My goodness.

[theroseinmisery]

Do you all think it's possible Monsieur l'Inspector wants to speak with Enjolras?

I do not think so.

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

I wonder why he hasn't called or stopped by, then.

[theroseinmisery]

He's been asking other to pass a message on for him, I believe.

He said something about voicemails, but after what you've said, I'm not inclined to believe him.

And apparently, he's broken into yours and Enjolras' apartment. The lock's been changed.

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

Ah, he was the burglar? I shall have to file a report then. I'm sure he'd enjoy explaining to his superiors why he was breaking and entering.

[theroseinmisery]

Oh yes, I'm quite certain he would!

[inspector_tsarvert]

I have tried calling! I left several voicemail messages! I tried stopping by but no one was home!

Can you or can you not pass along my message since you're his roommate! It should be very easy for you!

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

So you admit you broke into our apartment?

[inspector_tsarvert]

Even if I did break into your apartment, I was unaware that your place is booby-trapped. It is quite unlawful for you to do that to your own house. I could have broken my neck from a fall I took.

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

The floorboards are old and loose in places. We could have warned you of it if you had knocked first.

I shall be filing a report on this. Breaking and entering is even more unlawful.

[inspector_tsarvert]

You booby-trapped a floorboard and I went over a trip wire! I fell out of your window and could have died! That is plenty unlawful!

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

Perhaps if you hadn't broken into our apartment you would not have had that problem. I'm quite surprised at you, Inspector. I thought you were an upstanding officer of the law who disdained any breach of the law. Or perhaps you think that as guardian of the law, the laws do not apply to you the same as they apply to us?

[inspector_tsarvert]

All laws apply to me, Monsieur. But since I needed to speak with your roommate, I figured I could leave a note inside his place. Will you or will you not pass on my message to him?

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

Then you will agree that had you not broken the law, you would never have come to harm, yes?

[inspector_tsarvert]

Is saying that what it will take for you to pass on my message?

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

Oh, Inspector, I fully intend to file a report with your precinct whether you admit it or not. You will require a warrant to enter our apartment in the future. Else you may discover things you dislike worse than a broken floorboard. Also, I find your manners to be shockingly deplorable. I am quite unwilling to do anything at all for you after the way you continue to behave towards my friends.

[inspector_tsarvert]

Go ahead and try, Monsieur. You will find that they will be on my side regarding this entire debacle.

Never you mind about delivering my message. Your friend has posted and I shall merely respond to him about my message as it seems I'm no longer banned from his journal.

[decipheredhieroglyphics]

We shall see whether they're on your side about unlawful entry. Not that you'll be able to do that again, of course.

Perhaps you should speak with Courfeyrac in case you have any further inquiries to make of any of us. I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige.

[inspector_tsarvert]

Yes, we shall see!

I have no desire to speak to your friend, Courfeyrac. I already asked him if he'd deliver my message.

I have since left my message on Monsieur Enjolras' journal and-wait...

Actually there's nothing in the contract about modifying the floor. In fact, the only thing that's against the contract is putting large holes in walls. Larger than a nail, that is.

So maybe you should read the contract before threating him with the law.

[inspector_tsarvert]

It is unlawful to booby-trap a house with intent to cause injury or to kill the intruder. This is a law that goes for all households and apartments.

[hiscynic]

But you weren't injured or killed so you can't say that there was intent. That's a leap of logic and wouldn't hold up in any court. Except maybe a kangaroo one.

[inspector_tsarvert]

I fell out a window! That could easily be an intent to injure!

[hiscynic]

It was your own fault you fell out the window. And you shouldn't have been in there in the first place.

[diabolicbeauty]

He needs to come and speak with me.

Although "speaking" is far down the list of things I want to do with my dear Red Square.
