[09:58] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) had noticed Kati was up there, "Tal to you Your Honor," she then goes to take a seat

[09:58] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Abraham great to see you"

[09:59] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): Marcus Kissamenus sits silently, not even sure what this is all about really. and until he read the large scroll there, it was just another interruption in his always self serving way of things.

[09:59] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): Tal Abe"

[10:02] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): Tal Varn , a good day to convict someone

[10:02] Kati Evans: "Very well, let us begin," I announced, my voice ringing with clear authority. "The court is now in session." My gaze swept deliberately across the room, first to my left, then to my right, ensuring all parties were present and ready to proceed.

[10:03] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) nods to Kati, "Yes, Your Honor, I am ready."

[10:05] Kati Evans: "Who is bringing the complaint?" I inquired, my voice cutting through the stillness of the newly opened court. My gaze swept over those present, awaiting the response that would set the course of the proceedings. "Is that you?" (looking at Bea)

[10:05] El (elphabala): Your Honour i am the Prosecution

[10:06] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Your Honor I am the Defense Advocate in this particular case"

[10:07] Kati Evans: "Then, Prosecution, tell us what this is about," I directed, my gaze settling on the advocate, signaling for them to begin laying out the charges before the court.

[10:07] zCS # [Mod] Marrlenus Mullen switched from [RP] to [Away].

[10:08] El (elphabala): Your honour, the Defence, the court and those here today. I will spend some time outlining this case to you all and our Prosecution aim.

[10:08] El (elphabala): The Prosecution maintain there are Two Parts to this Trial: P1: The FW known as Lady Chocolate Current Status & P2: FW Conduct Historical and on the day in Question

[10:08] Charlotte Huszan Bemici (noiredeux) is offline.

[10:09] El (elphabala): For Part 1: Current Status of the Lady Lucy Chocolate has been reduced to that of a slave. This was done on the day of the incident on the 3rd day of the 4th passing hand (6th week) in the 4th month 10,176 C.A. ((14th July 2025)), just over a week ago.

[10:09] El (elphabala): I have received a letter from the Ubar of this City which i shall present to your Honour and the Defence, for the court i shall read,

[10:09] Charlotte Huszan Bemici (noiredeux) is online.

[10:09] El (elphabala): for the court i will show it

[10:10] El (elphabala): "I am greatly displayed to hear that my Administrators daughter, Lady Lucy Chocolate has been enslaved by another citizen of our great city, I do not support this and I write to insist the FW be reinstated immediately in accordance with the City Laws and Laws of our Gorean World.

[10:10] El (elphabala): In addition to this she should have her day in Court before Her Honour Lady Magistrate: Kati Evans and this Citizen be held accountable for her behaviours.

[10:11] El (elphabala): I am dismayed at hearing of her behaviours, she is entirely accountable for her actions and there is no excuse,  If the Magistrate and Court find her guilty and indeed deem she should be enslaved that is entirely in accordance without Lows and I uphold their decision.

[10:11] El (elphabala): The Carnival and inclusion of the '[Game of Favours' is a 10 year event and she is entirely accountable for her own actions. I have known of this young lady since her father became our Administrator but no one is beyond our Laws.

[10:11] El (elphabala): I stand by the decision of the Presiding Magistrate in this matter, Signed and dated and sealed."

[10:11] El (elphabala): The Ubar of this fair City

[10:11] El (elphabala) hand copies for the Magistrate and to the Defence

[10:13] El (elphabala): ((didnt realy hand them because of a request not to by the true Varn))

[10:14] El (elphabala): In accordance with the city laws of Varn we ask your Honour if this FW may attend in her former status ?

[10:16] Second Life: Elphabala gave you LETTER Ubarv1.

[10:21] Kati Evans: "Is that the end of your opening?" I inquired, my gaze lingering for a moment on the screen where the presentation had been displayed. I made a mental note: perhaps, in the future, it should explicitly state that such visual aids are for class purposes only, to avoid any misunderstanding or the need to pass anything.

