@Wraithblade6@kishin asura@Masterkeun@supertinyking@thewizardguyIt was rare Frojund got to watch someone actively got to watch someone attempt suicide through legal trial, though it was amusing all the same. "If the defendant pleads guilty so adamantly then a trial isn't really needed to determine guilt. I'd like to motion we go straight to sentencing and get things over with" The large lizard-man states from his chair, motioning his own particular orb back over to the silent king once he was done gleaning what he could from it. Though the practically palpable air of dissatisfaction mithias leveled at him due to the apparent ease at which he slid into this new role as a council member didn't take an ounce of his, admittedly minuscule psionic capabilities by comparison to detect.
"If anything your admittance as to the lack of control you maintain over your ability's wandering suggests a harsher punishment for such actions should be taken. Normally invasions of privacy in such an intimate nature would be counted as rape, though the more paranormal nature of that actual act in question leaves much more of a grey area. However the fact that such invasions of privacy were carried out wanton-ly and without restraint suggests that you will simply do it again and again indefinitely should you be left to your own devices. I'm sure your demons would be quite familiar with fitting punishments to permanently and without fail prevent such further infractions from ever occurring again. Were this matter physical it would be a simple matter of castration followed by purposefully closing the wound so the organs in question could not re-grow, though in this particular instance the removal of a paranormal ability would require a specialist." B-00F so eloquently states with enough emotion to maintain interest yet enough of a lack there of so as to maintain that he was approaching things from a factual mind-set. Though his words created quite the dilemma between the two upper rulers, due to the fact that he was able to quite skillfully adjust his rhetoric so that Mithias' own words worked against him. While it was clear that there was a certain skill involved in political speaking, this creature seemed remarkably talented in the manipulation of others, his own limited psionic abilities not actually coming into play even slightly.
As for the verdicts, this quite clearly left everyone in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't situation" where, if Mithias was spared, it could very easily be construed that the merciful party was partaking in willful negligence of a known intelligence and privacy risk, meaning that it could be seen as them actively endangering the rest of the group and even themselves to save a single person. On the flip-side, executing this "mental castration" as Frojund put it was singled out quite clearly as the best and most merciful option in a sense due to it still leaving mithias alive, albeit much less potent due to a lack of invasive psionic abilities. While this could be seen as a method of showing that the volunteering party was the much more willing to think of the good of the whole, botching the procedure would likely leave the punished party in question comatose for a time at best and completely lobotomized at worst.
