Transcript of Trial of Archin and Yumeko Brey Part 4  ''Edocsil growls menacingly at Wendall.   Wendall shrugs. '' [Poynard] says: Corporal, the next witness or piece of evidence, please. [Wendall] says: Thank you Sir.  Tavion 's hair is messed up, his gloves are seared, and there are stains of blood on his skin and armor  [Wendall] says: first I want to explain what Archin told me, when I talked to him about the night the alleged murder took place.  ''Tavion lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. '' [Poynard] says: You are submitting this as a testimony?  ''Archin looks over at Wendall. '' [Wendall] says: Indeed.  ''Sirithil decides to sit on the bench instead of the chair. '' [Poynard] says: Perhaps this is more appropriate for when Professor Brey is on trial? [Wendall] says: Ah, well.. they both participated in the same crime, Sir. They were together. [Wendall] says: This is the abuse, torture, and then murder charge.  ''Poynard sighs. "Very well."   Wendall nods. '' <BR>[Archin] says: With all due respect, we're innocent.. neither of us were there <BR>[Archin] says: But continue.... <BR>[Wendall] says: He explained to me when I asked him about the night in question, that they were in Winterspring the entire evening. <BR> ''Vixeena cannot contain a growl of contempt at the Archin's claim of innocence. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: He also said he had no-one that could verify that testimony. <BR>[Archin] says: Sir.... <BR>[Poynard] says: Yes, Professor Brey? <BR>[Wendall] says: Archin, lets the grown up talk.. *sigh* <BR>[Archin] says: Winterspring is a dangerous, desolate place <BR>[Archin] says: We don't hold picnics in Winterspring! I don't invite my family there <BR> ''Meris catches sight of Xenkore out of the corner of her eye and gives him a curt nod. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Duly noted, professor. Thank you. <BR>[Archin] says: I'm sorry... I can't help it if we were fending for our lives in the cold... alone... thank you <BR> ''Vixeena colors hotly. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: No, I'd like to call my first witness. The one that originally brought this to my attention. <BR>[Wendall] says: I will then present evidence, and then call another witness. <BR>[Wendall] says: I'd like to call Lady Vixeena to the stand. <BR> ''Wendall points at Vixeena.  <BR> Vixeena walks with grace and a calm she does not feel.  <BR> Vixeena bows before Poynard.  <BR> Vixeena salutes Alester with respect.  <BR> You blink at Vixeena.  <BR> Edocsil growls menacingly at Vixeena.  <BR> Vixeena bows before Wendall.  <BR> Wendall smiles at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: State your name for the court? <BR>[Vixeena] says: Vixeena Windfoot, sire. <BR>[Poynard] says: Miss Windfoot. <BR>[Poynard] says: Please detail the events as they unfolded. <BR> ''Archin stares -hard- at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: Yes your eminence. <BR> ''Vixeena looks back at Archin with a frosty stare and begins.  <BR> Lanax glares at Archin. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: I was in the slaughtered lamb the evening of the murder. I saw the defendant and Lady Brey in the bowels of that place. <BR>[Poynard] says: What were you doing in the Slaughtered Lamb that evening? <BR>[Vixeena] says: They had a young girl cowering before them..pleading for mercy as Lord Brey and the Lady beat and tortured her. <BR> ''Peejee glares angrily at Barthelian. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: I was seeing to my training. While I study the art of wielding the Nether, I serve the alliance and an enemy of the Legion. <BR> ''You gasp at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Training in a tavern? <BR> ''Vixeena states this with a quiet sincerity.  <BR> Peejee eyes Veras up and down.  <BR> Naiama blinks at Veras.  <BR> Calithos looks over, tipping his hat to Veras.  <BR> Delora glances around for a Hound to talk to. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: The top level serves drinks. One may study in the chambers below. <BR> Veras wanders over and nods to Calithos then looks over to Meris and Peejee, he gives them a bit of a grin then looks forward again  <BR> ''Naiama raises her eyebrows.  <BR> Calithos 's stare looks over at Delora, suddenly a glare. He looks for a hound as well. To warn, apparently.  <BR> Peejee blinks at Veras' grin and reaches into her pack for another banana. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Ah really. Isn't that quaint. I will be sure to look in to that. Deeply. <BR> Edocsil really wants a banana  <BR> Meris flips to a page in the middle of her journal and then whispers back to Baydon.'  <BR> Edocsil also wants a cookie  <BR>[Poynard] says: So, you descended below the Lamb in order to...train. And you saw the defendants torturing? <BR> ''Lanax tosses Edocsil a banana.  <BR> Edocsil thanks Lanax.  <BR> Sirithil nods at Delora.  <BR> Edocsil eats the banana with the peel '' <BR> ''Delora whispers in Sirithil's ear.  <BR> Naiama eyes Delora up and down.  <BR> Raystlyn mumbles that's what happens when u put the church in charge '' <BR> ''Xenkore lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.  <BR> Meris shoots Delora a questioning glance.  <BR> Baydon raises a brow, responding in equal tone. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: Yes. Mister Brey slapped and punched the girl and Mrs. Brey said .."My husband is so adept at showing inferiors their place"...From the tone of the ladies voice she clearly took pleasure in the assault and then set her succubus on the young one. <BR> ''Sirithil listens to Delora, nods a bit, and whispers back. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: And no one else went down for training? <BR>[Vixeena] says: Yes. A gnome named Jureil. <BR> ''Sirithil grins wickedly at Delora.  <BR> Delora nods and smiles to Sirithil, then heads back outside.  <BR> Sirithil leans back to whisper to Naiama.  <BR> Naiama eyes Delora. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: We both passed through the upper chamber where the Breys were and into the one just below it. <BR>[Poynard] says: And this gnome saw the Breys torturing this girl? <BR> ''Naiama looks down at Sirithil with a frown...  <BR> Naiama sighs at Delora.  <BR> Naiama carefully leans down to whisper to Poynard. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: This gnome saw the girl kneeling and being pummeled as we descended. I am uncertain how much he heard as he was deeper in the chamber. I was at the entrance sire. <BR> ''Naiama nods at Poynard thankfully. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: And this gnome is here today? <BR> ''Vixeena maintains her composure with effort her face wearing a complex mélange of fear, disgust and a bit of anger. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: No Sir, I couldn't contact the gnome. Sir. <BR>[Poynard] says: Ah. I see. <BR>[Poynard] says: Can you describe this torture, exactly? <BR> ''Sirithil nods at Naiama, glances at Poynard, and nods approvingly.  <BR> Naiama shakes her head strangely at the request she was given. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Can you be positive it wasn't apart of the training in some fashion? <BR> ''Sirithil ponders going out to pass Delora the bad news, but decides she'd rather not miss this.  <BR> Archin mouths "positive?" to the girl. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: Yes. If you wish. She was beaten and some of her skin ripped off. she pleaded for mercy and emitted cries of one in agony. <BR>[Poynard] says: Ah, yes. Typically not the sounds of training. <BR> Veras adjusts his gloves  <BR> ''Archin shakes his head in disgust. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: Does training typically end with death of the individual without resurrection sire> <BR> ''Delora peers at Sirithil searchingly.  <BR> Naiama eyes Delora up and down.  <BR> Sirithil glances over at Delora, and shakes her head.  <BR> Neia mutters quietly to herself.  <BR> Delora frowns and nods.'' <BR>  <BR>[Archin] says: May I ask her a few questions? <BR>[Vixeena] says: after a violent explosion? <BR> ''Cogitatus sighs softly as he listens to the trial.  <BR> Veras leans forward and mumbles to Meris '' <BR> ''Meris shoots Veras a questioning look. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: No Professor, you may not. <BR> ''Archin grumbles and scowls.  <BR> Wendall smiles, grinning widely at Archie.  <BR> Baydon glances up to Veras, arching his brow. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: I believe I have heard all I need, thank you miss. <BR> ''Wendall winks slyly at you.  <BR> You stare Wendall down.  <BR> Peejee finishes eating her second banana and carefully folds up the peel and places it in her pack with the previous one. