Citizens, what are your thoughts on the recent murders?

[Locked to Wolfwood]

Wolfwood-san, do you have any idea where Vash-kun is?

[pitfallen]

I didn't do it, so it's none of my business.

[dubia_lux]

But it happened right here in the City, is that not reason enough for concern? The man murdered in the bookstore in Misery Square was liquified and that killer will most certainly strike again.

[pitfallen]

That's what police are supposed to be for, unless they're crooked.

Besides, I don't even LIVE in the city yet. Haven't been able to find anyone to share the rent.

[dubia_lux]

Have you asked?

Ah. There is no police force here.

[bonenecromancer]

...murders?

[dubia_lux]

Mm. In Misery Square. People were killed in the alleyways and tortured prior to death. The storekeep of the bookstore near the fountain was turned to pulp and placed in a box. I am surprised more people are not aware of this.

[bonenecromancer]

Haven't really been much inside the City itself, so I was unaware.
...and that is a very unique way to kill people.

[dubia_lux]

Yes. Purposefully abnormal.

Where is it that you live if not within the City itself?

[tokunaga_girl]

[dubia_lux]

In Misery Square the night before last.

[tokunaga_girl]

[dubia_lux]

Indeed. Welcome to the City.

[darkest0knight]

I think we need a better system to keep people from killing each other. I'd like those who can't stand against the stronger and more uh...homicidal around here to be protected.

Especially the kids.

[dubia_lux]

We need a police force? At the very least we have something now but a fully active police force would be optimal.

[darkest0knight]

Something like that. Although you'd have to select members carefully. A corrupt police force is always shitty, but considering the abilities of people here thrown into the mix? It'd be disaster if the wrong people applied.

And we have a court system now, I guess, but do people really know what to expect from that, or how it works?

[dubia_lux]

We'd need people proven to possess a sense of justice.

Mm. The courts are vague but better than nothing.

[small_flame]

Killers with no moral codes.

This one has never advocated police involvement, but in this situation... perhaps it is necessary.

[dubia_lux]

Do you believe, then, that murder can be justified?

[small_flame]

In certain situations, this one believes so.

[dubia_lux]

What sort of situation?
