July 14, 9:45 AM
Current Events Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3

It has been a long time since you were last here. Business has been slow. It seems not many people have been in a need of a lawyer lately. Fortunately for you, you've landed yourself a case. Unfortunately for your client, it's a murder.

My name is Fedora Ceman. I'm an attorney. While I admittedly haven't gotten much work lately, I do have a few cases under my belt.

"Fedora! This is it! They're gonna give me the death penalty I just know it tbh!"

The voice belongs to your client. He's not taking things very well.

This is my client, Vegy. He happens to be an old friend of mine. I've gotten him off the hook once before, but it looks like he has a knack for getting himself into trouble.

"What, you don't trust me? I've saved your bacon before, remember?"

"That was before but dis is different! They have way too much evidence tbh!" Vegy yells.

He's right. The evidence is definitely stacked against him. Still, I have faith that's he innocent, and as long as that's true there's no way I can lose!

The guard then calls for you.

"Mr. Ceman? They're ready for you."

Time to go to work.

July 14, 10:00 AM
Current Events Court
Courtroom No. 3


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As6NRNCeMRI" data-time="


The gavel comes down.

"Court is now in session for the trial of Vegy," the judge declares.

"The defense is ready, Your Honor," you reply.

You look to the bench across from you. There you see him, the smug prosecutor you've done battle with before: Unfair Represent. He smirks.

"The prosecution is also ready."

"Very good. I must say, it's been a while since I last saw you, Mr. Ceman. It's good to have you back," the judge says.

"It's good to be back, Your Honor," you reply.

"Now, Prosecutor Unfair, your opening statement please," the judge says.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsT9LGG5CSs" data-time="


"Very well. The victim is one CJayC. He was once the admin of GameFAQs, but circumstances led him away from the position. The prosecution asserts that the victim had a prior relationship with the defendant due to this job. The victim was found dead in his home. He had met with the defendant a few hours prior. As the defendant was the last known person to make contact with the victim, he is clearly the prime suspect. As for the cause of death, the victim was struck once with a lamp. Death was instantaneous."

https://imgur.com/66Cu44U

That's a really generic looking lamp >_>

"Now, the prosecution calls the defendant to the stand."

Vegy takes the stand, clearly nervous.

"Defendant, your name and occupation please," Unfair demands.

"Um, my name is Vegy, resident shitposter on CE."

"Very good, now please give your account of what transpired to the court," Unfair says.

Witness Testimony: What Happened

It's true that I did meet with CJayC earlier that day.

But that doesn't mean I was planning to kill him!

It's not like we talked about anything important tbh.

He was found in his home, right?

I've never even been to that dingy apartment of his!


"Mr. Ceman, your cross-examination please."

What do I press?

A. Statement 1
B. Statement 2
C. Statement 3
D. Statement 4
E. Statement 5

Cross-Examination: What Happened

It's true that I did meet with CJayC earlier that day.

But that doesn't mean I was planning to kill him!

It's not like we talked about anything important tbh.

"HOLD IT! Well?"

"lol well what?"

"Well what did you talk about?!" you ask.

"Oh it was nothing major tbh. We just talked about da good old days. Ya know, back before it was gamefaqs.gamespot."

"Oh... right. So he didn't say anything about meeting anyone else?"

"Nope, but I don't know why dey are trying to pin dis on me!"

He was found in his home, right?

I've never even been to that dingy apartment of his!

"HOLD IT! You're sure you've never been to the victim's home?"

"I'm suuuurrrre! I've never been der!"

The judge brings down his gavel.

"I believe we've heard enough. Now, Mr. Ceman. Did you have any problem with the testimony just now?" the judge asks.

"Well, there was one thing. Vegy, you claim you've never been to the victim's home, yet you described it as dingy."

"What, is there something wrong with his choice of adjective?" Unfair scoffs.

"No, it's more the fact that he used an adjective at all. If he's never been to the victim's home, then he shouldn't be able to describe it, let alone call it dingy!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hx8WTHcie0" data-time="


"Why... you're right!" the judge exclaims.

"Vegy, if you've never been to his home then how are you able to describe it?" you ask.

"Well.... I... I didn't kill him! I swear!" Vegy yells.

