You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.
Apple in the morning -- Doctor's warning.
Roast apple at night -- starves the Doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed -- knock the Doctor on the head
Three each day, seven days a week -- ruddy apple, ruddy cheek

Not really.

Usually, trolls just get killed. Or, they're left alone, until they do something, to someone higher on the hemospectrum than them.

...

"Hemospectrum"?

We're kind of, divided by blood color? Mine is brown, and, pretty much at the bottom, minus one other caste.

So... yeah.

...................

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

[shrugs!!]

That is, just how it is.

Well it's dumb. You can't just have your place in society dictated like that because of something as superficial as the colour of your blood.

That's kind of, how it has always been.

That doesn't make it any less stupid!

I... guess?

Um, maybe we could, talk about the case, and I could show you something about troll culture later, if you wanted.

--Oh. Right.

Well, the death penalty is stupid. There. I'm done.

Should we just, put him in jail, then?

That's what jail's there for! Put him in the slammer.

How long, should we put him in for? Life?

Life, with a chance for parole after a certain amount of time and regular therapy.
