I preferred the old books better. [This thing is being folded every which way, because they just had to make this thing harder to use.] At least you knew where you stood with them. The old books never changed; they might never have been easy to use, but they you knew what you were supposed to do with them.

[Is he talking about the book, still? Maybe, maybe not.] With all this talk of the Initiative and the United Earth issues, there's been something that's come up several times. Something I would be worried about, and so should others.

Traitors. Those who turned away from the goal right when their colleagues needed them most. Or the ones who never came to help in the first place, though they said they would. Traitors also includes liars. Yes. Liars. The ones who never tell the truth, especially when the truth could be the information you needed the most.

[He's getting exasperated with this new book.] I wonder, how did everyone else treat liars back home? In Ferelden, we had several ways of punishing those that had committed crimes against the crown, or those who'd lied and were caught. Some of them seemed rather harsh, but if someone who steals loses a finger, why not have the liar lose something as well? Something they value, something close to them, so that they can be hurt as much as they have hurt those around them.

So, how should we treat those liars, here? If we find traitors, what do we do with them? A mock execution, whipping, leaving them bound and gagged in a small room? Killing them would just be too merciful for what they've done, wouldn't it? [He pauses.]

Andraste's foul breath, this new book is more difficult then the other! [Okay, he's done with this book thing. With a yell, he throws it across the room.]

Speaking from experience there?

For some, sure. I'd rather not mess with karma too much. [Because that's bitten him in the ass multiple times.]

I don't really think too hard on that.

I'm guessing you've been in a lot of battles.

We got kings here too? Oooh man, that's something new.

Uh, I could probably tell you a thing or two.

[History buff and all. And then some.]

[personal profile] treasurehunter 2012-10-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. What's your name?

[personal profile] treasurehunter 2012-10-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Pleasure's mine. Just, uh, where exactly is Ferelden?

... You're from another world, aren't you?

[personal profile] treasurehunter 2012-10-16 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
That explains it. So, what do you want to know about kings?

Well, they did, when monarchies were the main form of government. Nearly every country in my world is democratic. Being royalty is more of a title and not really anything about power.

Democracy's a bit different these days than the monarchies taking advice. It's a lot more than I care to really know.

This being here in Exsilium or here in this world? Because this world is a really bad example of democracy.
