~~*Organzation XIII goes to court*~~

OOC: Um...so are we waiting for Erkz to accept the charges or is Xelax or Janexna going to start their Cross-Examination? :huh:

 

OOC: Fine... I'll cross examine.... Xelax style...

Xelax shuffled some papers, as he had been taking notes on Sora's testimony... but got lost along the way. He threw the papers in the trash can next to him.

After clearing his throat he spoke, "Ok, Sora... I'll read you the charges..."

"Thats quite a list, could you do me a favor and concisely point out where each of these crimes took place, and how they happened."

OOC: Ok... how are you guys feeling about the RP? If it could be ended quicker in character would you opt to do it?

I was starting to get fatigued... I think reading 6 pages of the prosecution argueing with the judge did it.

 

OOC: For some reason, Pika_Power's method of insistence kinda reminded me of your style, ICSP. Never budging from your stance no matter what or something like that. :p I say we do what we did, but the judge cuts us off after a certain number of points have been made. If it goes too long, he cuts the arguments off and makes his own decision regardless unless there's a NEW piece of evidence that hadn't been brought up. Because I don't think any of us want to go through another round of "ADD OR DROP" for six pages (2 if you're reading 40 pages per post). It's annoying and wastes all of our time. And NO APPEALS until AFTER Xemnas. Otherwise, our main characters might just get fed up with the whole ordeal and leave the RP.

 

OOC: Really Pika did the same thing you did, ICSP. You both debate very similarly and have a great stubborn streak. =:) I can deal with it even if I will start getting annoyed, but yeah, it's why we need ICly to keep things progressing and the Judge to say 'cut ur crap' when we do get too far out of line. I'm content with the rp, and it is fun too, but I think we are all kind of 'pushing' at times for ooc things. That's where it gets ugly. At least I can actually keep up with this RP. Yes, people say 6 pages of arguing...but at least it happened over a couple/few days.

"Isn't that the job of you guys to do? I don't make the charges and all that fancy stuff. I just tell what happened..."

Sora sighed and scratched his head and then gave this determined face. "I'll try. I don't understand it all though so don't get mad at me if I screw up, please."
Attempted murder of Sora.
"For this one, I would guess it's when he tried to kill me after the fact that he knew he wasn't going to win but was in denial of it, or something."

Aggravated assault ,Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
"Uh..the fact he used a fake to take us on and didn't have to is one thing. I dunno though. It was Larxene who attacked us outright. Marluxia was a coward and so we had to go through a fake he planted and then deal with him after. You'd have to ask the lawyers cuz I dunno."

Assault/threats of Namine
"He held Namine, threatened her that she would never leave the Castle Oblivion if she didn't do what she was supposed to, and also tried to force her to erase my Heart of the memories."

Kidnapping/Hostage - Namine
"He had kidnapped Namine who was with Riku Replica when we went on to go stop him and used her as a way of trying to make Axel not go after him. He also did it to me too, holding her in front of him. It took Repliku going in through a surprise portal to take him off guard and free Namine."

Coercion of Namine
"He threatened her that she could never leave and told her that if she wanted company to keep doing what she was. He was the mastermind behind it all and Larxene helped but she was second fiddle to him."

Child abuse Namine, Sora, Repliku, everyone under 18 who Sora knows.
"Umm..considering he kept us there, was messing with our minds and taking advantage of me and others, also putting me in a hostile position in the first place to do his bidding...I guess that counts."

Imprisoning Namine - Under orders of Xemnas
"He held Namine against her will there and let her have no companionship. Of course, he was placed under orders to keep watch of her but he didn't have to make her stuck like that so miserable."

Coercion of Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
Sora yawned a bit. It was hard to focus on all these big terms and all. "He is the one who ordered Namine to mess with us and directly involved himself in confusing us from the beginning at the Castle Oblivion, taking my friends and trying to make like Riku and the King were there. He's the one who set the whole thing up to have our minds screwed up and to use me."

Conspiracy to murder Xemnas and other top members of the Organization
"Uhh...that was his plan from the beginning by Larxene's way she said it. They had it all planned and Axel ruined it. So, yeah, that would be the time."

