Tropers: The Series

Everyone I have sinned. I will be back once I go on a forum pilgrimage

You could've just waited for someone to reply, you know.

"Park it on top of the skyscraper! That couldn't possibly go wrong in any way whatsoever!"

"I'll just have my Gundam stand guard."

Cut to the gang in court.

"Your honour, how was I supposed to know the building was made of cardboard? It looked so realistic!"

"Guys, Xathian court is so interestingly similar." Taco snaps a picture.

"Well, at least we got to go to court after all."

"I didn't even get to see the technology."

"I'd like to say a few words."

I get up in front of the court.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered her today to mourn the loss of our great friend, Taco Badger. He was a man of morals, even if they were terrible morals. He meant well most of the time. I'll never forget when he was shot by a cannibal guy for seemingly no reason. Farewell, friend."

Taco goes up to Tropes. He mumbles something, takes the crumpled up napkin Tropes had, and replaces it with a slightly-less, but still crumpled up napkin, before returning to his seat.

"Oh, thank you. Uh..."

I look down at the napkin.

"Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail."

"The back! Under court testimony!"

I turn it over.

"Ah. Here we go. Under court testimony, I...I...I can't read this handwriting."

"Do your best!"

"So is this an obituary or a trial or is this all theatrics to distract from the possible consequences of manslaughter?"

"Wait, manslaughter? Who'd we murder today?"

"Oondere Caurt Teestimonny, Ey howruh Gqweh fruy Nd jries."

The judge speaks up.

"WHAT did you say about my mother?"

"Didn't we kill the guy in the cardboard building? I just assumed we did because of our track record."

"Judge, you'll have to excuse my friend, he's Australian see, so he doesn't know a lick of English. May I translate for him, your honor?"

"You may proceed."

"The first line he said there is, 'I, Tropes Forever, stand accused of crushing several patrons of the Carboard Buidling to death.' Please continue, Tropes."

"Uh..sure. BUT, your honour, are we not ALL guilty of crushing several patrons inside a cardboard building? Can you honestly say that, as a child,you NEVER spend weekends crushing patrons inside cardboard buildings before your mother told you off? Can't we just let humans be humans? WHO AMONGST YOU CAN CAST THE FIRST STONE?"

"Okay your honor, now what he said there was, 'I wish to plead guilty, with hopes of parole if I may inform the police of my accomplices in the crime'."

"Don't listen to that man," I say pointing at Taco"He is a con artist."

"Now your honor, that man in the crowd, meanwhile, speaks heavy Portuguese. He just said, 'I have to use the restroom'."
