[Day 4] Hell

[arsgoetia]

Some of you are discussing serious lawyering with the most serious lawyer. Others are reuniting with old friends, or meeting new ones(?) . . . and some of you are just flat-out riding bad decision dinosaur trains.

The adventure continues. ♥

It's very kind of you, but we — I don't even know you!

"If that's your only protest," she says, "we can get acquainted. I'd like nothing more."

[to Elliot]

If you've ever been curious about Hell's idea of courtship... She's a succubus, by the way.

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

I - I'm really not interested in anything like that at the moment.

[to Kaname]

Could you have said that earlier?

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

She looks you over, testing your ~reactions~ to see if they say otherwise.

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you now.

[head towards BOOKS OR STH choose your fate]

[REALLY COMING ALONG RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD. blushing so bad.]

I'm really sorry, Miss a-and I'm sure ... that ... there'll be someone else! But we really do have a court trial to prepare for!

[no nice things for Elliot. even if sex with a succubus would mean he dies.]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

She shrugs and smiles. "Let me know if you change your mind."

THE LIBRARY: IT HAS BOOKS AND PEOPLE what do you want to do.

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

[to Elliot] It's okay. You've escaped.

[PEOPLE seem interesting]

[buries his face in his hands oh god]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

What people would you like to talk to?

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

[going towards the crows, listeninnnng?]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[GOES TO THE NEAREST BOOKSHELF and starts skimming the titles.]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

In a wide variety of language, including a twisted, painful one to look at, you are mostly finding law books, but then, this is the library in the embassy next to the courthouse.

The Crow boys and girls shut up as Kaname approach and turn to him with identical wide smiles.

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

How do you do?

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[he's looking for two types of books: a legal history textbook and one on sentencing ranges]

[though he picks up the twisted and painful one because why not.]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

You can find some of the above, but do you try to read the twisted and painful one?

The Crow smile widely at Kaname. "Good." "Fine." "Well." "Kazuki's doing interesting things." "Pretty good." "I could be better." "We're on break."

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

Here for the case, too, are you? And what's Kazuki getting into this time?

[looking for one with an off eye or not]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[grabs the ones to do with legal history and sentencing ranges and puts them on a table.

Then he creates a folder on his phone, closes his eyes and starts taking photographs of the creepybook. he takes photos of the cover and the first ten pages, just to make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN he gets the table of contents.

then he opens his eyes, puts the book back and starts reading the nearest legal history book]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

That works remarkably well!

The legal history book is extremely boring.

The Crow all have off eyes.

"Are we?" "Are we really?" "Is that what's happening?" "Oh, he's visiting the palace."

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

Yes, there's a case soon. Lucia and Bastien, you might recognize their names.

Whose palace? [>_>]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[Elliot keeps reading because while it is terrifically boring, understanding how their legal system came about will help in the future!

he does, however, desperately want something exciting to happen in it.]

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arsgoetia]

Nothing exciting happens in it. The gist you find after sifting through the words is that since the Fall (which is not gone into in detail) it has emerged that the only thing you can rely on with demons is their word and that they'll try to sneak loopholes in, so in order to be reliably reliable a court exists to force demons to actually be held accountable for the few things they actually DO swear to.

"Yes." "Yes of course." "Yes, we know them." "Yes yes." "Oh, the grand palace where the royal court hangs out." "Yes."

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[arterialmotive.livejournal.com]

You're all very knowledgeable. What's the royal court like?

Re: [The Guest Rooms]

[kepthishead.livejournal.com]

[keeps reading anyway to see if there's anything about how demons are forced to be accountable and court procedure.]