[10:22] El (elphabala): yes

[10:23] El (elphabala): your Honour

[10:23] Kati Evans: Next

[10:23] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) gets up from her seat and lays down her scroll bag next to the chair. Carefully makes her way to the floor

[10:23] Art Chesnokov is online.

[10:24] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) looks around the room for Lady Chocolate, but does not know whom she is. Still she would proceed with her opening statement

[10:24] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides) is offline.

[10:24] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) Defense Statement: "Your Honor and All Free People and Slaves. We have here a case of an ILLEGAL FORCE COLLARING of Lady Chocolate in public. No doubt she was wearing a veil too. So yes, this is not only a case of an ILLEGAL FORCE COLLARING, but also of an ILLEGAL FACE STRIPPING, also an ILLEGAL CAPTURE, OF A FREE WOMAN by Marcus Kissimenus and his female accomplice of the same home stone. I don't view this as a case to be handled by a Merchant Magistrate until a ruling by a Civil Magistrate can be reached on the status of the force collared free woman as well as the potential 'face stripping.' She is not a slave according to what I know and it is Marcus whom was DEAD wrong for what horrible crimes he has committed. However as fate would have it, I am here as Defense Advocate and I am glad that this case was brought to my attention. I grow tired of free women immediately being collared by some eager horny free man .... or worse by some jealous envious free woman. It is quite irritating. Thus, it is why I

[10:24] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath):  am now a Merchant Magistrate to justly rule on cases involving certain 'so called' Merchant Law cases that involve the illegal collaring of free women and other things. This is one of those cases,"

[10:25] ﾚаяа (larabones) is online.

[10:25] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) -pauses-

[10:27] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)  "Though I am and Defense Advocate of it this time around, I shall continue. Lady Chocolate is not a slave and yet has been treated as one WITHOUT the due process of law. Chain of Command and the order of the law was completely ignored and people were very eager to go on a 'witch hunt,' to collar yet another free women to add with the already millions of female slaves that over populate the Gor planet. Enslaved women surprisingly overpopulate the entirety of Gor presently.... so I have heard."

[10:27] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) -pauses-

[10:28] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)     * "Well known on GOR; It is illegal for a person on their own to collar a Free Woman for "conduct indicating suitability for the collar. Free Women who may have violated this legal principle must be brought before a Magistrate or Judge for a legal determination as to whether there has been a violation sufficient to warrant a reduction to slavery. And that was not done at all. Lady Chocolate was immediately COLLARED! Marcus, you were too eager and should have allowed the law to handle things and not yourself. YOU are now the one on trial in my eyes on what you have done to another free person ILLEGALLY."

[10:28] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) -pauses-

[10:29] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)     * "Another well known law on Gor, face stripping a free woman, forcefully removing her veils against her will, is a serious crime. And I would add to that, force stripping her robes of concealment as well. Thank you and that is the end of my opening statement."

[10:29] Dawn Lane (dawnna.lane) is offline.

[10:31] El (elphabala) addresses the Magistrate, "Your honour there is a case here to be heard and it addresses the FW persistent and repeated behaviours of this Free Woman"

[10:32] El (elphabala): "anything in relation to the conduct of others is another matter entirely".

[10:32] Kati Evans: I looked back to the Prosecution. "Now, begin to call your witnesses and present what you know of this situation," I instructed, my voice clear and firm.

[10:32] El (elphabala): "we would concurr that the FW should be brought here as a FW to answer the question of her behaviour"

[10:33] El (elphabala): "May she be called?"

[10:33] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) OBJECTION  Your honor

[10:33] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "On grounds that as she had been illegal made a slave, that erases all her past alleged deeds as a free'

[10:34] Kati Evans: Hold a hand up and thinks about what was said.

[10:36] Kati Evans: I would like to hear what the woman has to say, she may be brought dressed.

[10:37] Kati Evans: Looks to the two to see if either has a problem with that and nods for her to be brought.

[10:38] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) would observe as Lady Chocolate enters the room. A soft smile did appear on her face to her standing and not kneeling

[10:38] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "thankyou your Honour"

[10:39] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) turns his face, he grinds his teeth with that menancing grin.