Murder of Vexen by Order/Proxy
"He obviously ordered Axel to do the murder and he was killed outside the image of the Twilight Town mansion."

Conspiracy to Control Sora mentally
"As said, he had that planned obviously from the beginning when he saw it as an advantage to take out Xemnas. He was doing his plans all along through while I was there or having others do it for him."

Mental Damage, Namine, Everyone Sora knows.
"His plan caused Namine a lot of pain and she is still not proud of what she did. He also affected the memories of anyone I knew on those worlds like Radiant Gardens when I went a year later. She had to work hard to fix things as did Riku. Kairi didn't even remember me. It was some interesting explaining to do because I didn't get why at first."

Imprisoning Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
"From the moment we were at the Castle Oblivion, the doors shut and we could not leave. We were also encouraged to go on because King Mickey and Riku were there and we were worried about them so we couldn't just leave if we didn't know how they were either. As we went on through, things became so confusing it was all we could do to keep focused was try to remember why we were even there in the first place."

Defacement of private property Jiminy's diary, Sora's charm.
"Well, we checked the Journal about a quarter of our way in I think and it was totally empty. All the things we did that Jiminy had logged were gone. Even after I got my memories back and awoke, the only thing in the Journal was 'thank Namine' which is because she helped fix things and we'd forget all about it because of my choice. As for the charm...it was a gift from Kairi but Larxene changed it and it made me start forgetting Kairi more, and Marluxia was behind it so that as long as I thought Namine was the girl I knew in the past, I'd be more easy to control."

Sealing of Donald and Goofy in cards.
"He did this right in front of us early on. He said I had to find the cards as I said before."

Severe mental damage, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy, Repliku
"Well, this plan of his took a whole year to fix you know for all of us. Repliku was really hurt by it and died. He could have been a whole other type of person had Marluxia and Larxene not used him for this plan. The rest of us had to deal with a whole year of our lives gone and we had to recount our things that happened as we traveled when we woke up. Marluxia is a really bad person and he hid behind Namine and really all things considered, probably hid behind Larxene too if you think about it since she was more up front. He used people and intended to use me and it doesn't really feel good to know someone would just do something like that and give you no chance of choice at all."

Sora stopped himself before adding a few good comments about how much of a loser he really thought Marluxia was. Out of all of the Organization members, Marluxia was the one who really made him angry and he thought of the guy as nothing but a coward manipulator who also happened to be a megalomaniac. But it wasn't right to say that about someone so he bit down the anger he had. Maybe, after all, there was some good in the guy. Sora wasn't sure he could find it though.

"I don't get all this legal stuff so if the guys over there had their own reasons from what was said, ask them. I tried my best to help."

 

"..."

The judge turned to face the defense.

"You do realize that his testimony is pretty solid, and, if you fail to denounce any of them, all of the charges are going to stick, right?"

 

"But your honor... I see a flaw already." Xelax smirked...

"There is a contradiction already..." Xelax shook his head... "I'll give you a chance to ammend your testimony... before I ask the judge for a purgery charge.

"But doesn't that contradict the evidence I presented earlier?" Xelax once again pulled out Xemnas notarized document, dropping the charges against Marluxia and Larxene.

"Did Marluxia ever touch the charm or the journal?" Xelax almost wanted to chuckle at the idea that Sora called it a Diary... since whenever he though of a Diary, all he thought of was 13 year old girls writing the crushes they had in Jr. High School.

OOC: I didn't bother to refute everything... I will get back to that... after all the stupid stuff is dropped.

 

ooc: The thing is, I know I am right. It is just that other people don't realize it. I need to practice conveying a message. (although I did realize afterwards that arguing with the judge probably was not the smartest thing to do...)

"Correct. Also when he sent Larxane at you, and got Vexen to try to kill you."

"This Murluxia seems to like assaulting you. First off, he assaulted you with Riku Replica, he let Axel assault you, so aggravated assault by proxy, same with Larxane."

