JUDGE TINA WO

Defendant Hassan ibn Trrrol

Kalahari is respected, no, REVERED, among the lands all over the world for the quality of its justice. The Kalahari Justice Ministry, headed by the brilliant, intelligent, energetic, and elegant Minister Afraa al Abid, (And we know this is true in spite of the fact that Afraa is writing this herself, because she has a reputation for strict honesty!) treats all the residents of Kalahari equally, and uses only the most modern and enlightened techniques to get at the truth, and mete out proper justice.

Minister Afraa al Abid lays out the case against thief Sandi

A stellar reason for the particular excellence of this judicial result was Judge Tina Wo herself. Whether using the most persuasive of interrogation procedures, identifying appropriate witnesses like mistrixx, resisting numerous bribes from shady characters, (We are looking at you, Ehline!) or her fair and balanced judgments in Court, Tina Wo displayed the qualities of an outstanding jurist.

Afraa al Abid called the proceedings to order: "As Minister of Justice, I summon all to the first trial--of slave Sandi, known as the White Virgin (ahahaha) for theft of the Royal Jewelry that the King intended to give to Xade for her Housewarming."

The Crowd in the Courtroom

As the crowd gathered, including Princess Nathalie and her precocious daughter Sarah, some prominent voices were heard questioning whether slave Sandi could receive a fair trial in Kalahari, well known as a Maleocracy.


Prominent Members of Kalahari in Court

The first of many dramatic moments occurred when Judge Tina ripped the clothing from slave Sandi's body, and revealed that Sandi had confessed to the Royal Interrogator, who happened to be Judge Tina Wo.


Judge Tina reveals Sandi

While all present understood that the thief had admitted guilt, a wave of horror and sympathy rippled through the Justice Centre in seeing the brutally abused body of the prisoner. Of course, all interrogation techniques as outlined in the Kalahari Interrogation Manual, approved by King Hassan ibn Trrrol, were followed to the letter of the law.

But then slave Sandi made a stunning declaration, which turned the whole trial on its head. She made a counter claim against King Hassan, that HE had been a partner in the theft in that he had been criminally negligent in leaving the gift unguarded, and thus almost inviting Sandi to steal it! This bombshell landed in the Courtroom and caused a wave of excitement. Kalaharians had never before seen such a twist of Justice.

Judge Tina Wo did pass sentence--she took out a chastity belt and locked it on the slut Sandi snapped the chastity belt shut and said:

"Since you obviously stole the gems to impress your lover, you will have no sex for 1 week!"

then pulled out a ring gag, snapped it on the girls head and declared:

"Your sentence is to be chained to a bed in the brothel. You will pleasure all that come there, male or female, with your mouth for free! As an addition to your sentence, you will be up for rental auction next Friday, when your sentence is finished. Sheik Franco will observe the girl"

A review of the evidence is in order, so that people may understand the fair sentence declared by Judge Tina Wo, and also Sandi's claims. Minister Afraa DID find the bag, empty, but with no guards posted, in the Ancient Cave near Xade's mansion, so Sandi's claim might have been true!

The Empty Bag!

And there is no doubt that King Hassan had influenced the interrogation, as he seemed to be directing Tina in that task. And it is telling that Sandi mentioned a threat the King often makes to criminals: "But if I am to be alligator food, I leave the truth behind."

King Hassan pays special attention to the questioning of Sandi

Even with all of this evidence, it might very well have been true that the King would have eluded prosecution. But Judge Tina Wo had one more trick up her sleeve, (well, actually, she couldn't hide anything in that gown) so anyway she called one more witness, mistrixx, whose testimony sealed the King's fate.


Minister Afraa confronted the startled King with the news:

"King Hassan please come forward. Under your benevolent leadership, Majesty, justice has been a hallmark of Kalahari. Justice is lived every day here and we thank you for that. By the way, there is one more matter of justice we must clean up before Court ends today:"

"AS YOU ARE NOW DEFENDANT HASSAN IBN TRRROL,
ACCUSED OF NEGLIGENCE IN SEDUCING THIS POOR SLAVE INTO THEFT!


