[andexecutioner]

If you'd like to have a private meeting with the Adjudicator, this is where you should go! The Adjudicator is available at almost all hours of the day; just knock and he'll answer.

Comments are screened for privacy; no eavesdropping, that's rude.

[andneversaydie]

Well, yeah. Plus, I figure if you knew anything about it, you'd be out doing that and not here doing this.

[andexecutioner]

[...WELL OKAY THEN]

...Fair point.

That sort of thing's never really interested me, though. I've known a few people who like it, but it's not my thing.

[andneversaydie]

Do you know 'em from home, then? Or... did you work with them?

I guess it's kind of the same thing, usually, but that's just my experience.

[andexecutioner]

More like I met them for a little while. It was kind of a huge part of their lives, so I got to hear about it while they were around.

I didn't really work with them, though, or get to know them all that well.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, I see.

...

Actually... how long have you been doing this? Is it kind of a new thing, or is it just... your regular job?

[andexecutioner]

This is actually my first time doing it like this. My usual job is similar, but not the same - this is more complicated than what I'm used to, and in some ways it's more messed up.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, I see... So is the murder one of the ways it's more messed up, then? Or are there other things we haven't gotten to yet...?

[andexecutioner]

The murder's pretty commonplace, actually.

[andneversaydie]

...So it's... some of the other stuff, then.

[andexecutioner]

Yeah.

[...That is probably not all too comforting, um.]

[andneversaydie]

W-well... I guess that just means I have to do a good job figuring things out, then. Things are looking kind of rough, but we're allowed to investigate whatever, right?

[andexecutioner]

If you want to. It's not like I'm going to stop you unless you're breaking another one of the rules.

[andneversaydie]

Right. That's what I figured.

...

I should probably get to that, huh?

[...It's not like she has anything else to do, but...]

[andexecutioner]

...If you want to go, you can. I'm not throwing you out or anything, though.

[andneversaydie]

Oh... no, it's fine. I was thinking I might want to see if there's anything else to do.

...

I think I should ask you one more thing, though.

[andexecutioner]

Yeah, sure, go on.

[andneversaydie]

...

Do you... want to be doing this?

[andexecutioner]

Yeah, in a way.

I've got kind of a complicated relationship with this sort of thing.

[andneversaydie]

...

I see...

[...she doesn't know what to make of that.]

...Oh! One more thing. Do you like stew?

[andexecutioner]

It's...okay, I guess? Why?

[andneversaydie]

Oh, just... thinking about things.

I'll see you around, then, Juri.

[She heads for the door, then.]
