Something interesting?

Well, I'm friends with a vigilante who's possessed by the devil. I feel like that's about as interesting as it gets.

[prosecutorial]

[And since Laurel is currently pre-vigilantes being a thing ... ]

... Okay. You officially win the interesting fact challenge. I can't decide if that's terrifying or amazing. Maybe a little of both.

[hacker]

I'm just surprised you didn't jump straight to "insane" like I did. So apparently you've seen your share of weird too.

[prosecutorial]

Not really where I'm from, unless you count a disproportional amount of government corruption as "weird," but I also did agree to go to a water planet to live in a city fueled by magic provided by people holding hands, among other things.

I guess you have to assume that if this is a world that exists, other places have similar things that exist? Otherwise they'd never get any volunteers?

[hacker]

Fair enough. Still, props for being well-adjusted.

[prosecutorial]

[She would not call herself that. There's a bundle of issues under the surface, but believing in the impossible isn't really one of them.]

So are you a vigilante too? Or are you the tough as nails civilian partner?

Match - un:seabear

[rayburn]

Most beautiful place in the united states, visually. Gets pretty ugly below the surface level, but it still keeps drawing you back.

Your turn.

[prosecutorial]

[Interesting fact about Laurel's world? Well.]

Have you heard of a guy named Harrison Wells?

[rayburn]

Can't say I have, but I'd be willing to sit for a story, if there is one. Here, or over a drink at the bar, maybe.

[prosecutorial]

There's not much of one. He's just this scientist who they say is going to change the world. It's years away, but he's working on something called a "particle accelerator."

[sackler]

new yorkers bite ten times more people per year than sharks
probably makes working in law interesting there

[prosecutorial]

[And that makes her laugh.]

Probably, yeah. It'd be rough to figure out what to do with a serial biter.

[sackler]

I'd say, a month there and you'd not even be surprised if a file involving that came across your desk.

What about where you're from? Anything special about it?

[prosecutorial]

Not unless you consider an abundance of crime and corruption special. I'm from Starling City in Oregon.

[sackler]

I think that's normal city living. Where's that, anyway? Near Portland?

match; un: ALF

[liberatings]

What if I want to ask about you instead?

Why law?

[prosecutorial]

[She can deal with talking about herself, at least in general terms.]

Because there are a lot of things about our legal system that need major reform, but for right now, it's still the most efficient way to hold someone accountable for their actions. Someone has to speak for the victims, living or dead.

The downside is that a lot of those victims can't afford adequate representation, so I want to try and change that. There's a legal aid group called CNRI that provides legal aid to the disenfranchised people of Starling City, so I'm hoping that once I get my degree I'll be able to go and work for them.

[There's a pause, before:]

And my dad also used to say that if I could find a job that would pay me to argue, I would be set for life. I don't think he quite planned on this.

[liberatings]

[ Two people who dislike talking about their personal lives but love what they do. A match made in heaven? ]

Your dad certainly put you on the right path. You're quite committed to the less fortunate. I admire that.

[prosecutorial]

[Very well could be! Laurel certainly loves the law, so she will talk about it for days.]

Thank you. I mean, when you're in a city with a few of the largest tech development companies in the country in it, but a large majority of the citizens are living in poverty in the Glades? Something's not right there.

[And she did inherit some of her dad's detective instincts.]

[liberatings]

Agreed, and also admirable. A woman dedicated to their cause is the fiercest adversary, by far.

What about law's greyer areas?

Match, un: unaffluent

[unaffluent]

I'm from a small town in rural Virginia, so there's not much interesting about it aside from I guess the magical forest my friends found not long ago. But it's kind of weird to explain.

Did your dad being a cop make you want to go into law?

[prosecutorial]

Try me. I'm starting to get used to there being a lot of weird around here.

And yeah, a little. He didn't want me to be a cop, but being a lawyer was a way I could still help.

[unaffluent]

Well, one of my best friends is searching for an ancient Welsh King because you can get wishes if you wake him up... and it led us to this forest. And then I kind of made an agreement with the forest and it could use my hands and eyes. And well... I guess you get the gist.

That's pretty cool.

[ Sounds like a good dad but Adam's not really well versed on that. ]

Are you enjoying school? I'm still trying to decide what exactly I want to do.

[prosecutorial]

... Well, that is definitely something. What did you get in return for being their hands and eyes?

[And not something Laurel's run into yet in her wall of weird.]

I do, actually. In fact, deciding to go into law is probably the best decision I've ever made.

[unaffluent]

My friends were okay.

That's great. I don't think I could go into law myself.
