[Meeting time! Everyone come in, mingle, greet the newbies. Yuan's sitting at the front of the room, surrounded by more papers than usual, and looking...particularly grim? That seems strange, considering that they've won the big fight.

Haven't they? ...Maybe he's just tired.]

Villains

[cloakand_danger]

The Patrol's prisons are more full than they've ever been, and there are others being contained in separate locations as well. The topic has been breached at other meetings, but it's suddenly become a vital one: we need to figure out a long-term solution for dealing with those who become a threat to others. We need to set up trials to determine sentencing, and the sooner the better. I've looked it up, and the Patrol does have guidelines in these circumstances, for trial if not for sentencing

Guard duty

[cloakand_danger]

One thing we're going to need is a lot of volunteers for guard duty. Impenetrable cells and surveillance systems are all well and good, but there's still nothing that beats careful vigilance. Guarding will be done in paired shifts, preferably no more than four hours at a time, depending on how many volunteers we have.

[haruno]

[ Screw it, she makes her journal dictate this: ]

Are we going to have swing shifts and the ability to switch out should we need to be away from the jailing centers for a time?

[cloakand_danger]

Absolutely. No one will ever be required to stay longer than they're comfortable with. [A sardonic smirk.] We don't need to torture ourselves when the castle can do that for us.

[haruno]

[ She smiles a little, snorting. Yeah, no reason to pile on the torture. ]

[odst_mute]

May as well count me in, sir.

[Was still sorta hanging off to the side of everyone else, but this topic got his attention long enough for him to speak up. Which at least confirmed that Rookie hadn't fallen asleep yet - not that he intended to.]

Might also be able to do a little more than four hours, if you need it.

[kungfuwitch]

I'd like to volunteer.

[cricketycricket]

I'll take guard duty for Legato once his cell's properly finished. I'm almost through fitting the Zero plating.

[jamesholmes]

[Pfft no secret here why he's volunteering.]

I would like to volunteer as well.

[ectobabble]

M'not much of a fighter, but if I'm gonna be down here keeping an eye on the containment unit, I might as well help keep an eye on the prisoners, too. I can at least call over the journal for backup if I need it, yeah?

[looks a little annoyed]

The sooner the better is right! Leroy's been in there for what, two, three months now? When this could have been solved way earlier. He even practically turned himself in, to begin with.

[there's a little huff, before she continues]

And there's probably no one who could serve as a jury for the trial for Riful or Arthas or Legato, but what evidence do we even need to present? Even if people don't believe they're responsible for all of those murders of townspeople, they obviously wanted everyone dead. There's no point in even having a trial - we just need a sentence.

[haruno]

[ Thumbs up from Sakura. Leroy's situation has even annoyed her, from a legal standpoint, with the BS (in her mind) that is legality around here. ]

[nurse_boy]

[okay, that raises his hackles. Rory speaks up]

There should always be a trial. Always. What if it was someone acting under the influence of the castle, or something else?

[he's got personal experience with this]

[yamanaka]

[klsadjsa. SORRY RORY, she's just lifting an eyebrow, kind of surprised and annoyed that anyone would, well, defend them, in a way]

You're kidding me, right? Riful is a known problem in her own world, and she's been causing problems practically since she got here - and from the sounds of it, years beforehand in her own world, too. Legato's been causing problems for a long time here, too. Unless you're telling me he's been on a year long loss, or under a year long spell? Arthas was acting under the influence of his sword, that much is true - but we don't need a trial to know that. Just talk to Jaina and the Windrunners.

As for the others that were helping with the kidnapping, I guess it's a possibility, but I see no reason those three should have any kind of trial.

[nurse_boy]

[crosses his arms over his chest]

But if we make an exception for them, where does it stop? The next time something like this happens, and--and there's supposed to be a trial, what if someone says something like--I dunno--"Well, they've shown signs of this before, clearly they always meant to." And then it goes right back to everyone being thrown in jail without a chance to defend themselves.

[then he sits back, looking very uncomfortable and a bit surprised at himself]

It's just ... it's a slippery slope. I don't like it.

[cloakand_danger]

Rory is absolutely right. I don't necessarily like it any more than you do, Ino, but if we're going to set an example of lawful behavior, we need to set the standard high. That means the rules apply to everyone, even the open and shut cases.
