The notail government called you and your friends.

You don't know why.

You don't know how.

And no matter how much you said "You have the wrong number" they refused to agree.

The clowns in the court chatter, while police and laws were unfun, the court battles were always a carnival of amusement.

Today, you and your team sit at the defense table.
A Kratos bangs the gravel to chill off the court.

Kratos
"We will now start the case of Z-19939 vs Circe's world. How do you plead?"
Z-19939
"Not guilty, obviously! ;D"
Kratos
"Prosecutor, begin your opening statement."
O-11
"Uh, sure!!! OwO"
O-11
"This vile not-notail broke out of jail at 2pm. In direct violation of his sentencing........OwO"
O-11
"And worse of all!-"
An image of the guard, dead on the floor is displayed to the court.
O-11
"He murdered a guard on his way out!!!!!!! OwO"
O-11
"This c-case is open and shut! OwO"
Kratos
"Defense attorneys for the Z-class, do you have anything to argue against this evidence?"

Horseface the Clown (formerly known as O-12) turns to whisper to the other "defense attorneys". "Damn, guys, I don't know, he has a pretty good argument. ;P"
Starlis
"I can't believe they are calling in a favor over this."
Trick
Trick is no longer in her element. It was the dan'gersign that she had to follow here.

"WANT FREEDOM? (yes yes) I'LL SELL IT TO YOU!!!!!!! (A jailcell opens up, but it just leads to a prison.) GOODNIGHT! (Closing argument.)"
Justitia
Standing tall at the table, confident, is a justitia unit with a short purple eyegret by her side. "The defense would like to bring to this court's attention a clear contradiction in the prosecutor's opening."
Justitia
"They claim that there was a murdered guard" She slams the table and points. "But this is clearly a cardboard cutout!"
I-203
"Isn't the prison normally guarded by Kratos units? What was such a guard doing in the defendant's cell, not even outside of it, anyway? ~v~"
Justitia
"Yes, that is the question. Which brings me to my second contradiction. The defendant did not break out of a prison, but an interview room!"
Starlis
"Plus the prosecution claimed the defendant is not a notail. Several of these facts are not lining up."
O-11
"Hmmmmp! Weak arguements. I'll prove you ALL wrong with my first witness......."
O-11
"A PERSON WHO WAS THERE AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME!!!!!"
O-11
"Also that.....that was a stutter, shut up. OwO"

"Name and occupation?"
Jeffery
"JEFFREY, RIOT POLICE."
Christopher
"Christopher, riot police."
O-11
"Now, retell the story just as you remember it. OwO"
Christopher
"Well, we heard a commotion coming from the communication room....."
Jeffery
"THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT ILLEGAL DEALS."
Christopher
"We waited in the room, which then exploded for unknown reaso-
Justitia
"What do you mean by "illegal deals." Please, elaborate."
Jeffery
The Kratos pecks at his wing. "PROSUTITION."
Christopher
The other one looks upside down."(Or...som)ething like that."
Justitia
"I see. Was there any footage of the moments leading up to the explosion?"

Money Grub slowly crawls over to speak with [THE EXACT TIME AND DATE OF YOUR DEATH DISPLAYED IN AN AD FOR CANDY CRUSH] about important Dan'gersign business. Particularly, CAPITALISM. Money Grub quietly points out how the judge could never be bribed or bought off....but the prosecution certainly can!
CANDY CRUSH
"DEALS YOU GOT THEM. I GOT THEM. WE ALL GOT THEM. but WE ALWAYS NEED MORE." (The dan'gersign is agreeing with this plan.)
I-203
"...Judge, isn't it possible you might have some personal bias in this case, in regards to the validity of these witnesses? Being a Kratos unit yourself and all. ~v~"
Justitia
"What the fuck, you don't just say that."
Kratos
"No, I do not have any bias, I assure you, on my unit name of Kv-1 that I will never show bias to anyone, and shall treat all people equally susceptive criminal or not."
Trick
Trick is shuffling through court documents trying to read them. She has absentmindedly shuffled them and they are now out of order. This isn't helping.
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 12 is rolled.

You find a piece of evidence, Clown honking take recorder!

Justitia
"Anyways, the defense would like to propose the security footage for the day of the incident be added to the court record."
The prosecution looks like a Capital G Gamer. There's nothing else Gamers love more than INGAME CURRENCY. Money Grub turns their attention to the prosecution and starts hawking their DIGITAL GOODS. Look here: FOR JUST 29.99$ YOU CAN GET AN ULTRA SUPER SPECIAL DELUXE EDITION GUN.
I-203
"If you say so. ~v~"
Starlis examines the image of the "dead cop" to see if there is anything more to it.
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 15 is rolled.

