Murder is not funny

OK. So. There's been a heap of confessions lately and I'm gonna hope that the ones confessing to murders and mass killings are only joking.

Right?

'Cause otherwise I may have to arrest you.

Like by saying... 'you're under arrest'.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

And then...?

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

And then I slap the cuffs on.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

And how do you intend to arrest someone from another world, hm?

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

I'll find a way. Worldhops, yeah?

Why? You saying I should arrest you?

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

I haven't done anything to require legal action against me, in your world or mine.

But I'm only concerned that you may be getting ahead of yourself. Where will you try these criminals? They aren't from your world; none of the crimes they've committed will be recognizable to your courts. And what if what they've done is considered legal in their world?

I simply don't know if you've thought this through.

I'm just putting it out there that there are some people who won't just allow senseless murderers to escape justice.

If you've done nothing wrong then you don't have anything to worry about, sir or madam.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

Sir.

If you insist, then I suppose I have no choice but to tell you the truth. Everyone on here is a murderer.

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

You're lying. I've seen little kids around here.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

Children can be murderers too. Trust me.

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

Not all of them.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely no fun, you know that?

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

I can be fun...

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

Being fun implies playing along! Even if it's just for a little bit.

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

I cant play along with crimes...

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

They're not real crimes, you know. They aren't happening on your world, after all.

[jjadams.livejournal.com]

How do you figure they're not real crimes just because they're not near my precinct? Crimes happen in other countries - they're still real crimes.

[liberationis.livejournal.com]

Yes, but these hardly affect your world. They're more like plays, if you will, that the community is graciously allowing us to watch as they unfold. Why ruin such involving stories with the need to intervene? The storyteller knows what they're doing. They'll take it down the perfect path for us, and all we have to do is wait and see what path that may be.

... That's a weird way of looking at it.
