OOC: Thanks. It helps to read the first page again, doesn't it? durr.

"The charges don't work just in proving one person was abused. Just because Namine had one charge added of some of the charges there each doesn't mean there aren't 'multiple counts' so each 'kid' has to testify that was part of it and dealt with her. The other charges will also probably be expressed but the Defense doesn't want to use Namine to go at them or not. This is probably a good thing though since they were trying to charge Namine with the conspiracy in the first place. The other kids and DiZ and King Mickey can't be charged the same way." Riku sipped his soda and waited. He did hope things would go more smoothly now and all but something told him that there were angles to look at that he wasn't picking up yet. He would keep mindful and watch each thing to try to keep up.

Sora of course would watch too, but some things were harder for him to focus on. He was not one who really cared for all of this stuff other than the fact it could be exciting. He pondered if in the future he would have to go through these sorts of things often and if it was part of being a Keyblader or not. He realy needed to focus but was probably a contender for ADD at times. He tended to miss the obvious things other than how people felt. He was usually pretty good at that sort of thing. "Do you think the Organization has changed at all?"

OOC: Who's running DiZ any way? I would if no one wanted to since I seem to have other prosecution peoples and I think I could run him fairly if no one else is. He is a rather difficult character to run just as some 'npc' because he would know the whole details probably.

Harvey was beginning to wonder if Pikachu was on their side lol. At any rate, he shrugged. "If that is your thought, I suppose go for it. However, normally I'd say to go with the kids first so that each count can be placed or not and use DiZ and King Mickey as witnesses afterwards to explain information that happened that the kids may not themselves know in closing to support the charges. Larxene's and each Organization members' case is not going to just have 1 charge of assault, abuse and all that. There will be probably more and then we negotiate down how many charges stick. So DiZ and King Mickey I think should be reserved for after the kids. Axel is someone also I think should wait till after the kids due to his position of being in the Organization and having information in a way that again, the kids would not. Are you seeing my angle here? It's going to be Axel, DiZ and King Mickey that probably get their cases mostly challenged because of the fact they knew more that was going on and it can back the kids or get some charges alleviated off Larxene and each other member there."

As much as I am for distinctive groups having colors this doesn't seem really that great to do in this case. There are a lot of AMV makers but it's not really doing anything of work for the site such as what admins, coders and mods do. If we did this then people would want colors for other things too that individualize them and though I do love to see the amazing work some of you guys do, because I know I don't have the time and am not that good, I think it would be not quite right to assign a color to it. There already is, as someone mentioned, a competition for the top 5 spots weekly so that is also an attention and I hope it's something worthy enough.

OOC: I assumed Roxas is with Sora unless told otherwise. Sora basically knows Roxas's part in things in brief and it wasn't that much to begin with at this time so doesn't really hold relevant as to what Sora couldn't say.

Harvey Birdman gave a nod at the Judge's verdict. He then looked at Pika Power. "Who do you want to call to the stand now?" He decided to let Pika do it in order to keep the Pokemon busy so no more bouts of stray bolts went out or fights over Skittles. They needed to focus and get serious here now. The heat was on and it was far better to try at least to be professional.

Sora was glad Namine was now free of the stand. He waved to her and let out a sigh of relief. At least the judge was making sense of this catastrophe that had transpired. "Welcome back, Namine" he whispered pleasantly. "Good job holding your cool up there."

Repliku was resigned now just watching quietly and thinking about the things that had all happened. He was curious what the new direction would be with new people now called forth. This was all pretty tense and since each Org member was going to be tried and charged individually and called forth as well as those from each circumstance, he knew this was going to take a while. Why weren't there any concession stands around again?

Riku gave a nod to the Judge respectfully and then looked at Namine as she walked over and plopped down next to Kairi. "Glad you survived. You'll probably be going up again though soon enough. Larxene probably won't get as maximum in charges as Marluxia which then it's going to be more of a fight." Riku was always the mental thinker. He also sometimes was the doomsayer. Poor Namine.

I don't know. I think that Sora is young and the forms were to represent what he could grow into. I don't think he's more powerful than Terra and I doubt he would be even if he had not lost his Heart. He's a teenager so he has some growing to do still and I think he and Riku both can surpass Terra but right now, I couldn't say so.

Sora held Kairi's hand watching curiously. This was all pretty tense. He pondered how many people were going to be witnesses that instead turned to being on trial instead. It could happen to anyone which made even wanting to be a witness questionable. This court case was exciting in a way, but also draining. He wished they'd let poor Namine off the stand already. She was taking matters into her own hands since the Defense was pretty well ignoring the offense and the judge was waiting on evidence that didn't exist.

