A computer. I has it.

It's scowling at me and threatening to bite my fingers. Just a moment.

Okay, better.

Anyway, I got my computer back (Thanks smashingrequiem ) and my warm lurky cloak and wand (Thanks

You brought up some interesting points about this ordeal. I was wondering if your parole officer was on the up-and-up or not myself. That command word is a terrible advantage for them to have..

I'm afraid I'm not really that knowledgable about government officials so I wouldn't know what actions to take. It's a shame... there isn't someway to get that parole spell lifted, or at least get a new parole officer/command word of course there would be no way to tell whether the new officer was on the up-and-up or not either..

If only we had someone on the inside already.. that could look into things without raising too much suspicion.

(OOC: For some reason the word "Osuwari" came to mind in regards to the command word XD)

[polymagic_ash]

What's "Osuwari" mean? I tried saying it and I didn't pass out, so it's not the word.

[smashingrequiem]

It's a word meaning 'sit'. Sometimes demons have command words like this when they're bound to a human.

[l33t_magician]

Bound to a human.... [shakes her head to get that thought out of her head]..

You have to admit that "sit" is an amusing command word.

Minstery folk Japanese like Ash?

Parole officer make family lost face do?
Have spell checks family face?

[smashingrequiem]

It's apparently a joint effort, as Ash had Japanese residency.

And that's a thought.

[polymagic_ash]

It's an international organization. I'm not sure what you mean by "family face".

[smashingrequiem]

If the officer can't go outside without facing shame and ostracism, that's an extreme example of 'losing face'. If what he's done affects his family - if they can't find jobs or go to good schools because of what he's done - same thing.

Here we call it losing your reputation or things like that. You don't really see it much anymore.

[polymagic_ash]

Well, I've been in the open for a week without reprisals. Whether that means it's actually safe is a question of personal paranoia.

[l33t_magician]

You could always try coming back and see what happens? I don't think.. there's an immediate threat to you guys anymore.. but who knows for sure.

[smashingrequiem]

For convenience I'd assume 4.

Reasons? When they raided my room the higher-ups seemed content to leave me alone. So I'd think the corruption is further down.

Though why couldn't it be both?

[polymagic_ash]

It's certainly possible it could be both.

[smashingrequiem]

Then focus first on 4. At least that might be within the realm of possibility.

[polymagic_ash]

The problem with assuming 4 is the case is it potentially takes me down a bloody and irreversible road. Hence I want to be sure first, but am unclear on how to determine this.