How's that, Unfair? Looks like I've still got it!

However, Unfair is unphased. In fact, he looks amused.

"Bravo, Ceman. You've uncovered quite the contradiction," he says.

"This praise is so unlike you heh heh," you reply.

"I should be praising you, after all, you just helped my case tremendously."

"I.... what?"

He chuckles.

"Tell me Mr. Ceman. If the defendant did in fact visit the victim's home, then who is the prime suspect?"

"....................AAAGAGGHJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Now, to seal the deal I have prepared an eye witness who saw the whole thing," Unfair says.

What, an eye witness?! I didn't know there was a witness!

"By all means Mr. Unfair," the judge says.

Who is the witness?

A. Gilberto
B. Krystal
C. Goats
D. Error
E. Tadg

A young man takes the stand. He must be Unfair's witness.

"Your name and occupation, please," Unfair says.

The man looks around nervously, constantly looking over his shoulder. He seems a little on edge.

"Um, witness? Are you quite alright?" the judge asks.

"Where are they? I know they're watching!" the witness exclaims.

What is this guy talking about?

"Um, who exactly is watching?" you ask.

"The mods, man! They're out to get me! All of them! Error and his cronies must be around here somewhere!"

"Witness, your name and occupation," Unfair says again.

"I should never have agreed to come here. It's not safe! The mods will get me!"

Unfair slams his desk.

"NAME. OCCUPATION."

"What? Oh right. My name is Tadg. I'm just an innocent poster who is wrongfully hounded by the mods," the witness replies.

"You're modded by hounds, you say? That sounds quite dreadful!" the judge says.

I think you're misunderstanding him, Your Honor >_>

"Did you witness the crime in question, witness?" Unfair asks.

"I did. I saw it all," Tadg replies.

"Please testify to the court," the judge says.

Witness Testimony: What I Saw

Before I begin, is this courtroom secure?

They could be listening man. They're always listening.

They're always watching me no matter where I go.

Anyway, I saw that Vegy guy go into CJayC's apartment with him.

I live next door and was coming back from the store when I saw them.

And that's the truth. You hear me, Error?! You can't mod me for perjury!


"I'm not quite sure if I know who this Error fellow is. Anyway, your cross-examination please, Mr. Ceman."

Cross-Examination: What I Saw

Before I begin, is this courtroom secure?

They could be listening man. They're always listening.


"HOLD IT! Who is listening?"

"I already told you man! The mods! They've been unfairly targeting me for months now. Every topic I make, every discussion I try to have... they always shut me down!"

"Hmm... has it ever occurred to you that maybe you're just a shitposter?" you ask.

"OBJECTION! Mr. Ceman, I will not have you throwing such baseless allegations at my witness," Unfair says.

You're at a loss of words.

"And he was never seen again. Carry on witness," Unfair says with a smirk.

They're always watching me no matter where I go.

Anyway, I saw that Vegy guy go into CJayC's apartment with him.


"HOLD IT! Are you sure it was the defendant you saw?"

"I'm absolutely sure."

"But, really? You're 100% positive?"

"OBJECTION! Enough with this incessant badgering. If the witness says he saw the defendant then he saw the defendant," Unfair says.

"The defense will refrain from badgering the witness," the judge says.

Great, now the judge is against me too...

I live next door and was coming back from the store when I saw them.

"HOLD IT! What store were you visiting?"

"Well um.... you see...."

"OBJECTION! Where the witness was shopping is irrelevant to the case at hand," Unfair says.

"Yes, the defense will drop this line of questioning at once," the judge agrees.

"Phew, I thought I was gonna have to tell you for a second there," Tadg says.

And that's the truth. You hear me Error?! You can't mod me for perjury!

"HOLD IT! I don't know who this Error is, but are you certain the account you've given to the court is accurate?"

"Absolutely! I'm an upstanding gamefaqs used unfairly harassed by the mods. I would never commit perjury."

You hear the sound of the gavel.

"I believe we've heard enough. Mr. Ceman, if you don't have any issue with the testimony I'll have no choice but to deliver my verdict," the judge says.

Honestly, I have nothing, but there is one thing that's bothering me.

"Your Honor, I do have one comment to make," you reply.