"Right again." For a human, this boy was not as empty headed as he let on.

"If not for your nice streak, you could manage as a lawyer."

"Exactly. The defense shrugged the coercion of Namine off Larxane, onto Murluxia, so they have condemned him."

"The main one here is the memory change. It is child abuse, because it falls into the category "metal damage" and was done to minors." Flicking through Pika_power's thoughts, he quickly added "Before we get into the same argument, you can be charged for child abuse and mental harm for the same crime.

"Correct. He was happy to do that. He gladly imprisoned her." Speaking only to Harvey, 150 asked, "Can they get him off the hook by saying that Xemnas killed traitor?"

"Again you are right. Using Namine as a lure to get you to go towards them was a ploy, and coercion.'

"I can see nothing wrong with Sora's explanation. Please continue"

150 continued looking for loopholes. If the psychic sealer on his forehead dropped off outside, he could gust his way to a window, go outside, then use psychic attacks from afar. Then Zack would come after him... Perhaps 150 could get a scrap of Zack's DNA. In that case, he could make his own Zack. He would have to dull its intelligence though. He didn't want an usurper on his hands.

OoC: Crud... Sorry. I was confirming what Sora said, then ICSP posted. I did not mean to interrupt.

 

"Your honor... I've been courteous when the prosecution had the floor... and now he's been interupting my testimony. Leading the witness."

OOC: And you are wrong... I bet I will have the last laugh when 358/2 Days comes out and Org XIII looks like saints on a mission from god.

 

OOC: ICSP, are you really sick? Anyway, as for the RP (is more like a private one, really), is more like a debate that appears in a thread about the Organization, only put in court, really. I'm indifferent either way *shrug*. But really, the stupid and senselss charges to add aren't really needed, I agree with ICSP on this one.

Moving on, though.

Janexna wished that Xelax just asked with what was it they needed, instead of making the kid go through all that since they knew what Marluxia was guilty of it those aspects, but I guess that's one fast way of passing the cross-examination. Maybe. Simply taking Sora's words, she took awhile, before beginning to speak, rummaging around some papers tiredly. She wasn't going to answer to him, as that would be dumb to do on a witness, so she just went with checking the charges. Going after Xelax, she gave him a look to say if she could have her turn, before saying, "I'd like to give my shot of events here, and I would ask the prosecution...to wait until we're done, because there is more of a reason to this, and since we cooperate with them and let them finish, it would only be respectful that they should do the same. Everything can be argued later, and you'll see why. All we need is patience for awhile."

--------------------​

* Attempted murder of Sora
"There was never any attempted murder of Sora, even in the last final battle, Marluxia never said he was to kill him, but rather, use his heart so he could be under his control, which would fall on the rest of the charges that were said. Even in the end, when he stated he'll scatter his heart into the empty winds, it was only indication that he was to be used in this particular matter especially as Naminé was still there, whether it was to weaken Sora so he would not complain, I do not know."

"There was no intention to kill Sora, as the prosecution placed it on Larxene as well, in which the judge condemned with a few double-meant words that could mean to go unconscious, having that the order was to do so, but this proves it was not the case." That was part of the main reason why she was upset on Larxene getting the "attempted murder", but as her trial was over "No, they got that wrong.

-----------------​

* Aggravated assault ,Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
"Obviously, there needs to be some explanation, because as far as I remember looking through everything, Marluxia never hit or assaulted Sora, or harmed him in any physical way whatsoever until battles themselves, and even then, by law in itself, he was engaged in mutually consensual behavior by Sora and Repliku, that should be taken into account if both parties are at fault. That would be considered a fight, not Aggravated Assault. This would also count for Naminé as she was never hit, and would do so for Donald and Goofy who were never touched as well. And....why the hell is Jiminy even in there? Did he somehow get knocked up in Sora's hood or something?"

She raised a questionable and almost unbelieving eyebrow, but let it rest.

OOC: I actually searched for the same behavior argument for Aggravated Assault xP. And that was only because I was trying to understand the charges more.

