[ it's been a rough month for jessica — thanks to her arrival and reliving her traumatic memories with the devil himself. in between all of her alcohol consumption, she's had time to think because sadly, even hard liquor can't always numb the pain.

it's almost midnight, and she finds herself posting on the network. there's no username attached; she prefers anonymity for this topic. well, here goes nothing. ]

if someone's dead back home, is there any chance they can show up here?

and what if they're the goddamn devil? will the cops do something about it?

serious answers only. not in the mood for bullshit.

You've heard from the others. They're not wrong about the dead or the devils.

Imports who commit terrible acts even after they've arrived, even in clear view of the public, are barely punished. At most, they're locked away for a few weeks and then are possibly assigned another import to watch over them for a time.

well shit. guess i should lead a life of crime then.

[annihiliner]

It wouldn't be hard.

[hardedged]

pass. too much effort.

[annihiliner]

Either way, it's something to remember. There are dangerous people here, and there's very little in the way of organized defense against them.

[hardedged]

wonder if it's better that way. some assholes can't be locked up.

[annihiliner]

What other options are there?

[hardedged]

nothing good

[annihiliner]

And potentially not possible here anyway.

Execution, for instance. From what I've heard, that one doesn't stick when it comes to imports.

[hardedged]

won't know until we try

[ she's mostly bluffing. she didn't want to do it the first time around, in her own world. it's a last resort. ]