Unfair chuckles to himself. "Ha! This must be one of your foolish bluffs!"

He saw right through me...

"Your Honor, when I asked Mr. Tadg what store he was shopping at, he all of a sudden became very uneasy, and then seemed quite relieved when I was forced to drop the question," you say.

"Yes, and you've already been warned about this line of questioning, Mr. Ceman. You will not question the witness about irrelevant matters, lest you wish to receive a penalty," the judge warns.

"I understand, Your Honor, but I don't think it's irrelevant at all."

This is it, no turning back now.

"In fact, it's the key to the entire case!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4KYRqUrhLE" data-time="


"OBJECTION! What nonsense is this? Where the witness was shopping has nothing to do with the case. As I said before, this is just another one of your idiotic bluffs!"

"OBJECTION! Tell me then. Why is the witness so uncomfortable about the subject? He must be hiding something!"

This is it. What do I do?

A. Accuse Tadg
B. Demand to know where he was shopping.
C. Have Tadg testify again

"Ceman, this is absurd even for you!" Unfair yells.

Tadg is sweating bullets.

"Just look at his face! He has to be more involved with this than he's letting on. In fact, the defense asserts that Tadg is the true culprit of this case!" you yell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3R8tkvlAlk" data-time="


"OBJECTION! Unbelievable! Your Honor, I will not stand for these baseless accusations!" Unfair angrily shouts.

"Why can't you just answer the question? Where were you shopping, Mr. Tadg?" you ask.

"It was a furniture store!" Tadg caves.

Unfair looks incredibly uncomfortable.

A furniture store? Wait a minute....

"Did you perhaps buy a lamp there?" you ask.

"I-"

"Did you buy a lamp?!"

"Yes..."

This is it.

"Your Honor, I've figured it out. It was Tadg. He went to the furniture store to purchase the lamp used to kill CJayC. He plotted his crime in advance. When the time came, he had a stroke of good luck. CJayC was with a visitor. That was when Tadg had an idea. He would frame his crime on Vegy. That's right, HIS crime."

You give a dramatic finger point to finish him.

"Isn't that right Tadg?!"

"But the mods- I didn't - always harassing me - had to do something I-I-I-I GHRKAHEJADJDJHAJKDHJAHDLAHDLAHDLAHDJLAHDALJKHDLAKJHQDS"

Tadg passes out.

A few minutes later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As6NRNCeMRI" data-time="


"How is Mr. Tadg?" the judge asks.

Unfair is staring daggers at you.

"He's confessed to everything. It seems he blamed CJayC's departure from Gamefaqs for the supposed 'abuse' he was suffering from the mods," Unfair explains.

"Hmm, I see. Well, Mr. Ceman, you've done it again. The court hereby finds the defendant..."

NOT GUILTY

The gallery cheers. You feel a huge wave of relief.

"Court is adjourned."

July 14, 1:15 PM

"Fedora! I can't believe you won dat tbh!" Vegy exclaims.

"Well, it wasn't easy tbh."

Damn it now I'm talking like him.

"Anyway, friends still get off for free right? Thanks again!" Vegy yells as he runs out of the room.

"Hey wait!"

You sigh. Well, at least you got him off the hook. That's all that really matters in the end. Suddenly you hear someone approach from behind.

"Excuse me, are you Fedora Ceman?"

You turn to see a young girl, maybe 19-20 standing before you.

"Yeah, that's me."

"Finally! I've been looking for you for a long time!" she says.

"Looking for me? Why?"

"My friend is in trouble and needs your help! She's innocent I tell you!"

"Ok, calm down. Where is your friend? What is she in trouble for?" you ask.

The girl pulls a book out of her handbag.

"Here, just take a look at this and it will explain everything," she says as she hands you the book.

As you open the book you are barely able to even read the first sentence before you suddenly feel dizzy.

What's going on?

As your ears start ringing and your eyesight goes blurry you can faintly hear the girl's voice.

"Just let go, Mr. Ceman. I'll explain in due time..."

And with that you pass out.

What the... Where am I? What happened? Head hurts...

As your vision slowly begins to return you start taking in your surroundings. Torches mounting the wall bring a dim light to the room. Chains hang from the ceiling. It looks like some kind of medieval dungeon.

