This has to be the single strangest junk e-mail I've ever gotten.

Of the matter of snow here. Both of us have grasped
The mortal architect had brought to life,
My keyhole blows a gale
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
And beyond, the same sound of bees
A rabbit carcass in its stiffened fur.
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;

It's almost poetic.

In related news, I'm finally done catching up with all of my e-mails and voice mails. I never thought it'd take so long to get through two months of backlog, but I guess you don't realize how much stuff you get until it all piles up. At least I don't have to worry about it anymore...

I guess we are less likely as a profession to make trouble than some others I could think of.

[attorneyatlol]

On a community with phantom thieves and murderous sociopaths? Yeah, I'd say so.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

"Murderous sociopath" isn't a profession.

[attorneyatlol]

Well, it sure seems to be for some people.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

We have enough of those at home without having to import any from other universes.

[attorneyatlol]

I hear you on that. It'd be nice if there were some way to control it here, though.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Or at least keep them on their worlds.

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah. If only there were some sort of 'do not world-hop' list...

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Well-intentioned people already know who not to world-hop. It wouldn't help anything.

[attorneyatlol]

What about people who don't know? You don't think it'd be useful for them? I mean, there's no way to put an end to inter-dimensional crimes, but the less resources available to criminals means a less likely chance they'll be able to commit those crimes.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

It'd make things a little easier for new people, I suppose, but I don't think it'll cut down on anything.

[attorneyatlol]

Hm. Maybe you're right...

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Laws are hard enough to enforce when you have a mechanism for doing it. If you're just relying on good will, it's doomed from the start.

[attorneyatlol]

...You don't have much faith in people, do you?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

I'm a detective.

[attorneyatlol]

And I'm a lawyer.

He will not be irrationally prejudiced against defense lawyers until Ep 10. >_>

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

What field?

Oh dear XD

[attorneyatlol]

Defense.

"Phoenix Wright" is not a Japanese name, okay?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Oh, does your country have an adversarial system?

And Phoenix Wright is not very up to date on his legal terms.

[attorneyatlol]

A what...?

Togusa will not be hiring him anytime soon.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Defense, representing the accused, and prosecution, representing the state, both present arguments to a neutral judge or jury.

sob he's a good lawyer okay ;;

[attorneyatlol]

Oh, right. That's how ours is. I never knew there was a term for it...

Uh-huh.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

It's the norm for systems based on English common law.

[attorneyatlol]

I'll admit I'm not too familiar with the history. The... adversarial system is all I've ever known, though I do know we used to have some kind of jurist system a long time ago. But that was before they changed everything.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

"They changed everything?" Are you Japanese?
