[Tarf] and what little health i had
[Tarf] to pull algy out of the burning mess
[Tarf] and heal him

[Tarf] i recommend a fiery sentence for malkor
[Tarf] algy is beloved
[Tarf] and should not be treated in this manner
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Malkor] Grr
[Malkor] I try not to be judgemental...
[Malkor] But James is quite frankly a moron.
[Malkor] I was experimenting with fire, and was having Algernon heal me AFTER I stopped flaming
[Malkor] James comes along, starts calling me horrible names, and says I'm burning algernon.
[Malkor] So Mr. genious over there runs into the building, gets himself on fire, and has algernon heal him.
[Malkor] Well, Algernon catches fire, and I pull James and Alg apart.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Malkor] Unfortunately, Algernon was still moving, and ran into the building
[Malkor] He fell then, and Tarf and I pulled him out.
[Malkor] ugh
[Haengemie] Thank you, Malkor
[Haengemie] James, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[James] See how malkor runs?
[James] He's is oviusly Lieing
[James] And tarf can vouch for me
[James] also
[James] also
[James] Malkor was bburning algy
[James] ...
[James] He is lieing
[James] here's tarf to tell you the whole story
[James] the real thing

[Haengemie] Tarf, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Tarf] Tarf makes a big mess in the box. He looks proud.
[Tarf] Algy was burning and i saved him
[Tarf] he should not have been where he was
[Tarf] Malkor was playing with fire, and got butned
[Tarf] Malkor was playing with fire, and got burned
[Tarf] he then had algy follow the same fate
[Tarf] maybe it was an accident
[Tarf] but he did put algy in danger
[Tarf] this is a precedent
[Tarf] do we want our Algy to be threatened constantly with death?
[Tarf] i think not...
[Tarf] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Tarf
[Haengemie] Malkor, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Malkor] yeah
[Malkor] Ugh....
[Malkor] I knew the fire was in town, and that if anyone came along and snertishly pushed him in like James....
[Malkor] That healers would come immediately.
[Malkor] I just was tired of having healers come and get me fallen.
[Malkor] I didn't mean for James to kill Algernon.
[Malkor] I'm sorry he burned him.
[Malkor] Malkor squeezes his sunstone and concentrates.
[Malkor] I think Slyph can validate my story.
[Malkor] witness: Slpyh
[Haengemie] Slpyh isn't in the courtroom. Your witness must be present to be called.
[Malkor] witness: Slyph
[Malkor] witness: Slyph

[Haengemie] Thank you, Slyph. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinant facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Slyph, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Slyph] Slyph rearranges her shiney coppers in her purse
[Slyph] Slyph rearranges her shiney coppers in her purse
[Slyph] yes, what malkor claims is true.
[Slyph] I was there.

[Slyph] I saw it all
[Slyph] he's an angel. :)

[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] James this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] And, because I find the friviolity of this case to be contemptuous,...
[Haengemie] I'm going to double the maximum penalty (240 min/2000 c)
[Haengemie] I suggest that the jury recommend a stiff sentence.
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take James's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's sentencing recommendation.

[Haengemie] James, you are hereby sentenced to spend 26 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 312 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (266c) as additional jail-time of 35 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.

Court adjourned at 23:05 on 31 Summer, 535