------------------​

* Threats of Namine
"I think we'll just leave that to threat, as there was never any assault," Janexna sighed.

-------------------​

* Imprisoning Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
"Question is, did they ever make a turn or tried to get out of Castle Oblivion in any time they were there? How was there to know it was really sealed or locked? Especially, after Goofy said this in proper quotation..."

"How's that for locked up? Is obvious to me they aren't helpless in the situation as some make it seen. Along with that, after Marluxia's death, Sora locked the door after he got out of the room where the battle took place. Now if the Keyblade can do that without a problem in the castle...I'll leave you to ponder that one, your Honor. Can't it also unlock?"

She once more gazed at the brown haired boy. "Now Sora, how do you explain being sealed in that matter?"

------------------------​

* Defacement of private property Jiminy's diary, Sora's charm.
"Very much an objection. This has nothing to do with Marluxia, your Honor, who perhaps did not even know of Jiminy Cricket's existence or was even aware that there was a journal Sora was keeping. Why would this go to Marluxia and is blame on him that it was stolen or erased, when there is no such word, or scene in the picture? Unless the prosecution can also provide PROOF of this, that Marluxia did in fact have something to do with the journal, I would think it would remain untouched on defacement. There's also a chance that it must've been the magic of Castle Oblivion that did this as well. As for the charm, there's also nothing to say that Marluxia had told her to switch it, again, provide proof. I'd say it was Naminé's special touch, as even Larxene did not know she could do that and seemed impressed, and if you need the scene, just ask. The defacement charge of private property is moot, really."

--------------​

* Sealing of Donald and Goofy in cards.
"If we recall the scene, the only real imprint Marluxia did was from Sora's memories as a sample when he passed through him, not Donald and Goofy, and turned it into a card. Which Marluxia said he did. So what did Sora exactly see him initiate on his friends, which he wasn't aware of until he was in Traverse Town, or rather, the illusion of it? While it can be claimed that Marluxia had the castle's power to do so, I do not think he could've done anymore of what he did in that precise moment, as proven with Jack Skellington and Ariel, which I'm sure it wasn't his doing. As neither Donald and Goofy, when Sora asked, he explained the laws, and he made Sora know how to get them back, which he did so. There's no liable prove to simply say that Donald and Goofy were Marluxia's actions or the castle's own. Make this decision on your own judge."

"If Marluxia did in fact turn them into cards by the time he passed through Sora, and Sora supposedly saw it, who's the guys? And under all this, Jiminy was not affected. If anything, this was more like guidance of what awaited him. And by learning, he got his friends back."

She turned to Sora. "I'm surprise you say you surely saw him initiate it so positively when you did not even notice until Jiminy pointed it out to you, or did not even understand it yourself."

--------------​

* Anything at all to do with Repliku.
"Kind of a reckless comment for Sora to make, since you weren't really behind the scenes, hmm? Again, another claim wrong, as it seems that the prosecution wants to stick many things to Marluxia that had nothing to do with the man himself. While I do understand what Marluxia had done in Castle Oblivion, since this is a fair trial, I suggest that no accusation of sorts be added. Those words do not prove anything except from the view of the witness. There's also no proof that Repliku was under his control. The only thing that would be considered fact as told by cut scenes and script, which you can even check yourself, your Honor, is that Marluxia was aware of Repliku's existence, which would understand why he knew who he was in the end, and had been informed of Vexen's devices and what he was trying to do. Otherwise, the rest is moot. Is safe to say Repliku was acting on its own, because by that point, he was rebelling. Why would he follow Marluxia all of a sudden? I don't even know why Repliku should even be under Marluxia, as they had nothing to do with each other until the end where he decided to help Sora and went against the man, and there was no real reaction or recognition from Repliku himself. Unless they can back this up, I say call it out."


---------


"Now that the petty things are over with," Janexna breathed, scratching her neck as she fought back a yawn, then heading to what she wanted to say next. "This mostly has to do with the severity of the mental charges, since this is suppose to be balanced, and I need to get this out."

