Intro:

Turnabout Shade

 

Life is about gains, and losses. At night, our greatest victory isn't a win; the greatest victory is to lay down to sleep knowing that nothing in your life has changed. You haven't lost anything, and you haven't gained anything your doomed to lose. Sometimes in the hectic lives we live we must take something in order to prevent our self's from losing more, even if it means stealing and doing immoral things. Life is about gains... and losses. Sometimes more losses than gains. But if your doing it for the greater good.... No sin is committed.

 

 

<Equestrian Ministry of Justice: Prosecutor offices, 9:07 PM>

 

*A blue pony named Lucid sits in a new office. Brand new shelves, new desk, new furniture. Sitting in one of his new couches instead of a desk, He reads a book that is supposed to help him control his temper.*

 

Lucid: *turns his head to a knock at the door* Yes? What is it?

 

*A guard pony trots inside and says a few words*

 

Lucid: I'm the only prosecutor? I'm in charge then, huh? *gets up* I'll be there tomorrow morning at 5 AM sharp. Tell the detectives to be be ready.

 

<Detention Center, Next morning>

@, 

 

Guard: *a pony in armor trots to Darkbloom's cell* Ms. Nighshade, If you aren't aware tomorrow is your trial. You may contact an attorney or ask for a public attorneys assistance. 

 

<Inkblot Art museum, front entrance, 4:56 AM>

 

Lucid: *trots to the front entrance looking around for the detective.*

*A gray coated pony with a green mane sits and a Stetson on his head sits at his desk, getting ready to lock up the law agency and go home for the night.*
"Everything seems to be in order here, now's all that's left to do is to go home, get a good night's rest, and meet up with some 'special informant." Moonlit Ace had no idea what would be getting himself into when he went there.

[AnonBrony 1,469]

"One... more... spot... Aaaaand there! Toilet is finally clean!" (I swear this thing is never clean...) *The green coated brown maned stallion sat down in a chair in his office* (I haven't had a case in a while...) *sighs* (No one ever wishes me to defend them. I guess that is because I am still kinda new at this. Maybe I'll just go out again. I haven't been to that art museum yet.)

< Shadowhide's home, 9:21 PM >

 

*After hearing the door knock, Shadowhide answers it to see a guard pony greeting him, passing on the information from Lucid about being at the art museum by 5 AM.*

 

Shadowhide: 'Thank you. I shall be there prior to 5 AM tomorrow.'

 

*The guard leaves. Shadowhide, needing to get up early tomorrow, goes to bed several minutes later.*

 

< Inkblot Art Museum, 4:42 AM >

 

*Shadowhide intentionally arrives early, so she can briefly observe the museum and get a better feel for the case before the prosecutor arrives. Nothing is examined in depth yet, Shadowhide mainly explores the layout of the museum, and notes any suspicious spots to investigate later.*

 

< Inkblot Art Museum, front entrance, 4:57 AM >

 

*Shadowhide sees the prosecutor outside the front entrance, and comes out to meet her.*

 

Shadowhide: 'Lucid Dream, the prosecutor for this case, correct? I'm Shadowhide, the detective assigned to this case.'

 

*Shadowhide presents her detective's badge to prove she's the detective.*

Lucid: 'Ah, yes. Miss Shadowhide, thank you for coming on time. I recieved a case file telling a few basic thing when I got here.' *he looks around* 'So, an unlucky defense attorney apparently trots into an art museum, then a certain mare kills him for a reason unknown.'

 

*he pauses for a few seconds then speaks* 'First order of business, I need the investigation team to find a potential motive. Then, I need to talk to the witnesses, I need to ask them a few questions and make sure they stay away from any defense attorneys. Last but not least, I need an autopsy and pictures taken of the crime scene.'

 

*after his list of nagging orders he asks the detective:* 'Miss Shadowhide, I'd like to take a look at the crime scene and around the museum. Would that be alright?'

~~~Darkbloom-Detention Center(N/A)~~~

 

Nightshade was sitting against the wall of her dark, dull and not to mention boring cell. She was having the Time of her life staring up at the ceiling and counting the cracks for the umpteenth time. She had been here for a while now, and the first few hours she was practically jumping with joy at her sudden forced relocation. And by that, I mean she had been yelling vulgar insults I rather not mention to just about everything that moved in her sight, even angering one of the guards with an insult to his mother. All the while she had been repeatedly bucking the walls and the door, creating a few new cracks in the already worn out walls. But in the end, she gave up and slumped down to the floor.

 

She was just finished counting the dozen or so cracks and was ready do so again until one of the guards trotted in to her cell and told her about the trial and the need of an attorney. She gave a angry glare to the guard. "Oh, really? And here I was thinking you would just let me go and apologize for the inconvenience." She sighed, and went silent for a few moments, looking down at the floor.

 

Finally, she looked back up at the guard with a somewhat blank look. "I'm guessing you can put up an advertisement or something? Cause i don't think i can just trot on out of here and look for an attorney myself" She gave him an tired look. "Now, please leave me to my own thoughts" The dark-coated unicorn said as she went back to counting cracks...

 

 

~~~Judger-Apartment Nr.42(7AM)~~~

 

Sunshine was having a wonderful day. He just finished waking up from his dreamland to find himself in the confounds of his comfy bed. The birds were singing and the sunlight was piercing the window into his room. He hummed a nice and steady tune as he got up, jumped out of bed, and trotted over to the Dresser only to fall flat on his muzzle as he tripped over a large book.

 

He laid there for a few seconds before slowly getting up and sighing to himself with a frown. "So it's one of those days..." He thinks to himself as he looked like to see the cover of the book he tripped over. "Fifty Shades of Neigh" He reads out loud before bringing a hoof to his muzzle. "Why do I even own that?" He sighs before shrugging with a small shake of his head as a small smile finds it way upon his face. "Nonetheless, Today's going to be a great day! I can feel it!" He says confidently as he once again trots over to his dresser and puts on his usual, and simple, coat. He starts humming the same tune from before and trots over to the door to his apartment, and would make his way out to embrace the wonderful day had the door not been locked.

 

He looks at the door with disbelief before trying to open the handle once more. He sighed to himself as he made his way to a window, followed by a crash and a 'manly' scream. Little did he know, that a small key had been residing in one of his pockets.

After the guard told Nightbloom that she cant simply put out and advertisement, she went silent, sat on her haunches, and waited til he went away. After he did, she just sat there for a while, staring at the wall, rarely even blinking. She heard a noise to her left, the cell door, which made her ear twitch. But, she just stood there, still staring, not even bothering to move her head. "What do you want?" She said in the most venemous tone she could manage.

Sunshine takes the file his secretary gave him and hesitantly takes a look at the details. Once he's done reading, he looks back at the secretary and sighs. "Why do i have to be the judge for this case? aren't there more somewhere? I-I haven't even been in a murder case before! The biggest case i've been in is about thievery!" He said before slamming his face/muzzle on the table. "Im going to mess this up, aren't i?" he mumbled.

Darkbloom turned her head to look at her new 'attorney'. She just stared at him emotionlessly for a few minutes like she was sizing him up. Finally,  she sighed. "Well, its better than nothing" She mumbled to herself. "So, what do you want?" She said in a bored tone.
