...And Justice for All

[timewardrums]

The powers around here seem to think this Alice girl is quite the troublemaker. I do know trials and politics pretty well, but something about this whole decision doesn't really stick with me. Perhaps I didn't have enough for breakfast this morning, but I think it has something more with being deemed guilty against the beliefs of many a Mansion

What did she do exactly?

[timewardrums]

Nothing, I fear, that deserves the punishment she will receive.

[shewashuman]

That Queen is really cruel isn't she?

[timewardrums]

She's cruel. But I know you must have seen somethings. And I have definitely seen colder beings in the universe, yes?

[shewashuman]

That's what they say. Oh yeah I've definitely seen somethings. And you well...I know you've had more than your fair share of those sort of encounters.

[timewardrums]

Knowing that...think there's something we can do to stop things like this from happening?

[shewashuman]

I'd say have a bit of a chat with the Queen but I don't know how much good that'd actually do. Probably end up doing more harm.

What do you think? Any brilliant ideas yet?

[timewardrums]

It seems my brilliance must have left some itself behind when I came here, because I'm left a little blank at the moment. I've been throwing darts at the wall, brainstorming on paper, playing a bit of Pictionary, but nothing seems to stick.

[shewashuman]

No tea?

Maybe you just need a bit of inspiration. Hmm...

[timewardrums]

Ah, well, I was figuring that tea is meant to be enjoyed amongst others.

Inspiration in any form is always welcomed. Nothing like a fresh idea.

[shewashuman]

It's a good thought. I sort of agree. No progress on the teleport device?

Well how about trying to charm her? Maybe you can get through to her? Which reminds me...Where's your sonic screwdriver?

[timewardrums]

I'm doing what I can, but you had better make yourself comfortable. It could take a while.

I can try that, for certain. I knew there was a reason I keep you around. As for the screwdriver, I'm certain I had it, but I bet the Queen took it away. You know her: can't have anything more powerful than she is around.

[shewashuman]

It's alright. No real rush.

That's the only reason you keep me around?

Oh that's just not right. Maybe you can make a better one, yeah?

[timewardrums]

Good...because I'm enjoying our time here. And there's plenty of reasons I keep you around. There are just some I can't say in front of everyone in particular.

A better one is most certainly possible. I mean, look at me.

[shewashuman]

As do I. Wouldn't really trade it for anything in the world. And I can understand that. Yeah.

Exactly. You're just brilliant. I'm sure it probably wouldn't even take you all that long.
