M-murder? No, certainly not! Murder is most certainly not a good place to start! I-it's not good!

heelsandlaw January 4 2011, 09:40:21 UTC

That was not meant to be recorded. You're misunderstanding me, though I can't blame you.

I know it's not good, that's why it'd be a good place to start. I'm working - or rather just started to work - on a criminal code. Homicide should be a crime, wouldn't you agree?

axeofoath January 4 2011, 15:18:48 UTC

O-oh, ah...I-I see, then...My apologies for misunderstanding!

I would agree that murder is a crime, yes.

heelsandlaw January 4 2011, 15:20:31 UTC

So if you agree that murder should be a crime, wouldn't you also agree that it's a good starting point for a criminal code?

No worries about misunderstanding, though. It's a pretty strange statement, taken out of context.

axeofoath January 4 2011, 15:42:26 UTC

A criminal code? Are you going to establish some laws?

heelsandlaw January 4 2011, 15:48:04 UTC

I'm certainly going to try, yes.

axeofoath January 4 2011, 16:15:29 UTC

Are there none yet in place? That seems awfully strange for a city, epecially one of this size.

heelsandlaw January 4 2011, 16:20:01 UTC

None. There used to be some sort of justice system, apparently, but it's all gone now.

axeofoath January 4 2011, 16:27:29 UTC

Truly? Yet there doesn't seem to be any lack of order, besides those--ah, curses, were they? Perhaps the people here are capable of living together by their own morals.

heelsandlaw January 4 2011, 16:30:35 UTC

You mean other than homicide and assault on the open street unrelated to curses? I don't think people are capable of that. Especially not a bunch as diverse as the one here.

axeofoath January 4 2011, 18:33:12 UTC

...S-such things have been happening? [Oh dear. Maybe he should be paying more attention.]

heelsandlaw January 5 2011, 11:04:36 UTC

Such things have been happening.

axeofoath January 5 2011, 15:39:33 UTC

H-how seriously?! Should I be guarding the young master's room at night? W-w-what if somebody breaks in and tries to k-kidnap him?

heelsandlaw January 5 2011, 15:43:57 UTC

I don't think it's quite that bad. If we're being technical about it, though, kidnapping isn't a crime here. In the legal sense.

axeofoath January 5 2011, 15:47:57 UTC

W-well, it should be. Second to murder, yes, but...I see you're correct that some official laws are much needed.

heelsandlaw January 5 2011, 15:53:13 UTC

I do believe kidnapping might be punished, regardless, but that punishment then doesn't have a legal basis either.
