[ooc; Alright, people. This post will take place as a recorded log post. Meaning, we'll still post as though they are journal comments, but they'll be happening in real-time. For an example of how that works, check this out. All actions have been placed in ooc brackets while the speech continues. Of course those were just us being random, but

Thank you, Your Honor. It feels very strange calling him that.Reeve Tuesti has pleaded guilty before a pre-trial hearing in front of witnesses, to being responsible of heading a secret organization intent on disrupting Vertere's peace and bringing harm to not only the people of Vertere, but to Adam Kadmon himself

[kira_yagami]

Whether or whether not you like it, I'm heading the Supreme Court. This play will go on as I see fit.

Defendant Reeve Tuesti is allowed to be brought in. Continue with the prosecution.

[holyknightky]

Thank you, Your Honor.

Reeve Tuesti, you may adress the court once you have been sworn in.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

[littleblackcait]

... I do so swear.

Sit down, Cait... thank you, Mr. Kiske... Your Honor. Precious little 'honor' there, but....

... Mr. Kiske claims that I have pled guilty to a group of my peers in a pre-trial hearing. I cannot completely deny this, as I will not deny having breached the gates of the Underworld. I can't even remember the pre-trial clearly enough to contradict it.... However, I willingly committed this offense to uncover greater sacriledges that I d- that I knew to be happening under the cover of night.

I have dedicated my life, before my arrival here in Vertere and since, to defending those in need. To protecting those who cannot protect themselves. To ensuring innocents are never hurt by the power struggles and issues of the world around them. To think that I- I would never intentionally harm another person, no matter my own views. I have no desire for revolt, nor for power, but to ensure the well-being of those I care for. To do anything such as what- what happened that night- would be impossible.

I didn't want to bring this

[ooc; Vincent's staying in the audience with Rufus, Cid, Sephiroth and whoever else is there for the front. He'll mostly just adress them until he's called apon.]

Exhibit A.. hm. This is strangely more formal than I imagined.

[rocket_man26]

[ooc: Cid's at Vincent's side, looking none-too impressed with this load of crap called a courtroom.]

Great, I feel like I'm sit'n in onna those crappy TV People's Court. This should be a hoot..

[zaxissupersexy]

[ooc: Zack's fidgeting next to Sephiroth. He's pretty sure by the looks of things this court is already throwing the scales of justice out of balance with Raito being the judge D:]

If Mr. Reeve keeps stammerin like that, he'll be six-feet-under before we ever geta chance to pull him out, ya know?

[rocket_man26]

[ooc: Cid sneers at Zack like an Ornery Bull.]

You can jes shut the hell up! I don't wanna here a peep outta ya this entire trial till it's over! 'Specially if yer gonna talk like that and jinx the whole damn courtroom! Shit..

Raziel; Observing Police Force

[lordmitsuhide]

Looks like it's begun.

Officer Raziel, is everyone present in the courtroom of well-intent?

Mitsuhide; Observing Police Force

[besteamaker]

Yes...

Their thoughts are mixed but no, not everyone has well intents. The emotions are complex too. His honor is confident of his cards...

We must stay alert.

Raziel; Observing Police Force

[lordmitsuhide]

[ooc; Leaning over to whisper in Raziel's ear]

Officer Kiske wasn't happy that he was chosen to play the prosecution. This person understands why.. He seems to be rather assured, this person has noticed as well.

It's almost as if the outcome is decided, whether or whether not one likes it.

Mitsuhide; Observing Police Force

[besteamaker]

[ooc; Raziel clenches his fists but keeps his voice down so only Mitsuhide could hear him]

This isn't justice! It reminds me our old system in Heaven.

I know. But it's still unfair and I won't stand up this much longer.

[amethystblade]

[ooc; Observing quietly with the other police force members, talking to himself softly]

Still, something about all of this.. this whole trial just does not feel right to me. ..and where could she be? She said she would be here.. not mention the fact Touma should be here as well.

[ooc; And then looks around carefully before looking back to the trial at hand.]

Seiji; Observing Police Force

[lordmitsuhide]

[ooc; Glancing over at Seiji, keeping his hand on Raziel's shoulder but managing to whisper to him from were they're standing behind the audience]

Officer..? What's the matter?

Mitsuhide; Observing Police Force

[amethystblade]

[ooc; Looking to Mitsuhide, he shook his head once with his mouth in a small frown.]

Someone I know said she would be here but is not. Reeve-san is a dear friend of hers and yet she's nowhere to be seen.

[red_trenchcoat]

[ooc; Observing as well.]

Yeah, this whole situation seems sort of far-fetched...

[seemymask]

[ooc; Further back in the room, smiling to himself and dressed as Crane, not Scarecrow.]

My my.. it's been quite some time since I was last in a court room. What a change it is to be watching instead of being on the stands..

[f_orgiven]

[ooc; *throws him in? apologises if she shouldn't* Lazlo is quietly watching, not really understanding. Looks as Crane.]

I'm sorry, but... what has happened here?

[seemymask]

[ooc; *totally approves of the throwing in of the character! :D ♥ XD* Not even looking to Lazlo as he grin widens.]

This man here is on trial for disobeying the laws of the city. And for stealing a cookie from the cookie jar.

[f_orgiven]

[ooc; *is approved, yay~* ♥ Thinking of what would happen if certain people he know were here... Cookie from cookie jars, indeed. His voice merely sounds curious and neutral as he speaks:]

And... it is not imprisonment, but a... trial of this size?