[10:40] Kati Evans: Nods to continue

[10:41] El (elphabala) coughs and takes a deep breath

[10:41] El (elphabala) addresses the FW "Please tell the court your name, your home stone and your occupation and how you know Sir Marcus Kissimenus"

[10:42] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): I am Lady Lucy Chocolate, Daughter to Administrator Chocolate

[10:42] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): I am a Citizen of Civitas Solarii Aeternum, Isles of Lar Torvis.Var

[10:43] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): He is of the Caste of Players and he had had an unfortunate incident

[10:44] El (elphabala): You are the Intended, there is a Free Companionship coming up?

[10:45] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): We are to companion in another week, and we are happy, and I have a dress and i am ready to be a companion, it is a necessity for me to progress in my chosen profession, along with two children, I am hoping for twins.

[10:47] El (elphabala) Holds up a diary

[10:49] Madeleine Brigantes (mallairian) is online.

[10:49] El (elphabala) turns the magistrate, your honour on the occasion of her being taken into custody we had a guard go to her parents home and with a an appropriate document of 'search and seize' her room was searched and her diary and a small linen bag were found.

[10:50] Kati Evans: Nods and signals to continue

[10:50] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "Yes it is my personal diary" - starts to quake a little

[10:50] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "but but....."

[10:51] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) frowns and sits silent and impatiently taps his foot

[10:51] El (elphabala): "Your Honour i have here the Lady's diary, it is a most interesting read but i have identified some of the more interesting pages which give us insight into the Lady which she is perhaps more reluctant to state. "

[10:51] El (elphabala): This is a page of her diary

[10:52] El (elphabala): dated ((31/05/25))

[10:52] El (elphabala): and in her own hand

[10:52] El (elphabala): We can see entries of indeed a FW looking forward to being FC'd she is focusing on the respectable and practical abilities of her life. Her work is not mentioned but all about her new life and hopes

[10:53] El (elphabala): snippets of  "i am so very happy"

"my friends of jealous

"looking forward to a new life and even being a mother"

Nothing unexpected there i am sure you would agree.

[10:53] Kati Evans: Nods

[10:53] El (elphabala): Lady Chocolate, what event took place on the 21st June this year? and did you attend?

[10:54] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): The Carnival of the Sun, I did not want to attend and yes i did unexpected join in with the festivities and "the Game of Favours" despite my initial doubts, i was persuaded it was legal to do so and it was fun.......it was legal!!

[10:54] El (elphabala) sighs: Your Honour If we look at 'parts' of the entry from the day after this Carnival in the diary we do see that Lady Chocolate did indeed have a very good time!

[10:56] El (elphabala): We know that the City of Varn suspended the usual laws to allow for this event defence, all legally done *nods* but we believe it has a bearing on her future behaviours your honour..

[10:56] El (elphabala) stands and reads .paraphrasing

[10:56] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) stares at her own words...

[10:57] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) never believng her own words would be used against her

[10:57] El (elphabala) stands and reads .paraphrasing

[10:57] El (elphabala): " I removed my veil, and mask, I let down my hair.  I got drunk ,I bared my shoulders and lifted my skirts, while i twirled (danced)and I kissed Sir Marcus! and she ends with "how can i explain the impact of this day?"

[10:57] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) looks through her scroll seeing that some of what Lady Chocolate has said does not add up to the document she was given

[10:57] El (elphabala) pauses to allow the court to think....... it is from this day that the Lady Lucy's behaviours take a shocking turn

[10:58] El (elphabala): All of which we maintain was legal

[10:58] El (elphabala): However, In my hand i have a report compiled by the Clerk of Varn S Hamilton (hands it to the Magistrate an the defence and she has put together a list of the numerous warnings you Lady Lucy Chocolate have been receiving since the Carnival and including he one that brought you here there are have been 7, including the shocking behaviours in Public of:

[10:59] El (elphabala): These are the catalogued reports from the magistrates which this FW has been warned concerning and also the final even

