        innocence.    ❛   — it is a complicated matter.   ❜   HE  ,  deliverer of justice   ;   sword never sheathed.   six million years for this moment.   six million years for the trial    ,    the verdict    ,   the sentence.   the broken crown his enemy wore buried with the rest of the pariahs burnt at the stake.     and yet   ,   who would he be to not extend a hand of mercy   ?   was the pain he felt    ( in the BEGINNING of the end )   not that of HIS   ,   too   ?     ❛  –  you imply that you are aware of the crimes he has committed, and yet you still seek to defend him in court    ?    ❜

[lawtheory]

( lethal indifference ; it’s innate, it’s conditioned. one does things not for the sake of morality but for the sake of fame -- sure, justice & mercy are two things she knows like the back of her hand, but is there any true sentiment to them within her recognition? likely not, as victory is always a step higher than ethics. his words elicit a sort of scoff, dagger bound, harsh like all things about her are. arms fold across her chest, & her chin lifts upward, a haughty gesture, & her gaze simmers upon the other, raking at his features, seeking a sort of understanding of things. )

❛ similar to a sentiment john adams once held, all sentient beings are entitled to a fair trial. is it wrong of me to reason that any member of your species will be fairly incapable of securing that? ❜

       he folds his hands   ,   the air circulating through vents bordering something of EXASPERATION.    it has been a long day.    ❛   though i am capable of sympathizing with your interest in this case  ,   the defendant already HAS an attorney assigned.    –    nonetheless   ,    i do not believe it to be in public interest for someone not of our race to be representing one our own   ,    especially under the   …   circumstances* given.     ❜

( you’ll see in her a sort of agitation ; flaring at the edges. she shifts her stance, heels clicking loudly & pointedly against the flooring, echoing in their own way, as though they had their own statements to make. she hates that she has to look up to the other, & so, after a few moments, she doesn’t, & allows her gaze to settle elsewhere, perhaps at her useless watch, at her phone. when she’s certain that the behemoth has finished speaking, she looks back up at him, sigh upon her lips like delicacy, her eyes -- a picture of irritation & disappointment, but -- upon her features, the fabrication of understanding.  )

❛ truthfully, i believe it may be more appropriate that someone outside of your species conduct this trial, let alone represent for him. you understand the intergalactic implications of this, yes? ( a stark pause in her speech, a shift in her ambience ; from intent conscious to blatant apathy. ) --- nonetheless, whatever, i doubt you’d want to see him walk out of this innocent. ❜

        funny to have to hear that. There was so much space around them yet the other was insisting of asking her to move. selfish. rude. careless. her head then bends on the side, a hand gesture given to the open space beside her. there was sarcasm in her tone, along with a forceful yet hyperbole of a smile on features.

‘ can you pass the other way?’

[lawtheory]

( what’s the reason for this antagonism? truly, there is none. simply an agitation & aggravation & the dire, underlying instinct to fight her way out. there’s a reason why her nails are sharp & painted red. her smile continues, dribbled across her features like sticky blood. she shows teeth, white, beautiful ; new & sharp, she’ll cut you. sharp edges & no reserve for kindness. )

❛ i could. unfortunately, i don’t want to. now, move. ❜

aerbound: 

      ` ——how’s it going ?” 

the statement proffered without thought ; she does not seem to mind the sudden pause en route her destination. there was no need to rush nor to hurry. departure will be held off until her arrival.  

       for once, a brief calm in war before the next move is made—and she’ll take it.

❛ terribly, if you must know. ❜

( a pause. even in her utter situation of being completely & terribly lost, she has the audacity to be terse. there’s something of a slow inhale, of eyes flitting to focus on the stranger. a thought passes through her mind & she decides it could be worth the while to ask. )

❛ this might come off a bit odd -- but, which planet are we on? ❜

[lawtheory]

( perhaps you’ll notice the way jennifer bittman definitely doesn’t care to be here ; of course, one might consider it an honor to be contacted by the first order of all ‘organizations’ -- governments? rebellious groups?. nonetheless, it’s fairly tedious, & the heavy inclination towards order is incredibly agitating. she should’ve seen it coming, though. first order, & all. regardless, she attempts, at least, to be something presentable & respectful. )

❛ general -- kron, is it? ❜

  she may have been new in town, she may have lack of enthusiasm though her eyes said otherwise. amber eyes were one to look closely at, if one could see how she truly was inside then their opinion of her would say be different to others. then a voice came up from behind her, stranger’s figure was intimidating ( even more than she actually is. ) , thus Cinder’s features didn’t bother to change.

