Chapter 3 : Court Order! (Not)

The Courtroom materialised in front of her eyes* (and in front of the cage mesh, of course)
The judge was a woman. And the jury was made up of four men, and four women (which is a weird thing, in the case should they come up with a 50-50 agreement, but then again, in the UnderCity City of LesBif court, the chances of that happening is about the chances that Socrategoras, the great Greek Philosopher skiing down Mount Everest on his head in a second, which was never, since Socrategoras has been dead, and his body trampled upon the many Greek and Roman sandals of time, in his grave, of course)
Once the court room finished materialising (it had to finish, as it was materialising an atom at a time), the Judge, whom we shall call Judge Yduj (as opposed to Judge Judy, and is pronounced YEE-DOOGE)picked up her notes from the table and started speaking.
"Yoriko Noda, aged 16, is found guilty of trying to escape being a kidnap victim. For this, I sentence her to lifetime slavery in the UnderCity City of LesBif." She said in a clear voice.
"Wait! I did not even get trial! And there is nothing wrong with escaping a kidnapper!" Yoriko cried in indignance. She slammed her fists on the doorless mesh-cage, causing it to shake
"I demand equal rights, and a fair trial!" She continued shouting
"Oh well, I suppose this has to come to pass, but we've been through this already. Alright. Let the trials begin. Yoriko Noda shall represent herself, pro se" Judge Yduj sighed.
"Will the Prosecution state their case?" the Judge asked

"Yes, your honor, of high disembowelment and high praises" said a rather squeky man sitted on a table, wearing a silly bowler hat that looks as though it was made of hair
And he read the prosecutory statement, whatever that may be.






* Actually, in front of her eyes would not be a good description. around the cage would have served a better description
