First Tide Turning ☠ [action + marauding + voice]

Jul 23, 2011 15:17

Seems there's types about who'd make the village safe. Police; a village watch. They'll want prisons, next. A gallows.

Rather funny, that, considering the nature of the place, eh?

There's rogues about. Mind that; and if you can't, lock your doors.

( Cut for action )

climbing in your windows, saqueador, a bit of piracy at last, snatching your people up

Yours is not an uncommon sentiment. There's a reason there has not been some official form of law enforcement in the past.

[Gah...Albert. Jack takes a deep breath before responding:]

And that reason, I take it, would be strongly-voice objections and outright sabotage?

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 00:57:27 UTC

[Never had a real conversation with the pirate before.]

Strongly-voiced objections, yes. Sabotage is not necessary when there's logic and inaction.

[Filtered | voice] where did you go, letter d? lists_to_port July 24 2011, 01:00:43 UTC

It might BECOME necessary, however. I've been informed there's a prison here, sir.

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 01:04:35 UTC

Yes... [He's seen them a few times. One time more closely than he would care for.] How long have you not been aware of the cells? That in itself should say something about the frequency of their usage.

[Filtered | voice] lists_to_port July 24 2011, 01:25:46 UTC

I knew they'd stashed McCoy someplace when he went barmy, but I've never seen them with my own eyes. Perhaps I shall make a journey to inspect them, soon.

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 01:35:40 UTC

Perhaps you should. Their main benefit is imprisoning people in a place where their supernatural powers are neutralized. I can't say I have ever seen them used for formal arrests.

[Filtered | voice] lists_to_port July 24 2011, 01:50:25 UTC

And what have you seen used for formal arrests, hmmm? It's that type of prison I don't want. No dungeons. No chains. No...no more pillories.

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 02:08:29 UTC

[He isn't sure whether the comments are references to Jack's world or the reality shift awhile back. ...Possibly both?]

Nothing. Without formal laws, there is no formal arrest. Simply warnings and then violence.

There seems to be a common sentiment that residents would rather handle their own affairs, anyway.

Indeed! Glad to see we're on the same page with all this, Silverberg! You looking after Raine alright?

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 02:34:09 UTC

[Bizarrely enough. It suited his interests.]

She is fine; just a little too much water interaction than she was ready for.

[Filtered | voice] lists_to_port July 24 2011, 02:36:46 UTC

What?! What happened?!

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 03:11:53 UTC

[Ah. So Taichi hadn't told anyone? Maybe he had wanted to keep it quiet.] A ... little accident. She swallowed a bit too much seawater.

[Filtered | voice] lists_to_port July 24 2011, 03:24:07 UTC

THAT can be most dangerous, son! Where is she? The clinic? Home?

[Filtered | voice] chikaidestroyer July 24 2011, 03:38:30 UTC

She is at home. She has already recovered. [Seeing as it happened several days ago.]

[Filtered | voice] lists_to_port July 24 2011, 11:39:05 UTC

Right. I'll likely be by soon, then. [No arguments plzthx.]
