[he has stayed generally out of things for the most part... but he can't be silent at everything he's read in the newspaper. He doesn't exactly know what's going on in the Everglades but having been here a while he's recognizing it as his duty to find out.

...maybe that was why he was brought here in the first place?]

This vigilante....

There are some horrible things that have happened. That creatures eat humans is the cycle of life and mist is forgiving. Sometimes being dead is easier than being alive. That does not concern me. Even in places where supposedly death does not matter.

(though I would not say it to their faces ha ha ha)

But to torture is an entirely different matter altogether. No one deserves that. I would not even wish that on the one who committed the act.

Perhaps they should be brought to justice? Though I do not know what kind of justice exists in the Everglades. Though I am ever feeling it's my increasing duty to find out. To bring it about if I can.

I have stayed too long in Fayren and have ignored my true calling.

Does anyone know where to live cheap there?

You speak of justice, and yet...

Tell me. How do you know it wasn't a lie? The vigilante made quite a few enemies in his time, especially politically, for not allowing the hunting of innocents or "easy" prey.

What makes you think your justice is right, rather than emotionally reactionary?

Justice is taking the time to thoroughly check all the facts and evidence. Don't believe everything you read just because it's in the newspaper. Newspapers lie more than even normal criminals.

If we can't trust the written word what can we trust? I mean if it wasn't true, they wouldn't let it be written. [and that story was too visceral. Too real]

All justice is emotional. It comes from gut instinct. You feel it and you know it's right.

No.

And no again. Justice can be instinctual, but it must come from knowledge to carry true conviction, otherwise it's just the same as an unthinking beast lashing out.

[Smoker you are saying all the right things. Talk Justice to him, baby. *chinhands*]

[Cue sexy justice sax here.]

I respectfully disagree. One man cannot know another man's truth unless he's swallowed them. [...that turned out wrong.] Er...rather swallowed their spirit... as a Ghost Eater... because then...truth...

[no abandoning that ship]

Justice can only be given by the person in authority because without that then it is just taking the law into your own hands. Here the authority is the words in the newspapers and the bounty therein because if the vigilante had not acted so heinously he wouldn't have gotten a bounty.

What?

[Face palms.] Don't just believe everything you read. I've made that mistake.

Authority isn't just bounties and publishers. You said yourself, true justice has to come from within, not just externally. Talk to Fai, he's the guardian of the place, and the very one Ted tried to rile up as a vigilante. He didn't break any laws, he even convinced criminals to fetch bounties for him. Those are not the actions of an injustice which requires jailtime.

Thank you, Smoker, I appreciate that.

[Tight grin.]

I hope you're ready for a fight, friend.

Because one is surely headed your way.

[But he'll have your back and also get Maribelle to defend.]

[Ted grins in kind]

Wouldn't be much of a vigilante if I wasn't, eh?

[GRINS.]

I thought you gave that up.

[EAR-TO-EAR]

Did I say that? Oh Smoker, you took me for a quitter.

Crime fighting, ridiculous costume, man-against-the-world romance. That's far too idiotic to refuse.

[More laughs.] Oh just the secret identity portion then, I understand completely.

Hah, well as endearing as the 'Mr. Snuffles' moniker is, it is important that credit goes where its due--that is, God, else people get the wrong idea. I'm still uncertain about the mawkish voice, however.

You'll work it out.

Try not to hurt them too much, they mean well.

[He laughs and nods]

Live by faith.

Perhaps... I was never much for philosophy. [sighs] Still if a bounty is called on such a terrible crime, it's not my place to decide whether or not it's appropriate. If he is innocent then the courts or whatever will decide. [waves hand and bites his lip]

Isn't... that the way it works?

I assume that if such events continue the people won't rest well. Justice or not something will happen in the end. One can only hope that the result is a positive one.

I really don't like the tactics used though. I can't believe in a person who goes so far in that direction.

I can't believe in them either. Who knows if it will work out for the best or not but I think everyone should do what they can to try for the happiest solution.

[even if it won't be necessarily happy for themselves.]

I also think everyone should work hard towards hope. And as long as everyone works towards that I'm sure it will all work out for the best.

Yes. That is always easy to say but harder to do. They say that true hope lies beyond the last gate but I've never seen it myself.

It’s scary to think someone would go that far for a cause that probably can’t be achieved.

And sad, really.

But as if cheap places to live… which city are you looking at? :)

It is sad. They truly must be a disturbed individual who needs to be cleansed.

As for where, Everglades.

You live in the Everglades?! Please, be careful. More than ever, now.

But! I heard that Groaznic Village is pretty… decent? I live in Fayren, so I’m not exactly the best guide (´ω｀)

I live in Fayren at present but am thinking of moving so that I can fulfill my duty.

[Reluctant as he is to do so...]

Thanks for the information

Hey, I think your right about the Vigilante. There is a prison in Genessia that's suppose to be able to hold people. Even people with powers, I don't know a lot about it.

Maybe ask someone about that?
As for Fayren, I don't hang out there a lot but there is an Inn that I think was pretty cheap?
Hope that helps.

I have heard rumors too. Perhaps Miss Weiss would know? If it is true it's something that should be made available to the general public because there seems to be a lot of power abuse going on with that... Freezer and everything.

I am considering moving to Everglade so to fulfill my duty... though I already have a spot in Fayren at said cheap inn. It's not bad

Your duty? What is that?

[Airy doesn't know what to do about the power abuse considering her own gifts. No one has gotten hurt, that she knows of yet.]

To help I think. Give protection and provention and all that. It's a bit unclear. I'm still trying to find my way.

You mean that Fai is hiring you?

No as a Ghost Eater. Taking care of the supernatural and all that.

One of my best friends is a ghost...

[he won't ask who that is. Things here are complicated enough]

Ghosts when left long enough by themselves become malevolent or attract the like. It's my job to purge them of the evil and make sure they get beyond the gate. To the afterlife I think. Or things could become a problem.

Yes but if they aren't malevolent? What if they are trying to help people too?

The court does allow leeway, so long as they aren't corrupted by malevolence they may do as they wish provided the court doesn't need them to move on for one reason or another. Once the malevolence begins, however, there is no stopping it.

Then is it okay to wait? I don't want me friend to be forced somewhere he doesn't belong.

[Sigh. Being the only Ranger was frustrating sometimes. Especially if this comes up. Perhaps he could start aiding the Guardian in other ways.]

Or, instead of becoming a vigilante yourself like the one you are swearing against, you can simply join the Everglade Rangers and supply proper aid to protect those here.

That said, there is Assombrada Park and Groaznic Village to live there.

There is such a thing? [He had no idea.] How does one join it?
