[Hanged Hourai]

>Tie her hands like intended
>"you can free yourself from this?"

>She slips one of her hands out and puts it back in.
>"Yeah."

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>"That's fine then."
>Head back to the village with her tied up.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"That's fine then."
>Head back to the village with her tied up.

>You walk back to the village with Tear in your custody.
>As you enter, people look at you in a shock and awe.
>Villagers whisper and murmer amongst themselves.

[Hello Purvis]

>To town square, or wherever the poster said to go for reward getting.

[Hanged Hourai]

>To town square, or wherever the poster said to go for reward getting.

>You go over to the town square, and there is a crowd waiting for you.
>They applaud and cheer for you.
>From the crowd, and important looking man and a man who looks in charge of law enforcement step forward to greet you.
>"I would like to personally thank you for catching this terrible criminal," the important man says.

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"It was nothing, sir. So, there's a reward, isn't there?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>Nod.
>"It was nothing, sir. So, there's a reward, isn't there?"

>"Straight to business, like a true vendor," he laughs.
>"Indeed, if you'll just hand the thief over to my associate, we'll go and get the reward all settled out."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Sorry, just still kinda on edge."
>Hand the thief over to his associate.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Sorry, just still kinda on edge."
>Hand the thief over to his associate.

"Very understandable."
>The associate takes Tear and walks off with her.
>"Now if you would join me in my office, I'll get you your much-deserved reward."
>He gestures to the official-looking building.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Of course, lead the way."

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Of course, lead the way."

>He leads you inside the building.
>Inside, there is a large desk with a few carved chairs off to the side.
>He walks behind the desk and opens a drawer.
>In his hand is a large, bulging sack.
>"1100 gold coins, as promised."
>He holds it out to you.

[Hello Purvis]

>Try to keep the currency symbols out of our eyes.
>Accept reward.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Try to keep the currency symbols out of our eyes.
>Accept reward.

>The your eyes quickly become gold coins, but you blink them out before he notices.
> +1100 gold coins
>Sounds of laughter can be heard from outside.
>"Well that was quick."

[Hello Purvis]

>"What was quick?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"What was quick?"

>"Come outside and see for yourself."
>He walks over to the door and opens it.

[Kasu]

> Pray that Tear didn't just screw this whole operation up.
> Look outside.

[Hanged Hourai]

> Pray that Tear didn't just screw this whole operation up.
> Look outside.

>You see a giant steel cage on wheels being carted through the town square.
>Inside, you see Tear hunched in a corner.
>People throw tomatoes at Tear while laughing.
>Vendor used Prayer!....The move failed...

[Hello Purvis]

>Well shit.
>Quick, stay cool!
>"...What a waste of tomatoes. What's next on the docket for her?"

[Kasu]

> Oh man.  We're never gonna here the end of this are we?
> Deep breath to help us stay calm.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Well shit.
>Quick, stay cool!
>"...What a waste of tomatoes. What's next on the docket for her?"

> Oh man.  We're never gonna here the end of this are we?
> Deep breath to help us stay calm.

>"Well, he'll go to trial then execution for grand theft of course."
>"But you don't need to worry about politics, your part is over afterall."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Grand theft?! What did this guy take? He gets a day or two to get a defense set up, right?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Grand theft?! What did this guy take? He gets a day or two to get a defense set up, right?"

>"He took many objects from the village. Not to mention striking fear into the hearts of the villagers."
>"Defence? That's for people who have a chance at innocence. Not to mention that no one will defend this thief."
>"There are dozens of eyewitnesses that saw the crimes occur. He'll be gone before sunset tonight at the latest."
>"I don't know why you're acting like this, you have your reward."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Well, you see...I was under the impression I was bringing in a thief to be tossed in the stocks or something. Not, you know, publically humiliated then killed. For taking things that are replaceable and stuff...

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Well, you see...I was under the impression I was bringing in a thief to be tossed in the stocks or something. Not, you know, publically humiliated then killed. For taking things that are replaceable and stuff...

>"This is just the way things work here in the village."
>"In fact, I don't want you to be here much longer seeing as how you aren't a citizen. This sort of thing is gruesome and I don't want to damage your mind."
>"With all due respect, I ask you to leave the village for the rest of day."

[Hello Purvis]

>Mental profanity! Now wonder youkai eat these people!
>"No, I think I'm kinda obligated to defend her, now, if you're just gonna murder her, since I kinda played a role in it."

[Hanged Hourai]

>Mental profanity! Now wonder youkai eat these people!
>"No, I think I'm kinda obligated to defend her, now, if you're just gonna murder her, since I kinda played a role in it."

>"I'm sorry, I can't allow that."
>"Once again, I request that you leave. Or would you like an escort to see you off?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"And why exactly can't you allow it? Are you insinuating that I am unable to comprehend how a basic trial works?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"And why exactly can't you allow it? Are you insinuating that I am unable to comprehend how a basic trial works?"

>"I'm saying that you are not a part of this village, regardless of your capture."
>"Now would you like to leave, or would you like somebody to throw you out?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, that's easy to fix. Make me a proper citizen. Besides, if you have justice on your side, what do you have to fear from a trial?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Oh, that's easy to fix. Make me a proper citizen. Besides, if you have justice on your side, what do you have to fear from a trial?"

>"This is the last time I'm going to ask. Please leave the village now."