"You gain evidence "Extremely skinny guard."

Jeffery
"I WILL SHOW YOU THE FOOTAGE."
Trick
"Oh gosh I actually found something. If only I had the superpower of LOGIC to combine this with something else."
Starlis
Starlis looks to Trick as she looks over the evidence. "Trick dear, did you find something? I noticed that the dead guard seems to be quite thin"

The video plays. There's no audio. A notail and robot come to see Zipper. One of them leaves visually embarrassed as she leaves a snake behind. Shadows behind Zipper indicate two people walked in the room behind him.

Zipper is scared and appears to speak. After a few minutes, the tape suddenly ends.


Christopher
"As you can clearly see." The Kratos unit bows. "The guard wasn't dead before Z-ipper walked into that room, and only died sometime after the tape ceased its function."
Horseface
"Wait a second...Is this guy even dead? I've got a hunch. I CALL THAT DEAD GUY TO THE WITNESS STAND! ;P"
Justitia
"This tape does reveal a piece of vital evidence, though. That being that there was a Third party that could fit through the slot!"
Justitia
"The defense would also like to call that snakevine to the witness stand!"
Kratos
"He cannot come to the stand, as he is dead."
Jeffery
"WHAT SORT OF COURT BRINGS DEAD PEOPLE TO THE STAND. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO, SUMMON HIS GHOST?"
Horseface
"Is that a thing you can do? That'd be really helpful. ;P"
Christopher
"Can we summon a ghost?"
Starlis
Starlis thinks over the honking tape Trick found, and the extremely skinny guard.
The crowd chatters around.
I-203
"Don't suppose we could get his name at least then? Feels odd to speak of the dead so vaguely, if that's what we're doing. How long was he employed at this circus anyway? ~v~"
Christopher
"His name was Skippy Boop Bop Mc Aaaaaaaadeee doo Bababeep boop Spoonickyyyy~ Farny Super Manny!"
Jeffery
"THIS IS WHY WE DID NOT BRING UP HIS NAME."
I-203
"Any family on planet? ~v~"
Christopher
"We can't call that snakevine to the stand! It disappeared after the event!"
Jeffery
"WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT WENT. IT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO THIS EVENT."
Starlis
"Hold it! We can't determine if it's not important because it was there to begin with! Perhaps it killed the guard instead! The video ends before the snakevine leaves!"
Justitia
"Actually, I think we might be able to call a ghost. The defense would like to gather everyone's attention to this eyegret. Juno, show them all your spirit channeling technique!"
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.

Trick looks at the tape recorder. Is it fully analog or does it include a digital timestamp?
Can't....stop thinking about O-6's abs...no....why here?!?!?!
While everyone is talking about ghosts and dead people, Money Grub tries to work together with Candy Crush to bribe O-11 with video games and microtransaction money to throw the case.
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 1 is rolled.

O-11 grabs money grub

And throws it- into a box.

Horseface
"Wha- Hey! That's my bug! ;P"
CANDY CRUSH
"THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU????? THIS could happen to ME! IF YOU BUY RIGHT NOW, I'M BILLY MANCUA! AND I'LL MAKE SURE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU!!!"
Christopher
"YET AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO, CHANNEL A GHOST?"

CHRISTOPHER ATTEMPTS TO CHANNEL A GHOST.

Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. A 3 is rolled.

It just.....looks awkward..........

Justitia
"She's still in training…"
Kratos
"I believe it is clear that the snakevine cannot be brought into court at this moment. I believe you must look to other forms of evidence to prove your point."
O-11
"Oh I think he has family.... OwO"

The two Kratos look at O-11 like he just killed their dog.

Justitia
"Very well." The Justitia thinks. The only option left is to turn this trial on its head! "What if… the victim was never real?"
Jeffery
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jeffery
"...................................."
O-11
"No way, the victim is real for sure! What evidence do you have tha-that proves this? OwO"

The tape recorder......is digital!

Justitia
"If the victim was a real clown, they would be making a variety of noises at random intervals, and yet here they are!"
Trick
"Your honor, I've got an audio recording from the event, and I think if we line it up with the video tape, it will reveal an interesting detail."
I-203
"Additionally, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the victim displays no wounds or injuries, no visible cause of death, and the prosecution has yet to actually argue as to how his death was caused. ~v~"
Horseface
Horseface is discreatingly trying to sneak across the court room to get his bug back.
Fortuna rolls a 20 sided die. An 11 is rolled.

