Hello one and all~ I believe that most of my darling friends here know that I enjoy being dramatic, dressing my character up to fit said drama, rping etc. This latest venture of mine should in fact cover all of those things in the form of a roleplay that covers the drama and intrigue of High Court and perhaps even investigations or "press releases".
As this is in its "baby stage", I will of course be taking any advice, idea and insight given by my awesome friends and fellow rpers in this. This should also, hopefully, make things less messy in the actual rp by having the characters and certain details here. OOC chat is also allowed here~ If everyone does indeed have fun with this, there will be more cases, etc.

......I should definitely ping now: (in case you want to join in and have another excuse for dressing up and rping before the events of this month) (I know roleplays are not your cup of tea, so I do not pressure thee to join in, but if you want to you can, or you can peek in, read here and there and say hello ^_^)

Barristers :(Barristers and Attorneys are not always synonymous. Barristers can “have the floor†so to speak—have an audience with the jury and try to put the person they are serving in the best light possible, while the lawyers/attorneys are the ones that defend their client, lay charges, make appeals to the judge, ask the accused and witnesses questions, etc. If one wants to act as both Barrister and Attorney for someone however, that is fine.)

Lady Chinaberry
Special Roles: (Awesome Roles that are made upon request. Each role here is for a specific person. Most special roles can be reserved for one specific person. If you have a special role that you want that isn't up here, or an idea for one, let me know, and I'll put it up ^_^)
Madame Stenographer: Lady Lirikai (Reserved for Lirikai)
Jury: (No less than 6 minimum, and no more than 13 maximum. ….It should be 12, but I like the number 13. It makes it far more ominous. If one wishes to be a juror for a specific case, or all three, please tell me. There will also be the Filler-Juror option, if you would like someone to fill in for that case, or if there is a "high-profile" case that needs more jurors. Hm....there are now 14 jurors!

Odd. I wonder why it doesn't highlight an option over Lady 's name up above. I thought it was spelled wrong, but its not. Silly Subeta doesn't want us to hover her name apparently when pinging so we can see her lovely HA. (loving the deer she has going on...I had to go to her profile page to see her) :(
Okay it hovers for me and not for you...they spelled the same tho. odd
Argh, that is irritating. And she really does have a lovely HA. So pretty and well layered. Perhaps the site has decided to dislike me once more. T_T For a second when I hovered over Lady 's name, it cut the thingy right under her HA. Odd.
[Dance=Lariel]
There we are now...We have her pinged. I have not seen her in forevers.
I talked to her a few days ago, like with Birdie, rl is wearings. I still miss and worry about her though. :(
[Dance=Lariel]
Speaking of birdie...it has even been a few days since I seen her pop on here to read anything :(
I worry for her as wells....has she been on fb?
[Dance=Lariel]
PUT ME WHEREVER THERE'S ROOM I DON'T CARE 8D okay yes I do care a little but not really I already posted all over your comment page but I'm rushing to get out the door tomorrow morning and will be gone and probably afk all weekend, but I'd love to jump in and participate and have fun with all you lovely pillowfolk assorted individuals but I don't want to take up space if things are getting started now and me being MIA is a problem.
So. Uh. Not sure where that leaves things. Jury, maybe, or...IDK something that leaves lots of room for eating and drinking? n__n And/or making a nuisance of myself. I'm pretty good at that too.
I object to being on the jury of the pillow case. She will find me guilty just cus I harvested some of her parts last year and refused to give them back.
Looks at the pretty HA of Lirikai tho. Ohhh Like that. Very gorgeous. Still wish I could work with Kimono's better :(
WHAT? BIAS. I claim bias!
And it's not my fault if you never gave back my property. Tell you what. If I happen to find a spleen, maybe a pancreas, and a random kidney or two in front of my door when I get home, then no questions asked and everything will be copacetic.
n____n
Eeee thank you! I feel like a jerk using kimonos all the time because it's all "ONE ITEM OUTFIT. DONE? DONE."
I like one item outfits. :) Thats why I tend to own lots of long dresses. But for some reason I love Kimonos but then I am like...OMG what hair, what background. ACKS! And I freak out. LOL
But but but...You allowed me to harvest those items...Returning would be wrong. I kept them tho..didn't eat them. Nice jars in a very lovely display case.
Jury it is! Lady , be fair. You are already biased towards ALL of the cases. XD
Lady , as the rp is still in the baby and talky stage, there is plenty of time to pick a role! Even more than one. ^_~
With Court trials of the insanely wealthy, there is much involved! Investigations, the press--you could be one of the few people of the press allowed in because you are that freaking wealthy! I know that Kimono didn't come cheap. That cost at LEAST 5 Italian villas, 6 Japanese Temples, and.....checks receipt Two Dragons. XD
Ooh....there should be a Madame Secretary Role. ......I like the title. I have no idea what they would be doing yet, but it MUST exist!
[Dance=Lariel]
Yeaaah you kind of have a point. I don't know that I really want them back as such.
Me too! I like lazy yet pretty, and I can't wear long dresses IRL so I go a little overboard with the pixelated versions. high fives I freak out too, though - took me three rounds through all my hair to settle on this one, and it always seems to come out worse than I think it is, yanno?
Oh, whew. I'm glad there's time for everyone to find the best fit! Man, now I wanna go play me some Phoenix Wright again. I...you know, you're right, there's always room for some indolently wealthy observer, although I dunno, I kind of like feeling useful.
Oooo stenographer. I could make up my own shorthand, even, that's a lovely idea. shiny eyes
Oh I have a query: will there be three juries, one for each cash or is this handled in the Federal manner with just one jury for all three case? Would love to be a juror either way!
lol XD Ooh, you could be Madame Stenographer! ....Yesh, there has to be a "Madame" in front of it XD
Excellent question! ^_^ I was thinking I would handle it the Federal way, with one jury for all three of the cases. Hm, but some people might want to only be a juror for a certain one, so I shall put an "opt out" and case-choosing option. Hm...perhaps even a "filler-juror option, as some cases have in rl.~
You were made a Juror, dear ^_^ Do you want it to be for all three, or a specific case?
[Dance=Lariel]
Madame Stenographer? Sold! I'll go commission a lovely inlaid gold and mother of pearl stenographer's keyboard and brush up on my typing speed while I'm away!
(Don't know if the stenographer can fill in as a jury member, but if you need to plug a hole, I'd be glad to help out!)
gasps That keyboard sounds fabulous! Yes, you MUST have it made! It will be the only one of its kind! Ooh, and thank you dear~
[Dance=Lariel]
Greetings fair lady. :) So we must present our persons to the court this time? How delightfully scandalous! :D I'd love to play a role as a juror please. :) While I confess I'm a bit biased to the evil ways of , perhaps some handsome knight could come along and sway my opinion. :D
Ooh, juror it is, Fair Lady! Be as biased towards her as you wanty.....they may restart that harvesting thingy this year, and I'm sure you will be on her list of people to harvest XD She has Lady 's parts in a jar somewhere.
[Dance=Lariel]
See...Besides those parts are like a year old now. They def can't be put back in. So I am sure being kept on display is best. Here I will permit you access to visiting them.
Oh really?! MY evil ways. I think you have me confused with ...She ate you, not me.
