That trial was so cool! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I always find legal systems fascinating, but I've never had the chance to observe one taking place in a city such as Discedo. This place reminds me of Lord of the Flies, to be honest. I expected something crude and simple, but the trial was most effective.

This reminds me. As a

Lord of the Flies? I don't think I've heard anyone make that comparison before.

If the trial had been ineffective, any attempts at structuring a legal system would have been likely to fail.

It's similar though, isn't it? I've been stranded on an island before, but this is a much larger example. With monsters.

It's a good thing the trial was effective, then!

I suppose it is. I have to admit, I never thought to compare the two. It seems that most of the people here are far more fond of comparing it to Purgatory or Hell, though.

Yes, it is. For a number of reasons.

[not_a_simpson_k]

Don't you think Hell would have more people? Not that I believe in Hell or anything. I'm a buddhist.

Well, aside from declaring a verdict, it also showed that the city was capable of banding together and establishing some small sort of order. If anything, it might also serve as a deterrent, wouldn't you think?

There was a trial? It would have been interesting to see a fair one for once...

Is Lord of the Flies a book too? There's a library at the High school, I was going to look there to see what books it had left.

You can come with me if you like. Maybe it has a copy.

Re: [voice]

[not_a_simpson_k]

Aren't all trials fair to some degree? Some do come with bias, but nothing is ever completely without bias.

I'd love to come with you! Oooh, I'd love to be able to read something again. I have the complete works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series in my backpack, but that can only last me a few days or so!

[comeinpurple]

Not back home, unfortunately. But that's what happens when you live under a tyrannical government.

Awesome! Should I meet you at Latmir? I can show you the way to the school from there.

Re: [voice]

[not_a_simpson_k]

Yeah, I guess tryannical governments would be an exception.

Sure! I'd like that!

[imgreenbitch]

Vegetarian? Dude. I'm barely gettin' used to the thought of no more chili dogs.

[not_a_simpson_k]

I think you mean "dudette."

[leaveit2deutsch]

I wish I could've seen the trial! I missed it. Maybe I'll come and see the next one with Germany.

[not_a_simpson_k]

Germany? Hah! That guy is such a moron! He doesn't even know he's going to lose the war!

[leaveit2deutsch]

Waah! D-don't tell Germany that! He really doesn't know! He's from the past!

[not_a_simpson_k]

I already told him. It almost sounded like he was taking notes, too. He kept asking me questions.

After the what the last bit of fruit did...I'm a little weary of it; the grounds not to good here but somehow some stuff grows.

If you can't find a roommate you could try to a find an apartment for yourself!

Re: [Voice]

[not_a_simpson_k]

I've never lived alone before. I'm not very good at cooking or anything like that.

[Voice]

[cerebral_foxy]

Living alone isn't so bad; a little scary the first few nights but then it's just like having a really big room.

You don't have to worry about cooking- the cafeteria provides food. I haven't had to cook since I got here!

Re: [Voice]

[not_a_simpson_k]

It has nothing to do with being scary. It's just more fun to have a roommate, is all, and duties are shared.
