"Did I ever mention that I hated prisons?"

"No, Chit."

"I hate them. I really, really hate them. I especially hate cutesy
prisons. I mean, the bunnies, you expect it, but these guys are supposed
to be ninjas!"

"Mm Hmm."

"So what's with the decor? Tick posters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
action figures? And a giant plastic pizza on the wall? Come *on*!"

"Mm Hmm."

"I mean, it's bad enough that they've taken us prisoner, and are probably
going to kill us. Not that dying's okay. Dying's bad. But dying for a
bunch of wannabe cartoon characters..."

"Mm Hmm."

"Are you even listening?"

"What?"

Chit glared at her through the bars, then curled up to sulk. It wasn't
long before the door (round, with Cleveland Sewer and Water engraved)
opened and a pair of squirrels in cheesy ninja outfits came through.

"You!" Kara said to the one in the white robe, "You *are* a ninja!"

"How perceptive. [smile]"

"Since you're going to kill us anyway, you might as well tell us the
plan," Chit said.

"What plan?" the ninja in the red robe asked.

"Great. Just great. [peevedflick]"

"Ah, Chit, how easily you cast us as the villains..."

"You *are* the villains."

"We are not. We seek only justice for our comrades."

"They already found justice. [evilgrin]"

"So you admit it!" red-robe snapped.

"What? [blink]"

"You admit you killed them! [flick!]"

"I didn't kill them."

"Liar!"

White robe seemed amused. "If you like, Chit, we could give you a trial."

Chit's ears perked up. Red robe smiled.

"Chit..." Kara began.

"Why do I get the feeling you aren't referring to a jury of my peers?"

"Because your peers would be others that have murdered our brothers, and
as Colette observed, we lack supernatural powers. [flick]"

"What, then?"

"Do you desire a trial?"

"I'm innocent."

"Then you have nothing to fear." Red robe cackled in the background.

"Then give me a trial."
