[Wow excuse you, she resents that. She's never bitten anyone >8|]
Oh! Well, that makes sense. You must've been here before I was.
[He walks a little closer, offering his hand to Tulio with a friendly, gap-toothed grin.]
My name's Jimmy!

Ah, but that's what I'm doing - it isn't just the prosecution entrusted with that particular task, after all.
[He's got no idea what you think he'd be doing if not that, unless...hm.]
Our court system is heavily skewed against the defendant - they're assumed guilty until proven innocent, rather than the other way around. I would think that ensuring the actual guilty party is found out and punished for what they've done counts as "putting bad guys behind bars," wouldn't you?

...What the actual flying fuck.
[HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS CONFIRMED TO BE FROM BIZARRO WORLD.
ALSO HE'S BLONDE.
...THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE BIZARRO-WORLD CRAWFORD WHO WENT INTO A LEGITIMATE PROFESSION INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, MURDER
but let's not leap to conclusions]
Are you kidding? You guys can really get away with that — guilty until proven innocent, no shit?

[He closes his eyes when he nods. It's only a small movement, but undoubtedly felt, as he rests his forehead against hers for a while longer.]
Yes.
And I've found a kind of peace that I didn't have before.
[It's the most reassuring thing he can offer her, or at least the only substantially reassuring thing, but it's honest.]
Yes.

Hey-
[... get your head out of the gutter, Nanao. He scoffs at her, then gestures at her to come on and take his hand already so he can help pull her up on the stupid zebra.]
Are you going somewhere or not?

[Elsa watches him go for a moment, making sure he really is leaving before she actually turns her back to him. Satisfied, she turns and leaves as well.
Too bad Fenrir isn't too content to let things go like this. This man made his master upset, made her angry and generally unhappy. He's as loyal as any good dog is, and because of that, he can't let Hans get away without at least a little retribution.
... Okay so it's not like he blasts a full-on jet of flame at the guy. Fenrir isn't that cruel of a Pokemon. But he does shoot a few tiny little embers at him. Just enough to set the seat of his pants alight.]

[... Wrong answer.
Lapis had been purposefully missing up until this point. But that just... causes something inside her to break. The water clone of her head disappears, leaving nothing but a wave to come crashing full-force right down on Peridot.
And when the water retreats, Lapis herself is standing there in the surf, hands clenched tight into fists.]
You're telling me I should've just stayed away from my home after being trapped in a mirror for centuries? Can you even imagine what that was like?!

... Tulio.
[You're a very friendly kid, aren't you? He's a little thrown, but remembers that there were a lot of naive people when he was here last, so in the end he thinks little of it.]
How long have you been stuck here?

[It actually takes Hans a second or two to notice that something's not quite right, particularly the fact that he's feeling heat where he shouldn't. He smells smoke just a second before his Ponyta rears up with alarm, causing him to look around and let out a cry of surprise.
He turns around sharply, coattails lucky to have not caught on fire as well as he tries to beat out the flame while his Ponyta steps anxiously in place. SHE IS TOO MADE OF FIRE TO HELP OUT WITH THIS.]

It's been...a year and a month or two or so now, I think!
[He counts off on his fingers before nodding.]
Yup, that sounds about right. I'd forgotten about this weekend though, so now I'm just trying to figure out...where me n' Cherry have ended up, exactly.

No?
[He's not going out int he grass he knows what's out there man and his weaselcoon looks like it could die with one hit]

I like that you didn't even bother to find that out BEFORE getting covered in cats.
[He really can't help a fond/annoyed sigh]
Okay, I'm not crazy... but I think it's a video game.

[...Well, there's...less murder, anyway? Surely that has to count for something.]
That we do, actually - it's not a terribly popular decision, but several facets of the legal system more or less completely collapsed in on themselves several years ago and since then we've been trying to rebuild. Or so I've heard, all of that was obviously before my time, though we've had massive setbacks since then that are making people speculate that we're in a second legal dark age.
Essentially, all defendants are guilty until proven innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt, all trials are to be resolved in three days or default to a guilty verdict, bench trial only - no jury.
[...HE SAYS, AS THOUGH ALL OF THIS IS A PERFECTLY RATIONAL SOLUTION TO THE FUCKING LEGAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY COLLAPSING, TWICE.]

[... Against her better judgement, Elsa turns when she hears Hans cry out. And when she sees what happened... well. It takes almost all of her self-control to not laugh. She succeeds, for the most part, but there's still hints of a smile trying to break through as she turns and stares sternly at her Growlithe, trying her best to use a stern tone.]
Fenrir...
[Fenrir, for the most part, looks pretty damn proud of himself, panting happily and wagging his bushy tail. JUST ACT CUTE AND NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID WRONG AND MASTER WON'T EVEN TRY TO HELP THE BAD MAN...]
Fenrir...

Last I saw one, those gear ... network ... things had maps on them.
[He gestures at Jimmy in an almost dismissive way. Why leave home without your magical technology thing, kid? You're dumb.]
Try checking those.

[Oh great. What could that poor Sentret have possibly done to deserve this?]
...Don't tell me you think it'd lose against a bunch of Caterpies and Pidgeys.

[Oh, he sees you laughing over there.]
Did your...thing do that?

Well, I've got my Gear with me, but it's prolly not gonna help me much right now! One sec you're in Goldenrod, the next you're all the way back in Blackthorn!
[He says, as if that's something he's gone through today. It probably is.]

{There's something so comforting about hugging a giant fluffy walking furnace - and don't think she doesn't hear that wagging tail.}
Hmm, I wonder if I have someone who can play with her... {She shifts back a little, and runs her fingers over the pokeballs at her waist - and grins when she feels a familiar sigil.}
Here's someone. {And here's Shuuhei the Houndoom! .......nanao did not think this through, for now she is the one getting many puppy kisses while pinned down.}

[Yep. He knew that would happen eventually. Don't mind his laugh, Momthing. He's just going to turn away to hide the smile now, while Hina barks and begins to bounce. Shuuhei friend, Shuu-friend!!! Come play come plaaaayy!
Or. You know. Drown your trainer in puppy kisses and then play. She can wait! She is a patient firedoge! Mostly.
Hitsugaya, on the other hand, lets the laugh out of his system and then shakes his head, turning around. He still sounds amused, though. And isn't that a rarity.]
Do you want some help?
