We have a suspect in Stoneface's murder; this person has been approached and informed of the evidence against them. For their own safety, neither this person's name nor their location is being released for the time being, as a legal and judicial system is still being developed. Once it's done, it will be made available for public input; this will

Why not kill him? Or imprison him?

[felinemystique]

We don't have prisons here. And killing someone outright without process would hardly serve to build the Watch's credibility.

[sting_to_death]

Why? If he's the culprit, he should pay for it. And if he isn't, it'll be a lesson for the real murdered.

[felinemystique]

You really have no idea why the Watch would want to act in a manner to ensure the trust and support of the people they're supposed to be protecting?

[ambitious_fire]

So you caught the person maybe? That's great news.

[felinemystique]

It is, but there's plenty more work to be done yet.

[ambitious_fire]

There always is, but every little bit helps. I'll keep supporting the guard and watch people however I can.

[live_ringer]

Good to hear progress has been made, both in snagging a suspect and in setting up a judicial system so things are carried out in a fair manner.

How are all the people who've been pitching in, by the way, yourself included?

[felinemystique]

It's slow going at times, but hardly for lack of effort.

Those who were injured are recovering well enough, thankfully. We should be back up to full strength soon, and when Stoneface returns, we can start transitioning Watch duties back over from the Guard.

[live_ringer]

Hey, better slow-going and carefully done than the alternative.

Good to hear it.

[felinemystique]

That's my preference, yes. I find it saves quite a bit of trouble in the long run.

[feathered_earth]

[slowly written] That's good.
