Listen.

[The voice that comes over the public channel is... odd, and new to most folks here. He pauses for a bit, as if that's the entire thought-- but, sure enough, he follows it with an obviously annoyed question.]

So we're just kind of... here, because they say so? Like... this can't be legal, can it? Has anybody tried talking to the fuckin' police about this?

[As he speaks, he gets increasingly irritated, his voice breaking.]

I'm gonna be real with you guys: I've got half a mind to just kinda magic my way out, except I'm pretty sure the Ringleader or whatever would come after me. Is that a thing?

Okay, but what she's doing here is still super illegal under, like, real laws. I mean, I'm not exactly a paragon of lawfulness, here, but at least I'm not making people sign a year of their lives over to my service or anything, you know?

... I mean, I probably could get something going if I wanted to, but it seems like a whole lot of trouble.

[handwringing]

I guess the argument is under which "real laws"? The ones here, or the ones in your realm?

[Things get a little tricky when you start thinking extra-dimensionally.]

I argued a lot when I first got here, too, but you can learn to like it.

The ones police arrest you for breaking. Prime material plane, my dude, back on terra firma. The laws I'm used to, alright, so pardon me for being a little bit caught up in them.

What if I don't wanna like it? [taako you're being a brat]
