[Yu is frowning at his parchment when the video starts; he continues for a moment, turning the paper over in his hands, examining it closely, thoughtful and maybe a little...hm, bewildered. Concerned.

He puts it down when he realizes the video is ready to record.]

Has anyone had a change in the crime they were charged with, after they got here? If so, was there a catalyst, or did it seem random?

[... he hesitates for a second before adding,] For those it applies to: did the new charge seem more fitting, or less?

... Thanks.

[He turns it off there.]

I could walk in and kill one of them to test their mortality but I'm not in the mood to be incarcerated should I be proven wrong.

[izanagis]

You mean you're not eager for a brand new sentencing? I'm shocked.

[emet_sulk]

If community service is all I'm expected to perform for it then I would say 'tis an extremely lenient sentencing.

Not that I'm eager to leave.

[izanagis]

You're not? Can I ask why?

[emet_sulk]

I have been informed that I will die and that my plans to restore my star will die with me.

[izanagis]

Oh. I...guess that makes sense. I'm sorry.

[emet_sulk]

Aye, and someone I know who should have been long dead is miraculously returned to me alive.

So, no, I shall not be leaving any time soon. Nothing pleasant awaits me.

[izanagis]

I understand. It's strange, though...if they know so much about us, shouldn't they know that you don't want to go back? Why keep offering that as incentive?

[emet_sulk]

[ He wants to sigh here. ]

Because there is a chance that if I return then I might change my fate, I suppose.

They dangle that before me as bait. I see it for what it is yet hope is a potent thing.
