Remi nods politely. "Good luck."
Remi is surprised internally but is composed enough to avoid showing it. He moves to the stand.

The Judge stares down at you from his podium "State your name and profession to the court."
After Remi's reaction the Judge follows up with "So, if you please, could you tell us what happend on [I don't know the date lets assume he says it, shall we?] from your point of view? Remember that you are under oath..."
The court room is silent

"Sir, my name is Remi Lorenzo. I am a lawyer. However, I will have to...introduce someone else for my testimony. I have recently participated in a revolutionary experiment that has bound another being to my body. He will have to give testimony if we wish to have the whole story."
You onboard with this?
Certainly. I'll include a slight visual shift, just to persuade them it's me who's speaking.
"Is this fine with the honorable judge?"

The Judge raises his brow and says "I heard of this...experiment. To be more exact, it is the very experiment Reginald Cacassi is accused of interfering with." The Judge looks at him through the corner of his eye. "So, Lawyer Remi Lorenzo, continue."
Nick got bored with his current experiments with NPCs (Nick's Perfect Creations) to populate his ever expanding subterranean kingdom, and decided to see what the others are doing.
The space beside Mina warps a bit before depositing Nick in his own super-extravagant chair (only reason it's not a Throne, is because it's small). He stage whispers (he doesn't really know how to actually whisper) to Mina "Hey, what're we doing in court? Are you being arrested?" As a result of his recent self-isolation building super-secret bases and giant armies, he has no idea what was going on, nor does he know about the events that happened prior to his Binding.

Grandma Cacassi smirks "Impressive child, the defense spells around here are rather impressive. Not the most powerful there is but not childs play to break either...granted it is a bit more literal in your case." Sarah Cacassi smiles "Watchout where you drop that thing child, you could have crushed someone."
Grandma Cacassi whipsers to Mina "And you should watch out what you say, where in public afteral." Sarah winks.
"Back on Topic, it is very rude not introduce yourself, although I myself have commited that sin aswel. I am Sarah Helena Cacassi, we are currently in court for the trail of the human dumbster I call a grandson." She stretches her hand out to Nick.
I find it prudent to remember you that Sarah Cacassi does not look like she should have a grandson Reginalds age. I wonder how Nick would react to that.
"I saw there was no-one there. Could have made room if there was." He shrugged.
He meets her hand with his own, giving it a lively shake. "I'm The Guy! Coolest dude around and general person in charge! Nice to meet you." He pauses for a moment, registering what she said. "Wait, you're no Grandma. Grandmas are really wrinkly and bent over and stuff. With white hair!"

"Alright. So, I was awakened in the test chabmber by a lab assistant of the Doctor Hematite. After several minutes of conversation, myself and several other subjects moved to the break room for an impromptu meeting with Doctor Hematite. Then, my Bound, who will take over at this point, warned me of the falsified evidence."
Remi's eyes turn Red.
His body shakes itself out quickly, and adopts a smile that seems to be made of pure teeth. "So nice to be in control of a physical form again. As my partner was saying, I warned him of the evidence using my extra-dimensional knowledge, as well as some helpful tips from the Wordsmith. The evidence I was informed of consisted of a Red Star emblem, a blank book entitled Down with the Neo-Aristocracy, and a book that is a poorly faked journal that purports to be the Red Star Journal of the Good Doctor. I was aware of the culprit, but Doctor Hematite stated his name first. It was undoubtedly Cacassi."
Remi resumes control of his own body and his eyes return to their normal shade. "Then, I informed Doctor Hematite of the obvious falseness of the evidence against him and did nothing further in the matter."

"Nick here is a rude little boy, I'd pay no mind to it if I were you. He also won't stay dead, so don't bother with trying to make him go away." This is said too quietly for Nick to hear. "I've been speaking quietly enough that the topic of discussion shouldn't notice--and if he does, I have an idea on how to shut him up before he can tell anyone."
She sticks out her pinky, turning it into a nasty-looking, spiky little worm. "Organ shredder. Threaten someone thus and . . . well, I think they'll be good."

Mr.Marly blinks Bob knew Reginald Cacassi was an idiot, but Bob just realised how moronic Reginald is "Thank you mr...entity. However, I have a question for you. Mr.Cacassi was found out to be sabotaging Dr.Hematite, however...nobody knows how. When asked the investigators did not know why they knew Mr.Cacassi was sabotaging, just that he did. The idea just dropped on them as by an outside force...would it be a stretch to assume you or your compatriots have caused this arrest?" Bob asks calmly He is actually just curious. After this he is going to throw Cacassi under the bus while trying to look like an underdog fighting for whats right.
Grandma Cacassi blinks and says "You say Nick here is rude, however he has been as polite as one can expect from a child. You on the other hand, have been very rude for a child, not introducing yourself and keeping talking about murder in polite company. Very rude if you ask me." Sarah smiles
Grandma Cacassi laughs "Wel hello their little guy, I am Sarah Cacassi. Some people call me death general, but you can call me Granny if you wish so. As for why I am not wrinkly, wel you know about the liquid arts correct? I am quite skilled in it. This allows me many handy little trick, from staying young to-" Granny fold her hands, when she opens them she reveal a little red bird. It flies up and sits on Nicks head "-to creating live. I got where I am through dedication however. To be great, one must work for it." Sarah scowls "Something that wretch over their has never learned and..." Sarah blinks as The Masked Reader takes over for Remi "That is odd...his voiced has not changed much but he feels differant...mrh." Grandma Cacassi stares and Remi, clearly trying to figure something out, aswel throwing some looks at Mina and Nick "Say Nick...you know Erwin Hematite, correct?" Sarah is not sure how she feels about putting an eldritch beast in the brain of a child.

