[Admin Notes: Rounds will move fluidly and you will not be docked for missing rounds. We will try to move rounds once at least every 24 hours. Bios are not necessary, and within the courthouse prohibited powers and technology are rendered void and useless.] Today was the day of the big court case. You made your way down to the courthouse, not quite sure what to expect. After all, you were given limited information on court case NO-07260547EST. In fact, you were even unsure of what the defendant was accused of. You were all met by a black haired man as you filtered into the courthouse. Those here for jury duty were taken to another identical black haired man, likewise the legal teams were met by an equally identically black haired man, and the news teams were met by a third similar looking black haired man but this one's nose was a little off. Or maybe his eyebrows were different. You couldn't quite tell. But you seemed to notice a theme of these black haired men as you were led into the courtroom, filled with more of them. The judge was a black haired man, the defendant was a black haired man, the bailiff was a panda, and even the prosecutor was a black haired man. "Order! Order!" The Nagi that sat in the judge's seat banged his gavel and gave a sigh. "Nagi Ostani, you stand on trial today in Nagi Court with Nagi Court Case NO-07260547EST for crimes against alternate Nagis. How do you plead?" |

".... That I firmly believe none of us are being paid enough for this?"
A moment of pondering.
"Also that I have no idea who any of you are, why the hell I am here, or why you dragged so many random people I DO kinda know here. And again, that we are not being paid enough."
Another moment of pondering, tapping finger to chin.
"Also not guilty by virtue of having no idea what the hell you're talking about, if you must insist. Can I leave now? Cause I'm pretty sure we all have better things to do. That pay more. That we also might give more of a damn about."

"Ugh, jury duty?" Chris groaned and tossed the paperwork to the side, "I didn't even know that was a thing anymore!" He rubs his temples and reaches for his drink, squinting at the documents as he downed what was left in the glass. Looking over the paper, it didn't really give much information but... Wasn't that today's date?
Shucks.
Chris quickly grabbed his violet jacket and made for the front door, making sure he didn't leave the stove on before leaving for the Andromeda Courtroom. He wasn't sure of the jury duty rules around here but the Concord seemed like a bunch of uptight assholes, so he'd have to follow along for now. Unfortunately for him, he would assuredly be late, "Yeesh, I hope I don't lose any good boy points for this."

"And so I walked up to him and I said real sternly, "You're fired." But then he looked at me and said "You can't fire me. I'm your boss. You're fired." And being the independent, powerful man that I am, I-... what, no. This was before I met you, Aiko. Obviously. I still have my police job. This was when I worked in a banana factory. No, I- Please. Can you let me finish my story? Anyway, I looked him dead in the eye and I said... "Yeah, that's fair. Here's my badge.""
Rory was scheduled to be the security on duty, but he found the whole ordeal positively boring and was about 99% certain nothing would go wrong. And so he sat in the corner on the phone with his girlfriend just talking... rather noisily. |

Faythe sat in and watched. This was apparently some big deal and she was not one to make many plans with anyone so she supposed this was better than doing nothing.
Frankly she was bored out of her mind and she kind of started counting the faces that were all… similar. Just to see how many there actually were.

The Nagis in the coutroom let out a unanimous groan as the defendant @@@nagi@@@ began his plea. The judge Nagi pinched his forehead and slumped down in his chair a little as defendant Nagi went on. Meanwhile, in the courthouse lobby... “Where is that last juror? I’m not paid enough to stand here waiting all day. Doesn’t he know people have better things to do that pay more?” The Nagi that had been assigned to greet and guide the jurors tapped his foot as he looked at his watch once more. Once Chris Rodriguez arrived at the courthouse, he was met with a deep sigh. “Finally. Come along now.” Chris was quickly ushered into the courtroom and seated with the rest of the jurors as the defendant Nagi finished plea. Before leaving, the receptionist Nagi leaned over and whispered to Chris and faythe . ”Looks like he lucked out. I hear you didn’t miss much.” Receptionist Nagi left the courtroom chuckling to himself, the doors seeming to close on their own behind him... As Nagi finished speaking, the judge Nagi stirred awake. “Hmm... What? Oh, oh yes. Ahem. Prosecution your opening statement?”“Besides that he should be found guilty of boring us to death,” the prosecution Nagi paused for a moment as the courtroom Nagi’s all chuckled, “Your honor we’d like to allow Prosecutor Blayden Ack to make our opening statements.” |

As Rory Clarke spoke, he could feel an intense glare being cast his direction. The rabbitfolk man stood up, not breaking his intense eye contact with Rory. In fact he didn't even turn his head towards the judge as he made his opening statement. "I hate cops."Blayden Ack spat on the ground before returning to his seat. The Judge and other courtroom Nagi's nodding along in agreement. |

Vivi was ushered into the courtroom along with the others and took her seat. She furrowed her brow as she looked between all the different black haired men (plus the panda?) involved in the case. Their words barely registered in her brain. This had to be the worst possible way to spend her time. She was a busy woman. Vivi clicked her sharp nails impatiently along the edge of her chair, a scowl plastered to her face. |

"So... To reiterate, I have no idea who any of you are or why I am here. Can I leave now?"
At this point Nagi was just waiting for when this circus would be over and he could go back to his life. Of course, if that didn't happen QUICKLY, he may have to take drastic measures...

