[ For those who want an action post, you’ll find Terezi in the gardens acting out an intense COURTBLOCK DRAMA with a variety of colorful Scalemates. The stage: a courtroom, with an imposing chalk-doodle on a tree serving as the PRIME ADJUDICATOR. Terezi is the prosecution and executioner, as emphasized by nooses hanging from the surrounding trees.

fighting for her client
wearing sexy miniskirts and being self-reliant.
Okay not really, but she is still fun to watch. So, Jade sits and observes until the trial is over. Do you hear that? It's Jade, clapping for JUSTICE. ]
Yaaay!

She turns (dramatically), pointing her dragonheaded cane in Jade's general direction (also dramatically). ]
Our lead witness for the next session has arrived. Lady Citrusjoy, do you have any reservations before we begin?
Reply
She is Lady Citrusjoy. She giggles and plays along, getting up off the ground. ]
None at all Madam!

Terezi "examines" the courtroom, nudging a few Scalemates into the perfect positions.
Okay, good?
Yeah, good.
The stage is set. ]
Court is now in session!
[ Terezi approaches, gives a slight bow, and then guides Jade to a box set up by the HIS MOST HONORABLE TYRANNY tree. ]
I want you to give the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Is that understood?
Reply
I, Lady Citrusjoy, promise to only speak the truth!

Alright. [ Grin. ]
Let's have some justice!
[ She finally pulls away, spreading her arms in a dramatic gesture and begins addressing the "audience." ]
Ladies and gentlemen, before us today is the miserable case of Mr. Cherrybreath.
On the 11th bilunar perigee of the 4th light season's equinox, this deviant was hungry. But, no! Ladies and gentlemen! It wasn't for food! It wasn't for glory or even power! It was for wealth. Wealth that did not belong to him.
[ She points dramatically at the offender. ]
He wanted all the wealth! All of it! That's why he broke into the Empress' castlehive and stole the royal jewels! He thought he could get away with it too!
[ She turns, back to the audience, voice low. ]
However...
There was a single witness to this crime.
[ Step, step, step. Terezi approaches Jade.Lady Citrusjoy, tell His Most Honorable ( ... )

Well I was on my way to visit a good friend of mine, that would be The Empress, when someone ran toward me! He was in such a hurry that he almost knocked me down. It was awful. Just awful. He was also carrying a suspicious looking bag in his arms.
[ She glares at Mr. Cherrybreath. You can almost see (or smell) the guilt in his cute little button eyes. ]
When I entered the castle I found out the jewels had just been stolen.

Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Why were you in such a hurry that day, Mr. Cherrybreath?
[ Terezi leans intimidatingly over the Scalemate. She keeps this pose, completely silent, for five minutes. Redglare would be proud. ]
Reply
Obviously he was running from the scene of the crime!!
[ She points an accusing finger at the guilty scalemate. ]
Reply
Okay, we're good. ]
Obviously. But there's still one thing we must discover: where are the jewels now?
[ If Jade's perceptive enough, she might notice a bag sitting in the HIS MOST HONORABLE TYRANNY tree. If not, it'll fall down sometime during the next five minutes of silence as Terezi stares down Cherrybreath. ]

Jade gasps and the audience goes wild. This criminal is a bold one indeed. Only a daredevil would place the only physical evidence in the courtroom itself. Well played Cherrybreath.
Well played. ]

But Justice is sharp, and Cherrybreath's wit is a dulled blade in comparison. Like a bear fishing for salmon, Terezi pounces on those jewels and holds them aloft to the shocked audience.
A few Skittles might fall out. Because that's what's in the bag. ]
THE JEWELS! TAINTED WITH DECEIT AND CONTEMPT FOR THE COURT OF LAW! CHERRYBREATH HANGS NOW!
[ And with that dramatic proclamation, Terezi strings 'em up. Thus ends Mr. Cherrybreath. Justice is served. ]
Reply
[You'll have to excuse her. She is not aware that Terezi is to be called Redglare in the courtroom. She claps for her once more. Rping is pretty fun!
Except there is that lingering hope that Alternian Court isn't as... brutal as this. ]
Reply
Drool. Everywhere.
But she's not a savage. She's got enough decency to offer Jade some. ]

Taste the rainbow. Taste the justice. Jade eats the green ones first. ]
So what now? The criminal has been successfully prosecuted!