Sora tried now through his memories he had just gotten that would be forfeit when this was over to consider the Defense's side. However, he remembered all too well about Larxene and Marluxia and how they had been. He wondered if Larxene would not have been a better person had she not gone along with what Marluxia wanted. To Sora, the Organization at the time had confused him and he was losing his memories so dramatically that he'd forgotten things even down a couple floors as he went on. Vexen was very confusing and just had wanted to test him. Larxene was baffling but at the same time she made it clear to him she was 'the bad guy' as she had said. Marluxia...he just seemed to be a really rotten guy. Even if the Org had their reasons for things, Marlulxia had just seemed bent on using Sora for power. Sora could empathize with a few members of the Org, but others were harder to comprehend. He supposed that was because they were missing their Hearts.

He let out a small sigh as he thought about Larxene though, because it was she that was being debated now. He didn't remember much at all that was nice about her. He did ponder still though that was this because of Marluxia, who had been crueler than she was? He wanted to be fair. After all, he didn't have to fight the Organization anymore as this was a court case. However, he began to wonder with all of Namine's troubles up there if he really felt comfortable himself going up there after. There were 12 members on trial since Roxas couldn't really be since he was a part of Sora. There were some things Sora had figured out from Roxas's side but not enough that he could really see them trying to put Roxas in this. He patted Kairi's hand. "It'll all work out. You'll see." He hoped she'd feel better. They just had to let Namine off the stand sometime soon here. He'd try to remain optimistic even if he was getting confused at the accusations flying about.

OOC: Really, this is enough. This is holding everything up and there's nothing at all to validate Namine could just up and leave when she felt like it. *yyawwwwn* Can we please move on already? I wouldn't make a comment but others are and it's just become a redundant circle. Proving Namine did anything other than seek comfort because she was stuck at the castle is lame. It is clearly even said in notes about her in the journal, in the novel, and in the games. Refuting this is just making things bleah.



Harvey shook his head. "You are going to drive this into the ground and yet have NO proof at all that the witness could leave of her own volition. You keep saying it repeatedly but it is nothing but speculation on your part. Stop holding up the court with an assumption. It is clear that Marluxia was in charge of her and the castle and that should end this. If she really could leave, why would she have brought Sora to a distant castle out in the middle of nowhere instead of LEAVING the castle because she was CLEARLY unhappy? She had no scheme other than what I mentioned prior of luring him there to give her some company of someone she knew even if she did not remember. That is ALL. Stop trying the witness! This is an outright deception."

"Please, for the last time your Honor, dismiss this and don't ask for further proof because he has none. This has gone on long enough."

Harvey shook his head. "There is no proof to your claims and I would appreciate if this was stricken from the records to press on. You are making assumptions and nothing more with no proof whatsoever."

He turned to the judge. "Your honor, please can we move on as this is pertaining to Larxene's charges and Namine is hardly the only defendant here. This is wasting time and he is making the court more into a circus with trying to dazzle up words that are nothing but his personal opinions. He can in no way prove she was not a prisoner of Marluxia and it is already proven that Marluxia was both in charge of the Castle and her. We can therefore move past this so he can discontinue trying to remove charges of child abuse and assault on Namine as he has nothing to refute it at all. This dark portal theory does not hold up in any court of law."

OOC: Ok, well that answers the Zexion question, lol.

At first, I thought you were referring to the Gummi Bears cartoon that was a Disney cartoon back in the 80s and they had this stuff called 'gummi juice' which I think is why there are gummi blocks in KH.

Now seeing it's the candy...at least they'd be delicious.

OOC: I agree. There's no way to prove this and hopefully we can move this on to something else. Although I did have fun arguing it out. Court battle drama amuses me for some reason. BTW no one answered me if I could have Zexion or not. *shakes a fist*

Birdman shook his head. "Again, if you have -no proof- to substantiate your claims you must drop them. Saying something 'matter-a-factedly is not proof. Just because DiZ could Dark Portal in the Castle does not mean a thing since he was an -outside force- and he was infiltrating the Castle Oblivion. He was NEVER held as a prisoner of the Organization during the time in question. Namine WAS by the account of Larxene, Marluxia and Vexen. Marluxia's statement is CLEAR that he had control over the Castle Oblivion AND the girl, Namine. If you have nothing to refute this I hereby stand that you must drop your claim that Namine was dubious in nature moreso than being a girl that was trapped, lonely and reached out on a thread to Sora, because she is Kairi's Nobody that had a connection to him. Proof, or you must back off this claim now. There is absolutely not a shred of evidence other than what you attempt to say as 'fact' which is just words with no bearing at all. Whether you have 'faith' to believe what you do, with no evidence, that is all it is and will not ever hold up in a court of law."

