putting together puzzle pieces [late week 3]

[finalizes]

[Laughs speaks up on the network very abruptly and sharply.]

What does everyone here know about Yakumo's overlay Edward?

[After moment, he adds: I have nothing definite yet, but as I said earlier, Phillip saw someone who looked like me try to post a batch of letters that looked like the letters of complaint sent to newspapers from various different people.

Edward's merlin sometimes looks like a nightjar, and humans have no sense of scent to speak of.

A guy [and he's lifestreaming the scent that will be recognizable as that of Utsusemimaru to anyone who can scent people as he says that] told me that Edward can imitate other people's writing.

So. What do we know about him?

[He might be overly suspicious because Edward now didn't just insult his poor toad baby, his pet tried to eat Saffron. But that's besides the point clearly.]

Comments

What does he do in retaliation when he gets upset?

[whydoyoushine]

Mostly just starts wailing for a janitor and clutching his proverbial pearls.

[finalizes]

He doesn't do anything?

[whydoyoushine]

Eh, nothing really impressive. It's not like I'm worried about the threat of fisticuffs.

Really, I'm surprised he hasn't challenged me to some kind of gentlemen's duel. Pistols at ten paces, stuff like that.

[finalizes]

When he was angry at me he just went to a higher up and made them tell Tachibana's overlay to tell me off.

[The chance of fisticuffs is probably low here.]

[whydoyoushine]

Yeah, he's a lot of hot air. Likes rules and regulations a little too much.

[Considering that Zedward has been deliberately trying to push a few buttons, Zed is hopeful that things might get more exciting.]

[finalizes]

Though he then later also tried to get me in trouble for something illegal he did. [At least he thinks that it's illegal? The way the humans act about it?] Maybe because of that.

[whydoyoushine]

Wait, wait, wait, hold up, you're telling me Mr. Law and Order did something illegal?

[There's no hiding the cackling glee in Zed's voice. He has not registered the letter-related disguise as being possibly illegal; that is absolutely nothing by Emperor of Darkness standards.]

What did he do?

[finalizes]

Humans consider impersonating others illegal when it's not done on stage, so that he wrote the letters with other people's names on them is illegal.

[He's pretty sure of that, anyway. Edward sure acted like he shouldn't have been doing it.]

[whydoyoushine]

Man, I think we have different definitions of illegal.

Or at least illegal and worth getting worked up over.

[He'd been hoping for some embezzlement or unpaid parking fines at least.]

[finalizes]

[Hey, don't look at him, this is a human issue.]

It's because they think that signatures are the same as the people that wrote them.

[whydoyoushine]

Signatures can be used to do things. It's authorizing something in someone's name. So depending on what you're doing with those signatures, then I guess it could be a big deal.

[finalizes]

[He used very different words, but in essence and to him they meant the same.]

And that is why it is illegal. It's pretending to be someone else.

[whydoyoushine]

Well, I mean, sometimes, it doesn't matter.

Like if it's a joke, then it's not illegal.

[finalizes]

Maybe.

[He doubts it, but he isn't going to argue human laws.]
