Predators and Prey

[Simo]

Well, for one thing, it'd take a fox to do something this clever, and mischievous.

And there's an irony in it, given how often Skunks transform foxes...

...an acerbic wit.

Thus, I hereby accuse: @AcerbicSeth.

*I look at the empty chair next to me, @Ravofox doesn't seem to be here yet.*
*Stands up, looks official.*
My client reserves his legal right to silence.
*Sits back down.*

Ah HA! If the defense is utilizing their right to remain silent in their best interests...

Then they ADMIT that giving true testimony would be detrimental to their case! The defense is GUILTY!

 

[Sairn]

Hold it! You can’t start interrogating the prosecution! That’s very out of form. I’m sure even TR273 would agree. We’re interrogating witnesses and suspects. I’m neither.

*realizes his mistake*

I will redirect my question towards @Ravofox, speaking of which...

Where IS your client @TR273? I hope for his sake he's not late, I am not a patient cat.

My apologies @Arishipshape

All is forgiven. I just wrapped this case up with a single minor contradiction anyways. EVERYONE knows the prosecution instantly wins if there’s even the TINIEST of tiny mistakes in the defense’s case!

 

[Simo]

Then again, let's go ahead, and accuse @Ravofox as well. Can never be too certain, in these cases: and he is always transforming: indeed, an expert in these matters.

*eyes @Ravofox with suspicion*

Ok let's see if I remember all those courtroom dramas I watch....
...I mean my legal training....
*Sweats*
We have to call him to the stand by shouting his name down a corridor many times, instead of just using a megaphone or something.
*Looks at the nearest fur*
-Ahem-
Call @AcerbicSeth to the stand!

Your honor, I move to have this entire case wrapped up immediately on account of my epic prosecuting. I win.

In answer to your question, I don't know, I'm not his mum!

Speaking of which, who is the judge?
*Looks at the empty bench*
I move for a mistrial.

This is hard, when the suspects are not even present!

Well, I guess that means they are busy being guilty!!!!!!

*strips @Ravofox*

The tattoo proves it!

 

[Arishipshape]

In the event that the suspect doesn’t show up to their trial... unfortunately no, we do NOT get the guilty verdict. We reschedule. Case dismissed (for the time being)!

You are his representation, so I would hope you at least encouraged him to be present!

I have to agree with @Arishipshape. While I am for innocent until proven guilty, it doesn't help his case not being present!

But wait....
If foxes have a predisposition to being guilty... and you yourself are currently a fox....

I already dismissed the case, you don’t get to go all defense attorney on me and accuse my witness!

Ah, just a technicality! I mean, I'm really a skunk, clearly.

And wholly innocent, as skunks are.

 

[Pygmepatl]

@Simo must be the real culprit.

I saw him snatching potions from my rat friend @metatherat.

Very well, particularly since the judge is currently AWOL as well.

*Departs for my thriving legal practice... behind the dustbins out the back of the fast food place.*

@Simo, willingly wanting to be a fox?!??!

I don't believe it...

 

[Simo]

*inspects @A Minty cheetah's booty, and assesses a tax on said booty*

 

[WXYZ]

*stamps @A Minty cheetah's booty as a sign of compliance from HMRC*

 

[Pygmepatl]

@Simo, willingly wanting to be a fox?!??!

I don't believe it...

Maybe.

His obsession with foxes might be the reason.
