I have a question that perhaps someone in the City's police department can assist me with.

I've been going through records and while I've found a number of attempted statutes and by-laws, and even records of a now-defunct courthouse system ruled over by the deities, I'm having trouble finding laws, and how the police department has any power

Do you miss me so much, Saya?

[byweavinglives]

I have a slight problem when justice gets carried out by one body of idiots.

[Pause]

And yes.

[shifts]

They're only trying their hardest to keep the City streets free of miscreants such as myself.

We could video chat while you work. I could make various complaints and not actually partake in my responsibilities.

[byweavinglives]

Yes, I'm sure you are the most dangerous form of villain that is present here.

This isn't really the same.

I hadn't realized any of your people had run afoul of the so-called laws.

I seem to be the number one employer of low-level felons in the City.

[She's exaggerating]

How charitable of you.

[byweavinglives]

It seems I'm kinder than people make me out to be.

But I would prefer to know which law he broke.

You're mistaken. There's no justice system... no trials.

It's more like a... police state.

So why do we listen?

[council_king]

Do we~?

[byweavinglives]

No.

[A hacking cough, and then - ]

Are laws so important?

[ voice ]

[byweavinglives]

Only to those who listen to the police.

[ voice ]

[i_archmagus]

And to those who don't?

[ voice ]

[byweavinglives]

Then the question of if we are living in a police state is hardly your problem.

[stopbleepingme]

I'd appreciate seeing whatever you've found, too. Or haven't, I suppose...

[byweavinglives]

Yes, of course. No one's managed to come forward, yet.

[stopbleepingme]

Digital files would work best, I'm a bit busy with my own work at the moment.

[byweavinglives]

I'm sure whatever it is, it isn't an enormous text of law.