"The others do not count considering Marluxia's goal was Sora, not Donad, Goofy, or Jiminy - who Marluxia didn't even know existed. How can you harm something or point out someone for evil deeds when you don't know they're there? Is the same with the rest. That was not Marluxia's intention, and this should be taken in. Naminé's power are not understood in its component, that even sometimes the girl doesn't understand it herself, and while it might have affected the rest, the fundamental carriage is not on Marluxia himself fully, not everything wrong that happens is his to blame. He was expecting Sora to simply remember Naminé in his memories, and that way, make him do anything to protect her, not target his friends, unless the prosecutor could give evidence breaking this point that the man says his friends were part of the mix. While he might not care for them, they were still not the center point. While he did order Naminé to alter his memories, the turn of events should not be completely held against him. That's the simple power of the side-affects of what was done, that was not in his power or was forced with, he perhaps did not even know the full strength on what Naminé possessed. All he was probably aware of was that Sora was progressing, she is able to control his memories, and it was not like he followed the boy into all the worlds he visited to know which people did he recognize. Think about it this way: if indeed everyone forgot, then why did Donald and Goofy remember him, since they weren't part of the main memory altering, and won't its effects be the same as the others of the worlds, if that was the case? Also, about Sora recovering for a year, there's also a clear chance that while Naminé was working on putting back his past memories, the work in rechaining them could have also caused for a temporary lapse of Sora in everyone's minds, and there's nothing to prove or disprove this either. If so then...bring it out. So with Marluxia dead by that time, it falls on a person who's long gone too? This is a example...are you reasoning where I'm going with this? Why I am saying this, is not to drop the charge suddenly or make him appear innocent, your Honor, is for you to see more of the greater picture that was involved when you think over the WHOLE situation. I would provide script and all, but this has to do for the whole two games, so the best thing is your thoughts. This is all, but what I ask of you. If you refuse, than let it be. This wasn't meant to be refuted by the prosecution, just for you to think on it on the minority or severity. Yes, we all understand and know that Marluxia is guilty of a lot of things, I just don't think is right that everything will fall on Marluxia when he was barely aware by a out of circumstance happening.''

Though she did guess Mewtwo would, because he also seems to have the need to counter everything when that one was a simple favor, and not even to him. Let's see if he was like that Pikachu. It was okay with her if it was not taken, and she won't answer to the reply that will come, which she predicted there will be. So let them waste their breath if they wanted to.

This one though, was allowed to be countered, yet it was mostly directed at Sora, and she opened her mouth again, wishing for some water. Where was that recess that they were suppose to get?

"Another thing to add for that wholeview, though is really apart, indeed, Marluxia did force Naminé to alter Sora's memories, we got through that. Is not the act of altering that affects Sora's confusion, because there wouldn't be much problem into getting him, is the events that happen around him, which Marluxia isn't responsible for some. First in case, is the beginning, where Sora doesn't know Castle Oblivion or its laws, until he learns them, but once he does, he proceeds without any more problems. This is where Marluxia's direct involvement with him ends. Then, of course, Repliku shows up, and Sora is only lost as to why his friend is acting that way. The way Repliku acts, is also not Marluxia's fault, that was something the other member decided to do on his own in decision. By then, though, Sora was confused on his friend's actions. With or without his real memories, do you think Sora would not have acted the same way if he saw 'Riku' this way? It wasn't until the very end where Sora smoothly went to all the worlds, that he was starting to find out the truth, by Larxene, Naminé, and even as it finished, Repliku. In other words, your Honor, you cannot blame this on simple mental damage, is basic human nature. Sora ask questions and needed to know things to understand them, without altering memories or not, again, this wouldn't have been any different. If you actually looked through the game script, your Honor, you will see that well. Let's say if you were in and you come upon this new, unheard of castle, wouldn't you like to know how it works? If you're looking for information on the girl you're looking for, wouldn't you want to ask? If someone is now telling you something about that the memories you had were fake and makes you understand what had happened, wouldn't you want to know what is going on? And you actually did get it. The case is not as severe as it looks like, and while we can blame Marluxia for forcing Naminé to change memories, which all she did is simply replace Kairi with herself with a few events, I don't think reacting to things in nature is to be considered damage. Whether Sora was or was not in that situation, there's no doubt the actions would've been somewhat the same. Being 'lost' or 'nothing making sense', is normal confusion, rather than mental damage. Is not like Sora didn't understand what was reality to what wasn't once he found out the truth, he was able to think coherently, think straight, take information, and able to function perfectly, unless of course, or do you believe he did not?"

