I guess I can?

where?

Axel Akamaru, witness, if you want me to fill the spot.

Yeah, I've joined the RP.

I'd like to be in. If you look at page 3, I'd like to be a Apollo sprite

Gumshoe: I guess they did, but >OBJECTION!<

Akamaru: Then why did he have to pick the lock?

Gumshoe: Ah, I never thought about that.

Akamaru: And what was the motive?
If the prosecution can't provide one, then my client can't be guilty!

*crowd murmurs*

Judge: *slams gavel* Order! Order in the court! The defense is right! A motive hasn't been *whip lashes at the judge*

von Karma: The prosecution calls someone who witnessed the crime. The prosecution calls the cleaning lady, Sarah Kingder to the stand.

von Karma: Witness, please state your name and profession to the court.

Kingder: My name is Sarah Kingder. I'm the cleaning lady of the apartment.

von Karma: You saw the crime, did you not?

Kingder: I did.

von Karma: Witness, testify as to what happened.

I could post this website on my forum at htpp://randoma.omgforum.net/ and see if they want to join.
