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.

Man... look, I didn't think much about it at first, and I'm not a huge deep thinker... but the only thing we know for fact is "kidnapper." What reasons are gonna be good? It sucks that he got put in a coma, and if he was fine I'd just dump him in jail... if he's, I dunno, a nice misunderstood kidnapper and Crown's some kinda mastermind it's extra shitty.

But I don't get getting pissed off at Lion and just focusing on making sure she gets what she deserves. You're all offended about justice but it sounds more like you got a chip in your arm about it than anything else.

Any and all criminals involved in the act deserve a just punishment determined by a fair trial and a jury of their peers.

The Lioness stands out only in that she sought to seek punishment by her own hands and act outside of the system of law that was in place.

You wanna work inside this system of law? This system of law looks pretty shitty. Did you just hear that bullshit answer we got? Your system of law literally juts said they don't give a shit about Crown.

Then we should work to change it.

By punishing her sister?

By holding a fair court where the voices of all may be heard equally.

Re: first case

[intheblueblazes]

Okay, that sounds awesome, and actually logical, except what then?

Re: first case

[oneknightstands]

Punishment will be decided by the court and meted out against those who stand accused by the powers that stand to enforce the law.

Re: first case

[intheblueblazes]

O...okay, also awesome, but we're the court here. If we don't have enough information to do it fairly, shouldn't we leave her alone? If we do anything extreme we could be fucking something big up.

That would be acceptable.
