[Curiosity can not always be attributed entirely to the literal demons of our nature. Particularly not if we've nearly been killed by imprisonment in an intemperate spaceship, courtesy of a dehydrated saboteur, who may or may not be experiencing ventricle shrinkage in her brain. Mostly, William wonders if there's an insanity plea aboard the Tranquility, and whether they reserve adversarial justice for the Tranquility's native bogeys.

Possessed guys need to know.]

is this martial law, common law, civil, utterly fucking irrelevant, or written down anywhere?

What justice awaits Charlotte Daniau?

Comments

[majestyofthethrone]

Talk to Mr. Edgeworth.

[dogbane]

Thanks.

is he the sheriff or the hangman?

[majestyofthethrone]

He's a lawyer. On Security.

[dogbane]

Lovely. I remember something about a poll, but how's he the one?

[majestyofthethrone]

Yes. He likes surveys.

[uncurse]

The security team will figure out how to handle her. If you're worried about anyone getting their hands on her for their own justice, don't. If you're thinking about trying yourself, stop.

[dogbane]

i didnt do anything

[uncurse]

Good. See that it stays that way. If you're worried about her getting mistreated, you don't have to be.

[dogbane]

when did you find all your confidence in the judiciary system here?

[uncurse]

When I joined it.

[northerner]

We've a code that serves us well, though no formalized law.

For what reason do you ask of Charlotte Daniau?

1/2

[dogbane]

insanity and culpability used to generate a lot of legal and ethical conundrums back in the old world. here, it looks like insanity is a frequent risk and as for doing things you'll regret

2/2

[dogbane]

seems relevant to anybody with a mind to lose

[northerner]

She'll not be harmed, nor will anyone who loses control of themselves. We're not unnecessarily harsh.

[ this is less robb's ruling and more what he knows is held up by the ship. westeros isn't a kind place, and robb's tolerance of danger only stretches so far, is held back here by oaths he's sworn. ]

[dogbane]

that sounds consistent with what ive heard of edgeworth. thanks.

[--And a divergence, too, from the justice and politics of what William's world upheld.]

[northerner]

It's not simply Edgeworth's ruling. It is what the Security team enacts and upholds, and what those aboard the ship abide by.

[ a beat and then-- ]

You needn't thank me.

With any luck, mob law.

[dogbane]

sounds like it'd have to be a very fuckin uppity mob, to get past her protection detail.

[worthyourwhile]

What a fucking laugh that is. With any luck one of these fucking vampires will walk through a wall or whatever they do and just kill her nice and clean so the rest of us don't have to worry about it anymore.

[dogbane]

Tbh I'm surprised that isn't more common sentiment. have you experienced this bloodthirst before?

[worthyourwhile]

If by bloodthirst you mean basic survival instinct, yeah.

[ryuuzaki]

i wouldn't be surprised if she has to be protected from someone who can walk through walls.

anything else is nothing more than a statement of intent.

[dogbane]

I haven't personally noticed anybody carrying on intangibly, but that did foster some concern.

[ryuuzaki]

charlotte seems to have carried on intangibly for a while, too. it's hard to say.

it makes me wonder if we're asking the right questions about the judge/jury/executioner, or if that's even who she needs to be protected from.

have you been observing her? "personally"?

[dogbane]

:)

she's in shitty shape that much I know. are you implicating the ship and its concerning cognizance?
