[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Phiros] I was just sitting in town, talking to a friend... when Minathel came up behind me and stole 60c!
[Phiros] I didnt notice at first, but then he rubbed it in my face, I checked my purse, and i saw.. 60c were missing!
[Phiros] witness: Prue
[Haengemie] Thank you, Phiros
[Haengemie] Prue, please approach the witness railing, to the Northeast of the jury box. You have 15 seconds.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue. You have been called to testify in this matter, please state the pertinent facts to the jury.
[Haengemie] Prue, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Prue] I can't honestly say I saw any mugging
[Prue] although Minathel did mention something about getting away with something
[Prue] Prue looks cross
[Prue] I can't stand for someone working my side of the street
[Prue] Phiros coins were mine, if they were anybody's
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Prue] can anyone spare boatfare for a poor witch
[Prue] I think I'm
[Haengemie] Thank you, Prue
[Prue] done
[Haengemie] Minathel, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Minathel] Your honor, I gave 60 coins to Phiros toward his purchase of a wand. When he was given a wand, he returned coins to others, but not me.
[Minathel] others, but not me. I confronted him with this and he gave me the coins freely.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Minathel] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Minathel
[Haengemie] Phiros, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Phiros] AH! The others asked for there money, he did not. He later came up behind me and stole it from me!!

[Phiros] Not stole it!
[Phiros] hes knows I would have givin the money back
[Phiros] And whats with all this rubbing it in my face???
[Phiros] He said "ya, and I got away with it"
[Phiros] DONE
[Haengemie] Thank you, Phiros
[Haengemie] Minathel, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Minathel] All I have to say, Your Honor, is to look at my record. -0- bad Karma.
[Minathel] I hardly think a theif would have such a status in this community.
[Minathel] I requested the coins, and waited almost an hour before confronting Phiros with his (honest) oversight.
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Minathel] He repaid me, and the matter ended, so far as I was concerned.
[Minathel] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Minathel