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: I have nothing to hide, your grace. <BR>[Archin] says: Magistrate Poynard.. <BR> ''Archin sighs and shuts up.  <BR> Aredis looks over to Veras. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Yes? <BR> ''Vixeena holds herself erect,..her hands shake in a fear she is mastering but her determination is icy and resolute.  <BR>[Archin] says: Nevermind... if I'm not permitted to defend myself... <BR> Archin sulks. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Ah. Glad to get that out of the way. <BR> ''Archin grumbles more. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Now then, Professor, describe to me the events of the evening. <BR>[Archin] says: Lets see... <BR> ''Kiiyue returns to her position, looking disheveled, tabard-less, and scorched. '' <BR>[Archin] says: Yumeko and I first went to Silithus... to kill various worms and whatnot <BR> ''Sirithil waves at Kiiyue. '' <BR>[Archin] says: After killing a tremendous number of them, we went to Winterspring <BR> Lanax turns to Kiiyue  <BR> Veras grunts and straitens up again  <BR>[Archin] says: Following all of that... we -did- return to the Slaughtered Lamb.. but simply to visit our son... who was being cared for in the building <BR> ''Meris glances over to Kiiyue as she strides in.  <BR> Yumeko is not here!  <BR> Yumeko is not here!  <BR> Zetsue ponders the situation. '' <BR>[Archin] says: As for... blowing someone up... I sure was not present <BR> ''Yumeko is not here!  <BR> Wendall rolls his eyes.  <BR> Delora edges up next to Veras and grins.  <BR> Archin turns, hearing Kiiyue enter, and notices his wife is gone.  <BR> Delora smiles reassuringly at Archin, regardless of if he sees it or not. '' <BR>[Vixeena] says: Might I address your grace? <BR> ''Cogitatus sighs softly.  <BR>[Archin] says: She's out of order... Sir... <BR> You point at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Is she? I wasn't aware. <BR> ''Calithos 's eye is hissing lightly. '' <BR>[Archin] says: with all due respect, you asked me a question <BR>[Archin] says: So... technically, you and I have the floor... <BR> ''Archin smiles.  <BR> Vixeena does not appear surprised and bears Archin's charge with a stoic calm. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: I did. Hm. For that matter, the witness may sit down. <BR> ''Delora reaches out and picks some lint off of Veras' shoulder pads.  <BR> Naiama blinks at Venaru.  <BR> You smile at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: Thank you Lady Vixeena, it took a great deal of bravery to stand up to him. <BR> ''Venaru was totally visible all the time.  <BR> You let out a hacking cough. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: So Professor Brey. <BR> Edocsil wants to be called  <BR>[Archin] says: Yes Sir? <BR>[Poynard] says: You admit to going to the Lamb. <BR> ''Venaru mutters.  <BR> Sirithil was totally visible too. And continues to be totally visible!  <BR> Zetsue laughs.  <BR> Illidorei glance at Veras, "Ah, sir Veras." '' <BR>[Poynard] says: What happened after getting to the Lamb. <BR>[Archin] says: Aye Sir, as a matter of fact, Sirithil saw us there that evening <BR>[Archin] says: Well...lets see <BR> Veras glances around and nods to Illidorei  <BR>[Venaru] says: [Darnassian] O neph'o dur dor'ano diel dal'dieb <BR>[Archin] says: Yumeko was particularly covered in worm blood <BR>[Archin] says: While I wasn't as much... but we were heading to see our son <BR>[Venaru] says: [Darnassian] Nor Dor anu thus belore man'ar <BR>[Poynard] says: Your son being where? <BR>[Archin] says: We went downstairs, and then realized we forgot a bit of mail, so returned upstairs <BR> ''Wendall blink slowly, mumbling to himself. '' <BR>[Archin] says: When we returned, Sirithil and her lackey.. <BR> ''Archin coughs. '' <BR>[Archin] says: Friend.... <BR>[Archin] says: Portentia were present <BR>[Poynard] says: Where is your son? <BR> ''Venaru gets up and leaves.  <BR> Sirithil pouts, and mouths, 'Clerical assistant'.  <BR> Archin blinks.  <BR> Edocsil thinks Venaru is a sexy devil. '' <BR>[Archin] says: Uh... I'd prefer to speak about the events.. not my son... <BR>[Poynard] says: I am not asking for your preference. <BR>[Poynard] says: I am asking the whereabouts of your son. <BR>[Archin] says: He's... he's safe Sir... don't worry about it... <BR>[Archin] says: He's... he's at the Slaughtered Lamb... Sir <BR>[Poynard] says: Oh? He lives in a public house? <BR> Veras leans forward and taps Peejee on the shoulder  <BR>[Archin] says: No... there is a fellow there that watches after him while we're being oppressed <BR> ''You smile at Poynard.  <BR> Peejee quirks an eyebrow and looks over at Veras with a surprised look.  <BR> Meris casually looks over at Baydon's hands, muttering something to him '' <BR>[Poynard] says: And this gentleman was watching your son while you were fighting...worms? <BR>[Archin] says: Yes... you see, we have to make enough money to keep our family afloat <BR> Veras motions for Peejee to lean over so he can whisper to her  <BR>[Archin] says: My wife.. she loves that expensive clothing, you know how women are <BR> ''You wink slyly at Poynard.  <BR> Wendall looks at Poynard and raises his hand in the air. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: May I, Sir? <BR>[Poynard] says: Of course. How old is your son? <BR>[Poynard] says: One second, Corporal. <BR> ''Wendall nods. '' <BR>[Archin] says: Uh... really.. I don't see how he's relevant... <BR>[Poynard] says: Really? <BR> ''Baydon grins faintly, replying in equal tone.  <BR> Peejee twists slightly to lean closer to Veras and whisper to him.  <BR> Poynard nods "Interesting." '' <BR>[Poynard] says: I do however. <BR>[Archin] says: Yes Sir... my son isn't on trial here.... <BR> ''Naiama was so totally here the whole time. '' <BR>[Archin] says: He's... I'd say a few months old... <BR>[Poynard] says: But he is a part of your alibi. <BR>[Poynard] says: Thank you. <BR>[Archin] says: Yes.. but he cannot speak yet, Sir, I'm sorry <BR> ''Sirithil is completely lost at how an alibi could be irrelevant.  <BR> Peejee frowns and shrugs.  <BR> Sirithil finds this *remarkably convenient!* '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Quite alright, I'm sure it's not your fault. <BR> ''Archin blinks. '' <BR>[Archin] says: May I continue? <BR>[Poynard] says: Oh, of course. I am sorry to interrupt. <BR>[Archin] says: All right... so... <BR>[Archin] says: We met Sirithil and Portencia <BR>[Archin] says: My wife returned downstairs to change, due to all the worm matter and the blood from our battles in Winterspring <BR>[Archin] says: And we simply talked... quite frankly. I even helped Sirithil with a messaging matter <BR> ''Meris eyes Baydon warily, whispering back.  <BR> Archin smiles warmly.  <BR> Peejee nods and stands up, heading for the door.  <BR> Veras mumbles to Peejee again '' <BR> ''Baydon 's grin widens.  <BR> Veras nods to Her and straitens up '' <BR> ''Alixia glances at the whispering behind her, then turns her attention forward again.  <BR> Veras trails his eyes back to the trial '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Is that it then? <BR>[Archin] says: I... suppose so... <BR> Meris blinks a few times and exhales, looking back toward the front of the courtroom  <BR>[Poynard] says: Is Miss Nightstone present? <BR> ''Sirithil waves at Poynard.  <BR> Veras glances to Meris '' <BR>[Wendall] says: I'd like the court to note that while Archin has stated he didn't have sufficient funds to house his child, he was able to easily pay for a hefty bail of fifty-five gold. Yes she is, Sir. <BR>[Sirithil] says: *Lady* Nightstone, if you please. <BR>[Poynard] says: Duly noted, Corporal. <BR>[Archin] says: That's irrelevant.. I could have easily accrued that money in that time... <BR> ''Wendall nods at Poynard. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: I am well aware of your gender, Sirithil. <BR>[Poynard] says: Please approach the bench. <BR> ''Archin shoots a look, as if saying 'touche' to Wendall. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: But apparently not of my title. <BR> ''Wendall smirks slyly at you.  <BR> Archin smiles warmly at Sirithil and murmurs, "Hello my dear..."  <BR> Naiama looks at Archin warily.  <BR> Sirithil returns the smile, quite nonchalantly.  <BR> Poynard smiles softly "Your...friend, however, can remain seated."  <BR> Naiama sighs.  <BR> Sirithil gives Naiama a quick nod.  <BR> Lothorial winks slyly at Kyltania.  <BR> Naiama peers at the back of Archin's head.  <BR> Kyltania nods to Lothorial. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Can you tell us of your interaction with Professor Brey and his wife that evening? <BR>[Sirithil] says: Of course. <BR> ''Archin stands tall and proud, appearing more confident with each moment. