Came a new, booming voice from the doors of the courtroom as they flew inwards with a resounding crash. "Overruled!" NC-JJ spat, "You can not object things I say!" "Well in that case, I have an objection of another nature!" Everyone turned to face the newcomer and noticed it to be a strange looking man in dark purple mage robes, holding a copy of the latest C++ programming book he could get his hands on. "Ah damn, not Mord..." NC-JJ sweatdropped when he finally recognized the author for what he was. "Yes! It's me!" I replied, "I've been watching the proceedings of this trial, both times, and have noticed some grave injustices done upon the accused, good ol' Chris Kern." "But... you're the one who started the entire thing." Amara pikued, "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have even started the trial!" Mord sweatdropped as he grinned nervously, "Yeah, but I didn't expect things to proceed the way they have!" "Liar." SD-KM accused me, ME of all people! "What are you here to do, at any rate?" Sprite raised an eyebrow, "You saw what happened to the last author that messed with us." "Hey!" Chris complained at Sprite's comment. "Don't forget you're defending me!" "And that's the injustice I've been talking about." I spat. "How can you expect an Otaku Warrior to properly defend an author?! Which is why I move that -I- be the new defending lawyer on Chris' behalf." "I move for Sprite's last string of obscenities be striken from the post!" I called. "Already done." NC-JJ replied, "Sprite, you will take your new place as part of the jury." "Awww, Nutbunnies." Sprite pouted, then went to play Otakumania with SD-KM and TuxZ. I sat down next to Chris at the defendant's table and tried to explain the situation to him. "Ok Chris, here's the deal... after reviewing the evidence up to date, and considering the current state of mind of NC-JJ, I don't think you have a chance of winning this thing." "Your humor!" Chris jumped to his feet, "I want Sprite back!" "I OBJECT!" I shouted. "Sustained." NC-JJ sweatdropped. "You're trying to get me killed! What about all those talks on IRC and and... and ... well, what about all those talks on IRC!" Chris whispered, "Doesn't that mean anything to you? I'd thought you'd actually try to save me from your own character!" "Calm down, calm down." I replied, "There is a possible way..." "I've already put the sympathy act on the jury." Chris explained, "But since they can't remember that they're not suppose to be playing video games, I can't guarrentee that they'll remember what I told them." "I doubt that'll work anyway, as NC-JJ will just rule whatever he wants regardless of their verdict." I mumbled, "But there's still a chance..." "What is it?" "Any time you guys are ready." Amara complained. I waved my hand to silence her, but silenced Herr by accident due to a typo. After a second wave, she quieted down so I could finish my explanation. "Plead Guilty." "WHAT?!" "You heard me! NC-JJ wants you out of the picture for good, but if you admit to your crimes, and we know that as far as these guys are concerned, they -are- crimes, odds are he'll go easy on you." I explained. "Your humor, can we just give a verdict and get on with it?" TuxZ asked. "If these two clowns don't hurry up, I might allow that." NC-JJ muttered as he spun his mallet around in circles. "Think about it while I call another witness." I said, "Your Humor, I call Tuxedo Zorro to the stand!" TBC? -- Dionysus Email me if you wanna know the "fate" and ruling I have in mind for you K. ^_^