[11:00] Kati Evans: Hold hand up to pause the discussion

[11:01] El (elphabala): i have the documentation ...offers it to the Magistrate and the Defence

[11:02] Kati Evans: Continue

[11:02] El (elphabala): - and on the on the 3rd day of the 4th passing hand (6th week) in the 4th month 10,176 C.A. ((14th July 2025)) we see her behaviour overstepping the mark once more As we know there is a strong 'association with the the Larma fruit and the requesting of a collar. and some more intimate practices between a Master and his girl

[11:02] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): Marcus Kissimenus nods lightly a satisfied smirk on his utterly handsome face, in his personal opinion most of all.

[11:03] El (elphabala): Lady Chocolate, I will be blunt when you recently fed your intended Sir Marcus Kissamenus larma fruit while in public ...and I invite you to be honest with yourself and us (leans on the diary) Are you still wanting to be your Intended's FC? or do you seek a collar!

[11:03] Second Life: Elphabala gave you Warnings Report from City Clerk.

[11:03] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) frowns i do not seek a collar!

[11:03] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): my FC is a week away

[11:04] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): the Carnival is entirely legal

[11:08] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) gets up from the seat with a perplexed expression her face as she then makes her way to the floor and looks to Lady Chocolate for a while and then says.  "Tal to you Lady Chocolate? A moment ago, you said before this court that you are an Apprentice Physician... Is that truly correct? For on this document that I have about the incident.... You are actually a Baker...a Merchant. Well, the REAL Lady Chocolate is a Baker and NOT of the Physician's caste. For it was inside Lady Chocolate's very own Bakery that the infamous Marcus forced collar her and stripped her of her dignity before any prying eyes."

[11:08] Kati Evans: Yes you may later

[11:13] Avery (freyadragonborn) is offline.

[11:13] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "tal Lady, I am both the owner of the bakery, but i no longer bake there but my father as insisted i learn a more high caste position, i think he wanted me out of the reaches of caste of gamers" *looks ar Sir Marcus sorrowfully*

[11:14] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): Marcus Kissimenus sits, not even seeing sorrow but only lost profit and advantage, but he does know she may feel something.

[11:14] Ayira Nayo (ayiranayo) is offline.

[11:16] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) slowly nods hearing her words as she is glad that no double casting is involved. "I am glad to hear this news Lady Chocolate. Thank you for the explanation. Please know, I do not mean to seem harsh in my questioning, but my goal is to make sure whomever I am representing is completely honest....I shall continue..." she paused to look to her next question

I don't believe it. Are you truly Lady Chocolate or an impostor for there is NO free woman in their right mind would actually still try to companion a horrible man like that. Where is your dignity?"

[11:18] El (elphabala) frowns "your honour is that even a Question?"

[11:19] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) would laugh in agreement were it not him she spoke of, and his face frowns, and he remains silent for now.

[11:19] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "I shall rephrase"

[11:19] Kati Evans: Please do

[11:20] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Lady Chocolate, why are you still planning to companion this man whom has no honor and illegally forced collared enslaved a free woman of his own homestone? This is a very serious matter"

[11:23] Kati Evans: I have noticed that we have been at this over and hour... Let take a quick break

[11:24] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) nods to Kati, "Yes, Your Honor." nods to Lady CHocolate

[11:24] Kati Evans: We will start again at 11:30

[11:31] Kati Evans: "Everyone, let's continue," I announced, my voice clear and even, ready to guide the proceedings forward once more.

[11:31] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) smiled to Lady Chocolate then asked, "Lady Chocolate, are you able to tell the name of the woman whom helped to aide Marcus in your disrobment and veil stripping? If she is in this court, would you be so gracious to point her out to us so that we may know her face?"

