    Welcome to today's Workaholics Anonymous intervention! Our group will be dedicated to stop certain personages (@Asch) from dying of exertion and to calculate current stock prices to maximize capitalistic corruption in various states. Our goal for the day would be to convince Asch that he is, indeed, a textbook-case workaholic and must be stopped at all costs.

    Everyone is free to come and go as they please (except Asch) and everyone can pitch in ideas and a few words of their choosing. Let this meeting commence!

    Notable Roles:
    Civilians - Unlimited
    Anyone who wants to participate in sharing witness testimonies, opinions, etc...

    Jury - 12 slots
    The final decision will be up to them.

    Defense Attorney - 1 slot
    They will protect the defendant's case.

    Defendant - 1 slot
    Whom is being prosecuted.

    Prosecutor - 1 slot
    They will attack the defendant's case.

    Court Jester - 1 slot
    The comic relief.

    Judge - 1 slot
    They have the power to cross-examine evidence and present points to the case.​

    Witnesses

    Our Jury will be making the final decision on this case. All witnesses who have seen Asch's workaholicism may now step forward and present their testimony.

    Note: Jury members and the defendant may participate in the witness testimony section but may be cross-examined by the Judge @Pandora. ​

    Note: We have been sent an anonymous report.

    Settlement Proposal

    Rather than accuse the defendant outright, I would like to first offer a chance at a settlement with the defendant's Defense Attorney so that we may bring this case to a close without undue action or unjust cause.

    I would like to bring the first of possible proposals to the table. I suggest we consider, seriously and heavily, the options we face. In my expert opinion as a recovering workaholic of the medical variety, I believe that mailing glitterbombs to his place of work, study, and rest could help upset his workflow and break his habit cold turkey. This could cure him and the cleaning of it serve as community service in the face of the stress his workaholic nature has brought out in the witnesses who have suffered such a sight.

    After all, how can anyone do decent work when everything is covered in glitter? It's simply not sensible, professional, or mature. All traits of a compulsive workaholic.​
     
  5. ORDER IN THE COURT

    BANG BANG BANG

    I will allow no bulldogging or bally-ragging of witnesses in this trial! I want a clean fight; no hits below the belt, no dirty tricks. The timer starts now and it's the Defense's turn to guess a letter first. Whoever can figure out my hangman can call the first witness.

    F-F-F-Facepalm Combo x3!!!

    Sound of facepalming.

    Your name is Lyre. You have just been given your juris doctor and you're on your first case. You deeply regret your life actions now. "Sir?" you bemoan, wondering what sort of fool's court you have joined into. "Please sit down, you're the court jester..."

    And, as if it's an afterthought, you say: "I'll buy a vowel, please. E. I have a quarter cent for the vending machine outside."
     
  7. THE COURT WILL ALLOW IT

    I'm curious why the Jury is beginning deliberations and lines of questioning. BUT I WILL ALLOW IT.

    The Jury may call the first witness and begin their line of questioning. @Theorigin
     
  8. I call @Lyre for questioning.

    First question.

    Why is there a triceratops in the board room?

    Yes or no answers only please.

    Witness Testimony

    Cough. Ahem.

    Your stoic face is highlighted by the strings of light which fluttered in the room. You are ready to give your testimony and answer the jury's questions. "Yes yes no no yes no no no no no yes yes no yes yes yes no no no yes no yes no no no yes no yes yes yes yes no no no yes," you describe to @Theorigin. A very detailed account of the horrors you've seen that day in the barbershop. You shiver at the reminder of the cult and the donkey head.

    And then, as if remembering it as an afterthought, you finish with a word which struck silence and horror in the courtroom. "Maybe."