Sarah Cacassi smiles "Wel I am not expecting you to introduce yourself like the Pentergast let me Tell you that much. Lets just start bij making you introduce yourself as, novel concept, yourself?" Sarah smiles "Just a name to call you, if possible." I needed a figure from Feistens culture So I made the Pentergeist. What his role is not really matter.

"For now you can call me Lavina Fey." She holds out a hand--with her real name written on it. "It's a pleasure.
"Now it's probably best if we go back to watching for a bit, hmm?"
"Yeah." He answered absentmindedly, having folded his hands as well after Grandma's demonstration, and appearing to focus on it intently. After a few more moments, he opened them, and revealed his own blue bird. He smiled widely, and it hopped out of his hand onto his knee. Then he flousished his hands, instantly making two more, one in each. Happily he said "I can do that too."

Remi's eyes return to the red color. "I cannot speak for my comrades. However, I do remember that one of them spoke to his host, then to the Wordsmith, before the Wordsmith reaching a metaphorical hand down to touch the minds of some mortals. I believe that it was the investigators. In other words, the arrest could be considered...an act of God? That is what you call them, right?" Remi returns to a normal eye color. "Does that answer your question, sir?" He looks slightly amused.

Sarah smiles broadly "Indeed miss fey, we wouldn't want to miss the best parts, wouldn't we?" Sarah whispers 'Fey huh? Not very subtle there...' Sarah chuckles softly.
Sarah smiles at Nick "Impressive...however, they don't seem very...alive." Sarah looks at the 4 birds, Sarahs red bird jumping around a little before flying off, while Nicks birds all act the same, hopping around a little "It seems you need a little more pratice. However, at your age this very impressive." Sarah's smile strains "Granted, most of that would be the being in your head...helping you a little. All of my skill was earned young one, hard work is the most rewarding in the end, is not?" Sarah asks with a smile before looking at the stage "But lets watch the rest of this trail..." Sarah trails off.
Bob stares and coughs in his hand "Not be rude...but no, it doesn't, not by a long shot." Bob shakes his head "This sounds all quite...ridiculous actualy.
Dennis seems less then happy Dennis is very devout Folhartist...he doesn't approve of the worship of the wordsmith...worldsmith...however you want to spell it
Bob continues "Ridicilous...and fake. Dear honourable judge and people of Feisten...an act of god seems rather unlikely to me. However, Dr.Hematitte is a mad genius. What isn't to say he just gave mr.Lorenzo powers and some fancy voice work to sell the idea of these ESH'VEE to get the grant? Quite suspicous if you ask me." Bob is getting pulled into the narative, bobs higher brain functions are screaming at him to stop making sense and take the fall already "What do you have to say to that, Mr.Lorenzo?" Bob asks.

"Sir, there is an easy solution for this."
Is that Grandma Cacassi in the audience? OH HO HO! I think we have the perfect lie detector on hand, and it looks like our chums have decided to buddy up with her.
"I foresaw that this would eventually come under question, and I have several rebuttals! First off, I will ask permission for some of my rebuttals, Judge. Would you mind if I brought forth other people involved in this experiment to prove the veracity of my statement? I can point them out in the audience for you." He points to Mina and Nick. "And, if possible, I would like to ask the revered Cacassi family member herself, Sarah Cacassi to serve as a further identifier of my truthfulness. In my understanding of the extent of her powers, it would be trivial for her to tell if I am lying or telling the truth, through my own biology."
"What being?" Nick asked in confusion. "I figured out my powers myself." He said with a bit of indignation, not liking his (few) achievements being discredited. "I didn't even clone your bird, I built it from scratch."

Sarah cuckles "A shame that."
Sarah blinks and then says "I am sorry Nick, that was rude of me. Making a bird is very impressive. However, what I am trying to say is." Sarah bits her lip shortly before saying "I starting from nothing and became able to create life and raise the dead. This is your starting point, imagine what wonderful you can achieve if you work hard. I am not trying to descredit you boy. I am just saying that you have a long live ahead of you and if you keep training, you can be more wonderful at my age then I am." Sarah ssays
The Judge clsoes his eyes and shakes his head "I can't allow sarah Cacassi to check the validity of the statesment pertaining her grandson, that is to much of a possible conflict of interres." The Judge knows Grandma Cacassi hates Reginald, but he legally cannot allow it. "However, if these other bound so choose, they can testify, aswel." Ofcourse Mina is pretending to be a normal person, which you kind of messed up, probally.
Mr.Morris looks at Mina/Lavina from the balcony, clearly a little nervous that the woman who's bum he slapped can probally kill him.
Ofcourse, unkown to him she is planning to do so, oh whale

Mina shrugs. What's one false face, more or less?
She casually pushes past that idiot Morris, leaving behind a scrap of herself that will ensure he's a good boy from now on, and steps up to the Judge. "He speaks the truth." A moment later a housecat is looking at him with the same eyes, its tail twitching.

