[Trial] Riddletuck the Third vs. Al the Mutt and Silas

[Deus Mortus]

Kratos stands up, I would like to call up Graklok.

[Silas]

Silas steps down.

"Objection your honor. Graklok was not around at the time of these events, what relevance does he have to Riddletuck's accusations against us?"

[Deus Mortus]

Your honor, Graklok is the original gravedigger and can shed some light on the case.

[Graklok]

Graklok comes into the courtroom.

Hewwo Evybody. Hewwo Captain! Graklok smiles and says as he enters. He proceeds to a bench near the front of the room, but not past the spectator point.

[Silas]

Silas glares at Kratos. "Could you possibly...oh, I don't know, shush and allow the judge to answer my objection before you open your mouth?"

[Deus Mortus]

Kratos looks at Silas with obvious contempt, I was explaining my witness as is usual and I would prefer some respect.

[McBish]

I'm sorry my client has been put under a great deal of stress due to these charges. I'm sure you understand. He looks at both Silas and Kratos and smiles..

[Deus Mortus]

Kratos gives a slight nudge of the head to McBish,but the way he does it seems more regal then the most practiced bow, Understandable, he turns to look at El J, Your honor what is your verdict in this matter?

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

Judge Jaspero gives Graklok a friendly nod. "I can see no harm in allowing the Town's gravedigger to explain his trade, though I will be interested to see what light he can shine on this case. Graklok, please come up to the witness stand."

[Deus Mortus]

((BTW El J, since when do you have long red hair?))

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

((It's my Gwen wig!))

[Deus Mortus]

((Now that you tell me I can see yeah, was a bit confused xD ))

[Graklok]

Gralkok nods and makes his way up to the stand.

Uh, Graklok no gwavedigga no more. Graklok used ta dig gwaves befo' Graklok became piwate. arrr!He whispers the last part quietly.

((I thought the red hair wig was a nice touch!))

[Deus Mortus]

((It is, but I didn't immediately recognize it as a wig ;) ))

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

"Graklok, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth by that which you hold sacred?"

[Graklok]

Graklok do!

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

Judge Jaspero nods.

"Kratos, please begin."

[Deus Mortus]

Kratos walks over to Graklok and smiles, Graklok, could you please tell me if you ever worked as a gravedigger?

[Graklok]

Graklok did. Graklok dug gwaves for beer. Sometimes bodies lie in stweets, so Graklok pick em up and bring to gwave, den bury 'em. Graklok bury Kitty George (Sneak), - he lie in Trog's fer few days befo Graklok get him outta der.

[Deus Mortus]

Graklok did you use any kind of system to organize the graves?

[Graklok]

Uh, no...nope. Graklok jus' grab shovel and dig hole. Graklok sometime dig in same spot, dirt easier move dat way.. Graklok did bury Kitty George where Kitty George requested though.

[Deus Mortus]

Did you bury them around the same spot or just all around the graveyard?

[McBish]

Your honor I have to object to this line of questions due to the fact that they seem to have no relevance to the case.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

"Objection sustained. Get to the point or move along, Kratos."

[Deus Mortus]

Your honor, I am trying to show that no crime was done.

Graklok, if someone wanted to rearrange the graves, how would he do that?

[Graklok]

Uh...dunno. Graklok 'spose could move stones like Graklok did when in way.

[McBish]

Your honor if no crime was done why are we here?

[Deus Mortus]

I meant that the demons in the graveyard were not committing a crime.

Graklok, let me specify, if someone had to move all the headstones and corpses, how would that have to be done, be as specific as you can, describe every step.

[McBish]

Again then I must object to this question as irrelevent.

[Kyrian]

Silas stands. "And I must once again object to Kratos' lack of allowing the judge to respond to our objections."
