[Ptolemy] She yelled "Gum for sale!"
[Ptolemy] Earlier today I had a yellow gumball and I used it *21* times before I swallowed
[Ptolemy] SO I figured a free blow-a-thon was worth a gumball.
[Ptolemy] I asked her for it free,
[Ptolemy] she didn't reply.
[Ptolemy] I noticed that I had no coins
[Ptolemy] So i went and killed some vermine.
[Ptolemy] I got two coins, came back, and said "Green?"
[Ptolemy] She said yep. We went to the merchant and she asked for 0.

[Ptolemy] I never saw her ask for a price.
[Ptolemy] Telan saw my blow-a-thon...

[Haengemie] <standard jury verdict briefing>
[Bellafae] Bellafae hands Haengemie the jury's verdict.

[Haengemie] Wargem this court has found your case frivolous.
[Haengemie] <standard jury sentence briefing>
[Haengemie] Jurors, you should take Wargem's record into account when deciding what sentence to recommend.

[Haengemie] Wargem, you are hereby sentenced to spend 11 minutes in the Puddleby jail,
[Haengemie] and fined 131 coins.
[Haengemie] As you cannot afford to pay your fine, the clerk calculates the balance (131c) as additional jail-time of 18 minutes.
[Haengemie] Also, Clera will help you arrange a payment plan.
[Haengemie] Judge Haengemie bangs his gavel
[Haengemie] This court is adjourned.
