Fourth Night [Action/Voice, Backdated to April 12th]
[Action]
[Naoya and Dilandau are safely behind bars in the tunnels, secured and locked away with no weapons. And right now he made sure to take every key to the prisons and secure the entrance with a padlock of his own. It should be strong enough to hold anyone attempting to break them out for now.
First thing's first. He needs to track down ( Read more... )

[Now there's a pleasant surprise. As Dilandau's original warning was locked from him, Ginko has only just caught up with unfolding events. Mildly--]
...and what exactly makes for justice in a world without death-- where "detainment" is just a prison within a prison?

And imprisoned though we are, that fact does not change. Judgement is not mine to pass. I bring criminals to face their judgement in the eyes of their peers.

I'd be curious to see the people here decide together on anything-- let alone the penalty for murder.
You bring criminals to face judgment--hnn. It sounds like you're speaking of a world with a function system of justice. But...what do you intend to do with them here? Imprison them indefinitely?

[He doesn't want to have to traipse back and forth to the tunnels delivering meals every day forever, anyway.

[a disgruntled sigh, followed by a pause and he draws up an unhackable filter]
This ...isn't really any of my business.
But I've spoken with Dilandau on a few occasions-- and it honestly surprised me that he went through with murder, here. Especially of a woman, although he seemed to have some odd loathing for angels.
[a pause] Even though it's clear that he has some free will of his own-- his mind is broken. I was informed by someone from his world that he was subjected to experimentation as a child.
For as much of this is his own fault...the idea that he's being used as a tool for murder by more intelligent individuals ....it doesn't sit well with me.

I'm aware of Dilandau's mental instability, but I was not aware of its source. But rest assured. Naoya will not walk simply because Dilandau was the one who committed the act.

[a grunt at that.] I'd be more worried about it happening again. Dilandau has been speaking to Kefka, as well.

We'll have to see to it that he does not get the oppurtunity to fall under his influence.

No doubt. Though I fear it's too late for that... Dilandau is already fond of him, judging by what he's said to me. [Ginko shakes his head] Dilandau isn't completely unhinged. I lived with him for a few days-- and he was fine. A brat, but not dangerous at all.
[a pause. Quietly] ...why Kohaku?
Reply
A man of Naoya's level of madness cares little for life or anything that represents the force of good. Kohaku is an angel, a living symbol of holiness and light. To him, extinguishing that light brought him a powerful sense of self-satisfaction and an elevation above that of a mere mortal.
[...Scared yet, Ginko?]

Hnn. Those are signs and symbols outside of my experience-- but I'm afraid that the concept you describe is not. [a thoughtful pause] Is Naoya physically dangerous-- or possessed of some kind of power? I'd be surprised if he really needed Dilandau to do the killing for him. I was under the impression that the boy is none too strong without his world's weapons.

So he isn't personally dangerous? [not letting go of that]

[Darkly:]
He is very dangerous.

What kind of dangerous?-- it seems you managed to capture and contain them both on your own power.
