Interesting, Commander.

[slightly_knurd]

And bloody useless, too.

[buriedinsands]

Yes, it usually is. But then who rules the police?

[slightly_knurd]

Can't much speak for the police here, Zazie, but I know justice and rightness rule me.

Ever hear the phrase 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?', by chance?

[buriedinsands]

It seems they are outnumbered and ill-suited for a place of so many different cultures. Is that why you were against the argument?

No. We do not know Man's dead languages.

[slightly_knurd]

In a manner of speaking.

"Who watches the watchmen?"

[buriedinsands]

We see. They are not as badly injured as would humans would have been if they gotten involved. They always were the demons of our world.

For here? We watch. We have many eyes and many ears and we watch things that are interesting and human. But there are other watchers not so kind.

[slightly_knurd]

Is that right? And what's there to know about demons?

You misunderstand. Who watches over the watchmen, make sure they're on the side of the people?

[buriedinsands]

Never send in humans to deal with them.

Ahh, but here, no one does.
