You're watching us, aren't you?

I have a proposition for you.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

That is unfortunate. What payment are you willing to give?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

... [His knowledge of godawful fanfiction is so scant.]

What would you like to see more of in the Story? Prior stipulations excluded.

[Yeah, he'll play your game. He won't like it, but he will.]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Drama.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

That is a very broad spectrum.

Romantic drama? Comedic drama? Historical drama?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Any and all are welcome. However, in your particular case, romantic drama would be preferred.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

[...That's new. Someone wanting L to be a casanova? What's wrong with this girl? And half of the internet?]

You are suggesting I... ask someone out?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

It is only a suggestion. You may consider other options that appeal to you.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

...

How long will I be expected to perpetuate the... courtship?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

As long as you wish to pay for your justice system.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

[That's what he was afraid of.]

I have prepared a list of laws, a simple judicial system and possible repercussions. I can send you the files to approve.

[He's not expecting she'll go along with everything he's laid out, but speaking with a little authority can't hurt.]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Tell us now what you wish.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

[He rehashes what was established in the OOC plot post, because Het is too lazy to write all that shit out again. Although he's arguing for something harsher than that, being L. He does expect to get turned down for all of it, but he's hoping to haggle so he will get something more than he would have gotten otherwise.]

We will not isolate characters. But we will allow you to hurt characters, and we will allow you to kill characters.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

...

Would you allow certain restrictions on characters?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

What sort?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

Disallowing the violent access to weapons, for instance.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

That cannot be a permanent solution. Nothing in a story can be unchangeable.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps a probation period. They will be able to earn back the privilege or simply wait out a sentence.

[Like in real life.]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Two weeks without weapons for those who committed a crime with a weapon.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

A month for assault. Longer for murder and sexual assault.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

No more than six months.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

[He would argue for longer, but he's hoping he'll have somehow found a way out by then.]

All right. Six months.

Murder and sexual assault should have another punishment. Harsher. Their behaviour should not be tolerated.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Is the wrath of the victim's friends too little?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

Vengeance is not justice.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Consequences will not last forever.
