Chancellor's Carnival of Deadmans

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor looked at Tybalt with a knowing smile. "So that the candy will taste better!" He chipped. "And the bags are filled with fun activities and everything you'll need to make your new home more enjoyable."

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor's face lit up and his eyes glittered with hope before he nodded. "I believe you. Which is why I'm giving you this time to redeem yourself. Prove your innocence." With this, he clamped one of the silver collars on Tybalt and handed him his bag. "Just eat your piece of candy every morning and do as your told, so I can be sure you're telling me the truth."

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor sighed and pat Tybalt's head. "Are you... arguing?" The guards all turned to face Tybalt and The Chancellor, but hadn't yet raised their weapons.

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor shook his head with a sad smile. "All crimes against me are punishable by death. Innocent or not, you must prove to me that you are loyal."

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor chuckled, but then stopped when a feline ran towards them and grabbed The Chancellor's skirt collar. "Please! Please help me! C-candy! I need more candy!" She begged.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray stepped up into his position in line, and looked around. "U-Um...I-I know it sounds crazy...b-but you'll want four collars for me....I-I mean, I-I'm four people."

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor just looked at the cat with his warm smile as she yelled and carried on. The collar around the cat's neck beeped and flashed red as it tightened around her neck.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked partially confused. He wasn't sure what the wallguard was thinking, and sighed. "O-Or not...you can speak with the Chancellor...he might have some more information."

[Aconitum]

The guard looked at Ray and sighed. "You'll be fine."

After a moment, the cat fell to the ground, completely suffocated and died. The Chancellor sighed and bent down to remove the cat's collar. "That's what will happen if candy isn't eaten."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "I-I hope the collar fits everyone." He continued into the prison, holding the bag close to his chest.

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor looked at Tybalt then to Ray and back. "She gave her piece to a friend, but she's terrible at the Dog Races, so she wasn't able to pay for a new piece.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray opened his bag, and inspected it's contents. "What's so special about this candy?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and closed the bag. His eyes changed colors briefly, from a pale hazel to a royal purple. He spoke, but didn't quite sound like himself. "Seems like we've got an item worth hording." Ray then looked up at the 'cells', or whatever they were staying in. "Woe betides they who bunk with us, dear siblings." He smiled, evil written all over his face. "We'll starve them of what they crave." Ray shuddered, and returned to normal, holding his head gently.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray rubbed his eyes, and the looked at Tybalt, smiling kindly. He waved slightly, trying to be friendly.

[Aconitum]

The Chancellor sighed after a moment and placed a kind paw on Ray's shoulder. "You won't be bunking with anyone. You'll be put with my other deadmans." He looked at Tybalt. "So will you, but since you're innocent, you'll be placed in a cell with one of my most trusted."