"Oh, you're up."

You turn to see a girl dressed in robes. She doesn't seem to be the same girl you met at the courthouse.

"Um, who are you? Where are we?" you ask.

"My name is Little Royal. As for where we are, we're currently in the dungeons below the judicial chamber," the girl explains.

"Wait... dungeon? Judicial chamber? What are you talking about?" you ask.

"You really don't know? We're being held prisoner while we wait to be put on trial. It should be soon."

"Trial? For what? I haven't committed any crimes!" you reply.

"I don't know what you did. They threw you in here a few hours ago, but they didn't say. As for me, I've been accused of being a witch."

"A witch? What do you mean?"

"They must've hit you hard on the head if you don't know what a witch is. They're only the most vile wenches in the land! They use their powers of sorcery to harm the innocent people of the kingdom. You have to believe me when I say I'm not one of them!" she cries.

"I never said you were. And come on, magic and witches aren't real," you reply.

"They definitely are! I've seen many a witch put on trial. I never expected to be here myself though."

The door swings open. In walks a man who looks like a knight.

"Alright you filthy witch, time to go!"

He violently grabs her by the arm and drags her through the door.

"You too, whoever you are!" he says to you.

You follow the knight through the dark corridors. You can only wonder what awaits you at the end.

July 15, 10:00 AM
Witches' Court
Judicial Chamber No. 2


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2-dAWCZSZo" data-time="


The man who appears to be the judge slams his gavel.

"Let the trial of the witch, Little Royal, begin."

You have been seated on a bench in the gallery. Little Royal is locked in a cage hanging from the ceiling. How could they treat her like this?

"Inquisitor Strike Gently, are you ready?" the judge asks.

Another man dressed as a knight stands behind what appears to be the prosecutor's bench.

"Of course, Your Honor. I was born ready," the inquisitor says.

"Very well, you may present your case," the judge says.

"The accused was reported to have been using witchcraft to cast fire in the Ancient Forest. We have eye witnesses."

"I see. Well then, I will now deliver my verdict."

Wait what? Already?! He hasn't even presented any evidence. What is Royal's attorney doing?

You look to the defense bench to see.... that there's nobody there. You can't stand for this.

"The court finds the accused, Little Royal-"

"OBJECTION!"

All eyes are on you as you stand behind the defense bench. The air feels incredibly hostile.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" the judge asks.

"I recognize him. We found him unconscious in the Ancient Forest. We didn't have anywhere to put him, so we left him in the dungeon for the time being," the inquisitor says.

They left me with a supposed witch? Thanks a lot... >_>

"I'm Fedora Ceman, attorney at law."

"Um, Inquisitor Strike, what is an 'attorney?'" the judge asks.

"I've heard of their ilk. They apparently defend sinful criminals in court. Truly disgraceful," Inquisitor Strike replies.

"You're right, I defend those who can't defend themselves, and I declare that this trial is a sham! Where is your evidence against the accused?! You haven't even called any witnesses!" you cry.

The gallery begins screaming insults at you.

Who does he think he is?!
Defending a witch? Who would ever?!
Burn the witch! And burn the attorney too!


Way to make a great first impression >_>

"This is utter nonsense. Guards, remove this man at once!" the judge orders.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXkwuve5A9I" data-time="


"HOLD IT! I'm quite intrigued by this. I've always wondered how attorneys operate. I say we humor him, and then when he admits defeat we'll punish him along with the witch," Inquisitor Strike says.

"Inquisitor Strike, are you sure about this?" the judge asks.

"Of course, you know what I always say. Work hard, play harder," Inquisitor Strike replies.

Oh wow he's so dashing!
He'll make that witch pay. And the attorney!
Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!


I've been in a lot of hostile courts, but this is something else entirely >_____>

"We'll play by your rules for now, Fedora Ceman. And now, I'd like to call my witnesses," Inquisitor Strike says.

Wait, witnesses? As in plural?

Three people enter the chamber.

Who are the witnesses? Pick 3

A. Ol Jolly Roger
B. Scotty Rogers
C. Asherlee
D. Gilberto
E. Glittering Fairy
