RULER: Kunzite | EX-CONSORT: Heliodor -- NEW CONSORT: IOLITE

[dramatispersonae]

"As a ruler, I have many responsibilities, and one that I am -- at least, to the best of my knowledge -- relatively known for is my willingness to hear people's cases and provide some form of legal ruling on them. It has always been important to me to be fair, merciful, and kind. Of course, I need not do this all by myself.

In this game, I will present to you some suits and ask you to discuss between yourself and the team you are partnered with to rule on their situations and their requests."

Guinevere finishes speaking, and you find yourself in a tent with one other team.

RULER: KUNZITE
CONSORT: HELIODOR

((OOC: For various reasons, I need to move along the teams reeeeelatively at the same pace at various points, so there may be occasional delays for some teams. I apologize in advance if this happens!))

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

A wealthy man has gone away to war and left behind his wife. It has only been three months and the war isn't over, so he isn't expected to return yet, but all her neighbors have been receiving letters and money from their spouses and she has received nothing, and her marriage contract gives her no rights to the wealth of his estate until he dies. She has sent letters to the front and received no information at all, nor have any of her attempts to learn more of his situation brought any news. She can only assume that he has died, and in light of that, wishes to both keep his estate and remarry a man of her acquaintance. Should she or should she not be permitted to either or both of these?

Are these the sorts of questions that humans have to deal with?

Possibly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ your luck man ]

So.

Hey there.

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

You don't know?

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

Oh, a knight. Hello.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tuffguy]

Usually I'm the one asking questions and not the one answering them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

Well, human affairs are generally of no consequence to me, but all that's needed here is a decision, correct?

Re: DISCUSSION

[tuffguy]

Pretty much.

So, what do you think? It's kind of possible that the husband already died...

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

It's likely, but either way, I don't see any reason she should be restrained from doing what she wants to based on arbitrary rules. Let her remarry and use the money, and if her husband comes back they can work things out.

Ah—hello . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Hello . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

My name is Milla. You'll be helping us out today, then?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

Yes. I'm not sure what . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

Not sure what?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oedipuswreck]

[gestures]

These questions. What do you think?

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

It's not the sort of thing I usually have to deal with, but I don't see any problem making a decision.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tuffguy]

It'll be really awkward if does come back though...

[ not exactly disagreeing though, just stating a fact ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tuffguy]

Sooo, looks like we're working together here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[spiritwilling]

It's her choice, and she'll have to deal with the consequences. If she wants to save herself "awkwardness," she can wait until the war is over to remarry. I don't see why we should make that decision for her.
