fandomhigh | Criminal Justice [first period, Tuesday 10/10]

V had laid out materials for his class once again, and this week they included all sorts of pens, pencils, crayons, markers, and all manner of paper.

"Sometimes," he intoned as he began to pace, "justice cannot be exacted immediately, and instead a plan must be formulated. These plans take time and care. You must know who, if anyone, will be your allies. What materials and resources will you use? Who will you target, when and why? Your assignment today is to choose someone, real or imaginary, who has somehow wronged you or others, and formulate a plan to strike back including these variables."

V gestured expansively to the craft materials. "I understand your parents are coming to visit in a short period of time. If you'd like to be artistic and create...charts, or visual representations of your plans, I shall be displaying them for your loved ones when they come."

He nodded sharply. "Work together or separately. I shall be available for questions."

[Be as creative as you would like with this. I'll tell you right now that that artpad thing is ADDICTIVE. It's pretty self-explanatory, and I believe there's a "save and send" function on the left toolbar. Then when that window pops up, there's a function for just getting the link. If you'd like to link to whatever you draw, I'd be happy to save the links and really display them for PW.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Bel pondered this. "I'd love him to know that I did it, but not be able to prove it," he said. "Think you can make that work?"

River thought for a moment. "There's a lack of information. He's a smart ass. We want to humiliate him and beat him up. He might feel humiliated by his smart assness being questioned in public. But I need to know more here. The physical violence part is a lot easier."

"Well, there's always that," Bel said. "Could just beat him up. Again."

"Too easy," River decided. "What does Logan really care about?"

"Himself," Bel said.

River thought for a moment. "So where does he live? What does he do?"

"LA," Bel said. "And I don't know what the hell he does these days."

"We need to find out," River said, making more notes. "So he cares about himself. Does that include caring about his appearance?"

"Yeah, I guess," Bel said. "This is getting way too complicated. I'll just draw setting him on fire and that's that."

River frowned. "No, we're making a diagram. And I need something to do." She added more notes. "I disable his fire alarm. You set his flat on fire. He is burnt and horribly maimed. That will be humiliating and painful." She looked at Bel. "Can you control the fire? And does he know you can set things on fire?"

"Oh yeah, he knows," Bel said. "I can control it when I summon it, not so much when it's out of my hands."

"If it gets risky I go in and save him," River said, making notes of that. "Or you could, of course. That would make it harder for him to get other to believe you were involved. Unless you never ever visit him, which is likely. So it's me, then. And I move into the flat next to him. So I have a reason to be there." She scribbled while talking.

"We should send intimidating threats before this, but in a form that he can't prove to others that they exist."

"We can't burn down Angel's hotel, though," Bel said, frowning. "That's where he's living."

"Why not?" River asked. "No one would ever believe you did that, so no one would accuse you."

Bel regarded her suspiciously. "You'd know, for one thing," he said.

"Yes, but I'm in on the plan. I'd be guilty too."

"You could sell me out," Bel said. "There's a reason I usually work alone."

"Yes, but you could sell me out too. Sometimes you just have to take the risk." It did remind her of that time when she and Simon had actually been sold out by Jayne.

"We could create some catch so that we both would lose too much from selling each other out."

"I'm not a big fan of complex plans," Bel said. "I like it nice and simple."

Rier sighed. "Then just burn the hotel down."

"I don't want to do that," Bel said.

River put the pen down. "Then we just attack him in a dark alley, beat him up and burn him. But it's not a very elegant plan."

Bel grinned. "No one's ever called me elegant."

River rolled her eyes. "I can see why."

Bel shrugged. "I just get the job done."
