Turn 14: Suspiciously lucky.1. London- Tersr
You listen as the boy recounts the tale, although he seems to miss out the mention of him being a thief. HE says that you chased him, unprovoked, through the streets.
"Quiet in the court! Now, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I was just walking down the street when out... When all of a sudden...erm..." (2) You forget your speech entirely, and default to the only thing you remember.
"That boy is a thief!" (1) The court gasps, and the judge shakes his head. You cannot even hear your own protests over the following rabble, and accept defeat.
The judge sentences you to [2 turns] in jail.
When in jail, you can only plan for what to do when out. No actions can be taken in jail, except talking to fellow inmates and guards. Name: Aaron
