Very nice. I liked the look at different ways people fell into the clutches of the Dai Li.

Bit of a note -- for Roman numerals, 5 is V, not X. 10 is X.

*headdesk* Two years of Latin in high school has clearly done me well. That slipped by both me AND the beta... *grumbles*

Thanks for reading - I'm glad you liked it!

No problem. ^_^

Oh, I like this! What an intriguing idea, the way various Joo Dee's were "born." I kind of want to hear more about these girls now. :P This was wonderful.

Thank you! I did sort of have fun writing it - I got the idea at 1 am and actually scrambled by phone light to write the five situations down...

entering into service for the king will get you a nicer home than here in the outer ring

And the thing is, it probably is a ticket to a better life. If you don't mind being someone other than the person you used to be...

As weird as it sounds, I'm more than sure that the Joo Dees are provided for in a half-way decent manner, so definitely, yeah. It's kind of strange to be thinking that even though they're doing this terrible thing to these girl's minds, they're also... rescuing some of them, in a way.

I really like this! I think it's cool to see Ba Sing Se fleshed out like this. And I agree with what tehlobster said, I kind of want to read more about them too.

It was really interesting to figure it out - I could only imagine that pulling from a pool of prisoners or criminals could only last so long, and after a while they had to go someplace else to trick girls. On the other hand... we don't fully know what use they put the Joo Dees, which is something that bugs, but it's so clear that they're well used to training them...

Oh, I love the idea behind this! It's both fascinating and chilling to see how they came to brainwash all of these poor women.

Thank you much! It's one of those things that just came to me in the middle of the night and... guh. I wish we knew more about the whole situation...
