marycatelliHave two heroes debating justice.
Which given that one does law enforcement and the other has conducted some vigilante executions got interesting. All the more in that the executions were of truly horrible necromancers being protected and exploited by the government, and some of their protectors. For some of the time, he was affected by an injury that impaired his judgment.
So, justice, law, decisions, who gets to make them. . . .
It occurred to me today that they will be stopped by a heroine coming in and announcing that their debate is irreconcilable but they can agree that it is foolish for them to debate when they could be discussing how to eradicate the remaining necromancers, which they will agree upon.
Which is a good thing, since there really is no natural stopping point in their debate.