He sipped at the coffee before him. "In other words, prove that Namine herself had the power to dark portal IN the Castle Oblivion while being under the control of Marluxia, and also prove why she would WANT to under the threat of being hunted down by not just Marluxia, but Xemnas, who passed the control of the Castle Oblivion to Marluxia AND the girl. This is the -law-. Not some fabricated self-belief. You cannot impose that for evidence. Without proof, nothing you say in this matter can be substantiated."

Again, the lawyer thought to use personal belief to push an issue that was clearly a deception. This was growing old and only weakening the Organization's positions as far as Harvey was concerned. He began to wonder if this man kept tossing out such incredulous statements if any of the Org at all would be able to walk out with only minor charges.

"In reality here, I am trying to assist that this trial gains a fairness and balance. Tossing off the blame of a coup onto a girl that did not even ponder it is weakening the case of Marluxia and Larxene and we refuse to toss out this information. There are others in the group such as Lexaeus, Zexion and Vexen that have charges but these are not quite so severe as that of Marluxia. You are trying to pass the buck off onto a girl with a 14 year old mentality that could not possibly have fathomed up this scheme and also playing light on the fact she WAS a prisoner. Whether she is a Nobody or not, whether she could sympathize with some of the members of the Org and the fact she wanted to also be 'real' is not a matter here. Of course she wanted what others did and it makes her loosely assigned to the group of the Organization. They ALL had a desire to be whole. She does not even once state the Nobodies do not have a reason for what they had done, though she also does not justify it. She was also NEVER a member of the Organization, but they held her because her POWERS were useful to them. Surely if this girl could have escaped and yet was held not even as a member of the Organization, why couldn't Zexion, Lexaeus and Vexen leave when Marluxia was first known to be a betrayer instead of bothering to face him?"

"Now here's my point to you, sir. If the three with standings of being amongst the FIRST of the Organization could not leave due to fear of failure in the eyes of Xemnas, how is a little girl who is NOT a member of the Organization but is in fact just used for her abilities instead...she was never seen as a member and instead considered a weak witch with a link to Sora...how is this girl who was placed in the care of Marluxia going to just waltz out when she has LESS RIGHTS and privileges than the 3 members of the Org who were trapped with him? Those three have their own charges to contend with but you cannot toss out Marluxia's responsibility in all of this, nor the fact he held dominion over them all based on Xemnas's decision. Xemnas may or may not have known of Marluxia's own plans which would harm so many including his own people. I will wait to hear from Xemnas on this himself. However, there is NO WAY you can just cancel out Larxene's and ESPECIALLY not Marluxia's agendas from the court because it is this coup in the first place that not only endangered Sora and Riku and Namine, but also the fact it caused 3 Org members to die because they were not AS trapped as Namine and yet were nonetheless stuck because of fear of what Xemnas may do. The Nobodies DO have self-preservation, despite the lack of a Heart. Why did NO ONE leave until after Marluxia himself was contended with? Dark Portals or not, NONE of the Organization members departed. It is for this reason that I revoke your statements utterly as you have -no proof- whatsoever that Namine, who was held in a lesser position than all of the people there, could just take off at leisure while other Organization members would suffer and die and did not flee themselves. Drop this lie. It is an assumption and holding up the true justice of this case. We cannot dismiss allegations based on personal belief, regardless of how you twist things."

Harvey was growing rather miffed that this man continued to try to do this. When was the judge going to call for order and dismiss this notion? He hoped soon because removing Marluxia and Larxene from charges with nothing was simply wrong.

Sora munched on some M&Ms and washed them down with soda. After a bit, he realized once again that you should not do this unless you want to become a bit disruptive to those around you. "BUUUURRRRRRP* Sora blinked and then smiled a bit, waving like everything was okay despite the fact that the belch had escaped him before he could tone it down. "Sorry about that!"

Riku face-palmed. He was an expert at doing the act. He then smirked and just looked back to the judge to not draw -too- much attention to it. He was eagerly awaiting a lawyer's point that could not possibly be proven unless the judge was gullible. Charging a girl like Namine with the whole 'betrayal of the Org' deal and that she could leave at any time was laughable to Riku. Maybe the man had 'something' but Riku could not even imagine what. He had seemed pretty solid that just having the ability to Dark Portal at all was good enough as evidence and that was his case to charge Namine, not Marluxia, with the whole conspiracy, if Riku had heard it right. This case was becoming more and more interesting by the moment.

