HELLO, KY. I HOPE TODAY FINDS YOU WELL.

IF YOU'VE GOT TIME, I'D LIKE TO MEET AND TALK ABOUT TRIALS AND HOW JUSTICE WORKS IN HUMAN SOCIETIES. WOULD THAT BE ALL RIGHT?

Innocent until proven guilty... I like that. It's novel, but I really like it!

[Sorry, Ky, he's gotten hung up on that point.]

Does that work in human societies?

[ Ky doesn't mind, since it means he's thinking about what Ky said. ]

It works better than alternatives, in my opinion. It doesn't do so 100% of the time, but nothing would.

[withoutasign]

On Alternia, we just assume everyone is guilty, and there's very little proof needed to get someone culled.

Do you have trials at all?

[withoutasign]

Yes, but our trials are based more on blood color and how well you can bribe the legislacerators. It's justice for the few at the expense of the many.

[closedcircuit]

That sounds rather unpleasant. I'm sorry.

[withoutasign]

It was. That was what I was fighting against. I wanted an Alternia with justice and peace for everyone, not just the highbloods.

[closedcircuit]

That makes perfect sense to me, of course. And in this place...this is why we all need to work together, so justice can be the same for everyone regardless of where they come from.

[withoutasign]

I couldn't agree more.

[closedcircuit]

That's an important first step, I suppose. Is there anything else specifically I can explain to you that would help?

[withoutasign]

Not at the moment, no. If you want to begin writing up some ideas for the justice system we could create, I'd be very interesting in seeing them.

[closedcircuit]

I'll start on it.
