[condoner]

Not at all.

[ you forget that she's a detective. she can tell what you're like just by looking at you. of course, her profiling skills still need some toning. it isn't perfect yet. ]

I deduced that you like clean and simple things just by looking at you.

[theincredibleherc]

Oh? Is that a fact.

[Once she's settled, he plunks down in a chair.]

I often find that I am mistaken for a messy individual. I may be a brawler and oaf, but you are correct in that I keep my life as simple as possible.

[condoner]

[ she takes a seat across him, her hands carefully placed on her lap. ]

I suppose people think that because of your appearance. Not to mention, the name Hercules would immediately make people think of a barbarian.

[theincredibleherc]

Lies spread by my damnable stepmother and idiotic brother Ares no doubt.

[Lets start serving shall we? He'll load up a plate of eggs, meats, and toast for her and do the same for himself ]

I take more after my eldest sibling, truth be told. Though I lack Athena's foresight. And am a good bit dumber. Hah.

[condoner]

[ she bows her head when food is served to her, saying "thank you" at the same time. ]

Family life must be complicated, [ she says with a smile. if he's smiling about all this, then she should too??? it doesn't seem like a heavy topic or anything. ]

[theincredibleherc]

Hah, you have no idea.

[He did love his family. Mostly. Hera not so much, and he could live with Ares maybe for a week once a century or so, but Athena and Hermes were good in his book.]

We all hold grudges, but in the end? We're still family. Only we have the right to badger one another.

[He'll begin to eat.]

Tell me about yours? I'm sure I don't need to rehash what the good lady Hamilton has chronicled and bore you further.

[ooc: Edith Hamilton, wrote heavily about Greek mythology ]]

[condoner]

Eh, me?

[ she blinks curiously. she's not used to talking about herself, especially when it comes to people whom she's not very close to, yet. ]

Well, I'm an only child. My father and mother are still alive, although I don't live with them anymore. I also have a grandmother in the hospital. [ she says all of this very quickly, but the mention of her grandmother makes her smile. she puts a hand to her heart as she continues. ] She's... one of my most special people in the world.

[theincredibleherc]

[Well all she has to do is ask to be closer. He's not exactly shy about anything, including intimacy.]

Ah to be an only child again. I remember when I believed it so. [When he was a mortal prince.]

What ails your grandmother, lovely one? Is it old age? Or some illness?

[condoner]

She has an illness, but it's alright. She's a very strong woman.

[ don't ask what the illness is. ~nobody knows~ ]

[theincredibleherc]

Well, she clearly has a tough family too.

[Digging in now!]

I know how hard being in law enforcement is. Though hopefully your world is one without the plague of supercriminals.

[condoner]

[ she eats, as well! and after swallowing, she'll respond- ]

Oh, no. We definitely don't have those kinds of criminals back home.

[theincredibleherc]

Fortunate. But even ordinary men can be trouble.

[He doesn't want to think about you chasing down weirdos like Bullseye or The Shocker...

You are far too cute for that. And a little moe.]

What drove you to join the Police?

[condoner]

It seemed that there's something that only I can do as part of the force.

[theincredibleherc]

Oh yeah? And what is that?

[Tell him your special skills!]

[condoner]

[ she looks down at her food as she answers; ]

To change the Sybil System, and protect the law, I suppose.

[theincredibleherc]

Sybil System? I'm afraid I don't follow that, lovely. Explain?

[Protecting the law he gets. It sounded a bit like Anthony and and Henry, but he could deal with that, since context...what is that?]

[condoner]

The Sibyl System is an enterprise that runs in cooperation with the government in order to manage law.

Our mental states and personal tendencies can be quantified, and these are policed. This is called one's Psycho-Pass.
When a person's crime coefficient goes up a certain value, they are deemed a Latent Criminal, and are arrested and isolated.

I worked for the Ministry of Welfare and Public Safety Bureau as an Inspector. What I do is very similar to the detective work of old, although we aren't permitted to use real guns. Instead, we use Dominators, which are linked to the Sibyl System. It measures one's Psycho-Pass and judges a person's aptitude then and there. For example, if I point my Dominator at someone whose crime coefficient is over 300, then they aren't deemed useful to society anymore. The Dominator turns into a Lethal Eliminator, and once shot, it will kill the target.

[ she can talk about her world some more, but it's a rather gruesome tale to talk about over breakfast. ]

[theincredibleherc]

...

[Hercules sets his hands down flat on the table. And just stares, suddenly thoughtful, and quite grim. That sounded horrible. The exact opposite of what he'd consider good and just. Aptitudes and executions was very SHIELD like, and not in a Fury way. More a Hill way...]

And where do you stand on this system? Do you agree with it?

[condoner]

[ she pokes at her food with her fork. ]

I don't. It has many flaws, and the truth behind it is... quite scary, to be honest. But without it, society would be in chaos. I can only condone it, and make it better through my work.

[theincredibleherc]

It's foolish. [There, he said it.] Every single person has the capacity to give back to society in some way. And I say this as someone who has taken lives. [Many.] Every life taken? Is the loss of potential betterment of your kind.

[condoner]

There's definitely some people I know who would agree with you.

[theincredibleherc]

What of you?

[condoner]

I will be the one to chsnge the Sybil System.

[theincredibleherc]

Good lass.

[The God of Heroism definitely gets a feeling that you might just be a hero, y'know.]

How's the food?

[condoner]

Oh, um, [ she jumps a bit in her seat, surprised by the question because it's such a change of pace. ] It's good, thank you for inviting me to have a meal with you.
