[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Syndrael] can I talk?
[Syndrael] oh.
[Syndrael] I was in town asking to buy a kudzu seed to plant.
[Syndrael] And rogue answered and told me I had to free up space in my bag.
[Syndrael] So he bought my club for one coin.
[Syndrael] I went to the middle of town, and he told me he'd plant it after I gave him 100 coins.
[Syndrael] I did so, and he planted it so it trapped me in a corner!
[Syndrael] I asked him for a club, and he laughed and ran off.
[Syndrael] I yelled for help and Rimbaud and Faverye came
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Syndrael] they cut the kudzu and told me to go to court.
[Syndrael] how do I call a witness?
[Syndrael] witness: Rimbaud
[Haengemie] Thank you, Syndrael
[Haengemie] Rimbaud, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Rimbaud. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Rimbaud, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Rimbaud] i saw him yelling in town about it
[Rimbaud] and i came to help him
[Rimbaud] indeed he was trapped in a corner by it
[Rimbaud] Syndrael is sort of new
[Rimbaud] and rogue is takeing advantige of him
[Rimbaud] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Rimbaud
[Haengemie] Rogue, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Rogue] I don't know who Syndrael is, never seen him before, and I certainly didn't lock him in kudzu.
[Rogue] This is a nuisance suit that I have no evidence for, since it didn't happen.
[Rogue] LonesomeDove has seen me around (we were fighting in the undine cavern) and I certainly have not been acting like a jerk or anything.
[Rogue] like a jerk or anything
[Rogue] I can only conclude that I'm being mixed up with someone else with a similar name.
[Rogue] Some of you have known me as Heal-o-rama, pre-Ripture. I have a good reputation. I'm innocent.
[Rogue] Rimbaud didn't see me, because I wasn't there.
[Rogue] I've already gotten bad karma, and I haven't done a dang thing.
[Rogue] I feel sorry for newbies, but I certainly don't take advantage of them.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Rogue] I humbly submit that I'm innocent, and syn is mistaken.
[Rogue] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Rogue
[Haengemie] Syndrael, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Syndrael] Huh Trauma?
[Syndrael] He did it thoguh
[Syndrael] that's not fair, now he wont' get in trouble and I'm out money...
[Syndrael] witness: faverye
[Haengemie] faverye isn't in the courtroom. Your witness must be present to be called.
[Syndrael] witness: Fayerye
[Haengemie] Thank you, Syndrael
[Haengemie] Fayerye, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Fayerye. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Fayerye, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Fayerye] I just saw him yelling
[Fayerye] I just saw him yelling
[Fayerye] so me and Rimbaud went over and cut the kudzu
[Fayerye] we freed him, he was obviously trapped
[Fayerye] and he did not have a club
[Fayerye] but I didn't see anyone trap him
[Fayerye] I don't know who it was, but someone wasn't very nice
[Fayerye] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Fayerye
[Haengemie] Rogue, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Rogue] Some of you know me, and know my reputation. I don't take advantage of others.
[Rogue] Syndrael is clearly a newbie, but I bear no ill-will towards his calling me into court.
[Rogue] I might even suspect that he planted himself in, and is just trying to make a little money.
[Rogue] In short, I'm innocent.
[Rogue] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Rogue
[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Rogue this court finds you innocent. You are free to go.
