[... it has been long enough since that other thread that I do not know how to not Compromise the questions asked so since Juri went and killed the girl she likes again now IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER ANGEL VISIT but this time with a purpose beyond just asking rules questions.

Knock knock.]

[andexecutioner]

Yeah, come in.

[The office looks...pretty similar to how it did last time she came in here; a few more stuffed cats on the shelves because Ferid has a problem, the brown and white one is gone entirely, Walter White's dumb hat is in here...but otherwise everything still seems to be more or less in order.

He seems decidedly less agitated than he did before, too, so at least there is that.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[Clearly the cats are where he's putting everyone's souls that's my new

pet

theory.

But Angel does walk in and do her very best not to call him very rude names.]

They don't... have any need for room keys, do they? The dead, I mean.

[andexecutioner]

[...Huh.]

I'd say not.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Could... you get me Chitoge's? A copy of it would work too, but.

[andexecutioner]

[Ah...right.]

Yeah. That won't be a problem.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Thanks. Requests get filled... end of the week, right?

[andexecutioner]

You want it tonight, you can have it.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Oh! Then yeah, please. That'd be great.

[andexecutioner]

All right, then. It'll be done.

[He shrugs a bit once that's out there, though.]

Anything else?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Nope, that's about it.

[... although.]

What kinds of things won't you give people, if they ask? Since I know some people have gotten actual stuff from you. I'm going to go ahead and guess you wouldn't go get me a Hyperion Conference Call if I asked, but I actually don't know.

[A HYPERION CONFERENCE CALL, FOR THE RECORD SINCE HE MIGHT KNOW, IS A SHOTGUN THAT SHOOTS PELLETS AND THEN THE PELLETS SHOOT OTHER PELLETS OUT TO THE SIDE AS THEY TRAVEL. IN ANY UNIVERSE BUT THE BORDERLANDS ONE IT IS A N I G H T M A R E.]

[andexecutioner]

[...this is on par with that time during round one where someone wanted a gun that shot exploding things, ie they wanted to use explosions to shoot more explosions

and now we want pellets that shoot other pellets

what the hell is wrong with everybody

...that said, though, he's just going to...blink for a second, hang on.]

It would depend on why you wanted it, in that particular circumstance.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[IT WAS HYPOTHETICAL..........]

Okay, got it. I don't actually... well, I definitely don't need one of those. I'm not planning to kill anyone here. I just wanted to know if there were hard no items.

[...]

Just one other thing, I guess.

[andexecutioner]

There probably are, but I haven't run into any requests like that yet.

[So there's that.]

But go ahead with your other thing, though.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[It's time for THIS IS TOTALLY A RANDOM EXAMPLE AND NOT AN ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT THE MORAL VALUE OF HER PAST ACTIONS IN THIS LEGAL SYSTEM AT ALL. And hey, maybe Juri likes riddles or something.]

So... there's a kingdom, ruled by a king who murdered his way to the throne. And he keeps his daughter locked in a tower, where she has to use these magic crystals that the king's servants mine to fuel her powers that let that king stay in power. And the flow of the crystals has to be constant, or she'll die. In secret, the princess calls on a group of mercenaries from a kingdom the king wants to use her powers to scorch the land and kill every single living being in and tells them how to get past the gates of the tower and slay the dragon guarding it, so that they can destroy the stockpile of crystals, stopping the flow and killing her.

Applying the rules of this game, and... in your personal opinion, if that's different, is it the king, the princess, or the mercenaries that are responsible for her death?

[andexecutioner]

[...jesus, angel.

He'll listen to all of that, though; it actually doesn't take him long at all to reply, though - his response is prompt, though possibly not for the reason she might think.]

My thoughts on it are different than the outcome required by the rules of the game.

According to the game, the princess is responsible for her death, using the mercenaries as a weapon.

According to my personal thoughts on it, though, the king is.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[That... is not actually what she was expecting? Shoutout to Juri with the thoughts and opinions and shit. Just a second here, let her just... go back to not looking surprised.]

Why the king?

[andexecutioner]

From the sound of it, the king's the one that drove her to do it in the first place.

[He tips his head slightly after that's out there, his brow furrowing a little as he does so.]

Obviously, I can't know everything about the situation based only on what I've been given here. I'm sure the king has his own version of events detailing what happened and why.

But he's the one that put her in that situation. Happy people don't call on mercenaries to come murder her by proxy. So the one who caused the princess' misery is responsible.
