Death in High Places (4/??)
Sep. 7th, 2005 02:24 pmNomos glared at me. He didn't seem to have any other expressions for me. Then he turned his glare on the rest of the crowd. "Nothing to see here! Begone!"
When the crowd showed no sign of moving, he raised an arm and signaled. Servants of Law descended from on high. Their spindly copper torsos glittered with the implicit threat of Law. The crowd decided there wasn't anything here they were interested in after all.
The Servants settled into a perimeter. "What do you know of her Succession?" Nomos said, "Justice was my ally."
"Did you ever talk to her?"
(I have to keep reminding myself, even though I'm writing in first person, this is neither Fors nor me talking. I'm not quite sure WHO it is just yet, aside from a private eye.)
