《》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

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”

Can they save Oga from the deadly fate of her true heritage? And will Cyrus and his friends find a way to reach Princess Trinity in time?

Foreshadow
It's was already over 200 years since the last Supernatural War. Due to the use of technology against humanity, it created a psychological trauma that leads to the slow advancement of technology. Throughout the years, the world was unbelievably silent and in peace. Many believed that the pact signed by humanity and Supernatural Species kept the two opposing forces on watch. Some thought that both sides are brewing something and kept their cards hidden. Even the rumors told that the peace wouldn't last long and the war would break out in a few years. Who would know the future and things it would tell. Maybe the war would break out of nowhere or the world would remain at ease.---Note:First, I don't own the picture and credits to its rightful owner. Second, English isn't my native language. So before hand, sorry for the wrong grammar, misspelled words and the redundancies. Last, enjoy! --- Hiatus for the meantime while I'm retyping/reediting the first ARC. Thank YOU!
