PLOT ROLL CALL

If you have

a character who witnessed an attack, or were themselves attacked by Rose during her temporary Loss
a character who is supernatural in origin (vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, etc.) to act as judge/jury for the case
a character who likes rubbernecking courtroom drama

then this plot is for you!

Cole's calling for a trial for Rose's Loss-induced attacks on the populace. This will probably take place in a few weeks depending on when it's convenient for Rose's mun and everyone else involved, (I'll update this!) If you sign up in this post assume Cole sent your character a judicial summons, which will mention specifically their expected role depending on what it is you want your character to be. (Though not obviously if they're on the defense team or witnesses for the defense).

We'll need 12 jury members and 1 judge, however many witnesses were present and want to testify (either for the defense or the prosecution), and if anyone wants to volunteer to be Rose's defense lawyer / team, etc.

Despite that Cole can be a bastard, he'll be playing it by the book and pushing for a verdict of aggravated assault against Rose. Rose's mun has said that she wants Rose to be acquitted and that's how the trial will go, but even if you think your character would vote guilty on the jury feel free to volunteer them, I'm told that Paradisa has no legal system (but that Iron Man's mun Paulie is working on setting one up?), so in lieu of anything else I'm assuming the jury can go as low as 9-3 not-guilty without a mistrial.

Also if I make any mistakes or if any of this is untrue for any reason, please tell me. I'm not a lawyer myself, I only play one ~~on tv.~~

I LOVE this idea SO MUCH!

If none of the lawyer characters step up, Eleven would totally be all over defending her... even though he was nommed himself.

Otherwise, he'd go, but be a very VERY obnoxiously stubborn witness... Who would be trying to prove the case FROM THE WITNESS STAND. Darien was in the attack post, too. I gave permission for him to be nommed, but it never played out, I'd have to clarify with Rose!Mun on whether or not it happened.

I would offer any of the rest of mine for jurors... but they're all age 16 or under, so that probably wouldn't fly...

I love this. I was thinking about Wes being very similar, but he's been through so much plotwise lately, so I will leave it in your capable hands and just have Wes as another 'yes, I was nommed but it's just the castle' witnesses.

Yeah, Eleven had a rough month last month between Rose and Omega, but he'd be all over this despite all that. But, hey, CR between Wes and the Doctor! Bonus!

I'll tentatively put you in as counsel for the defense then, if that's what you want! If he ends up a witness he'll be one for the defense and when Cole cross-examines he'll try to trap Eleven into saying something that benefits the case he's making against Rose using the loss as an excuse to blow off some vampiric steam. He could alternately try to make Eleven look unreliable or insane for supporting his attacker - Cole plays hardball like that in court. and he'll probably get rabbit-punched by Jamie for daring to suggest such slander, too.

Even if he's a defense lawyer, Eleven will try to call himself to the stand. I love the idea of Eleven and Cole going back and forth at the stand lol. Of course, Eleven making up absurd objections is going to be fun, too :D

Man, I so wish I had some John Cage vids to show you, because this reminds me of him SO much. He was a great lawyer, but very very silly. It's too bad Larry ~~doesn't remember~~ hasn't lived through arguing against him because he'd be all.... "you reminds me of someone..."

lol This is going to be hysterical.

B( man if Eleven objects while cross-examining Jamie he's going to get an earful about it like "HEY! Don't you object at me, Doctor!"

Awww Jamie. Eleven's hero. He'll try to be nice :D

ME TOO, THIS!! HAHAHAH!!

The only thing that will suck will be the likelyhood of a lack of proper icons once the time comes.

LMAO YES!! (There must be a proper Monty Python thing for this situation. But then again, I am a fan...)

Hee yay Monty Python. No, my issue actually is that my paid account status runs out in a few days and I are broke. I'm dreading to see what icons I end up with.

WAT DAT IZ BUMMER!!! :-( Been there, both in broke state and account status running out. Man, LJ like to charge for the icons... I got my account for six months, two at the same time actually, and bought tokens first; that gave me a $5 discount. Have you bought a lot of extra icon space?

Yeah... For most of my guys, actually.

Psst, The Doctor can totally be Rose's lawyer if he wants. I was thinking of putting up a public post with her requesting one. She's not exactly up to date on court procedures and defense versus prosecution techniques

He'd totally offer to be her lawyer :D

Alright, I'll get up a thread tomorrow sometime and he can volunteer. It'll be a bit awkward at first - afterall she did bite him.