Nick perks back up at her reassurances. "Yeah! I'm definitely gonna get even more awesome. Just you wait!" He stated with a wide smile.
Nick follows Mina to the front. "I have no idea what he's talking about. I don't have any ESH'VEE or whatever in my head. I do have awesome powers though." He said while flourishing his hand, creating a rather elegant kid-sized cane to lean on.

Remember, Mina's a shapeshifter, Nick's an immortal reality warper.
"Alright, so in order to allow this court full disclosure, as Nick here said, he doesn't necessarily have an Ess'Vee speaking directly to him. Most of us have various levels of connection with our Ess'Vee, ranging from outright possession, to nothing at all." Remi coughs. "Now, my position of argument is that, as this court should know, those colloquially known as Mad Geniuses have only one speciality. Now, my comrade has demonstrated one of her abilities, that of complete and utter biological control over her body. This young boy right here, which I can prove if this court allows it, is immortal, through means of resurrection after his death, and is an extremely powerful reality warper. I am able to summon a gun, which holds some...special properties, but I assume that this court would not allow me to draw a weapon. These powers? They have absolutely no connection to each other. Now, you might be saying that Doctor Hematite might be able to grant powers, but I ask you this in return, why on Earth would he grant them to a lawyer, a child, and a random woman? In short, it makes no logical sense that Dr. Hematite made these powers, and granted them to us, lying to literally everyone, rather than his actual specialty, which is extradimensional shenanigans, tying beings to our bodies, which granted us actual abilities. Mina, Nick, you can return to your seats for now, if you'd like. I apologize for using you as a visual aid."
Remi's eyes turn Red. His Cheshire Cat smile returns in full force.
"Now, I realize this might still seem utterly improbable. As such, I am opening myself up to questions, rather than Remi answering everything, to prove the truth of the matter." He turns to the lawyers. "Ask me anything you want about this, and I'll provide an answer, to the best of my ability. Remember, I'm possessing this body, so I'm not omniscient, at least right now. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so cross-examine me carefully."

Did you know I fucked up what Reginald was accused of? I didn't before hand. I am probally going to have to fuck with the quantum-time-continium matrix when I have the time.
Good thing That Darius can't hear me or he would be very confussed about ze technobabble.
Darius is checking his equipment and getting more ammo for the fancy gun he stole from Elizabeth, by the way.

Sarah smiles "That is the spirit!"
Bob's smile twinches a little Honestly he just wants to move on and get Cacassi declared guilty already, but Nick saying he has no Ees'Vee...he would look to incompitent if he did not captilize on that. "I am sorry but I have trouble believing that...this sounds like marketing. Like Doctor Hematitte prettying up his story. You are right that most mad genius have one focus...but what if that is enhancement for hematitte, to make people stronger? As for randomly choosing people...it was a risky operation was it not?" He knows that people died, but knows that bringing that up wil get him killed, thought of making a narative where Dr.Hematite brought up the Ees'Vee angle to get the funds and hide that he killed people through incompitence...but thought better of it. Dennis clears his voice "It matters none to us now if they have eldritch beings in their brain or not. What matters if their testimony." Dennis knows damn wel that Bob can make a good case for you guys lying or being insane, but won't. They both want Cacassi to be declared guilty afteral. "So lets just focus on the matter at hand...if the evidence was placed, who placed it?" Dennis asks Wants to move the story away from eldritch bullshit and towards a sensible sane subject.

"Honestly, this is what you ask an Eldritch being? Something I already answered? Again, look at his choice of a child! There is no shortage of able-bodied men or women he could recruit, and you are saying that this supposedly master liar and plooter, who would have fooled literally everyone from the government who ever talked to him, all his lab assistants, would rather have a child then someone who could actually fight? Also, there is more solid proof that his power can't be enhancement. Nick? Would you mind punching yourself? Also, one last thing. Remi has never seen the evidence in question."
"It was, without a doubt, a young lab assistant who physically planted the evidence. I, in all my extradimensional partial omniscience, saw it occur. However, again, extradimensional partial omniscience, means that I know it was Cacassi who ordered the crime."
TMR sighs. "Now, I realize this might cause some confusion, but it's more of a mix-up on my part, not on Remi's. You see, as an extradimensional being, I tend to perceive things differently, due to not really having a physical presence on your realm. For example, I consider the one who ordered the crime to be the culprit, rather than the physical perpetrator, and Remi, and by extension, his testimony, works off of my information. So, apologies for the mix-up."