Under the reign of your glorious ancestor, Fatso ibn Trrrol, the Law 429 Section B, Paragraph 3 was passed, and it states that even a Royal may be tried IF THROUGH NEGLIGENCE HE HAS HURT THE LEAST MEMBER OF THE KINGDOM!
How do you plead, after you hear the testimony of mistrixx?"

mistrixx shocks the Courtroom

Judge Tina addressed the King:

"Sooo, your Majesty you were so anxious to dance and try to seduce the lovely ladies of Kalahari and visitors, that you neglected your gift for Xade? Come forward mistrixx, and we will hear your testimony."

misstrixx testified: "The King and I were first introduced to each other at one of his palace dinner parties. He told me about his influential status in the community and how he liked to be "entertained" by his female guests. When he called me to his private chambers to be one of his entertainers, i just assumed he was talking about a harem dance routine........
until he made unlawful advances toward me and told me that if i didn't fulfil his every desire....he would have me arrested and taken to the city dungeon as a traitor to the community!"

"I was so lucky that a Palace servant and a Royal Guard suddenly entered his master's private chamber and called him away for urgent palace business......
and you can check that too by the way.....only last week ...... i was instructed by the King not to speak of his desires toward me and told me to leave and wait for his summons for my return.....NOW DENY IT...YOU PIG!!

YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED....AND YOU'LL JUST DENY EVERYTHING....WONT YOU??"

After this staggering testimony, the Courtroom was in an uproar, but Judge Tina Wo did finally allow King Hassan to reply to the shocking charges lodged by mistrixx, as well as the criminal negligence claim of Sandi, yet perhaps a touch prematurely imposed a sentence on the King:

Judge Tina looked at the King, "As punishment for your negligence of protecting the gems, and trying to seduce visitors to the Kingdom, you will be stripped down to your underwear, cuffed, and chained to a rack in the Garden for 5 days! All the girls in Kalahari are encouraged to dance at the Garden in silks or naked to tease our King as he hangs on the rack."

But then the King, appropriately, was given a chance to defend himself:

"Ah......so finally you give me the chance to defend myself. My dear residents of Kalahari.  I am sure, that you see how false this process is done. My attempt to surprise our new neighbour, Xade Jurado is totally not taken into account.

On purpose I took the jewels in a big remarkable bag, so everybody could see. THis is the royal bag. I will show you this evidence."

The King held up the bag

"Well my residents....
I took this bag....because everybody could recognize this as the good intentions of the King to welcome Xade.
And also....I took this bag, to prevent anybody to walk away with it."

The King's clever remarks did not address the following issue. Yes, the showy bag was used, but the gift, a necklace and some earrings, were very small, and could easily be stolen with the showy bag left behind. In fact, it would help the thief to have the empty bag visible, while she made off with the gift!

Still, Judge Tina Wo showed some mercy to the King and announced:


"With that plea, we will reduce your sentence by 12 hours."

Mayhem followed this extraordinary day in Court, with Ehline muttering about bribes and corruption, but the beautiful, intelligent, sophisticated, supportive Queen Dara looking on in a mixture of shame and sadness. The King was then led away in handcuffs, and hanged on the rack in the Garden before the horrified eyes of the Queen, and the shocked crowd.

The convicted King

Many stared in horror at this unprecedented sight.

Kalahari is stunned

Some people, however, may have made a serious mistake in deciding that this was an opportunity to humiliate the King, or to take advantage of his misfortune. Ambassador Randy Quander seemed to be evaluating how she couldd embarrass the King internationally, while the key witness mistrixx seemed to revel in teasing the King with her seductive dancing. But The Last Uchiha may have made the most serious mistake of all. In insulkting the King, he forced his Majesty to call out to his lovely and supportive wife Dara ibn Trrrol, to make note of the man's insults.

Many think of the Queen as a beautiful and sophisticated Royal who represents Kalahari with great dignity, and that is true.

Queen Dara, however, is also a strong and resolute ruler, and if she felt someone insulted her husband or the Kingdom, she would be a rather fierce enemy.

And, did I mention, Queen Dara is now the ruler of Kalahari?

It would be a very foolish person who would try to humiliate the King, and God help anyone who would dare to do him physical harm!

Ambassador Quander, mistixx, and The Last Uchiha all mock the King

XADE'S HOUSEWARMING

The Mysterious Xade

The mysterious Xade showed great generosity by inviting all Kalaharians, as well as a distinguished cast of international guests, to the Housewarming for her lovely mansion. So it was quite an assemblege of royalty, the glitterati, swells of every kind, as well as thieves and pickpockets who knew the opportunities such a glamorous crowd could provide.


Xade welcomes the first of her guests

A unique note was added to the entertainment when Xade offered three gaming booths for her guests' entertainment. (Had she added a Parcheesi table she might have lured Afraa from dancing, and Nat from the wine barrels ahahaha.)


Bottle Toss, Dart Toss, and Barrel Toss Gaming Booths

Ironically, the musical entertainment, including the group Bloody Pirates, was delayed in arriving due to pirate activity in Kalahari waters, so Sir Peace Furst and his faithful slave Willow jumped in to provide musical entertainment.

