One so young does not deserve a bite so sharp.
By disrespecting the age and name of Justicar Masako, you disrespect my own. We are Elders. Our power is rooted in obedience. Obedience we shall have.
Terry Jessup, Whip of Madison County, Illinois, you will send me your fangs or present yourself to Her Excellency to attend Her private justice.
If a thing cannot be done right, it is better off not being done at all.
Only a Justicar may contest the will of another Justicar. Elevate a petition signed by a preponderance of the Directorate to my office and I shall champion the will of the Clan in private council with Her Excellency.
Use these rules to your advantage. Use this situation to your advantage. Prosper and grow strong.
Please correct me if I am wrong but isn't it more than a little difficult to be both justicar and prince? The princes night to night duties make it damned difficult to travel to the extent that justicars and archons both need to do in order to fulfill thier duties to our way of life. If there isn't a law about this there ought to be in my opinion. If there is Miss Masako is either justicar or prince. She shouldn't be allowed to hold both positions. (I'll not be telling that to her face,though if I can possibly avoid it) It is simply a matter of trying to do to many things at once, none of them are done to the highest standard we should hold our leaders to. If they are unable/unwilling to maintain those standards they have to be replaced with someone that can/wil.. Now I'll never be the one to say Madam Masako is incabable of any one job, however I will be more than willing to state my belief that the two she holds now are inconpatible to each other at best. Thats my humble opinion.
Terry Jessup, Whip of Madison County, IL