Faythe looked at the receptionist Nagi an muttered “23” under her breath. That was the number of Nagi she was up to at this point. It continues but she has a feeling the bunny mate might have a high chance at being one of them. She thought about it too long and now she has lost count.
She went into a pack sling over her chest from underneath her grey poncho an pulled out a couple of berries she snacked on one and offered some to Chris and Vivi.
They were green in color and had thin ribs by natures design. A berry indigenous to a distant planet where it rains more than it does not and they are full of juice by the natural hydrated environment. Sweet sand tart.

The moment Chris arrived he flew out of the tram like a bat out of hell, trying his best to avoid ramming into people. He eventually made his way to the courtroom doors, letting out a big sigh and opening them to see..... "Alright, what the fuck is going on in here?" He stared in disbelief at all the clones of the same person, and leaning back to check the hallway he just ran through there were only like fifty more. After a few moments he clears his throat and walks over to the jury stand, sitting behind Vivi and Faythe, "Hey uh.... I'm not one for these type of events, you two have any idea what's going on?"
Chris took the berry from Faythe when he was offered it, hoping to god it was edible for humans. The last time he ate alien berries he blacked out for a week.

"And for me to reiterate, sit yo' Nagi ass down. Order in my court."The judge Nagi slammed his gavel down repeatedly, making more of a racket than Nagi's initial interjection. The deep rhythmic pulses of the gavel seemed resounded throughout the courtroom for a moment. For faythe , Chris Rodriguez and Blayden Ack , the pulse from the gavel resounded within them, leaving an almost echo like vibration within their chest cavities. For the briefest of moments, the three of them could have sworn they were in dark tubes, liquid surrounding them. But just as the silhouette of a figure came into view, they were once more within the courthouse. "Now, will the prosecution please explain to the court why we are here today? Jesus, I'm not paid enough for this."Judge Nagi sighed, slouching down in his seat as he began rubbing his forehead. It appeared whatever had happened, the courtroom Nagis, defendant Nagi Ostini , Rory Clarke , and Vivi Eris had not been phased.

Blayden's eyes went wide for a moment before he blinked. It seemed to have only been a second, but that moment felt like it had gone on for eternity. Was he the only one that saw that? Blayden's eyes narrowed as he looked around the courtroom through the corner of his eyes, straightening out his papers. He wanted to see if anyone else seemed off as well, as if they had seen something they shouldn't have. Very curious indeed. But what could it mean.
A repressed memory? Although if anyone else saw it I suppose it must have been a group delusion. Myesss that makes the most sense. Probably brought on by this absolute farce of a trial. What am I even prosecuting him for?
Blayden looked down at his papers for a moment as he stood before the judge and the court.
"Myesssss your honor. To the fine people of the court, I humbly and regrettably address you today. For not only shall we prove today that defendant Nagi Ostini, Instagram handle TanisDeezNuts69_BlazeItxx, with malice and forethought committed crimes against infinite Nagi's, but that he took pleasure and gratification from his perverse, heinous, despicable actions."

“OBJECTION!” She stood from the juror booth and shouted at the top of her voice. “ that user name is an absolute crime but not a crime committed by this Nagi… maybe that one over there, but not this one. Also it has no relevance to this court! AND EVEN MORE ALSO, Nobody uses Instagram anymore it’s all tic-tac now!” The incorrect name for tic-toc wasn’t intentional but Faythe was actually not strong with the social media powers, she was told this by a kid.
She did see the split second break in illusion. She started to think something was amiss with the automatic doors when no powers were used and these buildings are too old fashioned. No it was more of a symbol of their presence. She wondered how she might guide or disrupt this illusion. She came, not, as a juror but she was among them now and this shouting action was not what the jury should do.

Nagi... was thankful SOMEONE recognized he had more taste then that tacky and horrendously immature joke. For now he was carefully taking steps within himself to, if necessary, create a rather extreme method for ending this farce early. Gods bless the fact that everything was in a digital age... But still.
"Instagram? I don't use Instagram. Ever. I have better sources of information then that."