[11:33] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) looks around for her former friend who is not in the court, "it is my friend Lady Louise"

[11:34] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "i have not seen her since that day"

[11:37] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)  "The document of a timeline provided by Lady Ei, indicates all the way up to the last incident where Lady Chocolate had been a free woman, and perhaps had been given warning allegedly of certain behaviors. However, that fateful day of Lady Chocolate's Forced Collaring, stripped her of her freedom. She was not being held as a prisoner. In the eyes of most, she had been paraded through the city as a slave now. Thus, it meant that, although it was Illegal Collaring, it had stripped her of any previous deeds or any type of things afforded only to free people. As it is well known on Gor, once a person is enslaved, they no longer can face any type of charges brought up. Truly.... in this particular case, Lady Chocolate still would not be liable for any warnings.... Might I add, that City Clerks are not Magistrates and have no legality to issue warning, only a Magistrate can. " -pauses-

[11:38] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Charges brought up about their past.... it gets erased"

[11:39] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) -paused-

[11:39] El (elphabala) nods "your Honour the city clerks merely collated them from the central list of warnings given between two magistrates for the purpose of this trial"

[11:40] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) listened with respect to Lady Ei, but would continue after the judge speaks.

[11:41] Kati Evans: I will want to see that listing again.

[11:41] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Your Honor, may I continue?"

[11:41] Vulcan Arian (lordmarshall) is online.

[11:41] Kati Evans: Yes go on now

[11:42] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Thank you"

[11:42] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) lifted a hand and pointed it directly to Marcus, "Marcus's accomplice, the woman that was instructed to take Lady Chocolate to the second floor to disrobe her, i also ask for her to be charged with a crime of CAPTURE and disrobing a free woman against Lady Chocolate's will. And who in the god's name would actually do what some man, whom is not even a Magistrate, tells them to do to another free person? So yes, the other woman involved in this egregious humiliation of Lady Chocolate is indeed an accomplice and should be charged. Holding Lady Chocolate against her will on the second floor was an Abduction and or Capture by someone of the same homestone and that too is also ILLEGAL."

[11:42] Second Life: Elphabala gave you Incident Report 1407.

[11:43] Second Life: Elphabala gave you Warnings Report from City Clerk.

[11:43] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) -pauses-

[11:44] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)    * "As it is well known on Gor. The institution of the CAPTURE of women is honored by most cities, provided the women captured belong to an enemy. ENEMY of the city; which could be a different city in which Lady Chocolate's city might be at war with. The subject of "capture rights" pertains to all forms of property, including slaves. Active possession is regarded as crucial by the law. Thus, theft and capture will confer certain rights over the property. Keep in mind CAPTURE of a free person is not to be done by someone of Lady Chocolate's Homestone, but by an Enemy to the Homestone."

[11:45] Kati Evans: Looks at the papers I was handed

[11:46] Art Chesnokov is offline.

[11:46] Kati Evans: Change the screen to the incident report 1407

[11:47] Kati Evans: Continue

[11:48] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "All those involved in this harsh crime against Lady Chocolate, MISSED something very important in all of this. And what did they miss you might be asking. Simple really. The initial accusations of Lady Chocolate and her former companion's alleged affectionate behavior apparently was witnessed by many.... However, where is the Magistrate's ruling on such behavior prior to the force collaring incident? Not Warnings, but actual rulings. " She holds out her hands. "I want to see that Magistrate ruling against this woman right now! Put the documentation in my hand signed and sealed by that Magistrate regarding her alleged behavior. For if you do not have it, and I am speaking in general... If you do not have that signed documented ruling and sealed by Magistrate, then guess what... All of those accusations against Lady Chocolate are mere.... mindless gossip fueled by jealous and envious free women and or free men, whom wish to either be Lady Chocolate or to be Lady Chocolate's man. Plus, as I said before,

[11:48] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath):  her being enslaved wiped any misdeeds off of Lady Chocolates records. She was made a slave, though illegally, she was still made a slave after all the documents we have seen issued in this court today. Do we all understand this...? I am wondering for, we all know that enslavement erases free people that they may have done prior to that enslaved correct?"  She looks around to be sure everyone is on the same page.

[11:49] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "Prior to Force Collaring, Lady Chocolate was not placed under arrest nor put in jail."

