《》Jury Duty
Advertisement
Always a delight when that summons appears in the mail, right?
Let's see how they weasel out of this one.
-(In unison) "TOO YOUNG AGAIN FOR THIS SCENARIO"
-"Too bad. I kind of wanna go do jury duty"
-"Are you kidding? It's totally boring. You sit there for hours and nine times out of 10 you get a dumb case like insurance fraud or something"
-"Maybe. Maybe you get the guy who murdered a bunch of people and you get to send him to the electric chair!"
-"Watch it. You're talking about my family, bro. And, by the way, the electric chair won't work on us."
-"Lethal injection, then."
-"Hah!!!! Try again, sucker"
-Does not want to do jury duty because he's got a fuck of a work schedule and these trials can drag on for months
-During jury selection, the pool is told that they will be hearing a murder case--some dude who killed another dude's family
-Kurapika smiles to himself, raises his hand, and promptly gets himself excused due to an inability to be nonbiased
-Also does not want to do jury duty
-Tells the judge he is on medical staff and they can't spare him right now for any length of time
-The judge says "Take a night shift"
-Shit
-Examines the jury duty summons when it comes in the mail
-Uses texture surprise to change the name and address to "Illumi Zoldyck" on Kukuroo Mountain
-Drops it back in the mailbox with a note: "Delivered to wrong address"
-"Fuck a duck! How did I get summoned?"
-(Hisoka) "Who knows. Probably the DMV."
-"I don't drive, asswipe! I have butlers for that"
-"Well then it must be that you voted in the primaries last year. They get you through that, too"
-"I was doing my civic duty!"

-"Well, now you get to do it again!"
-Is a little nervous about this because, duh, he and the legal system don't really mix well
-But because he's hip slick and cool, he figures he can just disguise his appearance by tying a scarf around his forehead.
-There! That'll do it. Nobody will recognize him as the infamous leader of the deadliest gang on earth now
-Once jury selection begins and he is being interviewed, he throws in a shit ton of legal terms like "shepardize" and stuff, which irritates both the prosecution and the defense, and they end up dismissing him.
-Refuses to take his mask off during jury selection
-Pretends he doesn't understand the language the judge is speaking
-Responds only in "Feitan" language
-The judge thinks he's a royal pain in the ass and it's Friday afternoon, so he dismisses him
-Gets selected for the jury
-The case is a huge murder trial
-Shalnark ends up sending Sedokan, the psychotic bomber who somehow managed to escape Trick Tower and a 200-year sentence only to go on and kill gazillions of other people, to the electric chair

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed."You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." *********************Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.

Alpha King's Human (completed)
I looked out of the window. The huge window had bars on it. It was designed in a way only I could see outside world. That's what I could only do. I could never live there. Why? There were two huge arms wrapped around me like chains as I stared at the window blankly. "Mate, I can still feel your dislike towards me. Tell me, what should I do to gain your affection. I'll do everything you say or buy anything for you. I love you, mate. Name it"I stared at his wolf eyes filled with love which made my heart churn. I pressed my urge to puke and stared blankly at him."Free me" "I told you. I'll never leave you. How dare you think about going away mate. I'll fuck you so hard that you won't be able to step out of the bed. Then you'll carry my pups. Let's see how you'll deny my love" He growled angrily. In a minute. I was lying under him naked... Again.---
