Verdict 003 [Video/Action in Violet]

[judge_clueless]

[In the midst of all this snow... well, there's an old man running around Violet, looking quite flustered. It seems that he's been out for a while, since his nose and cheeks are bright red.] Ratticus! Ratticus! Where on Earth have you gone

It seems to be in your ... beard, sir.

[video]

[judge_clueless]

My... beard? Are you quite certain? Why, he couldn't possibly fit!

[He fails to notice the long purple tail that's now sticking out the side.]

Re: [video]

[blacklodged]

I can see him quite clearly. Perhaps you should stick your hand in and feel for yourself?

[Cooper's a bit bewildered, because really.]

[video]

[judge_clueless]

Well, if you say so...

[He reaches in- and Ratticus dashes out the other side, surprising the Judge so much that he basically just falls over with a cry of 'GREAT SCOTT!!'. The Pokegear goes flying and lands in a snowdrift.]

[Have a confused guy holding a Magikarp staaaring at you.]

...Your Rattata is... er... in your beard.

[action]

[judge_clueless]

My... my beard? Are you certain that you're not "joshing" me? I've left my glasses on my head before, but a rat?

[action]

[lightningninja]

No, I just saw him. I guess your beard is warm... it would probably make a good hiding place for him.

[Like under Jack's arm or in his lap, which is where Karp likes to be. Said Pokemon wiggles around happily in Jack's arms. "Karp karp karp~!"]

[action]

[judge_clueless]

Well, I'll have to- [And lo and behold, Ratticus pops out again.] - my goodness! You were right!

[... and the Rattata immediately leaps at Karp because he likes fish for dinner.] -- Ratticus!

[video] Judgeeee *A*

[...That outfit.]

....Are you a... judge, sir?

[video] \o/

[judge_clueless]

[Wha- who is this child and why does he look so familiar] Why- yes, I am! How did you guess!?

[video] /cheers for more brain breaking IT HAS BEEN SO LONG

[miniworth]

My father was an attorney. I've only seen a judge once, but I've seen them in newspapers and pictures before, so I recognized your outfit.

[video] oh i know I-I'M SORRY ;o;

[judge_clueless]

Really? My word, it's not often that children your age have an interest in law!

[video]

[bottletothehead]

It appears that the rodent in question is hiding closer than you'd expect, Your Honor. In plain sight, even.

[video]

[judge_clueless]

In plain sight? You don't mean like one of those optical illusions, do you?

[video]

[bottletothehead]

I'd say that he's right under your nose.

Literally. He seems to be taking cover from the cold inside your beard.

[video]

[judge_clueless]

Whatever might you be- oh! My word!!

[The Judge reaches into his beard, rummages around for a moment, and then plucks out a Rattata.] How on Earth did he get in here!?

[VIDEO] oh god I am loling

[foolishwren]

[Heather opens her mouth to give advice-- and then just... stops. ... Just. Stops.]

U-uhm....

[BARELY-DISGUISED MUFFLED LAUGHTER.]

[Video] how can you laugh at such a lost-looking face ;o;

[judge_clueless]

Yes? What- what's wrong? This is no laughing matter! Why, Ratticus could be ANYwhere by now!

[As if on cue, the little rat pokes his twitching nose out from the Judge's beard again. He doesn't notice.]

[Video] heather can laugh at anything because she is mean

[foolishwren]

I-- it's-- check your beard, dude.

[The reappearance of Ratticus's face just sends Heather into another fit of giggles.]

[Video]

[judge_clueless]

My... beard? Are you pulling my leg? As glorious as my beard is, there's no way he could fit in there!