[11:49] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): "your honour may I call the Second Witness ((Quickly)) he wishes to make a statement"

[11:50] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) looked to Ai Kiki, "You have a witness, but you are.... on trial..." looks confused

[11:51] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): I mean the other witness Sir Marcus wishes to make a statement ((before we run out of time))

[11:51] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) he keeps signalling me

[11:52] El (elphabala) looks at her

[11:52] Kati Evans: Yes we should hear what he has to say.

[11:52] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) tosses her hands up as this becae confusing, then goes to sit

[11:52] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) "I was still talking, but..... well"

[11:52] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath) sighs and sits

[11:54] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): ((I am not in a hurry, not at all, go at the right pace here please))

[11:55] Kati Evans: ((We might be about to lose the change to hear what he has to say because of first life  requiring him, if that is the case I would like to quick hear what he has to say.)

[11:55] El (elphabala): Sir Marcus can you take the stand please

[11:56] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) nods to the man who she was to Free Companion

[11:57] Selia (violet325) is online.

[11:57] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) stands and hummphs "Your Honor, I have to speak up here, this is an excellent example of how things should go. I applaud the Ubar and his wise ways,. and I also applaud the Captain of the guard here, for seeing what surely looked like me, taking advantage of this dear woman. However. I would like to add here" does not even wait, his way is always his way first. I know what happened and I know why, the Lady was a mark, a plot of mine to collar her and make a nice turn. But as I got to know her, it changed somehow. and then I knew she was not just that. so, I did encourage her, and I did invite her to the festival, and I hoped she would fall into her natural womaness. and then I realized, I could still make a killing here, I would collar her, and that way show the woman what it meant to me, to be my FC by showing her how to be my slave.  I wanted to humble her to her knees nude before me and the free, so she would never judge kajirae again. I wanted her to kneel and call me my Master, so I hatched the best

[11:57] Vαяη (varndavar.magic):  plan yet with her I would do that, easily I knew, our courtship was grand and very open and public, and then I did nor force her to go, I invited her and she said yes, so there, we laughed, and danced, and she is really very naugty in all the right ways, so it happened. Now, I ask you, if that game of favors is meant to let us be openly candid, collect as many ribbons as possible ,then why have it at all. I was not in any wrong to take this woman as my slave, and then free her in plenty of time for our camionship and be the hero to all, and collect the winnings and praise, and have her, now not in a steel collar, but of one of silk, tied around her neck and a woman now that would never be jealous or envious of my slave girls. She knowing she is one of them, but has a collar of silk around her heart, and not that cold smooth turian collar of steel, and louise was in on my plan for silver behind closded doors

[12:04] El (elphabala): "Your honour i believe this man should be arrested for further questioning in relation to the accusation of the Defence and his Statement of collusion and seeking to profit from the enslavement of a Free woman,  after this shocking information we withdraw the prosecution"

[12:04] Bea Lael Gùshì 故事 (lifepath)  "I had not finished what I was saying as I had been interrupted by Lady Chocolate before I could finish.... I am starting to feel like no one is listening to what I am saying, nor my Defense statements made "

[12:06] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) hears that and knows he listened to each and evey word of all of it, but did speak his mind, "I am finished your Honor" and he sits down casually.

[12:06] El (elphabala) reaches out to the Defence..."you were right Lady all along"

[12:07] Kati Evans: Was this to be two hours?  I am allowed three on my calendar for this

[12:11] El (elphabala): ((I think we are done))

[12:11] Kati Evans: Good,  we have lost a keep person in  this, but I think we can go from here.

[12:12] Kati Evans: It is not uncommon for court not to go the way you  want it to

[12:12] Kati Evans: Fact that is more the norm of things

[12:12] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) is offline.

[12:12] El (elphabala) listens as this is a learning case

[12:12] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): ((now if my statement ruined the mock trial I withdraw it entirely))\

[12:12] Kati Evans: you all are way more cooperative than some of the cases I have been on

[12:13] Kati Evans: To be honest I was pretty sure which way I would go prior to your statement based on the evidence,

[12:13] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): ((it was not part of the planed trial, it was me flowing along))

[12:14] Kati Evans: Let me talk about a few things first

[12:14] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) is offline.

