It looks like the prison and courthouse are going to be rather busy presently.

Hopefully this goes better than the last time we had the prison so full, right after the subway bombings and then all of them fell out of the city and came back in again. And oh crap, that's a bloody lovely thing to just suddenly bring up out of nowhere--

I always hate this curse.

[guardianed]

So it does, yes.

...Subway bombings? Ahh, no, I remember those, it was right as Kimblee got here, and it seemed like his style. I wasn't with the force at that point in time, I don't think.

...It's far more of an intrusion than I would like. And watching my words is difficult enough, today I have to watch even my thoughts.

It was awhile ago. We had a bunch of quite a few different people brought in for separate cases at the time, which is what reminded me of what's going on now.

I don't think most people are used to needing to have such tight control on their private thoughts. Not even the mental concentration needed to control a True Rune back home... it's ridiculous. But luckily it seems to be mostly surface things leaking out, at least.

I see. So the trial system isn't quite as unused as I had thought. Or did they not make it all the way to a trial?

It's one of the few things I have to myself, at home, it seems sometimes- Nn, yes, it just takes ...a little more concentration.

[bright_shield]

I didn't pay much attention to the court side of things back then, but no, most of them fell out of the city or otherwise got loose.

It's one of the things people should at least have to themselves. But with some people's powers here... My mind still likes to run straight to things it shouldn't which I'm not...not...not thinking of now even with practice.

I can't say I'm horribly surprised; I only remember one trial myself, and that was because Greed was from Amestris.

Agreed. I'd prefer not to have my mind laid out for others to see, there's- things everyone would prefer to keep to themselves. Oh, this is annoying, for goodness sakes. I need to think sometime today.

[bright_shield]

That's been the biggest trial I know of so far as well. From ...chatting... speaking with a few lawyers, it seems most of their cases are civil ...stuff... that doesn't have to go through the police or deities.

I'm going to try and drag myself off the network before I see ...or say... something I shouldn't. I'd just like to request being kept abreast ...was that really the right word there? Oh for god's sake pay attention... of any further developments regarding the mass poisoning case. Because Nanami was affected, but then again, that probably means I shouldn't get too involved-- visibly anyway--

. . .

Right. Dragging myself off the network.

[guardianed]

I can't really blame them- working with either the police or the deities has a certain element of ...unpredictability, I suppose is the best word for it.

...Certainly, I'll keep you posted.

Probably a good move; stay out of trouble.

[bright_shield]

It's probably considered not worth the trouble unless it really is big trouble. Especially with the reputations both we and the deities have had in the past.

Thanks. Good luck with the rest of the day. Everyone's going to need it.
