##Start of Part 2
District Courthouse, Defense Lobby.
2:53 pm.
Eljay: Oh, what am I gonna do? Alena’s gonna go up there, and you’re gonna pin the blame on her! She didn’t do anything, Kahi! Anything!
Kahi: I’m not so sure about that, Eljay. Think of the facts: she was the only one to have killed Pot8o.
Eljay: Why would she kill him, though? There’s no reason she would!
Kahi: That I don’t know the answer to. Perhaps new facts will be brought up during the trial. Only time will tell.
Eljay: You’d better be right. Alena can’t be the culprit! I know she isn’t!
Cronk: I have good news for you, Kahi. Varponok is doing well in the hospital.
Kahi: Oh gosh, I hoped he would. Did you tell him on how I was doing during the trial?
Cronk: I barely watched the rest after I was on. I was visiting Varponok. Oh, but he did tell me to bring you these things.
Kahi: What is it?
Cronk: Evidence and his notes. Crucial evidence.
Kahi: Can I see it?
Cronk: Sure, here.
Cronk: This is a picture of the building a minute before the incident.
Varponok’s Notes:
-Pot8o was acting strangely the day before the crime, as he was messing around in the TTV building, located in the storage room.
-Workers there seemed bewildered that Pot8o was acting all strangely.
-According to his background, Pot8o used to be a master thief, but after a few years in prison, he’s trying to recover.
Cronk: If you need more evidence, let me know. I might have some more.
Cronk: There’s the problem with that: it’s all been mysteriously erased. We don’t know why.
Cronk: Pot8o was a master of disguise, often hiding in potato bags in cafeterias in order to steal basic money at any workplace. However, he plight ended when he tried to steal the prized BZP Diamond. He was caught by BZP admins, however, and was sent to prison for 7 years. That was when he decided to reform his life and hang around the TTV Message Boards.
Cronk: That’s also the problem. There were not really ANY eye-witnesses, at least none I could find. However, I do know that prosecutor Slime has some interviews with some of the workers, so watch out for that.
Cronk: The site was actually the building next to it, actually. Although, the body COULD have been moved.
Look at the picture.
Cronk: We didn’t get reports of any.
Kahi: (I wonder why…)
Cronk: Nope, although, this picture may interest you:
Cronk: We found this at the 5th floor of the TTV office building. Here’s a map of it, in case you were wondering.
Cronk: It is confirmed that it is the body of Pot8o. Although, I can add something to the autopsy. We found a fair amount of salt inside of him, which is strange.
Cronk: Not really. We inspected the car. Nothing of importance in there.
Bailiff: Alright, everyone. Time to come back inside.
Cronk: Well, Kahi. See you in the courtroom.

#BANG BANG
Venom: Alright, let’s get down to business. No more interruptions from any of you people, you hear?
Slime: Understood, your honor.
Venom: Alright, then. Let’s not waste any time. Slime, would you like to continue with our current witness.
Slime: I feel as if we have everything we can get out of him, your honor. Instead, I would like to bring up our final witness, Alena.
Alena: Why, hello, everyone.
Judge Venom: My my! What a lovely lady we have here! So delicate and sweet…
Slime: Yes, very delicate. In fact, a little too delicate, especially for the defense’s harsh questioning.
Venom: Hmph. Defense!
Kahi: Yes, your honor?
Venom: I do not wish for you to be too harsh on this witness. You understand me?
Kahi: Uh, sure, your honor.
Alena: Before we jump to futile questions, can we please start the cross examination so I can say my testimony?
Venom: Why, of course! Kahi! Don’t start your questioning until I TELL you to!
Kahi: Understood. (I hate my life at times.)
Alena: Let me get everything cleared up right now: I never drove Eljay’s car. You know why? Because I was at work the whole time. I can prove it.
At work, I had to borrow Eljay’s phone because our office wants us being professional, and so we have to use phone without games. That’s why I gave it to Eljay, so he could enjoy himself, and I used his phone.
I went to work around 3:26 PM, so that’s when the trade off happened. Eljay did message me a few times before the trade off happened, but I mostly ignored the calls. Eljay gets a bit impatient at times.
Anyways, I was all alone during that time at the office, because the other members of the cast were throwing a party for Marde Gras or whatever. Don’t quote me on that.
It was around 3:35 when I heard a skidding sound. It was Eljay’s car. He had accidentally ran over some potato or whatever.
Does that clear everything up?
Alena: I work at the TTV building, of course!
#SLAM
Kahi: That’s funny, Alena, because according to the context of these texts, it shows that you were not in the building at the time!
Kahi: “Look, are you going to be on the podcast or not? You haven’t shown up yet. It’s frustrating me.” That was a message from my boss. Alena, I know he’s an honest, hard working man.
Alena: Of course he wouldn’t know I was there. He was celebrating Mardi Gras with the other cast members, remember? He would have no idea I came into the building.
Alena: Well, that’s just rude. You quoted me saying that.
Venom: Kahi… Watch what you’re doing.
Alena: I have a card from work that proves it.
Alena’s Working hours for July 5th:
-3:26 pm ~ 4: 03 pm.
Kahi: Alena, you strait up lied to the court. How could the TTV crew be celebrating Mardi Gras…
WHEN IT WAS ON FEBRUARY 17TH THIS YEAR!
Venom: Oh my! I overlooked that!
Alena: …
Kahi: ?
Alena: …
Slime: Uh, Alena? Why are you looking at us like that?
Alena: He’s taunting me… I don’t like it when he taunts me.
Kahi: I don’t care if I’m taunting you, it’s my job. You know, the thing you were NOT at on July 5th!
Alena: OH! That does it you- …
Kahi: ?
Alena: I apologize. It’s just when I’m… Taunted, I get a bit fisty. That’s all.
Venom: Apology is accepted, Miss. Alena. As for Kahi, what do you mean by this?
Kahi: My point is, since Mardi Gras is not celebrated on July 5th, her point is highly invalid, and Varponok’s message means something else.
Slime: Hah! I knew I’d catch you up on a detail sometime! What day did that message Varponok come from? July 14th, Mr. Kahi. July 14th. Therefore, Var’s message doesn’t work!
Kahi: (What? Did I mess up over something?)
Kahi: Checking over the facts, Slime, it turns out that YOU are wrong! In fact, this piece of evidence Alena gave me is WRONG!
Slime: WHAT!?
Kahi: Remember back to Eljay’s and Chronicler’s testimonies. All the facts say that the murder occurred on July 14th, NOT the 5th!
Slime: What?
Alena: …
Kahi: Well, Alena? Are you gonna give me the right card or NOT!?
Venom: Kahi, I don’t want to use my gavel for you. Please, ask her NICELY.
Kahi: Your honor, I’m accusing Miss. Alena of MURDER. I refuse to treat her nicely if she’s gonna manipulate you and the prosecution!
Venom: Don’t you DARE try my gavel, young man. This misstep does NOT mean she’s a murderer!
Kahi: (Ohoho… I so want to prove him wrong…)
Kahi: Your honor! You’re being played by her sweetness!
Venom: How dare you accuse me-
#SLAM!
Kahi: Just listen here! the facts simply don’t add up. We have absolutely no real evidence of where the witness or the defendant were that day. There’s more to this case than meets the eye, we can’t let feelings get in the way of justice. We must investigate all possibilities in order to find the truth, and as a defense attorney…
Kahi: …I intend to do just that.
Venom: …
Alena: So… I’m a manipulative idiot, am I? OH YEAH!? THEN PROVE THAT I KILLED POT8O! WHY WOULD I KILL HIM! WHY WHY WHY!!!
