a level as to kill a cat who has been with us for so many moons.' He glanced at Lighttail, then up at Dewfern, his eyes sad. I'm sorry. I'm trying my best.
Wolfbite heaved a sigh. 'When I had my accident in the Heath- when my body was torn into unintelligible pieces, and I was forced to drag myself back home- Sandstripe was the one who nursed me back to full health with no complaints. If not for her, I would be dead today.' He lowered his head to lick one of his paws, the elder contemplating his words carefully. 'But perhaps the young ones are right.' He yawned, looking up at the brothers. 'Maybe we should accept a little change in our old lives. Create new punishments that are... less... how did Duskstorm put it?' 'Barbaric and cruel.' Duskstorm replied, and Wolfbite chuckled. 'Aye... those're the ones. We are both aged cats, Stoneheart. We've seen eye to eye. Let's see heart to heart.'

OMG Artemis thats so cool!!!! ))))
Greywind glanced around at the other cats before standing up herself and looking over the cats infront before finally staring at Sandstripe. "I have spoken to Sandstripe in between the accident and now as i guarded her and confiscated the posionous herbs she used." She moved her tail, pointing to the bundle of poisonous herbs on the platform. "She showed real signs of remorse and regret for her actions. And like the others have said before me, she has been part of our community for many moons and has helped us all: she healed my injuries after fighting to defend our king, she healed my injuries even when they were my own doing, my mother even told me that she helped deliverer me." Greywind felt a small smile at the mention of her deseased mother but quickly removed it. This was the tricky part, but she knew that she needed to say this part. "But...," She turned her gaze up to the royal family behind her, "As much as i feel that Sandstripe is a good cat, i know that as i am standing before our royals and our annsestors i must tell you something Sandstripe told me." Greywind hated this and turned back to the crowd, not bringing herself to look at Sandstripe directly. "She told me that she was 'trying to end his suffering'. I feel that this contests Sandstripes comment infront of our ansestors that she was merely trying to 'bring him to his senses'." Greywind moved to sit back in her position and looked down to Sandstripe sadly, hoping she knew that she only said that because she had to.

Rosebriar sat shocked by Graywind's statement.
Honeyburr nodded.
Waspbite continued to watch Dewfern he cared not who caught him staring. If only he would have a change to talk to her. He stopped staring only to glance around the room he caught sight of Tawnyclaw and purred. Though she looked different than the princess she was beautiful too. The part he avoided thinking was that every she-cat he saw was beautiful in her own right.
Basilwhisker continued to watch the proceedings wide eyed.

(Art's Art is always so good, I'm so jealous! ) - - DewfernDewfern's eyes widened. End his suffering? She was lying! But the she-cat then shook her head sadly, recognizing that Sandstripe had lied so much she wasn't even surprised anymore. Still. It wasn't helping her case to lie. She wished Sandstripe would have told the truth. If she had at the beginning, maybe this wouldn't have turned out so bad. No, it wouldn't have mattered. Dad would still be so mad- Her thoughts were cut off when she saw Waspbite staring at her. She squinted at him, confused, then when he was still, she looked back at the trial. Okay... That was weird... - - Lighttail"Are you kidding?" Lighttail exclaimed, her tail lashing furiously. "Sandstripe, seriously? End his suffering? That's what you say about prey." The bristling she-cat shook her head, growling lightly. She then, once again, flattened her fur and took a deep breath to regain her composure. "Look. As insane as that is, she did show remorse for her actions, and well... I guess if you were on a hunting patrol and you saw a dying bird, you'd kill it for the bird's sake and for the castle's sake. Now this is a totally different situation, and her judgement is way off," she shot a glance at the king to assure him that she did think she was crazy, "but the principals are there." She sighed and stared quietly at Sandstripe, her tail becoming still again. "Maybe she'll understand this after some time in the Heath."

Duskstorm released a heavy sigh, and glowered slightly at Greywind. He then glanced sadly up at Dewfern, noting her expression. He felt terrible that he couldn't ease her pain, and that he could no longer do anything for Sandstripe. She'd dug her own grave. He then noticed Waspbite staring at Dewfern, and his eyes narrowed at him. He felt a prickle of- something- in his chest, and the fur on his back and tail bristled. When he looked away, he coolled off a bit. Wolfbite sighed and looked at Duskstorm. 'We'll just have to wait and see what we can do, kid.' 'Aye sir.' Duskstorm murmured, looking down at his paws. Dear ancestors, did he feel older than his moons.

Waspbite feeling eyes on him deciders to star at the wall feeling uncomfortable that he might get unwanted attention not that he feels that's what he gives. He decided that it would be better to hide away his attraction. This isn't the place for it and he didn't want to get called out for it.
Rosebriar sat straighter her tail still lashed a little and she had to force her fur flat. Sandstripe had tried to kill the king and that's all that matters. She deserved to be banished at least though she might cause trouble still she thought.
Basilwhisker saw the different gazes as Waspbite stared at Dewfern and she noticed. He also noticed Duskstorm's gaze. He seemed almost jealous. Basilwhisker shook his head silly cats and their feelings of attraction.

(Ok! Great!)
Ashfire stood guard in front of the Royal Tower entrance. No cat would be allowed to pass through under any circumstances unless they were part of the Royal Family. She couldn't risk the Royal Family getting injured. The she-cat had heard that some cats planned a mutiny against the King. She knew not who was in own such a treasonous act, but it was best to keep her guard up. You couldn't trust any cats these days.

(Hey that's what I was doing right now. XD Go for it.) (So basically Sandstripe poisoned the king, and right now they're deciding her fate with a trial, Storm. It's all pretty complicated. You can have your cat do anything, but it might be more fun to be in the hall.)

Honeyburr continued to watch her face slipping into a grimice for a second before she brought it back to a blank stare. She was not excited to see what happened to all the cats who had spoken out against the king. At least I'm not with them and they don't know I am not loyal to the king either.

Ok!)
Ashfire sat in the hall waiting to see what Sandstripe's fate would be. But it was clear what they should do. Sandstripe should be thrown into the Rat's nest to receive the painful torment she deserves. How dare she poison the king! At the moment Ashfire wanted to sink her teeth into Sandstripe's scruff and drag her claws along her spine.
