Don't forget the Forum Families and the Code Vault don't count either.
:silence: Okay, I lied. I didn't trip. I was pushed. Typical Parker luck. :xp:
I tripped and fell face-first into a girl's rack. The embarrassing part was when she drop-kicked me into the bleachers. :xp:
Naminé sniffed back a sob and gave Riku a weak smile before hugging him tightly. "Thank you." After she broke off from the hug, she turned to Pika_Power. "He's right, you know. Anything that we say outside of the trial is completely useless. It may help with some insight into the case, but in the end, we don't want someone like Xelax..." She jerked her head toward the lawyer who was busy with his own stuff. "...to get any more ammunition to use to manipulate the truth." Kairi took a final handful of Skittles and popped them into her mouth. She had enough of the fruity flavor and was looking forward to all of the chocolate she was about to enjoy. OOC: So...what are we going to do about the trial?
"Wait, Riku!" Naminé ran up to Riku. "Please! I just wanted to apologize!" She was aware of how awkward it sounded, but at the moment, she didn't care. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to outright and accuse you!" Her shoulders sagged with sadness. "There's no excuse, I know. And I'd do anything to make it up to you." She felt so diminished in his presence. Now that she finally had a chance to talk to him, the words wouldn't come out right. "I can't pretend that I know everything you've been through, everything you've sacrificed for me, Sora, Roxas and Kairi. I know you've suffered." She sighed. "I know you think that all I care about is Sora or Roxas. That you don't have any place in my heart when they're around. But...I love you too!" Not wanting him to take it the wrong way, she quickly added, "I love you as a dear and close friend. You helped protect me, save me, even when you could've just turned your back on me when DiZ was going to eliminate me. I can't thank you enough for that." She was on the verge of tears now. "I'm sorry. I don't know how many times I can say it. But..." Naminé bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. "Please forgive me."
:woohoo: I KNEW I could do it! *heads off in some random direction*
"Cliché, exclamation point, question mark." I did it! What do I win? :xp:

Heh. "Go, Go, Baka Rangers!" I seriously can't believe how far they took it regarding the live-action series. :p But still, why the heck would the Dub use "Dummy Force?" It doesn't have the same feel as "Baka Rangers." I say when we dub it, we use the "B.R." instead of the "D.F."And yes, I do realize that Dummy Force has the same initals as me. I'm not changing it.
Namine was a bit stunned at the defense attorney's way of coming onto her, but she shrugged it off. When chaos began to reign in the courtroom, Namine leapt out of the witness stand and headed for the door Riku left through when a stray explosion from Pika_Power and Stitch's intimidation tactics sent her flying... ...right into Repliku's lap. As soon as she realized where she was, she quickly leapt off of him and started brushing herself off. "So sorry about that..." That's when Namine remembered. "Um...Repliku?" She glanced at the floor nervously. "I never did formally apologize for what I did to you at Castle Oblivion. I know that the Organization made me tamper with your memories, but I was still responsible for my actions." She looked him straight into the eyes. "I am deeply and truly sorry," she said in an apologetic tone. And she meant it. "I also never thanked you for protecting me from Marluxia. I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't came. So..." Before Repliku could reply, Namine leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "...Thank you, Repliku." And with that, she gave him a coy wink and ran out of the audience box toward the double doors. She still had to apologize to Riku after all. Unfortunately, she didn't see Riku come back in through the doors on the other side... Kairi couldn't believe what just happened. At first there was so much tension in the air when Xelax looked like he was about to use one of his cheap, patented "OBJECTIONS." Next thing she knew, Goofy and a well-timed shield knocked the judge unconscious and the entire courtroom became a "Where's Waldo" splash panel. She shook her head. All of this because of a bag of Skittles? Kairi leapt out of the audience box (a ten-foot drop) and landed safely on her feet. She decided to give the Skittles to the Pokemon as she had other things to snack on in her purse (a giant mixed bag of M&Ms were in there as well.) As she saw Mr. Power waddle toward the door with Stitch, she yelled, "Pika_Power! Here!" She swung the 8-gallon bag with all her might. As soon as she let go, she suddenly realized how heavy the bag was in proportion to a Pikachu. She could swear she saw the defense attorney's eyes grow round as the incoming projectile rocketed toward his head. CRUNCH! The bag landed on the Pokemon with sickening crash as it almost literally crushed the poor mouse. Kairi's hands flew up to her mouth in horror. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" She ran toward the struggling defense attorney, completely forgetting that Stitch was there too... OOC: Pika_Power, love the Namine/Vexen reference. And sorry about the bag of Skittles knocking the wind out of you. :p Also, how long is the recess going to last? Until Judge Erkz recovers or when ICSP gets back?
OOC: Dude, it better not be something absurd like "Naminé was just too lazy to open up a portal" or "She had to stretch her legs from sitting too long." Seriously, it better make sense. :p
Kairi gripped Sora's hand tightly with surprisingly bone-crunching force that made him cringe in pain. But she didn't notice. This seemed like a critical point in the case that could make or break it. She sincerely hoped that Naminé knew what she was doing and didn't say more than she was supposed to...