Repliku watched the new judge with some intrigue. He had a top hat. Repliku wanted a top hat now. He didn't know what for, but it looked cool.

Harvey stood waiting. He was sure the Judge would read over the past events from the recorder and so did not proceed to mirror Pika's or his own former challenge to the Defense pertaining to Namine. He was preparing a rebuttal should the Defense choose to continue with charging Namine for the coup and the ability to leave the premises at any time so she was a 'self inflicted' victim. He did however lean over to Pika. "The defense had a good point about you shooting bolts and stuff. Please try to not do so against people as it makes us look unprofessional and that we may be threatening the defense or offense witnesses, alright?" What was sad was that Harvey said this like he was used to having to.

Great observation. Because of some scenes like the truck and the the tower, I've kind of thought of the World That Never Was as a sort of remainder of worlds that are left from what the Heartless did after taking the Heart of the world. Since Nobodies are the remainder of people after the Heartless, I figured that TWTNW was never existent itself, but components of it such as a building here or there came from other worlds, which would then make sense why it was called that. I do think the truck there in the corner was probably in a scene as you described and that building may have been a sort of last stand on some world. I'm not positive on my thought but I -think- it's correct and anyone I've said it to thinks it makes sense too.

Wikipedia didn't lie. It was some other Wiki that it was found that on. That's why I posted the wikipedia article.

Harvey Birdman had never been charged with really harassing the other side in such a manner but then again he never paired up with a pokemon before to go to trial. Maybe he should have thought better when spoken to of this case before just doing his trademark yell "I'llllllllllllllllll take the case!!" Janexna did have a point though that people were just doing things that seemed odd and if this was the practice of some, it was not HIS way so he would put a stop to it or his name wasn't Harvey Birdman! ...Now, what was he supposed to be doing? Ah yes, a new judge had come upon the scene and the case was back in full swing. Harvey straightened out his tie once again and took a drink of coffee.

Riku went back to his seat after running out to the hall to get a replacement soda and was prepared. He looked over at Sora. "You might want to get your friends to stop the playing around."

Sora blinked, kind of oblivious and then went back to his seat. "Donald, Goofy, Stitch, you guys be good now. We need to pay attention and no more getting into trouble!" He tried to say this sternly as he could muster but...it was Sora. He wasn't good at putting his foot down until he was really angry.

Resolved to the fact that there were no secret prizes underneath the chairs, Repliku sighed and sat down ready for the court case to begin anew. He pondered if that old guy was going to pull through after his accident but the new guy seemed to know his stuff. He really wanted this case over so he could go outside and do something like 'play'. He had never really done that before and now, being outside of the castle, alive and healthy, he had his chance. If things didn't go well for him or the Org...he didn't care if they'd just let him go out and do something fun. Why was he always around these sorts of scenes that were so grim?

Someone obviously messed that up and Namine was not even there or part of that. Axel convinced Riku Replica to do the act of killing Zexion which it seemed he basically used Darkness to kill him and absorbed power from him. There was never a scene intended with Namine in it as far as I know.

This is the article in Wikipedia and it is correct so I'm not sure where the wrong article was.

Riku gave a nod. "I think the point is that there's no way he can try to prove that Namine could just dark portal out of there. I was trapped there too as was Sora and none of the Organization members left because they were ordered stuck there as was she. He's just trying to pass the buck of blame around and that won't work. I don't know much about Larxene but it's very clear what Marluxia's plan was and she did aid him in it and shares the blame to some degree. I don't think she should have the book thrown at her but some charges clearly are hers in this too. Saying Namine could dark portal and so this whole mastermind scheme is hers is ridiculous. I'm not sure why no one just comes out and says "well if she could leave, why didn't Marluxia and Larxene go off on their own instead of trying to take over the Org where -most- members obviously would not want them to be in charge?'. Obviously, Marluxia feared if the Superior wasn't taken out then he couldn't just go traipsing off either. This -is- why he wanted Sora."

Riku wiped at his shirt a bit more. "That lawyer really does dig but he's going to have to get it that at least some of those charges are going to stick and he should be trying to get them 'lessened' instead of eliminated. Also, he doesn't know if some of the Org members may agree they acted overly hostile or aggressive at points which would probably help their cases too. Instead he's out to prove others are guilty and that's the wrong angle to take."

Sora reached in his pocket and took out some M&Ms and walked over to where Riku, Namine and Pika were. "Is Namine going to be convicted of what she couldn't possibly have been done? This is really kind of troublesome." He held out his hand offering M&Ms in the bag to whoever wanted some.
