Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Atomical] I know what your all thinking. Not another Algernon case! Well this one has a twist. Algernon has apparently been brainwashed.
[Atomical] I found him dehydrated in a small house in south puddleby
[Atomical] Howerver, I only will give due credit to pyromaniac, who found him
[Atomical] I was just roaming at the time
[Atomical] I would like to be so bold as to call
[Atomical] Sir
[Atomical] Witness: Bigfat
[Haengemie] Thank you, Atomical
[Haengemie] Bigfat, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bigfat. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Bigfat, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Bigfat] Algernon, is our friend.
[Bigfat] We all love him.
[Bigfat] But
[Bigfat] To think someone draged him to a hut.
[Bigfat] And possibly druged him.
[Bigfat] He as asleep.
[Bigfat] Crying and shivering.
[Bigfat] And yes, this is all true.
[Bigfat] Ageless draged him.
[Bigfat] All the way to the S. Farm hut.
[Bigfat] I saw it with my own eyes.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Bigfat] Then, ageless, stole his crown.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Bigfat
[Haengemie] AgelessStranger, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[AgelessStranger] AgelessStranger titters.
[AgelessStranger] I did not drag him.
[AgelessStranger] He came of his own free will.
[AgelessStranger] He trusts me, you see.
[AgelessStranger] I am his friend.
[AgelessStranger] AgelessStranger smiles pleasantly.
[AgelessStranger] I am trying to help him
[AgelessStranger] The only danger he was in...
[AgelessStranger] Was from the fools...
[AgelessStranger] People that is
[AgelessStranger] Who interrupted me
[AgelessStranger] They should not have done that.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[AgelessStranger] Witness: Algernon
[Haengemie] Thank you, AgelessStranger
[Haengemie] Algernon, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Atomical, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Atomical] hmmm
[Atomical] I reject Algernons defense
[Atomical] Judge I request permission to approach the bench
[Haengemie] Dandelion , Algies faithfull friend isn't in the courtroom. Your witness must be present to be called.
[Atomical] witness: Dandelion , Algies faithfull friend
[Atomical] witness: Dandelion
[Haengemie] Thank you, Atomical
[Haengemie] Dandelion, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Dandelion. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Dandelion, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Dandelion] When I arrived, Algernon and AgelessStranger were in the hut
[Dandelion] AgelessStranger was toying with a number of white pebbles
[Dandelion] This seemed to mesmerize Algernon
[Dandelion] He went into a very restless trance
[Dandelion] and could not be waked
[Dandelion] We were all asked to leave by AgelessStranger
[Dandelion] When we did not,
[Dandelion] he made thinly veiled threats against Algernon
[Dandelion] After a time, he said that I may stay, but the rest must leave
[Dandelion] At that time, he was called to court
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Dandelion] He would not tell us his intentions toward Algernon
[Dandelion] and he was quite threatening toward Atomical
[Haengemie] Thank you, Dandelion
[Haengemie] AgelessStranger, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[AgelessStranger] Hmm, apparently, Algernon did not want to show up as a witness :)
[AgelessStranger] AgelessStranger titters.
[AgelessStranger] All that Dandelion said is true.
[AgelessStranger] The threats part, however...
[AgelessStranger] The threats were quite heavily veiled...
[AgelessStranger] AgelessStranger smiles brightly.
[AgelessStranger] And they were the truth.
[AgelessStranger] They were something I could not help...
[AgelessStranger] It was dangerous for Algernon to be next to a large crowd...
[AgelessStranger] In the state he was in.
[AgelessStranger] Jury...
[AgelessStranger] I don't really care what you vote, my friends
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[AgelessStranger] But I believe Algernon is still asleep.
[AgelessStranger] AgelessStranger's eyes gleam.
[AgelessStranger] Thank you.
[Haengemie] Thank you, AgelessStranger
