025 ~ Legal Advice [Dictated]

[demontobeloved]

So, after that whole family thing, I realised something.

[There's a pause here.]

Does anyone still consider themselves legally married, or related to people? If so, I've got a few documents here that can fix it. Just standard divorce and disowning documents, you can read them if you want.

...Did I mention I was an attorney? Probably should have. Sounds like I want people to sign over their souls.

[Well. That sounds... omnious.]

By the way, I'm going to need a new drinking partner. My last one kinda left.

Um... maybe I should ask, in that case...

An engagement isn't the same as really being married, right...?

dictated;

[demontobeloved]

Depends on what time, or where, you're from, but in regards to the law I know? An engagement can be broken off whenever, no forms

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

Well, it happened here, sort of... So I guess it's as simple as that.

dictated;

[demontobeloved]

Depends on who you're engaged to. Some people can get a little... defensive about their customs.

It's why I asked, mostly. Some people might not feel it's over until they have the divorce certificate, or proof they're no longer related to these people.

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

Oh, no, he really... really... really didn't want to be engaged after all. I just wanted to make sure on this end so I don't trouble him any more...

dictated;

[demontobeloved]

Well, you should be fine. There's no modern legal law that prevents an engagement being broken off by the parties concerned.

dictated;

[3_butterflies]

That's good... Thank you, sir...

Please, just call me Cole. Cole Turner.

And any time you need legal adivce, just give me a call.

Those documents won't mean anything. Divorce's illegal here.

dictated

[ardor]

What he said.

dictated

[demontobeloved]

Huh. I assume this is written down somewhere?

dictated

[ontheclockpro]

Ask the townspeople. They'll tell you that.

dictated

[demontobeloved]

Now, see, there are many legal variables that throw our eligibility to such a law into question. The primary one being; who enforces it in the castle? As far as I know, the City Royale Law Enforcement doesn't bother too much with us.

dictated

[ontheclockpro]

[he snorts]

There's no one who enforces any laws in the castle. No one can keep it organized for very long.

I don't care what you do, just letting you know those divorce papers aren't gonna mean a whole lot.

dictated

[demontobeloved]

As far as I'm concerned, the marriages in the last world change aren't legal anyway, so, yeah. The papers are useless, you caught me.

Some people just feel better with a slip of paper, you know? If we have anyone like that here, it'll be for their peice of mind, really.

And, yeah, I saw the attempts at law enforcement. I suppose this is another way of making those 30-odd bar exams worth it for me.

[sixguns]

Hard t'change yer nature, innit?

[Demons wanting people to sign 'legal' documents isn't any way to gain credibility, Cole.]

[demontobeloved]

If you're insinuating that all lawyers are evil by nature, Mr. MacManus, that is slander.

[He's totally joking. Can you take the joke, Noah?]

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Did someone say drinking...?

[Dictated]

[demontobeloved]

Why? You interested?

Re: [Dictated]

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Always. What do you have in mind?

[Dictated]

[demontobeloved]

Well, I wasn't planning anything, but I'm always up for meeting new people.

Caritas?

Re: [Dictated]

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Sounds good to me. Twenty?

Dictated -> Action

[demontobeloved]

I'll be there. I'm Cole, by the way.

[And, sure enough, twenty minutes later, Cole Turner is shimmering into view just outside Caritas. The bar has protection spells, and, since shimmering is a demonic power, he'd rather not risk triggering anything.]

[sawyourwolfjunk]

Kenzi.

[She's waiting just outside it, but her jaw drops when she sees someone just... appear.]

Whoa. How'd you do that?

[demontobeloved]

Hm?

[Oh, crap, it happened again, didn't it? Why did he always shimmer in front of the newbies?]

Oh. Uh. Magic.
