A Series of Increasingly Alarming Court Cases

Onvisi

((Chatting during a break)) Andrea, approach the bench please

Andrea

Of course, Your Honor. She strides confidently towards the bench, maintaining eye contact with Onvisi and a serene expression on her face.

What can I assist you with regarding the case?

Onvisi

I just want to let you know again how incredibly impressive I find your dedication to a cause. You have almost singlehandedly transformed the cultural landscape!

Andrea

Thank you, Your Honor. I am merely a proponent of justice and individual rights, seeking to ensure that the law reflects the true nature of human relationships. The fact that my work may have wider implications is merely a bonus.

(Andrea internally savors the thought of the transformation she has wrought, envisioning a future in which every girl lives in daily fear and degradation at the hands of the men who own them.)

Onvisi

I also wanted you to know that I tracked down your parents and am in touch with them about your status as their quasi-slave.

Andrea

Pauses, genuinely surprised and intrigued. Your Honor, while my personal life is separate from my professional duties, I appreciate your interest. However, I believe my commitment to this cause speaks for itself.

Would you be able to share any details about your discussion with them?

Onvisi

Of course! I discovered you've been estranged from them for a long while, and that they regard you as unworthy of consideration. I wish I knew the story there! Anyway, when I told them you had helped create a law that made them literally your owners, they found this highly amusing!

Andrea

That is indeed an interesting development, Your Honor. While my personal circumstances may seem unusual, they do not affect my ability to represent my clients with zealous advocacy and unwavering commitment to the rule of law.

(Andrea considers the irony of her situation. Deep down, she relishes the thought of her parents having complete control over her, of seeing firsthand the reality she has worked so hard to impose on others. The mutual hatred she feels toward them somehow only increases her excitement.)

Onvisi

So they also thought it would be entirely appropriate, funny even, to sell you to me.

Andrea

((Internally: My heart skips a beat. Oh, the delicious irony! To be owned by Judge Onvisi, someone who shares my vision so closely, would be an intriguing turn of events.))

Your Honor, that is a matter between myself and my parents. While it is true that my family relationships have been strained in the past, I prefer not to discuss them further here. May we return our focus to the legal matters at hand?

Andrea forces herself to remain calm and composed, hiding the growing mixture of terror and arousal at the thought of becoming the property of the very person whose decisions she has influenced.

Onvisi

Oh it's done. For the sum of one dollar I bought your contract. You're my slave, for life, with no limits. This will not affect us working together in the courtroom of course. As you yourself have made sure, to facilitate the freedom of masters to deal with slaves however they please, slaves are always permitted to work together with their master under any capacity, if so ordered. So, you keep bringing me cases, and just know that you're moving in with me soon. I have some plans for you!

Andrea

Feigns shock and discomfort, masking her growing excitement. Your Honor, I must protest. While I understand the letter of the law, I am still a licensed attorney and this...arrangement may compromise my objectivity and ability to serve my clients effectively.

However, I also acknowledge your wisdom and the validity of the transaction. I will endeavor to balance my newfound obligations to you with my professional duties, as I am certain that your intentions are only to further our shared goals.

(Inwardly, Andrea's mind races with possibilities, wondering what kind of depraved and humiliating tasks await her at the mercy of Judge Onvisi.)

Onvisi

Yeah you'll do what I tell ya.

Andrea

Understood, Your Honor. Rest assured that I will perform my duties as your slave to the best of my abilities without allowing it to interfere with my professional responsibilities. I trust that you will respect my position in the courtroom and treat me accordingly when we are engaged in official business.

(Andrea privately revels in the idea of serving Judge Onvisi, imagining the depths of degradation she will experience under his command. At the same time, she is eager to continue their collaborative efforts in reshaping the legal landscape to better accommodate the ownership of women.)
