-Niko and Tris walk into a courtroom and take their seats and the defendant/ prosecutor podiums respectively-
Judge: *Is shrouded in shadow*
Cheesy narrator voice: Welcome to the courtroom of Judge Briar
Judge: *Is lit up and revealed to be none other than Briar Moss*
Niko: BRIAR!?! *Looks at Tris* I take it HE'S the reason you insisted on coming to this particular court.
Tris: No honestly I didn't know! *Crosses fingers behind back*
Briar: Hey Niko are you implying that I won't give fair judgement?
Niko: Well yes, after all you are still a child.
Briar: AM NOT! I will have you know I am a fully certified magistrate judge of the winding circle courts.
Niko: Since when?
Briar: I won't bore you with the long tale of blackmail. Suffice to say I was persuasive with the right people.
Niko: Still you have no right to be...
Briar: I won't take any more of that, BAILIFF!
Rosethorn: Yes your honor?
Niko: ROSETHORN! Don't tell me your condoning this...this madness!
Rosethorn: *Shrugs* I have to have some fun every once in a while.
Briar: You'll find my Bailiff is very capable. And I suggest you go about this trial in a civilized manner....or else....
Rosethorn: *Makes random VERY spiky vines grow up around Niko*
Niko: *Gulp* I see your point Briar
Briar: Good! However from now on you will address me as Your Honor
Niko: I will not...
Rosethorn: *Starts with the vines again*
Niko: ..mind calling you that at all Briar...er your honor
Brair: Very good! Now I understand that you have a problem with miss Chandler?
Niko: Yes she deliberately disobeyed my instructions and ended up frying a small town with lightning.
Tris: Well they asked me to move the storm over their town on it's way and who was I to refuse?
Niko: But you know that meddling in the workings of nature is dangerous.
Tris: I don't care, I was sick of them bugging me!
Briar: *Is leaning back in his chair twirling the gavel on his finger* Mr. Goldeye I fail to see the severity of what Ms. Chandler did. I mean ok she fried the town, I researched the incident and found that it was scheduled to be ransacked by raiders the following week.
Niko:....Um...she also destroyed a large portion of the forest near the town.
Briar: *Sits bolt upright* However upon further investigation I have determined the crime to be more severe than I originally believed.
Tris: Actually all I did was roast the trees to ash, the seeds under them will sprout good as new next year. Isn't that what we learned during the whole forest fire episode.
Briar: Hmm you bring up a good point. What do you have to say to that Mr. Goldeye
Niko: This is absurd! The girl destroyed an entire town!
Brair: *Bangs gavel* ORDER, ORDER!
Tris: *Looks around* Uh Briar? Niko's the only one talking.
Briar: Oh...right. In that case I sentence him to three months off weeding Rosethorns garden.
Rosethorn: *Evil grin*
Niko: NO! You can't do this to me!
Briar: Bailiff.
Rosethorn: *Grabs Niko and hauls him out of the court room* Come on, it's early spring and as you know that means it's going to be weeding, weeding, weeding. All of which you will be doing.
Niko: NOOOOOO
Briar: Well that's another case closed.
Tris: if you can even call it a case
Brair: Hey come on it's my first trail. Work with me here. Besides you did win.
Tris: Yeah, yeah see you later. *Walks out*
Briar: Whatever you say copper curls.