"Mr. Xelax." Naminé gave the defense attorney a hard look. "Since you're so determined to say that I could Dark Portal during Castle Oblivion, do you have any proof that I had that ability at the time? I was just created from Sora's heart the exact same time as Roxas with no memories of my original self. The only ability I knew how to do at the time was being able to change Sora's Chain of Memories. Not to mention the fact that I was always under someone's watch. Plus, if I truly knew how to Dark Portal, why would I have to RUN out of the room when Axel helped me escape? Why couldn't I have just opened up one right there?" OOC: So Judge Erkz, you have anything to say about any of this?
Naminé stared at Mr. Birdman in awe. She could sense great power and wisdom emanating from him despite him looking like a wrestling reject with horse feathers. The way Xelax was trying to twist the situation away from the truth seemed like a shameless act. After all, wasn't the job of lawyers to vow to seek the truth? But she knew better. There were always the corrupt. People that would hide the truth for their own benefit even if it meant damning the innocent. Naminé was feeling a bit depressed now. She could sympathize with Riku now and how she was being accused of a falsified "truth." Kairi munched on her Skittles thoughtfully. She was wondering what would happen when the court finally adjourned and the verdicts had been passed. Some powerful force had brought them all to this courtroom, reviving the slain and pulling the strings. After what she had been learning so far, she had the sneaking suspicion that the outcome of this trial wouldn't matter. No matter who won or who lost, everyone would be put back in their original places, the dead would return to where they came from and the living would walk the realm of light once more. But what would that do to their memories? She looked at Sora with a slight twinge of sorrow. He had finally had all of his memories returned. But once this trial was done, would everything go back to the way it was? That would mean that all the knowledge that they had gained these past few hours would be all for naught. Plus, Sora would lose the memories he had for a second time, along with everyone else. She, Riku and Sora wouldn't recall anything that would take place here... She returned her gaze to the center of the courtroom and looked at the defense and then to the prosecution from the stands. Kairi had the sneaking suspicion that only the four down there and the judge would remember everything that happened. She didn't like the way that everyone in this courtroom was being played like pawns, as if it were all just some type of role-playing game created for the sole purpose of tormenting everyone that was involved. But she could do nothing about it except to grin and bear it...
The English voice actor, Greg Ayres, was also disappointed in the way the director wanted him to talk. He argued that wasn't how a Welsh accent sounds. It's also been stated that when it finally premiered, he walked out before his speaking part. Eventually, the director allowed him to speak in the way that Greg thought was best for Negi. So, if you keep watching until the end of the series, you'll eventually notice the change in Greg's accent and voice in the later episodes.
"Skittles?" she asked Riku as she quietly offered him the bag. That's when Kairi noticed something particularly odd. No, it wasn't the courtroom. She had seen enough fantasy to know that things weren't always what they seemed. And when it came to this particular court and its judge, anything could happen. What was bothering her was Janexna was watching the whole thing silently as if deep in thought. So far Xelax had been calling all the shots. That might be the reason why the prosecution was arguing right now. Janexna was letting her partner do most of the work. It was pretty much a two-on-one match. The prosecution was strong, but only if they could agree. If not, even Xelax himself would be able to take them both on without any problems. As nervous as Naminé was, she was beginning to feel a little restless. Was she done here? Did she prove the prosecution's case? As her eyes scanned the audience, she realized that she had never apologized to Repliku. Shaking her head, she cursed herself. First Repliku and now Riku. She wondered if she would EVER be able to make it up to them both...
Kairi let out a sigh of relief. The thought of the prosecution being insulted was almost too much to bear. She silently hoped that after Naminé left the witness stand, she and Riku would finally make up. Amused by the whole "Skittle Scandal," she reached into her purse and pulled out a mega-bag of it herself. She opened it up carefully and realized that somehow the factory messed up. Because the bag of candy was none other than... ...Yellow Skittles. A full bag of them. Kairi glanced around. No one seemed to have noticed yet...
He's a freakin' 15 year-old who looks and acts ten and yet all the girls keep telling him that he's not old enough to know what romance is. I mean, come on, how naive can a guy get? :huh: And I say Pokemon will only die when the creator dies. Either that or a conspiracy pops up that involves numerous deaths and how the anime is bad for children. And no, the seizure episode and James' jugs don't count. :p
OOC: Heh. Repliku brought up the point that I was going to bring up. BTW, you're doing it wrong. It's: Just saying. :p BIC: Naminé nodded. What Mr. Birdman said rang true. As far as she could remember, she never had a physical weapon. Let alone, she didn't even know how. Her powers were only good on Sora and whoever's hearts it came in contact with. They wouldn't have worked on anyone else. Most of the Organization were all Nobodies after all, so they had no hearts that could be affected. As for this "twitch" the defense thought he saw... "Mr. Xelax. I've been an observer for long enough to know when someone's grasping. The only reason I looked at Mr. Power is because he reminds me a lot of Larxene in terms of affinity and ability. I mean..." She gave the Pikachu an apologetic look. "...other than his stubby arms and legs. No offense." Kairi facepalmed herself. Why the heck did Naminé make a comment like that? She already insulted Riku. Kairi hoped that she didn't insult the prosecutor as well...
OOC: Are you sure you want to do that? You're already playing Harvey, Sora, Riku and Repliku already. Wouldn't trying to play as one more character kinda be spreading it thin? And ICSP, Erkz, (and/or *TwilightNight* wherever you may be), what's next?
