Appearance notes: Styx was there virtually, he ditched the sunglasses and tricorn hat, his hair appeared unkempt, he had a single glove on.
Drunkenness - Styx spoke very slowly and deliberately, was noticeably slurring, and was holding back burps*. Probably a 7-8 out of 10 drunk.
Nikki was in the background (in a bean bag) head canted towards Styx inaudibly giggling during the beginning of the call.
During the hearing the judge wanted to establish representation for Styx.
Styx explained that his preferred attorney is unable to represent him due to a conflict of interest with this case.
Styx then informed the judge that he cannot afford an attorney.
Styx was questioned by the judge due to his reported income being 7k monthly and family annual income of 132k.
Styx appeared much more uncomfortable for the rest of the hearing.
Styx explained very briefly that he can no longer earn that much and cannot afford representation because viewers "fled my channel".
The judge asked why he didn't update his income with them, Styx told the judge that he wishes to represent himself,
The judge then went over his rights, and the waivers, etc.
Styx will need to file his own motions, but they are free to file.
Styx dropped out of UVM and described his whole job history as "self-employed, and an editor"
This will be Styx's first time representing himself.
Styx is to appear for another hearing on March 2nd 3pm.
