I wanted to make a few notes about laws in Serasam since it is the location of our main HQ.

Serasam has capital punishment for murder, arson that results in death, particularly heinous violent crimes, and some sex crimes. Whether or not a death sentence is given if it applies is up to the victim or their surviving family. The is currently a push to follow Mirandia's example and abolish capital punishment, but it is still largely supported.

Serasam has an old law allows for duels of honor, the results of which are not considered murder. However, both parties must agree to the terms with clear minds and without being under duress.

Tobacco is legal in Serasam, as is alcohol. However, public intoxication laws are a matter to local cities and towns and illegal in most (but will usually result in no more then a night in lock up and a slap on the wrist). Naturally, these laws are suspended during the celebrations of Rume'lurm's Day.

The only illegal drug that is a problem right now is Opium. It is legal in Stormrend, and illegal opium dens have popped up all over in Mirandia, a problem that has started to spill into Serasam.

Finally, prostitution is legal in Serasam, but only in legally sanctioned brothels (for the sake of keeping it regulated and clean). Naturally, illegal street prostitution is still around, but it is hard to compete with clean, STD , and legal brothels. Naturally, it is perfectly legal for someone in the Havenbrook Organization to hire an escort, but only employees, potential employees, clients, and royalty (and gods posing as one of these) are allowed on the grounds, so even if you are somehow able to convince an escort to come all the way to the manor, you'll have to sneak them in.

Hooray for legal things to worry about

You have nothing to worry about If you don't break the law...

Guess who recently posted his first draft of his film festival submission?

Timing of the VO and such was perfectly precise, you did a good job of sticking to script; good work there. Something to work on would be inflection and emphasis. I saw shades of those things - particularly in the part about the Lords of Cinder - but you could stand to project a bit more, be more dramatic in tone.

Yeah, both things were in my head to do again. This was a first draft to show how it would at least work.

Just a quick reminder of the mission today. I get off at 4, so I'm hoping to start around 5, 5:30. I'll let you guys know if I get off work early.
