How do guardians work?

[long pause]

You have more experience in this than me.

Why do you want to know?

[ilikeyourcake]

Research.

[doyoulikecake]

C'mon, Satomi, you have to give me a few more bites than that.

[ilikeyourcake]

I'm looking at possibly doing a study on how to best extract information from a guardian ward pair, which would be greatly facilitated by understanding the depth of the relationship, Minoru.

[doyoulikecake]

Why is this something that needs a full study? You hurt the ward, the guardian goes apeshit. Simple as that.

[ilikeyourcake]

I'm aware of that, Minoru. What needs study is the best way to extract honest, truthful information. You know as well as I that such simple torture methods are more likely to disclose misinformation.

[doyoulikecake]

So use the same tactics you use on everyone else.

I'm kind of busy, Molly. Are you going to tell me what this is really about, or can I go back to ignoring you now?

[ilikeyourcake]

[ the transcription is illegible for quite a bit, as Molly is making noises that the journal system doesn't understand. ]

I have one.

So have fun torturing them like you do everyone else. You don't need me to chaperone all of a sudden, do you? Or are you asking me on a date?

[Some minutes later, when he's actually processed what she said]

Wait, you have your own Guardian?

[Cue slightly-subdued laughter.]

[ilikeyourcake]

Yes. I'm asking you on a date.

To torture my guardian.

It'll be fun. We can bond.

Help.

[doyoulikecake]

This is possibly the best news I've heard all day. I don't even mind that you're running with the date joke.

Have you tried slamming your hand in your car door yet?

[ilikeyourcake]

Nooo.

I will have to try that one. Mostly, I'm dreaming about killing him. See, you can trust Lily, but I'm not sure I can keep him around.

[doyoulikecake]

Sounds like you just have expend a little effort, kiddo. Make him yours. It's not that hard. I mean, he's already forced to look out for your well-being; I'm sure you can think of things to do with that, right?

And, well, is he innocent?

[ilikeyourcake]

I haven't figure that out yet. I mean, push come to shove, I can get someone else to handle it.

And yeah, I could do that, I'm just afraid that something'll go down before I can do that. The last thing I need is an incident. In fact, it wouldn't look that good on you, either. :)

Mostly bad on me, but yanno, the dangers of having a guardian and all that. Especially one with a track record... I'm not sure why I'm thinking about that.

[doyoulikecake]

It's not like I'm volunteering to help you out, here. Plus, Ken's more likely to back me up with lawyers than you. I haven't had any incidents lately. :)

Track record?
