Quelle folie ce que c'est? Words, not my own, appearing on the page before me. The ramblings of a madman, my fellow inspecteurs would say, yet my eyes do not deceive me. A door, between two worlds, and a key to allow passage-- it defies all logic, all explanation, mais il est vrai.

[A pause, the pooling of ink.]

I find it unacceptable that my time is limited by a man who cares little for the law, though he claims to serve it.

[I have high school French, the rest is Google Translate. XD]

Yes, good sir, one must indeed. Perhaps, as the girl above suggested, we are meant to guide them. As a man of the law my duty is to uphold and enforce it, and I cannot turn away from what I am bound to do regardless of the circumstances. If your general intends to seize control through unlawful means, then I am afraid that you must prevent him from doing so.

I do indeed. I reside in Paris, though I am fluent in English as well.

[High school French is still better than mine. I've got Spanish and decent Mandarin? LOL :D]

You reside in Paris? How exciting! I've visited there once before; it is quite a fantastic city. I'm from England myself, so I hope that my French is not so terrible for you. I'm not certain what his plans are; he doesn't like to share too much with everyone, I'm afraid, not even his own soldiers.

	I do. I am Inspecteur Javert, Monsieur Roy. An unofficial introduction, I am afraid, but the best that can be done under the circumstances. [...] Yes, I suppose, though it could do with improvement. Unrest lurks beneath the surface, but in the end the law will prevail. I find no fault in your French. What is the current ruler of his country like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is a pleasure to meet you, Inspecteur, though I´m Leonard Drury. Roy is the one who I refer to, the General inside my head. Yes, it is quite an unofficial introduction, though I don´t imagine that we can do better. I´m on the Vegas side of things, unfortunately for us. Thank you, for the reassurance and the compliment of my French. It is always good to hear it from a native speaker of the language.

The current ruler is a strange man, very strange. He likes to plot almost as much as Roy does, I´m afraid. Roy could have taken charge at the end of their war, but he handed the reigns over to a more experienced General, knowing that the General favoured him, and hoping that when the General did eventually retire, the reigns would be handed nicely back to Roy.
