That is a harsh judgment. What sort of toys do you think would have been better?

[phantom_earl]

Anything that would bring a child delight. Toys are for children to play with, are they not?

[rly_not_mukuro]

How noble a sentiment. You found the toys yesterday to be lacking?

[phantom_earl]

Considering they didn't fulfill their intended purpose, yes.

[misterblackbird]

If the Network functions as it often does, now that you've mentioned her name, she'll likely answer. I know she works with the police force, so if all else fails, contact them.

[phantom_earl]

Do you know what position she serves ? I was told she had authority over certain cases I wish to look into.

[misterblackbird]

I couldn't say specifically, but she has been involved in a number of police investigations in the past.

What is it you're investigating, if I might ask?

[phantom_earl]

Do you think I trust you enough to share that with you, Earl Cain ? There is nothing that makes you absent of suspicion.

[dreamsofnoah]

You'd have made a cute doll~.

[phantom_earl]

That form is more fitting for those who would willingly allow themselves to become another's play thing.

[dreamsofnoah]

I think you'd make a fun plaything, willing or not ♥

[phantom_earl]

I'd much rather be the one playing. I do enjoy my toys very much.

[not_mukuro_rly]

They weren't... bad.

[phantom_earl]

They were a good reminder why not to include a built-in talking function into the toys.

[not_mukuro_rly]

But, if people were toys, then...

They couldn't speak, too.

[phantom_earl]

Do you consider people toys, Miss Dokuro ?

[justasystem]

Toys?

[phantom_earl]

Are you fond of them, Your Highness ?

[justasystem]

I've never really... well. I guess I didn't play much. We had meetings, and... audiences, and things.

[phantom_earl]

A true shame. No child should be denied that kind of joy.
