Clera, reporting.

[Bellafae] This court is now in session, The Honourable Judge Haengemie presiding.
[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Mac-arena] okay, so
[Mac-arena] in town, we were protesting the new balance system
[Mac-arena] (in which each equip or unequip impacts your balance by 1/12 to 1/3)
[Mac-arena] in town, we were protesting the new balance system
[Mac-arena] (in which each equip or unequip impacts your balance by 1/12 to 1/3)
[Mac-arena] Lotus here impeded the protest by:
[Mac-arena] 1) healing the protesters (who were fallen and explicitly asked NOT to be healed)
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Mac-arena] and 2) killing rats, which we were using to become more fallen and thus thwart the healers from doing 1)
[Mac-arena] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mac-arena
[Haengemie] Lotus, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lotus] This is my town too. I did not want to see those dead bodies in the streets
[Lotus] If they have to protest something that has to do with ooc things
[Lotus] They should do it in an ooc manner
[Lotus] Not in the middle of town in character
[Lotus] Email and such are such ways
[Lotus] Besides I was cursed for doing my job
[Lotus] I believe in helping all even if they do not want to be helped
[Lotus] I took that oath when I became a healer
[Lotus] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lotus
[Haengemie] Mac-arena, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Mac-arena] first off, we weren't dead, we were fallen :)
[Mac-arena] second, and this is completely IC, we were protesting the Gods adding weight to our items so we would fall over easily if we tried to switch among them
[Mac-arena] third, we were not protesting Lotus' beliefs, nor am I suing them
[Mac-arena] I am suing her actions
[Mac-arena] she can believe what she feels like
[Mac-arena] fourth, darqmax says number 2 is an outright lie
[Mac-arena] it is not
[Mac-arena] how I can figure he figures that's a lie is beyond me.
[Mac-arena] (if you would like to tell me please do so now :)
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Mac-arena] "ehh you just wasted 10 seconds"
[Mac-arena] okie
[Mac-arena] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mac-arena
[Haengemie] Lotus, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Lotus] YOU may have been protesting the gods but the only things I heard were: Down with balance systems and such
[Lotus] If you want to hold a protest you should make sure the members can all relate to one systems
[Lotus] If you want to hold a protest you should make sure the members can all relate to one system
[Lotus] Im not saying that you are accusing my beliefs
[Lotus] But I will continue to follow them espcially against those who chose manners that interupt MY fun
[Lotus] I would rather the protests be healed and move to another location than town center
[Lotus] such as Prue in the zoo
[Lotus] and yet I get more BK even though we are trying to settle this in a good manner
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Lotus] Lotus shrugs
[Lotus] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Lotus
