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):

The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the Crown
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And Some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.

Now Echo pities the Unicorn. It seems like the Lioness made a snap judgement in critically injuring him. However, Some does deserve some type of punishment.

And Crown sounds like nothing more than an item. No wonder she has no testimony.

That's creepy as hell though, if it's a person... Man, why aren't we doing this all at one time or something?

"Justice is blind," I guess.

Re: second case

[intheblueblazes]

That's so dumb. Justice needs to know this shit. I mean, that much I agree with Justice Knight on.

Re: second case

[wantsfear]

You do have to wonder about this Persona's idea of justice, yeah.

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

It makes no sense.

Re: second case

[wantsfear]

There's a lot about this place that doesn't make sense.

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

True. Echo has already heard this numerous times.

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

Because the Queen is a difficult person.

Mm,yeah... I still don't think Lionness should be punished, so I'm glad for the call we made-- she was working with the information she had, after all.

Why was Some so mad, though? I mean... if Lioness was paying for her and her sister now, wouldn't that make Some's life easier?

Re: second case

[intheblueblazes]

Maybe they left her behind in the dust? Still no excuse to go totally murder manipulating kidnapper psycho though.

Re: second case

[medpacksapunch]

So what...spurned lover? Spurned lover who thought kidnapping Lioness' sister would fix everything?

Re: second case

[wantsfear]

Or she just wanted revenge. Not that that's an excuse.

Re: second case

[medpacksapunch]

Right... either way I can see what would cause it, but it doesn't make it okay.

Re: second case

[wantsfear]

I agree.

So what would you do with someone who tries to kidnap and poison people?

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

Perhaps Some was madly in love with the Lioness. I do not know how mad love works, that is Zwei's territory.

Hm. Lioness should have educated herself on the situation. I cannot say I support her decision when the Unicorn was blindly played into this.

Re: second case

[medpacksapunch]

Sure... but-- if someone that important to me had been kidnapped, I wouldn't really want to waste any time. If she felt like she had the skills necessary to rescue her sister, I'm glad she did. But I don't think we need to change the previous verdict, in either case. Lioness was manipulated like Unicorn, it sounds like.

I guess mad love works, but it's not really very sympathetic.

[watches...?]

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

It seems that the Unicorn did it to make Some happy.

Re: second case

[intheblueblazes]

Well, at least we put her to work and got her to work on her temper. Unicorn still did it.

Mmmaybe Some gets jailtime for crazy kidnapping and poison plots.

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

Echo never said she didn't have to fix it.

What will jailtime do? Give her more time to think?

Re: second case

[intheblueblazes]

Keep her from being crazy at other people?

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

...this is frustrating.

[—placing a hand on her wrist and taking a deep breath]

There are two crimes to look at.

1) Some (with the use of the Unicorn) kidnapped Crown.
2) The Lioness critically injured the Unicorn.

Some certainly deserves punishment. Maybe something more than jailtime. But the Lioness should also receive punishment, in keeping fairness for the Unicorn. The Unicorn should have known better than to kidnap the Crown, yes, but...

Re: second case

[screwthatnoise]

I don't know. This is too much.
