Y4H: The jury deliberation room (10eb)

From Create Your Own Story

The big door closes behind the last juror - who sags against it and starts laughing hysterically. Several others join him, and start discussing the funnier points of the trial.

The foreman is doing his best impression of Agent Fozdyke's police-prose talk, and trying to sound like a Seventies detective show - "So, Mister Chital, you engaged in your routine practice of going for the ass. After fucking Ovia's ass, you secured the spur stuck to the key, which you'd learned about from Beane's pillow talk. Then while everyone else was pounding away on Ovia, you took the tape and the balls, and crammed everything up your ass, just in time for the unmasking. And when it was time to leave, you waddled out with the rest, cutting your buttocks in the process. But you made one mistake..."

The others decide that's getting boring and shut him up.

An argument starts on whether it was really you or Phil who went for Ovia's ass, and then discussion turns to whether you're gay or not. The discussion's just heating up when the oldest member says, "Guys, can we wrap it up? I gotta pee."

He's shushed - no one wants to open court again for that - so they get back into it. You didn't really "swish" when you walked up to the witness chair, and your voice, some agree, sounded pretty straight. The girlfriend thing doesn't figure as much - everyone knows that "they" will cover it up like that, and even get married - but it's 8 to 4 that you're probably normal. And so there's no need to put you out in the jail. Everybody knows what goes on in that place. (Some of them read Big House Bunkmates in secret. Some prefer Hardon Hoosegow. One doesn't read anything like that, but his wife's a big fan of Birthday Bottom Boy's Big Night Behind Bars. Anyway, point is, they know.) And hell, maybe you didn't do it, anyway. And besides, the old guy's gotta pee.

The jury is ready to render its verdict.
