[Mayo] hullo!
[Mayo] right now all of you are thinking
[Mayo] its a slug this is a waste of time blah blah blah
[Mayo] and your all muttering "frivolous"
[Mayo] but it was a domestic slug
[Mayo] not just any slug
[Mayo] it had a nice coat of purple
[Mayo] and did lots of tricks
[Mayo] and Zorak went out of his way to kill it
[Mayo] his name was Squish
[Mayo] we tried to pull Zorak away
[Mayo] and after much warning not to kill the slug
[Mayo] I threanted to sue him
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Mayo] which made him kill him
[Mayo] errm
[Haengemie] Thank you, Mayo
[Mayo] and he was so nice!
[Haengemie] Zorak, you have 90 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Zorak] I am sorry for bringing all of you people here, this case is obviously very silly, and a waste of time.
[Zorak] I am just an exile trying to get experience so I can learn more from my friends in the fighter's guild.
[Zorak] The slug looked like any other slug and didn't do any tricks at all.
[Zorak] Done.
[Zorak] Done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Zorak
[Haengemie] Mayo, you have 120 seconds to speak, unless the jury deems your testimony irrelevant.
[Mayo] It wouldn't be here if you had just left the slug alone
[Mayo] its Zorak's fault the court is in session
[Mayo] don't blame me
[Mayo] I am just a messenger
[Mayo] I loved that slug!
[Mayo] and....
[Mayo] theres plenty of slugs in the world
[Mayo] he didn't have to kill a domestic one
[Mayo] he's just jealous he can't kill real wild slugs
[Mayo] so he has to pick on the domestic ones
[Mayo] I warned him!
[Mayo] I said I'd take him to court!
[Mayo] but he had to make a big deal about it
[Mayo] its all his fault!
[Mayo] you'd all be in the North Forest or wherever if not for him

[Zorak] Mayo, there are dozens of mroe slugs in the Puddleby farms, and if you don't want people bothering your slug,
[Zorak] you should bring it where new exiles will not try to kill them.