The crowd continued to grow as Sir Peace entertained. 


The crowd grows larger

Happily, the musical entertainment made it through the pirate danger, and all were summoned to the beginning of the music program by the Mistress of Ceremonies Jemima Larkspur.

And what an entertainment program followed! First up was DJ PURPLE Landar, whose energetic interplay with Jemima Larkspur stirred the crowd's excitement.

The main act followed and if possible, Bloody Piratescreated even more enthusiasm than all previous acts. It was difficult to tell whether the crowd enjoyed their music more,

or whether the theatrical accompaniment was more interesting, especially the use of a cannon. Kalahari veterans, knowing the duplicity of Darya Romanova, leader of Kuwar, paid special attention to the weapon of war that seemed to have been brought by some Kuwari refugees. If the cannon's aim had been shifted from the Xade Mansion to the nearby Royal Palace, action would surely have been taken. Fortunately, the cannon WAS just a prop, and the entertainment spotless.

The applause reached its height when the Guest of Honor, King Hassan ibn Trrrol took the stage, though strangely, as he discovered, WITHOUT his gifts for Xade. As Kalaharians know, the elderly King's memory is not what it once was, though his sexual drive remains strong, so the lack of gifts was put to a brief memory loss on the part of the aging King.

Then the natural Kalahari inclination to party when all else fails took over, and many couples took advantage.

LATE BREAKING KALAHARI NEWS!

HORRIBLE THEFT--JUSTICE AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATING!


The King's gifts for Xade were not misplaced: they seem to have been stolen!

The King asked Minister Afraa to investigate, and she discovered the empty bag in the Ancient Cave near Xade's Mansion---but the bag was empty, and there was no sign of the epensive gifts the King had intended for Xade!


Minister Afraa examines the crime scene

The King has tasked Minister Afraa and the whole Justice Ministry to employ all their resources in the search for the criminal or criminals involved in this dastardly crime. Anyone who witnessed anything strange, or unusual, in regards to this bag is asked to come forward to give evidence.

All guests at the Housewarming will be investigated, and all their movements verified. The enraged King, angry about this blot on the Honor of Kalahari and the House of Trrrol, has pledged many months of the Ministerial salaries to the recovery of the jewels, and the swift and merciless prosecution of the criminal, or criminals involved.

Please come forward if you have any information to share! Tomorrow may be too late for those who hesitate!

Richest Auction in History of Kalahari

History was made last week when the richest auction in Kalahari's history 
took place at the Carfield Auction House.

Auctioneer Tina Wo could not have foreseen such a record sale when first she banged the gavel to open the auction. As she looked out at the audience, she only saw the usual furtive males, covered in cloaks, obviously expecting that their bids would take the prize slave on auction, Sonia Tairov.

Auctioneer Tina Wo and Slave Sonia Tairov

As usual, the women were the open ones, beautifully clothed, lovely to look at, but not treated seriously as contenders for the shapely slave.

The expectant crowd as the auction begins

One illustrious visitor, Leonarda of Vinci did make his appearance, giving rise to rumors that he had promised to paint the slave Sonia on the ceiling of the King's Palace Throne Room, but we are unable to confirm that rumor at this time.

Leonarda of Vinci greeted by Princess Nathalie and Auctioneer Tina Wo

Though the bidding began slowly, with a few cautious bids from some males, the true drama began when two formidable females, Queen Nathalie of Romania, and Shamsia Abbas of some hidden origins, faced off.

As the men shrunk back in fear before the power of these two women, the formidable adversaries locked eyes, and opened purses, each refusing to give an inch, as the bidding went to L$1,000, then L$2,000, then began to exceed anything seen in the Kingdom since Emir Hussein ate 43 pastries in one sitting, all the while seducing the wife of the Sultan of Zanzibar.

L$4,000, L$5,000 then L$6,000 was finally bid and won by Shamsia Abbas. With true nobility, Queen Nathalie smiled, and dismissed the loss, which gives promise that the next time there is bidding, Nathalie will NOT be denied.

Tina handed off the frightened but proud Sonia to the inscrutable Shamsia. Who knows to what purposes Shamsia will put her newly purchased slave?

Minister Afraa al Abid inspects Grace of Kuwar

Meanwhile Minister Afraa ferreted out the visitor Grace of Kuwar. Knowing that tattered Kingdom is almost defunct, the Minister made special note of this visitor, to insure that the greed, betrayal, and militaristic goals of that unhappy land would not darken the shores of peaceful Kalahari.
