Burton v. Obolensky
Blog post hijack from Baron Wulfenbach in Steelhead's Ning:
First New Babbage:
[15:12] Mosseveno Tenk: Did I overhear someone serving Dr. O at the ball last night?
[15:13] Bookworm Hienrichs: Yes, indeed.
[15:13] Mosseveno Tenk: do tell
[15:13] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: You did. I have the transcript in Steelhead's Ning.
[15:13] Mosseveno Tenk reads
[15:13] Doctor Obolensky: Well, there are quite a few problems with the papers I can see right off hand.
[15:13] Mosseveno Tenk: oh?
[15:13] Doctor Obolensky: First, and most obviously, it's not signed by any sort of judge.
[15:14] Magdalena Kamenev: You can make a special appearance to make any procedural challenges.
[15:14] Doctor Obolensky: Not theirs, not ours, just the hysterical woman's attorney.
[15:14] Ceejay Writer listens curiously, having not heard of this.
[15:14] Roman Brandenburg: Doctor! You are get LL server today from Kite Festival? :)
[15:14] Magdalena Kamenev: And it's a civil complaint, not a warrant for arrest. Doesn't have to be signed by a judge.
[15:15] Roman Brandenburg: WE have many crashes and thinking about you, Doctor! :)
[15:15] Magdalena Kamenev smiles ferally, remembering the Civil Procedure sections of the bar exam.
[15:15] Mosseveno Tenk: uh oh
[15:15] Doctor Obolensky: Ah, well, it's even more useless than I had hoped.
[15:16] Tyger Freenote: i thought only draconian law ruled in Babbage?
[15:16] Tyger Freenote looks nervous
[15:17] Magdalena Kamenev: That said, if you refuse to cooperate, we can file for a default judgment, which could lead to Rule 11 sanctions, including substantial fines and a bench warrant for your arrest on contempt charges.
[15:17] Mosseveno Tenk pencils in "Shaunathans Way" on a nameless street
[15:17] Magdalena Kamenev purrs softly.
[15:17] Doctor Obolensky: O please do. That would be far more appropriate for a villain of my stature.
[15:18] Doctor Obolensky: But you will have to wait the twenty-odd days, I'm afraid.
[15:18] Tyger Freenote grins at Mr Tenk
[15:18] Magdalena Kamenev laughs. "Are you really worth the trouble, Dr. O?"
[15:19] Bookworm Hienrichs: Tyger--we don't have law, except when we do. *grin*
[15:19] Mosseveno Tenk notes the that one side of the street has a sudden drop off
[15:19] Mosseveno Tenk: We blew up our courthouse
[15:20] Doctor Obolensky: Well, *someone* made it disappear. It's a mystery.
[15:20] Doctor Obolensky: >chuckles<
[15:20] TriloByte Zanzibar: wait, what?
[15:20] TriloByte Zanzibar: where did it used to be located?
[15:21] Tyger Freenote: babbage law is written clearly in pencil like any good city
[15:21] Doctor Obolensky: Hmmm...I believe it was somwhere near where that Pirate Pub stands today.
[15:21] Doctor Obolensky: In that neighborhood, anyway.
[15:26] Mosseveno Tenk: Wait 20 odd days? what?
[15:27] Doctor Obolensky: Yes, if you read that piece of paper, it says I have 20 days to reply.
[15:27] Mosseveno Tenk: then what happens?
[15:27] Doctor Obolensky: Really, these people have no idea how to deliver an ultimatum.
[15:27] TriloByte Zanzibar: who knew there had been civic buildings up in the palisade, other than the station and europan consulate
[15:28] Doctor Obolensky: Well, I can only assume that they sob uncontrollably, and call me a meany.
[15:28] Doctor Obolensky: >chuckles<
[15:28] TriloByte Zanzibar: ha
[15:31] Doctor Obolensky: I suspect that they'll drop in some sort of bounty-hunter sort onto your soil, mayor, and attempt to whisk me off to Or-E-Gone to face some sort of primitive trial proceeding.
[15:31] Magdalena Kamenev: One could hope. :D
[15:31] Ceejay Writer is stifling a lot of laughter.
[15:31] Doctor Obolensky: Of course, they'll be unable to manage to convict, as their case is as solid as seawater.
[15:32] Ceejay Writer: I dunno, chunks of the Vernian are pretty resilient.
[15:32] Doctor Obolensky: In the end, all they'll manage to do is irritate me, as obviously, they're trying to lure me over there, probably because their own villains aren't keeping them on their toes.
[15:32] Bookworm Hienrichs: And how about that seawater that froze, when your incoming ship had its...accident?
[15:33] Mosseveno Tenk: Hmm, they do have a resident villain.
[15:33] Elleon Bergamasco: ooooo
[15:33] Mosseveno Tenk: Maybe we can have a villain exchange? Tho i'm sure theirs will be no match for us after the things you have put us through
[15:33] Doctor Obolensky: Yes, but that's obviously not enough for them, is it? >tisks<
[15:34] Doctor Obolensky: Well, that will depend on if they have a proper hero. If they don't, I'd just be trading one rabble for another.
[15:34] Ceejay Writer: It's hard to be too shocked and upset over all this when I'm in a very relaxing tea room, pushing a china saucer repeatedly through my leg.
[15:34] Doctor Obolensky: And they're over in the "Wild West", and really, who *wants* to go there as a villain?
[15:35] Mosseveno Tenk: sawmils and traintracks?
[15:35] Ceejay Writer: Abandoned mines for evil headquarters?
[15:35] Doctor Obolensky: Bah, we have more tracks *and* more sawmills, right here in town.
[15:35] Bookworm Hienrichs: And lynching mobs. Don't forget those.
[15:36] Doctor Obolensky: A mine? That's wonderfully appealing, I'm sure. "I know, let's hide in a hole in the ground!"
[15:36] Tyger Freenote: hmm i think Babbage has it's angry mobs too
[15:36] Ceejay Writer: WE need a cliff. Because you have to look down off a cliff, and be seen in perfect profile, as you contemplate your next raid.
[15:36] Ceejay Writer: Course, we have rooftops to suffice.
[15:36] Doctor Obolensky: No, no, that's why I stand on top of the observatory.
[15:37] Ceejay Writer: True enough, sir.
[15:38] Doctor Obolensky: But, the sheer lack of style is what irks me the most, of course.
[15:38] Magdalena Kamenev laughs uproariously.
[15:39] Doctor Obolensky: I'd send Smashington over there, but I just took a look at the shipping quotes. I really must look into building a giant ship of my own one of these days.
Then Steelhead:
[15:14] KlausWulfenbach Outlander: Legal team notice:

