Mia got to the end of her pep talk to the assembled Defense Team. "And what do we do when the witnesses give us testimony?"
"Press them! Press them! Press them!" came the chant from Phoenix and Apollo (and Maya, Pearl, and Trucy, due to a spirit of united enthusiasm).
"My motto exactly," Kyouraku Shunsui said, drifting past in a haze of alcohol fumes. "Speaking of which, beautiful lady --"
"Sir," Ise Nanao said with tooth-grittingly weary patience, "Ukitake-taichou is waiting for you."
"He can wait," Kyouraku said, inclining towards Mia's bosom.
"With a bottle of wine."
"Till later, beautiful lady," Kyouraku said, sweeping a bow before vanishing at the speed of light.
"Well," Mia said, rearranging her hair. "Did he try that on Franziska von Karma?"
"Yes," Nanao said. "Excellent whip technique. The Shinigami Women's Association has booked a demonstration."

Over on the Prosecuting Team, von Karma was delivering a final address on how he expected a sentence within ten minutes, fifteen at the very most, that any failure was due to the malignant incompetence of the defense attorneys, and that if he had been allowed to handle this solo (as indeed he should have been) then Hitsugaya Toushirou would currently be begging for mercy from the condemned cell.
"Assuming he did it," Edgeworth said.
"Assuming that Herr Whitey did indeed do it," Klavier said.
"Assuming that the foolish fool is in fact guilty and is not wilfully obfuscating the evidence for some unknown but foolish reason," Franziska said.
"Assuming that the coffee doesn't stop coming," Godot said.
Von Karma snapped his fingers. The diagrammed pages on his presentation whiteboard fluttered. "Let us go out there and procure judgement. Now."

Yamamoto rapped on the bench with his staff. "Today we are here to find the criminal who murdered Aizen Sousuke, Captain of the Fifth Division. Currently accused is -- is --"
He peered.
"Where is Hitsugaya Toushirou?"
A hand poked above the parapet of the witness stand.
"Ah. Will someone please put a box in there for Hitsugaya Toushirou to stand on?"
Hitsugaya rose above the parapet, face twisted in a hideous frown that promised ice ages for the entire courtroom.
"Thank you. Currently accused is Hitsugaya Toushirou, Captain of the Tenth Division. The Prosecuting Team may present evidence. Courtroom procedures will be followed strictly. Anybody attempting to interrupt will be . . ." Yamamoto paused to consult the list of instructions he'd received from the Chamber of 46. "Suppressed by Second Division ninjas and then handed over to the Twelfth Division for experimentation."
Kurotsuchi Mayuri was the only one applauding.

"I don't remember that being part of the standard trial methodology," Apollo muttered to Phoenix.
"I don't remember it in our briefing either," Phoenix muttered back.
---
"I want my own ninjas," Franziska whispered to Edgeworth.
"They would be useful," Edgeworth agreed.
---
"Are you sure that giving Matsumoto so much alcohol is a good idea?" Ukitake murmured in Kyouraku's ear.
"If we're lucky she'll get drunk before they call on her to testify," Kyouraku murmured back.
"And if we're not lucky?"
"Then she'll testify."
"Here's some more wine."
