[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?

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?