Worm regained!

Justitia
"In addition, the defense would like to ask the witnesses a question. Does the video they gave happen to have audio?"
Christopher
The Kratos cop continues to preen his feathers but under the stress of the questions, he rips one out. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jeffery
"CHRISTOPHER!"
Christopher
He holds the feather like a knife in his mouth. "There......Is no audio!"
Kratos
"All video cameras in the prison have audio."
Christopher
Christopher swings his handmade knife! "Fine....let's play the audio. It won't change anything!"
Jeffery
"YEAH IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!"
Ace Attorney: All Pursuit Themes

The video plays, this time with sound. The snake is left behind, and the two witnesses walk in. They chatter, and then an explosion takes out the recording.

Throughout the audio recording, the clown honks, the final honk being just before the video cuts off.

Starlis
"Trick, was that...honking?"
Trick
"That sounded like honking."
Justitia
"The defense would like to point something out. The so-called 'victim' made No noises other than the honking recorded on the tape! If this was a real clown, why wouldn't they be making other noises, or at least not honking rhythmically? The only explanation was that it was a Fake clown!"
Horseface
"It sounds to me like that was the exact same honk, looping. That's pretty weird- Usually, clowns make all sorts of noises, like Honk, HONK, Hoooonk, and OH GOD MY LEG. Honk. ;P"

"It would be pretty unlikely for there to happen to be a recording that happens to match a living clown's honking in such a way, wouldn't it?"
Jeffery
"IT WOULD!"
Christopher
"................................"
Christopher
The knife is aimed threateningly at Trick! "There....is........no such recording........"
Christopher
"You cannot prove this!!!!!"
I-203
I-203 pull out a gun and aim it casually at the kratos units.

The Kratos unit do nothing about this.

The judge does nothing about this.

The entire court doesn't seemed surprised. It seems that this is normal.

Justitia
"The defense would like to submit one final blow to prove this was not a real clown… an updated autopsy report! as you can see, according to this, the victim was Made entirely out of cardboard!"
Kratos
"Is there an updated report?"
Trick
Trick is caught slightly off guard while presenting the recording.

MONEY GRUB IS BEING TAKEN TO JAIL FOR ACTS OF AGGRESSION.
MONEY GRUB IS GONE.
DAMN IT, IT DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY MONEY.


Trick
"Aw, there goes your friend."
Horseface
"Damn, that sucks. ;P"
CANDY CRUSH
"To be loved, and loss, and loss, but what if you could gain. COME ON DOWN (The ladies come down, they're swinging their hips because they aren't liars, they are proper ladies.) and GET SOME! (The ladies have something to show you. They use their fingers to draw you in. You enter. The door closes. The shot is then at your gavestone, it says "Got some, thanks for the great deals! 5 stars!")"
Horseface
"Hey, I think this worm is trying to sell me prostitutes. ;P"
Justitia
"Indeed there is!" The justitia pulls out a piece of paper that says "use your eyes I'm literally blindfolded and even I can see it"

"There....never really was a guard."
Jeffery
"THAT IS A LIE. I SAW HIM WITH MY OWN EYES."
Christopher
"Jeffrey......I installed a fake guard."
Jeffery
"WHY CHRISTOPHER?"
Christopher
Christopher lowers his knives.
"Because.......No one wanted to work in the prison. So I staffed the place with.....Cardboard cut outs."

Starlis
"I'll send you the bill for my legal assistance, Z-19939, you're welcome. ;P" He did basically nothing.
Kratos

Zipper
"Bull that I had to do this anyway but I would like to thank the notail Union for paying my legal fees! ;D"

As you and your crew leave the court an X-class wearing a long coat approaches you and hands you your "payment."

The box says "ALIVE AND HUNGRY DO NOT OPEN UNTIL BACK HOME."

It is also....Huge.......

You think you just got paid in tailmics......


CANDY CRUSH
"We are winners today Men, Men, Men, and for those of you out there, Men. Our reward? (There is a box. You open it. There is a man, he puts his lips to his lips.) "Shuuuuuush" (The man closes the box.) Well, wouldn't YOU LIKE TO KNOW??? Come inside! Sit down. I'm closing the door. I'm leaving you inside.

Click.

Lock! Goodbye! (For only 5 easy payments this could be you.)"
