[video] rebel without a cause

[maddest]

What an exciting week!

In light of all the discussion, Adstringendum, let's chat- who would you trust to nominate as ombudsman?

You are referring to a counsel?

How would the members be chosen?

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not a counsel- one man or woman who sits aside from an organization like a counsel, and takes them to task if they stray too far from their purpose.

Someone who settles disputes and looks out for the welfare of everyone. [She nods.] Mikos are often given such positions.

Mikos?

[Video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

Priestesses.

Ah. Ideally, I think we might look for someone with religious affiliation, given the nature of a substantial amount of the conflict that occurs here. The ombudsman would have to represent everyone fairly.

Religion has nothing to do with who I protect. If their hearts are pure then I will heal them, guide them and even defend them. I spent the latter part of my life doing just that for my village.

And if their hearts aren't pure?

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

Their intentions would be monitored.

That's precisely what I'm fighting against. Your morality is not absolute! Your definition of 'purity' is relative. Those of us who don't fit it did not consent to have your will imposed upon us.

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

I never said it was. [Don't jump to conclusions now.] I would set myself against those hurting others. If your intentions weren't pure and you didn't act on them, I would let you be.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Better.

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

I don't waste arrows.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Anyways, that isn't really what we're talking about.

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

But it is. How do you think I mete out punishment?

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ombudsmen.

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

[Just this look.

But then...]

I don't particularly care what decision you make. As long as no one interferes with my duties.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Your duties?

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

There is a Hanyou I must dispose of.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

A Hanyou?

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

Half-demon.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

That's unreasonable.

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

Explain.

[video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Half-demon, half what else?

[video]

[k-i-k-y-o.livejournal.com]

Human.
