[QUOTE="Coik, post: 657319, member: 38"] "The prosecution calls it's first witness." [I]A cute little lop rabbit with one of its forepaws in a sling limps into the witness box. It produces a copy of the Principia Discorida, hands it to the bailif, and swears on it.[/I] "Now then," begins the prosecutor "Please state your name for the record." The rabbit says "Coik." After a pause, the prosecutor asks "Coik what?" "Just Coik." "Ah, I see. Mr. Coik, will you please state your occupation?" "I am a professional Ambulatory Cuddly Woodland Critter." "What does your job entail?" "Hopping through the forest, staring inquisitivly at patrons while on my hind legs, and wrinkling my nose in an adorable fasion." "Tell me, how did your forepaw come to be broken?" "Well, I was out working one day in the Radruundar vicinity when I heard voices. Thinking them to be possible patrons, I approached the voices, and found them to be the defendents in a clearing. After observing them momentarily, I began washing my ears in a cute way." "Could you demonstrate that, please?" "Ummm...no. My paw, you see." "Yes. Please, contiune." "Well, when they saw me, the defendents seemed quite pleased. As that was not a unusual reaction, I approached them. Suddenly, the elven woman...the same one who just disrupted the precedings...cast a spell at me, paralyzing me. Then the one with the overly large sword grabbed me and dragged me towards them. When we reached his companions, he grabbed my forepaw, and the defendent with all the buckles told me that, if I didn't tell them where Radruundar was, they would break it." "And did you?" "Not at first, but then the fighter began twisting my arm, so I finally gave them the directions they wanted, just to stop the pain." "And then what happened?" "The fighter broke my forepaw anyway. And kicked me as he walked away." [I]A gasp goes up from the audience[/I] "I see. Have you been able to work since this incident?" "No. I'm out on medical leave, and will be for at least the next two weeks." "How often must you see a doctor?" "At least once a week, since I can't afford magial healing. To get salves to rub on it to reduce the pain and swelling, mostly." "How severe is the pain?" "Extremely severe, even with the medicine. I'm in near-constant physical and mental pain." "Could you put a dollar amount on all these woes?" "Not really...there's just so much..." "Thank you. No further questions, your honors." [/QUOTE]
