Out of pure, idle curiosity, how active a part does the law play concerning imPorts? Vigilantism has been covered quite thoroughly. No ambiguity there. But what about everything else? Say... theft, extortion, or murder; to name a few. Do the same rules apply?

What I'm getting at is: how blurred are the lines between good behavior and bad in the eyes of the law here? The fact that we're here to act as super powered errand runners means we get some leeway. But how much? Knowing how much we can get away with would be helpful to some, I'm sure... and perhaps a comfort to others.

Idle curiosity, huh? [A beat.] I figure they'd probably send some of us to take care of it.

[entirely_empathetic]

I'm sure they would. I'm curious as to what the consequences will be afterwards though.

Can we not? Listen, buddy, I am at least ninety eight percent certain that going around murdering, extorting and stealing from people isn't going to go over well with either the community or our governmental grubsitters. Mostly the community. If you're looking to get publicly lynched, though, go right ahead.

[entirely_empathetic]

I'll take the advice to heart. That said, what the hell is a grubsitter?

[godly]

Are you seriously asking if the same rules apply to acts such as murder?

[entirely_empathetic]

I could have worded it better as the collective reaction to murder is rather obvious.

On the other hand, it certainly got attention, didn't it.

Seems kind of a dumb question, don't you think?

[entirely_empathetic]

I guess it would all depend on what answer I was looking for, wouldn't it? I've definitely gotten some entertaining ones.

[selfequipped]

I bet Mr. Edgeworth is willing to answer your really obvious questions.

[entirely_empathetic]

I'm sure I'll find his opinions enlightening.

[glassinine]

All will be subject to the letter of the law, if I've any say.

[entirely_empathetic]

Do you have any say?

[yourpiecenow]

No, all that is legal here. Go for it.

[entirely_empathetic]

I appreciate your sarcasm.

[toolongdidntrejoice]

My, what a suspicious inquiry.

[entirely_empathetic]

Care to share your suspicions? I'm sure they're interesting.

[notdaredevil]

As if typical social mores and expectations just went out the window when you came here.

[entirely_empathetic]

No, but I'm sure they change some when the government starts pulling super powered humans in from other worlds. Surely there has to be a specific way of dealing with someone who, say, can start fires with a thought.

[fingerbang]

You could always pose the question to our gracious hosts.

[entirely_empathetic]

It's much more entertaining this way.

[ Scrambled ID, etc.!!

And monotone: ]

Whatever you are thinking about, stop. Right now.

[entirely_empathetic]

I'll be sure to keep your ever so helpful advice in mind should I decide to do something illegal.

[beenwaitinglong]

Gonna give it a wild guess and say all that stuff is probably illegal.

[He takes a sip of coffee.]

Maybe you should retain a lawyer, just in case.

[entirely_empathetic]

Are you offering your services? If so, you had better be good.

[incendere]

No matter what the circumstances of our being here may be, crimes such as that will have consequences.

[entirely_empathetic]

I am aware. It would be stupid to assume otherwise, no? I'm merely looking for clarification.

[earnedmystripes]

You're kidding, right.

[entirely_empathetic]

But of course.

[chiefdefense]

...you're honestly asking that?

[entirely_empathetic]

Not really since I asked more out of boredom than anything else. I've certainly received some interesting responses though.

[prearcadian]

You didn't strike me as the sort to ask permission in regard to something like this.

[entirely_empathetic]

Last I checked there wasn't a "please" or "may I" in my question.