She then stared at Sora, smiling slightly. "My question is, do you think you would've acted differently if it was Kairi there instead of Naminé? Even if your memories weren't mess with, by some of the events that revolved around and occurred to you by people, would you or would you not be confused and lost still the same way you did?"

OOC: And I am serious, try not to reply for now, you will get to it later *eyes Pika_Power at this*. So don't worry. Sora is fine to reply though...

 

OOC: Uh..holy crap guys... That's totally out of order and nutsos. This is wrong on so many levels but ah well.

Sora frowned and looked at Xelax. "How am I supposed to be 'Objected'?? And perjury? I didn't lie. You two are really something! You put me out here as the lawyer and then get mad when the Offense lawyer hops in after calling an Objection on me. Then you mock my intelligence. Okay..I'm not the smartest person out there but really, you two are just going too far. If anything I don't see why you two are even allowed to do this and try to set people up in this way. It's exactly what Marluxia did."

"He manipulated ALL of the events that happened there. Whether you want to believe it or not, everyone's, to include the Org's, Riku's, and me and my friends' actions to include Namine too, were all done because of either having to go along with what he wanted or to try to counter it in order to survive. Would you abandon friends to a possible fate of doom because of people like him acting all weird and threatening? Would you stand by and do nothing while he's causing a coup to unseat the leader of the Organization and kill off supporters of Xemnas? Larxene was a puppet he knew he could control and he LET her use people and abuse them and taunt at her desire. He did not care what was done as long as it worked out for his plans. How can you even say otherwise? Maybe you two should be put on the spot for your beliefs because you aren't even defending the Organization when you defend that guy and try to make the others and me all look stupid. Everyone was a tool to him. I'd have been a lifeless drone tool to him and that is the truth and if you think that doesn't leave you with some mental scarring, you have issues. Stop trying to pin the blame for Marluxia's actions on everyone else. He knew totally what was going on and if he didn't do it direct, it had his stamp of approval."

Sora looked at the Judge. "I didn't think in court these kinds of things happened where lawyers can pretty well insult, charge you with perjury and object to things with no grounds at all. I am a witness and was forced as it is to go through all these charges things and like I'm supposed to know it all. Then when I'm defended because of the obvious bullying the Offense gets objected too I am not a lawyer and I am not understanding all this extra stuff they are even saying half the time. Please if you could, make it so they aren't allowed to do this because all they are doing is trying to put any witness they can on trial instead of giving anyone an understanding of the person they are trying to protect. There is no way Marluxia is justified in what he did. I'm not going to be charged with 'you could have done something else' when me and my friends were stuck and made to do this on false hopes and meanwhile he was using me to try to kill off someone I didn't even know. I actually felt bad for Xemnas once I met him and saw he didn't even remember what it was like to have good positive feelings in his Heart. Marluxia is not a good man and what I said was true to what I know. I don't get why the Defense is out for everyone else's blood. Please, help here, your Honor, because this just isn't fair at all and while I can't stand Marluxia and think he's a coward that uses others to hide his own involvement and hides behind others, I think he should get a fair trial but it isn't going to happen when we are all who are here to be fair are put on trial with him. We didn't all come up with master schemes to harm people. He did."

"One last point since I was put here as a lawyer somehow. I think that Xemnas should NOT be able to decide the fate of Marluxia with charges dropped against crimes against the Organization on him because really, he wasn't even there and Marluxia isn't the same as Larxene. He pretty well is the reason that the other Organization members died there and I don't think he knew the whole story before. I think Xemnas should have a voice and how about asking the Organization members who died there what they think? They died because of his coup and Larxene was just his sidekick. She got off on writing some essay. He though condoned her acts and forced the whole situation on everyone there. If he gets off so light, I certainly will have no faith in the justice system. He may not have been the one to -do- all the crimes but he was behind them all practically, or motivated others to do them because they felt they had to. I hope you will see that, sir."