[12:15] Kati Evans: I loved the board with the material on it.  Good job on that one

[12:15] Kati Evans: The material turned out not to be readable on my computer from my inventory

[12:16] Kati Evans: I could zoom in on the board

[12:16] Kati Evans: That one was new to me

[12:17] Zane Kanze is offline.

[12:17] Kati Evans: You were all well behaved, in most court hearing there is a lot more chatter

[12:17] Kati Evans: which makes it hard to follow along

[12:18] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) is online.

[12:18] Kati Evans: 2 - 3 hours is about all the time you have for a court case, most will not want to keep going

[12:19] Kati Evans: Giggles I did not know it would be my friend as Lady Chocolate - a fun surprise for me.

[12:19] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing): sorry about that lol

[12:20] Kati Evans: Any questions before I continue?

[12:20] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): my last word as Ubar here and owner of our faclilites. I only met you once Kati, and as I remember, you were brought here with out knowing why. I thought we were getting along all three or so of us there in the bakery. I then saw you just tp off, not even walking out my gate. I thought it odd so I did send you a missive, which you did not receive, or chose to ignore. As now you pronounce my or the characters guilt, I would ask you, what is the reason for that other nights insult? and that was not in mock RP?

[12:21] El (elphabala): Lady Kati would it be the case due to the statement of the FM Marcus Lady Bea would have indeed won as i resigned the case because of the "scoundrel?"

[12:21] El (elphabala): *winks at Varn*

[12:22] Kati Evans: I did not mean to insult you Sir and never saw any message you might have sent follow my departure.

[12:22] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): good, that is what I assumed and wanted to hear.

[12:23] Kati Evans: I personally enjoyed my visit with you and was hoping to talk with you again some time.

[12:23] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): excellent then. you know where I ended up in prison, usually mining our marble

[12:23]  Nakajima Takahashi (anvarra.alecto) is online.

[12:24] Ai Kiki Kira (elphaba.jinxing) looks at Varn, points at Lady Kati, "Nice girl!!!"

[12:26] Kati Evans: Right now I can only think of one or two reasons I would do that - I have had some bad personal news recently it might have been that day, the other being something real that needed to happen, and honestly I don't recall which,

[12:26] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): either way, all water under the bridge of missunderstanding, and please, proceed

[12:27] Kati Evans: all I can say is I am sorry for any offense I unintentionally gave you that day.  It waas never what I wanted Sir.

[12:27] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): so I get the girl, or do I get an axe?" chuckles, maybe everyone knows but I am just a warrior at heart.

[12:28] Kati Evans: Any one want to know what I would do with the court case?

[12:28] El (elphabala): yes please

[12:29] one (pleasure.demonista) keeps quiet even after hearing all that transpired and only shifts slightly on her knee's taking in all that was said.  Turning to give a small smile to her owner before lowering her head once again.

[12:32] Firefly Doobie (firefly.doobie) is offline.

[12:32] Kati Evans: I think Lady Chocolate in this case was not treated fairly as they were both of the same city.

[12:33] Kati Evans: Confining her to a room and getting the magistrate to come would have been beeter.

[12:35] Kati Evans: To right it at this point I would reinstate her as a free woman and have returned to her what could be returned.  If she was branned or something paper would be given to her.  I would want him arrested for unfair treatement and that would be another trail.

[12:36] Vαяη (varndavar.magic) pats his one's head softly "at least you can come sneak me gruel girl?

[12:36] Kati Evans: Any questions or if not about this... any other questions?

[12:37] one (pleasure.demonista) nodded to him with a pouty face on for him as he said about bringing him gruel.

[12:37] Tyan Cabot (tyancabot) rises   "Thank you all for the fantastic effort today.   All  I can say is, ' I am seriously looking  forward to the next one.  Safe Paths everyone"

[12:41] Vαяη (varndavar.magic): I am going to stand, stretch, and stride. This was fun and educational" lightly tugs that soft ramberry blond hair he owns for her to follow