> [15:13] Doctor Obolensky: First, and most obviously, it's not signed by any sort of judge.
[15:14] Forelle Broek: Feh, it doesn't need to be signed by the judge. That's just silly.
[15:15] Tensai Hilra: hehe, I love the fact that we have sooo many lawyers :) and good ones too hehe
[15:15] Forelle Broek: But speaking of judges, we ought to see if the Honourable Venerable Broome will preside at trial
[15:18] Forelle Broek: and Tensai, most people would consider so many lawyers to be a bug, not a feature. XD
[15:18] Magdalena Kamenev squees and laughs. "I love being a burr in Dr. O's saddle."
[15:20] Forelle Broek: Heh, he should be so lucky as to get you in his saddle!
[15:20] Mosseveno Tenk: ((This is the weirdest rp ever))
[15:20] Riven Homewood beings to wipe the iced tea from her monitor and keyboard :-)
[15:20] Annechen Lowey: ((what do you expect, lawyers are involved.))
[15:20] Forelle Broek: ((not so weird by Steelhead standards))
[15:21] Magdalena Kamenev coughs.
[15:21] Riven Homewood: ((pretty tame by Steelhead standards))
[15:21] Mosseveno Tenk: ((and i get to watch in 2 wiindows at once, like i'm in some asian art film))
[15:22] Annechen Lowey: ((with different translations))
[15:22] Magdalena Kamenev: ((Not a Lars Von Triers film?))
[15:23] Mosseveno Tenk: ((is this the blue thread or the yellow thread?))
[15:23] Forelle Broek: ((Don't pull the thread or everything will fall apart!!))
[15:23] Magdalena Kamenev: ((Don't cut the red wire!))
[15:24] Annechen Lowey: ((Translated from Russian to Portugese by someone whose first language is Mandarin.))
[15:24] Riven Homewood: ((What NB group is talking about it?))
[15:24] Forelle Broek: ((Oh how I do love landscaping in SL. So much easier than RL!))
[15:25] Magdalena Kamenev: ((No, that's a Phillip Glass film ...))
[15:25] Tensai Hilra: (((((arf)))))) (<---me roleplaying a person whos not roleplaying, but is roleplaying that they are a dog)
[15:25] Eugenia Burton: You never had to mow the lawn in Steelhead!
[15:25] Forelle Broek: ((omg I'm so confused))

Despite sneering so broadly that Dr. O was in danger of throwing his back out of joint, I suspect he will appear at the Steelhead trial, if only to display his superior intelligence.
Better sell tickets to the gallery, because there will be a crowd who wouldn't miss this case for the world.

Random fact about fae: If we can get a grip on bare skin we can drain life force. Proper Seelie Fae like Lady Softpaw and myself generally only pull on the life force of other fae, with permission, to heal ourselves.

Funny, Steelhead hasn't attempted to be "Wild West" for quite some time, least not since I've been sheriff. Was quite boring trying to be "Wild West", to tell you the truth.
And besides, nothing's wrong with Steelhead's villains. Malegatto Altar continues her evil plans, and Jobias Barthelmess is missing, presumed dead. They've had better lawyers.

(( Well, IC, Doc certainly has his own notions about Steelhead, and they're unlikely to be accurate, as officially, he's never been there. ))
What I find most irksome about all this, of course, is the lack of following the proper conventions. In proper society, if a lady has some quarrel with a villain, she goes about finding a hero, not a lawyer.