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: It began in the Jester. I was bored. The Breys were present, and a young woman walked in, asking for directions to the Blue Recluse. <BR>[Sirithil] says: They were... quite effusive in their offers of help, and I found this... uncharacteristic. Suspiciously so. They departed shortly with their new... friend. <BR> Veras mumbles something under his breath then lets his eyes wander  <BR>[Sirithil] says: After a few minutes, I left the Jester myself, and went by the Recluse and inquired after them, and was told they had never arrived. I was on my way back to the Jester when, while passing outside the Lamb, I heard - and felt - what sounded like <BR>  [Sirithil] says: an explosion deep underground. <BR>[Sirithil] says: Portencia arrived in the square at about that time, and together we entered the Lamb. As we entered, the Breys emerged from the basement, seemingly fleeing from something. <BR>[Archin] says: It was a loud explosion.... <BR>[Archin] says: scared the hell out of us... <BR> ''Archin shuts up.  <BR> Wendall quietly snickers to himself. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: It would seem Professor, you are testing my patience. <BR>[Sirithil] says: Yet you've made no mention of one thus far. Anyway, moving along. <BR>[Archin] says: I humbly apologize.... <BR>[Poynard] says: I will let it slide. Once again, and you will be escorted out. <BR> ''You bow before Poynard.  <BR> Delora rubs at the ruined part of her lower face and huffs a small sigh.  <BR> Meris noticed Kyltania suddenly, and then shoots a look back to Veras, gauging his reaction.  <BR> Poynard lifts up his cup of tea and takes a sip.  <BR> Veras doesn't even watch Kyltania as he enters, he keeps his eyes wandering. And simply adjusts his gloves '' <BR> ''Calithos 's eye has danced around on Kiiyue's head, fixing it's hair fort. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: I saw Yumeko was covered in blood - and I do mean covered. It was sopping wet, and appeared fresh. Even dripping from her robes. <BR>[Sirithil] says: She almost immediately took pains to stand behind Archin. When I asked what had happened, they were evasive and would not answer. <BR> ''Kiiyue seemed too irritated to notice the rebuilding of Kitty's hair fort in the soot-speckled ashes of her hair.  <BR> Vixeena smiles knowingly.  <BR> Calithos 's chewing on a Paedus. Munch munch slurp '' <BR> ''Archin rolls his eyes far too over dramatically. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: Given there were bloody footprints leading downstairs, I was naturally curious as to what had transpired. I claimed I was going to go downstairs to visit with a former professor from Dalaran who now conducts training under the Lamb. <BR> ''Naiama continues to stare at Archin's head.  <BR> Kyltania didn't even seem to glance at Meris or Veras or anyone else familiar..... except with maybe the "eyes" in the back of her head, a charcoal colored wall of locks.  <BR> Calithos drips grease in the creases of the floor. Perhaps he will flood the cracks of all the courthouse '' <BR> ''Archin believes there is a certain.. heat.. at the back of his head. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: Archin blocked the door; Yumeko, meanwhile, ducked back down the passageway to change her clothing. <BR> ''Archin lets out an exasperated sigh.  <BR> Vixeena smiles warmly at Lanax.  <BR> Aredis leans back on his hands, placing on of them on the hilt of his sword.  <BR> Lanax greets Vixeena warmly.  <BR> Vixeena softly whispers a greeting to Lanax. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: I busied myself for the next several minutes debating with Archin whether I should go downstairs or simply leave Archin a note to take down to Gakin - the former professor I referred to earlier. While we went back and forth on this, Portencia also slipped <BR>[Sirithil] says: downstairs while Archin was distracted. <BR> ''You gasp at Sirithil.  <BR> Yumeko is taking a couple of screenies '' <BR> ''Archin opens his mouth, but then shuts up, seething.  <BR> Wendall loves Sirithil.  <BR> Zetsue seems to be recalling something.  <BR> Naiama smirks. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: Finally, I wrote a note to Gakin and sealed it, before passing it to Archin to take down. Portencia reemerged after a moment, and so did Yumeko. <BR> ''Lanax nods at Vixeena. