"There are signs up and fences. Says 'must morph at this checkpoint to continue'."

"Those of them who've already got morph, can they go past that?"

"If they morph, yeah."

"And then stay in morph till they're in bounds again? - if you aren't clear it sounds like they have to do whatever the strictest version of what you're saying is or die. You have to be clear both about how strict and the not dying."

"Yes, if they left the area they'd have to stay in morph until they're back in this area. If they demorph for some reason they are supposed to mark stuff they came into contact with while demorphed. Casentar hasn't had the death penalty for two hundred years, they'd get, like, a warning."

"How are you going to handle internal criminal issues -"

"...they're not going to be willing to report crimes to the police, are they."

"...not really."

"We'd kind of like them to report crimes to the police."

"Or..."

"Or how are we supposed to protect them?"

"...no, I mean, what is the nonreporting penalty -"

"...there's a criminal who can't get the services they need to stop hurting people and a victim who doesn't get restitution."

"So there isn't one?"

" - I guess."

"What happens if they do turn people in to you?"

"We'd investigate and the victims would get support and restitution and people who were found guilty of a crime might get probation or might go to jail."

"For how long?"

"...that depends a lot on the crime. You could give examples?"

"Uh - somebody beats up their girlfriend."

"If it was the first time probation and a restraining order so they can't go near her."

"...is that magical or does it just mean formally telling them -"

" - there's a magic option but usually they don't use that unless the victim wants it to feel safe or they're being uncooperative or something, usually they just formally tell you and then you go to jail if you break it."

"Somebody steals somebody's stuff."

"...depends a lot on why, but usually they'd have to give it back and pay a fine and maybe take a class."
