Progress on killing the Queen: Slow, but remaining optimistic

There's not a solution that doesn't, y'know, involve killing anyone? [Take her word for it, dying is no fun at all.]

[thetrueblow]

So far, it has a one hundred percent success rate with me!

Why, what's your alternative?

[that_one_guitar]

I... um...

[...Well played, Noi. Well played.]

...Diplomacy, maybe?

[thetrueblow]

Do we have anything to bargain with her for?

Do we even know what she wants?

I've done investigative work.

[thetrueblow]

And your results?

[gun_cata]

I meant back home. Haven't checked out the anchors yet, and beyond that I've found all the same things you have. What does anyone have so far?

[thetrueblow]

About the Queen herself?

Really powerful, kind of dumb, maybe a pervert.

About this place in general?

It's a work in progress.

I'm a detective.

For certain values of detective, at least.

[ and at the end of the scroll, she draws the Bat symbol ]

[thetrueblow]

So, you're... a detective in training?

[gravityfists]

Something like that.

I take notes.

[thetrueblow]

Oh, you're an apprentice.

You might want to make sure that killing the Queen won't ruin our chances of going back to our own worlds. Not all of us are content with just making ourselves at home here, you know.

Detective or not, the anchors are something I still want to investigate.

[thetrueblow]

Fine, I'll beat her into a bloody useless pulp and then force her to bring us back. Happy?

So I'm not the only one who paid attention to the High Priestess saying that.

[quarkleader]

If that's the way you want to do things.

Believe me, at least a few of us want to know about the anchors. We just don't have any real clues to go on, apart from what the High Priestess said... which was nothing short of vague to begin with.

[thetrueblow]

I'd really rather prefer to kill her. That's worked out much better for me, every time.

Queen of Hearts, High Priestess, Damsel, Warrior Princess, Vamp... are there any I missed?

[cloudfists]

While I do agree that defeating the Queen is a sound plan, is it really right to kill her?

[thetrueblow]

Why not? That's how things tend to work. Especially when they're flaunting power like this.

[cloudfists]

Are we any better, if we take it upon ourselves to judge who does and does not deserve life?

[thetrueblow]

Why are we talking about being better? It works. That's all that matters to me.