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: She was now wearing different robes, mostly clean except for a wet stain on her shoulder. I found an excuse to shake her hand, and at the same time touched her shoulder with my other hand. It came away bloody. <BR> ''You blink at Sirithil.  <BR> Guild: Council of the Eye '' <BR> Guild created 3-4-2005, 32 players, 31 accounts  <BR> ''Alixia tilts her head.  <BR> Delora did not just bounce.  <BR> Lanax nods at Alixia. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: Portencia and I then said our goodbyes and we left the Lamb. She then reported to me that she had seen a downstairs chamber, charred by a recent explosion and veritably wallpapered with fresh blood and bone chips. <BR> ''Wendall looks at Poynard and raises his hand in the air. '' <BR>[Sirithil] says: That's about it. <BR> ''Alixia nods at Lanax. '' <BR>[Wendall] says: I have a piece of evidence to submit with that, Sir. <BR>[Poynard] says: Let me see the evidence, Corporal. <BR>[Archin] says: Sir.. may I just say one thing? <BR>[Wendall] says: I went and checked out the place as well after hearing about it, I collected a few.. pieces. <BR>[Sirithil] says: Portencia, of course, can corroborate almost everything I have said. <BR>[Wendall] says: Alester, could you show the dear Magistrate? <BR>[Alester] says: Ah, right... <BR>[Wendall] says: I would also like to note that my tabard has similar charring, from when Archin fireblasted me upon his arrest. <BR> ''Alester has been toting a moderate sack this whole time.  <BR>[Archin] says: We're not talking about that charge, Sir Harken... <BR> You nod at Wendall.  <BR> Wendall nods at you.  <BR> Alester opens the bag for Poynard, revealing a bit of charred flesh....I guess. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Ah. How wonderful. Thank you. <BR> ''Archin waves his hand to Poynard.  <BR> Alester withdraws.  <BR> Lanax quietly whispers to Vixeena.  <BR> Archin looks pleadingly at Poynard, his hand raised.  <BR> Vixeena looks up at Sirithil. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Yes, Professor? <BR>[Archin] says: May I please just say one thing about the testimony and the 'evidence'? <BR> Lanax nods in agreement to Vixeena  <BR> ''Vixeena nods emphatically at Lanax's comments. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Yes? <BR>[Archin] says: First of all, I could bring you a ton of charred flesh <BR>[Archin] says: There is a huge fire in the Lamb... anyone could produce burned flesh <BR>[Archin] says: And secondly, Miss Sirithil is merely telling you what she 'guesses' was the blood <BR>[Archin] says: ...what she 'supposes' <BR>[Sirithil] says: Actually, no, blood has a very distinctive smell. <BR>[Archin] says: She doesn't have any hard, strong, incontrovertible evidence <BR> ''Vixeena whispers to Calithos. '' <BR>[Archin] says: She's out of line! <BR> ''You point at Sirithil. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Thank you for informing me how to do my job. <BR>[Archin] says: Out of order sir... <BR>[Archin] says: Uh..y..you're welcome.. <BR> ''Archin nods meekly.  <BR> Naiama stares at Archin.  <BR> Calithos tilts his head, to listen better. His face seems to grow..amused. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Professor, I really must insist you hold your tongue, or I will ask someone else to hold it for you. <BR> ''Delora bonks Zetsue on the noggin. Doh!  <BR> Archin resumes sulking.  <BR> Wendall raises his hand, volunteering.  <BR> Zetsue whispers "ssssss" in Alixia's ear.  <BR> Calithos hrms..he looks around, thinking. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Sirithil, you may take a seat, thank you. <BR>[Sirithil] says: Thank you, Osrien. <BR> ''Naiama grins.  <BR> Sirithil turns to return to her seat.  <BR> Calithos mumbles something.  <BR> Vixeena looks up at Calithos inquisitively then resumes her seat.  <BR> Archin stands quietly. '' <BR>[Poynard] says: Now then, Corporal. <BR>[Wendall] says: Mhm? <BR>[Poynard] says: What el- <BR> ''Meris idly inspects her fingernails, only half listening to the trial.  <BR> Poynard pauses as he looks at his hands. Loud popping noises can be heard as the fingers on his left hand, pinky finger to index, start to bend backwards slowly. A few seconds pass before each pop. ''
