[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.

[theincredibleherc]

Did I not say I'd treat you to a meal when first we met, Akane?

[His smile is genial, even amused.]

It's no dinner date, but this is something at least.

[condoner]

Yes, you did.

I didn't forget.

[theincredibleherc]

Though that offer is still on the table, I suppose.

If you are interested in it, anyway. Now that we're back.

[condoner]

I suppose when I'm less busy.

I intend to go hunting for a new apartment today.

[theincredibleherc]

Of course.

Let me know. And the Son of Zeus will wine and dine you like no other.

[condoner]

I do like fine wine.

[theincredibleherc]

Hah, and you shall not regret it.

[He flexes the guns.]

Few have ever walked away from a date with the Incredible Hercules without at least a smile.

[Wink.]
