THE COUNCIL VERDICT SCROLL
Filed by the Pantheon Council of Order, Chaos, and Mild Inconvenience
After reviewing:
Dan’s failed denial
Bella’s authoritative rebuttal
Bam’s forensic pettiness
The physical evidence
The emotional evidence
The vibes
The Council declares the following:
1. Dan is guilty of Attempted Smiting in the First and Second Degree.
His methods were sloppy, his execution poor, and his alibi nonexistent.
2. Bella is absolved of all wrongdoing.
Her enforcement remains lawful, justified, and occasionally hilarious.
3. Bam’s commentary is entered into the official record.
Because she insisted.
4. Dan is sentenced to:
One week of supervised ground‑level activity
Zero access to shelves, ledges, or elevated murder platforms
Mandatory conflict de‑escalation training (conducted by Bella, which is unfortunate for him)
5. The Pantheon remains stable.
For now.
