Introductions

[lilah_lawyer]

For those of you I've yet to meet, allow me to introduce myself.

Warden Lilah Morgan, former employee of Wolfram and Hart, specialist in legal and supernatural affairs.

Unfortunately, there's no court, but don't let that prevent you seeking legal counsel!

Oh, hello there.

[lilah_lawyer]

Hey-hey...

[supersuitup]

[In a voice laden with innuendo] I could use some 'legal counsel.'

[What does that even mean? Anyway, after a pause, his entire attitude seems to shift into some genuine (and whiny) questioning]

Is it possible to sue for emancipation from a Warden?

Voice, I guess? :)

[lilah_lawyer]

What a fabulous question!

No.

But if you feel your rights are being infringed and can pay my fee, I'd be glad to represent you in court.

Once we have one.

Surely the lack of a court should prevent exactly that? I mean, I haven't witnessed any real complaints procedures yet, but the Admiral does seem to be judge, jury and executioner around here. One isn't even sure which laws apply around here, especially given that at least half the intake is technically deceased...

Ah. I digress. I am Aziraphale, former Principality and current Warden. It's a pleasure, Miss Morgan.

[lilah_lawyer]

Can't say that ever stopped my former employers, before...

For the sake of discussion, however, I'd be happy to volunteer my expertise, if and when an accused party's guilt is in question.

And I see you've already been in conversation with my inmate... You might just be able to assist with a, shall we say, celestial undertaking.

[still_ineffable]

I suppose it might help to have someone about who can put together a coherent argument, given that that seems to be beyond the mettle of most of the inmates and some of the wardens.

Ah, anyway. You're Gabriel's warden, then, I assume? S/he and I have spoken briefly. Was there something particular you had in mind for this...undertaking?

[lilah_lawyer]

In their dimension, it seems people of Earth could commit whatever crime they wanted, ask for forgiveness, right at the end and then... Get it.

Without going too much into it, I know, for a fact, that it wasn't like that, in my own world.

Gabriel got fed up and tried to force change, basically. Force it in a rather naughty way. When they informed me as to their reasons, though, I can't say I entirely disagreed with them... The motivation, anyway.

I'd like someone who's on their level, so to speak, to explain how it's not like that in every dimension. That there usually aren't any spiritual get-out-of-jail-free cards. Due to my former profession, they aren't usually in much of a mood to accept that, when it comes from me.
