[Toady One]

(I cleaned out some bickering, poketwo caught a few days for repeated infractions)

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Now, I believe we have resolved this issue. Back to business. Lawsuits, anybody?

I'll sue Doc Brown and Marty McFly for wanton abuse of time travel and several instances of changing the time stream.

Thanks, Toady. He seems like an OK guy, it's just... he's disruptive. A lot.

Now, I believe we have resolved this issue. Back to business. Lawsuits, anybody?

Heh! Sounds perfect. Just a sec while I get some stock images from Back to the Future.

Marty McFly in fact stole my hoverboard. It was a unique prototype, and because of the theft it never came to mass production. People who say "It's 2015. Where's my jetpack?", blame McFly.

"What? You're suing us? ...Very well, then! We'll hire the best lawyer there is!"
"Yeah! He's so good, he'll... uh... it'll be like one of those jokes about the USSR!"

"You're sure you can get us acquitted, Mr...?"
"Edgeworth. You can just call me that. And yes, I can get you acquitted, or at least I'll try my hardest. That's my job."

Court is now in session!


"The trial of Brown and McFly vs. Great and the trial of McFly vs. Tea are now in session, eh? Are the defense and plaintiffs ready?"

"The defense is ready as ever, Your Honor."

  "Considering the area we are within, it may be better to take a smaller form."

Energy covers the dragon, before reducing in size to a more humanoid form, before fading.

"This should be a bit better."

(I'm open to offers as to who is going to act as the prosecuting lawyer I hired for this case.  Just in case I am not around for long enough.)

[Tawa]

"Heh... looks like 'Ryuuichi Naruhodo' has taken on a whole new meaning."

"Now, let me explain the facts of the case here. Let's start with the civil case against them for causing the shenanigans."

"My clients, Marty McFly and Doc Brown, are accused of abusing their ability to time-travel. This is, presumably, also linked to the shenanigans that have taken place in this courtroom in times prior. The plaintiff believes that their patenting of time travel and use of a time-travelling DeLorean, among other things, has led to the plaintiff's misfortune."

"I am prepared to prove that my clients are not responsible for the plaintiff's misfortune. If the plaintiff would please cite the misfortune that Doc Brown and Marty McFly have brought them?"

[flabort]

"Before this trial comes fully underway, I have here evidence that the accused do not, in fact, have a patent on time travel itself. The patent for the alleged Time Machine, and the patent for Time Travel. The former patent is indeed signed in the names of Marty McFly and Doc Brown, as you can see. However, the other patent is signed by a list of collaborators. Both patents posses extended expiry dates, but the date the Time Machine was published is only 24 hours after the Time Travel patent expired."

Time Machine Patent added to court record!

Time Travel Patent added to court record!

"I see. Thank you. Just check the Court Record button to find the evidence."

((How does the double trial work? Do I just present the case of theft, or...?))

[Tawa]

((We'll just move to the theft charges after we're done covering the civil case.))

[Tawa]

"Well, can anybody work with the plaintiff to take the case when he's not available? It'd speed up the proceedings considerably."

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

"I am prepared to prove that my clients are not responsible for the plaintiff's misfortune. If the plaintiff would please cite the misfortune that Doc Brown and Marty McFly have brought them?"

"If you note the court record, I filed this suit on behalf of the Bureau of Temporal Management and Maintenance, of whom I am here as a representative.  The changing of the time stream causes a great deal of stress to it, frequently causing breaks that require a great deal of monetary investment to repair."


"Evidence of Mr. McFly's and Dr. Brown's manipulation of the time stream is evident in these three recordings by the Bureau of Temporal Management and Maintenance, labelled 'Back to the Future'."

Video Evidence: Back to the Future I added to court record.


Video Evidence: Back to the Future II added to court record.


Video Evidence: Back to the Future III added to court record.


(Basically, cut out the credits and the such and include periods of travel between locations and the such.)

(Too lazy for image right this moment)
"As a client of the Bureau, I have to say when your scheduled travels are all filed well ahead of time in a stable manner that does not cause any undue changes to the time stream, it certainly eases the process. You're saying that the accused did not file proper paper work with your organization before traveling?