‘ yes? ’

[lawtheory]

( sick, sick plastered smiles blossom upon hostile features. her head cants to the side -- a slight gesture of condescension, & she simply rests in that silence for a few, theatric moments, before she withdraws & lips part, a hesitation for the dramatic sake, & allows something of a sigh to depart. her gaze lingers to the ground, before rising once more & meeting the other’s. )

❛ can you move? ❜

[bitchsnake-deactivated20160315]

IT IS THE CURDLE OF HEELS against linoleum   ——   a stark   & rancid sound , that divulges her attention .   hollow gaze lifts ,  watches with an innocuous wonder .    mouth preened to form a smile from where she stood across the rack .       ❛       ———   tha’s a lovely skirt ,    ma’am .   tried it on earlier . couldn’t get it over the thighs ,    but bet you’d look    WONDERFUL   in it .       ❜   

[lawtheory]

( a pleasant surprise, really ; this uninvited conversation leads to an unwarranted, but appreciated sentiment & quite frankly, she won’t complain. the start of a smile pulls at her lips, & they curl outwards & upwards, minutely so, but nonetheless to indicate some sort of amusement & contentment. )

❛ --- why, thank you. ❜

[lawtheory]

( there’s the beginning of a smile on her face. perhaps it’s not meant to be genuine or particularly fond, but it’s lacking in any sort of patronizing quality. her hands make their way in front of her, settling to intertwine, & she speaks, --- & there it is. that patronizing quality, but at least it’s mostly subtle. )

❛ hello, mr. specter. ❜

( heels click against the tile flooring of the shop, obnoxiously loudly, as though she’s intentionally making that much noise -- & she is. she’s filtering through the racks of clothing, eyes flicking for something that had caught her eye online, but wanted to try before she purchased. & finally, she comes to a point where she thinks she sees it. a hand reaches out, aiming for the hanger that it’s clipped on to. to herself, she smiles. )

❛ finally. ❜

[lawtheory]

( earth sucks ; the only good thing about it is the oddity of the cases she gets to pick up. so, it’s great to have some time when she’s not on earth. -- but, it’s also great to know where you are, & she doesn’t have that privilege at the moment. she’s lost. how do you get lost on a planet basis? )

❛ fuck. ❜

@aerbound - ♥’d.

[lawtheory]

( there’s a certain sort of apathy on her features ; though, honestly, if one were to carefully examine her expression, it’s more of something forced to be apathetic, because it actually bothers her. & thus, there remains a stilted sort of smile, plastered about her features, & a clip in her voice as she decides to get out of there. ) 

❛ excuse me. ❜ 

( there’s something fairly rude to the way she says that. )

@fatedstone. - ♥’d.

[lawtheory]

( she might be staring at him. or maybe at the clock somewhat behind his head. regardless, she’s staring at his general direction & maybe, it’s getting a bit weird. --- it’s ... definitely getting a bit weird, but she’s desperately trying to catch the time without having to stare at his forehead. )

JENNIFER BITTMAN - DEFENSE ATTORNEY (viciously, kind of angry, but also exasperated) Your Honor, did you hear that? Did you hear what kind of nonsense he was spewing? This is pathetic! — Listen, his statements are so transparent that I could see through them with a *expletive* blindfold on.

                  ❛      hey, uh ———- what the fuck ?     ❜

[lawtheory]

( she simply stares back with quite the smug look on her face, but if you ask her again, she’d probably say something along the lines of excuse me? & watch your language, please. )
