A chill ran through Maddy's spine. What? "It was successful in that you're safe, which I think was really Cadenza and Aryanna's goal. I'm happy to defer to that being mine as well. C'mon, let's go show that sweater to the others." She put a hand on Janice's back, steering her towards friends and away from that conversation. She would need to talk with Aryanna about this, maybe Cadenza. And probably Colonel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many cut down because they refused to turn aside... and because I made the choice to cut them down. Dismiss my vision of morality as absurd, if you will, but remember this: Violence is always a choice. To deny that you have made that choice, or to project it onto others, is nothing more than self-deception and cowardice. If you can say that you chose to kill, and that you feel nothing for the deaths, then I will accept that, but I do not believe that it is so." The creature stood still, staring into the sky blindly. "There was little choice about any of the killings... but I doubt you are one who would accept an explanation such as that. Yes. I chose to kill. I have killed more people than I can remember. I have always felt nothing. I was a tool, not a voice. But... I have begun to feel again. I feel wrong. I feel as if someone had rammed a knife into my chest and slashed it in curls around my organs. I feel sick, as though I am falling and the wind is not there. I feel... helpless." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative_Null Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 12 hours ago, Random Bystander said: Shade sighed. She was sitting down, taking a break. How hard was it going to be to find this kid? This is going to take forever. I think I'll go get myself some ice cream. She grinned. Often, she didn't even have to pay for such things. The owners of the stores were too scared that she'd kill them. Not that she would, of course. She never had before. Rumors had spread, which she was fine with, that she had killed a shop owner who tried to cheat her out of her money. That wasn't true. However, she had punched him in the face. Hard. I'm thinking chocolate ice cream this time... She went to find a place that sold good chocolate ice cream.

The prosecution will have to present evidence to argue that the defendant's treatment was somehow not unfounded. While I doubt this will acquit your client completely, Ms Delacroix, it will likely result in a much lighter sentence if you are successful. The prosecution may continue to argue for the defendant's guilt as well, but the focus of this trial has moved to his legal rights after arrest." @The Ward's Guard (Also at me, but I'm really interested in Edgeworth's response.)

Channelknight Fadran Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) "What'd you get, Jay?" Janice asked, pulling on his sleeve. Quote Oh yes, Null Jay's been here the ENTIRE TIME Have you ever gone shopping with a gaggle of girls, man? Has Jay? Can any man know the true horrors of trying to shop with a group of females? NO THEY CANNOT. THERE IS NO ESCAPE, NULL; THERE IS NO ESCAPE, JAY.
