Ali curls up on one of the convenient couches, dropping a pad in her lap and tapping a pen against it. The visible page is half-full of writing in at least three languages crowded in among the doodles. After crossing her legs she tucks the skirt of her sundress around them before lifting her gaze to the crowd

My first law would be the legalization of assault as long as you had a good reason. Elections would all be democratic, and voters would have to pass a short test. So would parents.

[vicioussweetie]

"What would be a 'good reason'?"

[cheatcoder]

Have you ever worked in retail?

[vicioussweetie]

"I spent several years as a barrista."

[notsirsam]

"I could probably go on for hours." He smiles slightly. "First off, I'd get rid of the bloody Assassins."

[vicioussweetie]

"Only the bloody ones?" she teases.

[notsirsam]

"Any of the buggers've got blood on their hands. Maybe not the students. But that's just a maybe."

[vicioussweetie]

"Hmm. Okay. What next?"

[thereisonelight]

Me, I'd make the law lay off the ladies of the evening.

[vicioussweetie]

"Any particular reason?"

[thereisonelight]

"'cause I've been there. You do it right, stop making it some kind of thing you've gotta bury, and it doesn't hurt anyone. Does some folks some good."

[vicioussweetie]

That earns, at best, a skeptical look.

::shrugs:: Less lynch mobz, I guesses. I dunno vhat else.

[vicioussweetie]

"Always a good thing."

[blueboyscout]

"A lot of the laws currently on earth are adequate, the problem is getting people to follow them."

[vicioussweetie]

"That'll be a problem no matter how good the legal system is."

[blueboyscout]

"Exactly."

((Is this what you were nudging me toward? hehe))

[vicioussweetie]

((Yes. ^.^ Also, MAD ICON LOVE.))

"But I'd still like to write good laws."