 

Kairi was fuming that the defense was picking on Sora this way. How dare they?! They were doing the exact same thing to him that they did to Namine. They were trying to pin everything on him! And what was worse, they were acting as if Sora himself was not only on trial, but as if he was the prosecutor as well! She looked over at Mr. Birdman. Why wasn't he objecting to the "Objection?" Wasn't this what they called badgering the witness?

She slumped in her chair. Was EVERY witness that wasn't a defendant going to be treated this way?

Zack wondered if he should jump in and put Xelax in a headlock. Or maybe that Mewtwo. Grab him by that muscle connected to his brain and fling him out the window. They both pissed him off just for trying to act all superior in the courtroom. Like they knew the big picture. But were they even fighting for the fate of the Organization? Or were they just fighting out their beliefs on one another?

He felt like just calling on his dark powers and just Mind Crushing the whole lot. Granted, the Pokemon would be harder to obliterate, but Dark still trumped Psychic overall. Slightly bored, he let out a big sigh and began to undress all the girls in the courtroom with his eyes. Especially that Janexna. She looked professional, but wondered how she would look in a bikini...

Namine was feeling slightly ticked about the whole thing. They were accusing Sora the same way they were accusing her. Would the judge actually let this go on AGAIN?! Her eyes just happened to look over at the bailiff. The way he was staring at her sent chills up her spine. What was that guy's problem?

 

OOC: I was hoping since the pokemon had the floor he would do it heh. If he doesn't I will when I get back from classes with Harvey. Though of course, the Judge could just see it and call it out himself too.

Riku scowled. This was utter bullcrap. There was no reason that each witness had to be made to feel like they were on trial or mocked like that. The Defense seemed more willing to make things up instead of actually talking to the witnesses. He rolled his eyes. Sora had taken enough and stood his ground. Now they had to wait to see what the Judge or anyone was going to do about it. "At this point, they don't need witnesses to -prove- the defense of their clients or anything. They can just say whatever they want to and make it sound good. Why are we even here? Seems that the Offense and Defense could fight this out and skew it how they want and no one even needs us." He was starting to get very annoyed.

 

OOC: My, isn't Sora the all knowing guru now, expressing opinion and sounding like he knew everything that went on in Castle Oblivion o.O. If there is no prove of claims, then is not true, which is something that's going to be discussed right now IC. We already know Marluxia won't get off easy by the crime he did in fact commit, so what the hell is the problem? I just don't understand. That's the thing of this RP. Is like this suddenly would somehow reach Marluxia in the depths of a game chip and his data, or would satisfy anyone into giving justice or something. Stop taking this crap seriously. Relax, I don't think what was done was that nutso (and this is because I think you got irritated on it). A RP, we play characters. Personally, no, I don't think Marluxia should be heavily blamed fully. Nobody EVER said that Marluxia is innocent and we're NOT passing blame on everyone but him, that's something you need to see. But do you seriously....the journal? D: You're actually blaming that on Marluxia and you call it right? Call that fair all you want, but it isn't. Since that's more on the prosecution, when Sora said about Repliku, I asked myself, "Since when?" The charm..."where?" If it doesn't agree it shouldn't be dubbed untrue right off.

Is not like I really care what happens in the end to the members people play. Do you? This is exactly the reason why this fits more of a thread than a RP. Clashing opinions and view of each situation on different people, instead of law. That last post was all your thoughts, Repliku, not Sora's :/, especially the whole coward label the whole time, which is something you've expressed of Marluxia before. I think we all somehow took turns at that particular, getting our opinion in the way.

We're not all professional lawyers or prosecution. So yeah...keep in mind this is not serious. I don't think there was a need to go on a speech.

