[Justice 1]

[Eiji looks a little confused, maybe a little distressed, as he posts this video.]

Has anyone else had problems with the sentry? At least, as far as "suitable clothing"?

I just got a ticket for two cobalt rhinn. My clothes aren't that bad, are they?

[He pans out and...well, he's wearing this. Your mileage may vary.]

Cobalt?

[That much?]

[powertotearer]

[Eiji nods.]

Apparently, it's an old law that nobody really enforces...until today.

[As a purple pants man, Chase really has no room to judge on fashion either way. Still, the fine puzzles him. As far as he understands, usually fines are intended as a deterrent.]

...It is not hurting anyone.

[powertotearer]

Exactly!

[driverslicense]

[Clearly, that Sentry officer was corrupt.]

Do you remember who it was?

[powertotearer]

I'm not sure. It was one of the kedan, and since they can shapeshift, it's really hard to know...

[driverslicense]

[Shapeshifting enemies aren't anything new to Chase; Advanced Roidmude all have human forms.]

I will investigate.

[Because this warrants investigation, yes.]

[powertotearer]

Um, okay.

You really don't have to go out of your way like that, though.

[driverslicense]

Cobalt is not important to you?

[A while back, someone was really grateful to Chase for returning a string of rhinn. That, and he's buddies (sort of) with a Sentry officer, so it wouldn't be hard to ask her a few questions and see where that leads him.]

[powertotearer]

Well, I mean, not...well, I don't worry about money much, but that's not really what I...

[He's really terrible at trying not to sound like he doesn't have any desires, isn't he?]

I just don't want you or anyone else getting into trouble just because of something as dumb as this.

[driverslicense]

I will not get in trouble.

[Said with the certainty of someone who isn't entirely aware of the trouble he could be getting into. He knows that corrupt cops exist, but...it's not like he'd be confronting the entire institution of the Sentry or anything. This is garden-variety humans being a little petty. He knows how to deal with that.]

You are already being caused trouble... [Even if Eiji doesn't worry about money, he got it legally by selling his creations.]

[powertotearer]

I guess.

Just...be careful, okay?
