truefaceofthelaw: (Is there a problem?)

Oh, no. You got it wrong, juve. [A pause.] Inertia. There's a difference between disgraced judges and the ones who betray the law. For the former, this is voluntary. Which makes it all the more - [insane.] - admirable. The latter's sentenced to twenty years of hard labor in a Cursed Earth work farm, or Titan. [Something he has no intention of ever happening to him. He'd rather die first.]

[But huh. He wonders. Maybe they do meet each other out there. A banding together of the disgraced and the soon to die. It's a form of freedom in a way, but Rico doesn't like the idea of toughing it out there in the wilderness when he could have his jacuzzi in his penthouse.]

His real name is Eustace Fargo. The Father of Justice is just an honorific, since he was the founder of the judicial system we operate under now. He was the one responsible for implementing the reforms. The police and the courts were corrupt and ineffective, and couldn't keep up with the rising crime rates. He raised a nation of lawlessness into what it is today.

So, all this? [He gestures a hand over himself with a smirk.] All him. All his doing, too.