Anyway, I don't know if that directly fits to me too, but I needed to get that out there since it seems to be ongoing in here, and for future purposes to be aware. In the events of this, the only questions I asked of Sora were:

The rest were merely answers to the charges at hand and why (going from what Sora said), unless some missed the black bolding. I don't know what went on with ICSP's post to gauge that reaction, since it doesn't look too horrible, he asked Sora a question once, then said that it contradicts on one reply. The only thing I could find wrong is the thought of perjury, and if Sora's words are not supported or are unfounded right then, than what else is it suppose to mean? The prosecution's job is to prove Sora's words, then whether is perjury or not will go from there. You can charge a witness with perjury.

 

OoC: Hey, twilight, can I respond to that oversized post yet? I have it typed out. Just give me the all clear and this can continue.

Roxas turned to Namine and asked, "What do you think Sora is going to get charged with? If he gets put into the realm of fanfiction, will I have to go too?"

 

OOC: I think we should wait, since I need ICSP to post something before you can answer since it goes with it.

 

OoC: As you wish.

Now, what has mewtwo done to annoy the bailiff. He has done everything as normal. He hasn't shouted any objections, nor anything else. Oh, and dark does not beat mewtwo, he has ice beam and brick break.

 

OOC: Meh. Don't mind Zack. He hates everybody (except the girls). ;) He's just one of those self-proclaimed "evil geniuses" that was forced into his position. He takes his job seriously, but doesn't actually like having to do it. And he has an issue with people (or creatures) with psychic abilities since he used to have the exact same powers (before they were taken away from him when he was defeated). Call it a jealousy tick. :p

 

ooc: I see. But is Namine still answering Roxas' questions?

 

OOC: Oops. Forgot about that. :xp:

BIC:

Naminé gave him a pitying look. "Sora is NOT going to be arrested. This trial's supposed to be about the Organization. Sora's trial has been over and done with in the "Was Sora justified?" debate that aired a month ago. And I wouldn't worry about being sent to the fanfiction realm." She rolled her eyes. "I'd worry more about how all of those yaoi fangirls keep thinking that we're not a couple." Naminé raised an eyebrow. "We ARE a couple, right?"

 

OOC: Ok... in Ace Attorney... you yell objection whenever there is a contradiction in the testimony with either the evidence, or within the testimony itself. Xelax found a contradiction within the testimony, on one hand he is claiming Marluxia is a coward who constantly ran. On the other hand he is claiming that Marluxia tried to kill him and assulted his friends. Now... since he did not answer, now watch this.

"Sora, you are lieing. In court that is called purgury. Let me point out your contradiction. You said Marluxia attacked you. You also said Marluxia tried to kill you." Xelax perched his hands on his hips, and smirked confidentally.

"On the other hand, you also said Marluxia used a fake to fight you while he left. This is a fact. Then the evidence shows what happens next... you followed him into the other room with the intent to kill him."

Xelax turned towards the prosecution. "Mr. Birdman, whats it called when someone is armed, and enters a room with the intent to kill someone? And if the person already in the room fights back what is it called?"

OOC: *TwilightNight* I have no idea what you are reffering to... oh wait... I got it...

Xelax cleared his thoat as he unfolded another piece of paper. "The defense has agreed to the following charges.

Attempted murder of Sora.
Aggravated assault ,Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
Assault/Threats of Namine
Kidnapping/Hostage - Namine
Coercion of Namine
Child abuse Namine Sora, Repliku, everyone under 18 who Sora knows.
Imprisoning Namine - Under orders of Xemnas
Coercion of Sora Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
Conspiracy to murder Xemnas and other top members of the Organization
Murder of Vexen by Order/Proxy
Conspiracy to Control Sora mentally
Mental Damage, Namine, Everyone Sora knows. (Mental damage to Sora)
Imprisoning Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy
Defacement of private property Jiminy's diary, Sora's charm.
Sealing of Donald and Goofy in cards.
Severe mental damage, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy, Repliku

In the event that the prosecution does not seek further damages, and a lenient punishment from the judge, I would like the plea to be accepted without further arguement.
