[Very deliberate (and deliberated over) video]

[Ky's sitting in his apartment. It's afternoon now, and he's spent since midnight thinking about this, almost entirely off the network. But it's clear that the solution isn't just thinking, and that he can't implement his desired solution on his own.]

It's become apparent that one thing this place is suffering from is a severe lack of justice. There always remained the question of once we caught the murderer what could be done to keep them separate in what passes for society here, to keep them from hurting another.

And now, failed joke or not, a woman lies dead. And we do know who is responsible.

Are we really going to sit back, be distressed and discomfited, but do nothing?

Or is it time to set up some system of justice? -- Not vengeance, that's not what I'm recommending, but there needs to a rehabilitation process.

That's been botherin' me too.

[She hasn't exactly lost sleep over it, but the whole justice system in Vatheon — or lack thereof — seems out of place no matter how she looks at it.]

Where I come from, we had a whole global order fighting our enemies and even then everything went to hell. How's a place like this still standin'?

I don't know a whole lot bout physics, but doesn't inertia run out eventually?

[Looks like it already ran out for that dead girl.]

[A situation worse than murder and a mild form of anarchy? Great.]

...Some hellhole this place is turnin' out to be.
serpentslain: (that so?)

[She blinks at the feed in curiosity.]

And how do ya propose we do that?
serpentslain: (kekeke)

An order for justice? Sounds right up my alley.

[Have a supportive smirk.]

Lemme see whatcha got.
serpentslain: (that so?)

A good set of laws and punishments would definitely get this place on the right track. If you can keep a sense of justice while still tightenin' the reins, things could go a long way for the better.

[Consider that a tentative approval of the plans. There's still the issue of leadership, though, and that's always the easiest part to screw up.]

And who'd spearhead a serious change like that? You?
serpentslain: (you sure about that?)

I see what yer sayin'...

[It really is weird, being in a place without an ancient order for justice already set up. Then again, that system had its share of worms crawling around.]

What about the potential for abuse of power? Where there's leadership, there's always a scumbag or two, and a crappy justice system can't be much better than no justice system at all.

[Good answer. She nods in approval.]

People've been making a lot of fuss bout different laws in different places, but some things are pretty standard. Don't kill, don't steal, all that. I'd stand behind a plan like yours, if ya did it right.
