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.

Exactly. They were competing for the crown, but the Lion's sister had nothing to do with that.

Going after family is low.

No no, see, Crown is the sister. Which just makes it worse.

Re: first case

[medpacksapunch]

--I missed that. Oh my god that makes it so much worse. He couldn't have her normally so he kidnapped her?!

He probably wanted-- he could have-- ugh! Good thing Crown's sister is so awesome.

Re: first case

[intheblueblazes]

Lioness had to disguise herself as a boy, probably because Unicorn is a total fuckin' pervert kidnapper.

Re: first case

[medpacksapunch]

I think she was pretty merciful, really. He's not dead, is he? I mean, depending on how important Lioness and Crown are, and where Unicorn is-- that could have been seen as an act of war.

But even so-- a creepy guy kidnapped her sister for probably really gross reasons, she acted quickly and got her sister back. I don't see anything that needs punishing.

[present!!]

Therefore, the beating was within reason.

Re: first case

[medpacksapunch]

Sure. And who says she just showed up and started beating on him though that still would have been okay. Maybe they fought, and in the course of not losing and failing her sister, the Unicorn ended up that hurt.

Echo just wishes there were more detail.

Re: first case

[medpacksapunch]

Well... we could ask, right?

Re: first case

[screwthatnoise]

Yes.

Re: first case

[waits!]

Re: first case

[screwthatnoise]

[ANSWERED! offers over the paper]

There is another person involved.

Re: first case

[medpacksapunch]

...Can you ask why the lover wanted him to?

I mean, not that that means Unicorn is off the hook, necessarily-- he's still responsible for his own actions.

Re: first case

[screwthatnoise]

[hesitates]

...certainly.

[waiting to see what Rin's question get's first :|a]

Re: first case

[intheblueblazes]

Yeah, I mean. Sucks if it was a misunderstanding and an accident to put the guy under. But he's a creepy kidnapper. Job hazards, there. Maybe he shouldn't be that if he doesn't want to be beat up.

Re: first case

[screwthatnoise]

[th...thinking for a moment here]

This would be easier if we knew the motive behind the kidnapping.

Re: first case

[intheblueblazes]

Maybe we can ask!

Re: first case

[screwthatnoise]

...Echo shall ask.
