Among us transports, how many used to be involved in their world's justice system? As police, lawyers, detectives, judges, [ heroes ] and the like. Nobody's required to answer, of course, but I'd like to know. Curiosity, if you will.

[ He goes for text for once because he doesn't feel like broadcasting - it's been two weeks since the VR and if nothing else he still believes in keeping up appearances, the instinct to pick up and carry on for his goal more deeply rooted than almost anything. What goal, he's wondered so much for so long lately, but he found an answer at home and there's no reason to let go of it now. ]

How so?

On approximately equal footing, perhaps.

The how gets sticky! We're fighting for justice and freedom in the way police officers should or could, and detectives, and stuff, if I'm not sure on the lawyers and judges. They're the end process more than the front lines stuff.

Oh, that's pretty cool!

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-22 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
And what way is that?
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: you have a point)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-23 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
The way that doesn't give up in the face of being incredibly overwhelmed?

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-23 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
You're saying the police and detectives you know don't?
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: my thinker impression)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
More that they didn't know anything was happening at first, and we kind of were operating outside the strict confines of the law.

By a wide margin?

What a shame. I'd never taken you for a criminal, Collette.
whatsupcroc: (☇ playful: so you do like me)

[ Collette finds herself laughing when she reads this text. ]

I hide my lawless streak behind an artfully place palm frond. Words like a charm!

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-23 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds even more noticeable. Maybe I need to check my eyesight after all.
whatsupcroc: (☇ smile: keep a bright outlook)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Barnaby! This could be a big problem! Have we run across a kidnapped optometrist yet? I've only met magic healers and a surgeon!

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
And I thought my eyes were bad enough as it was. There's a certain someone who's even better than me by now.

Don't let it get you down. You'll be the very best, like no one ever was!

Except that other guy.

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-23 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I can't be the best if I can't even best him.
whatsupcroc: (◆ smile: really you look good)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yet. The keyword is always yet! You're beating him -- slowly.

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-23 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it's just as well he's not here to know.
whatsupcroc: (◆ smile: yeah yeah I know)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
It means your super ultra secret remains secret, for now! Think of how surprised he'll be in the end when you've totally pulled ahead.

[personal profile] ex_bandai157 2012-08-24 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. I'm sure he'll have quite the shock.
whatsupcroc: (☇ laugh: ha! you could say that)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2012-08-28 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
He'll be electrified!
