001 - Allons enfants de la Patrie

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

[Javert appears on the Plane, wearing his typical hat and frock coat, looking reasonably perplexed.]

Have I... fallen asleep while on patrol?

[The thought of doing such a thing immediately brings about shame.]

NO! This is unacceptable. I must awaken at once and resume my duties.

[He closes his eyes for a few seconds, concentrating calmly. If he were focused on returning to his reality, he might have just done it, but all he was focusing on was waking up, and he is not asleep. He reopens his eyes, expressing great frustration at the fact that he remains.]

Damn! Why can I not wake up?!

[He nearly loses himself and throws his hat on the ground, but stops himself and ponders.]

I must have been accosted. I must have been knocked over the head by some criminal and I must be unconscious. Trapped within my own mind.

[He places his hat back on his head and a focused calm overcomes his demeanor as he brandishes his cudgel]

I must have let my guard down for a moment, but I will find the one responsible and he shall be brought to justice for this... inconvenience.

[That amuses the Mafia Boss] I didn't think I was being that disrespectful.

For the remainder of this dream, if you are to address me, you shall address me as Inspector Javert or Monsieur Inspector. I will not abide by a common citizen speaking so rudely to his superiors.

[Just shoving his hands in his pockets, looking amused.] Like I said before, this isn't a dream. Besides which, I still don't have any reason to be polite if you're going act like you're better than me.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

I don't have to act. And you will know your place or I will teach it to you.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Shoves his hands in his pockets, trying not to laugh] You're certainly acting like you have something to prove. While I still don't have a reason to respect you. I know my place already, and it doesn't have anything to do with you.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

If you do not respect me, then you do not respect the law. And those who do not respect the law are to be punished.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[It is taking much of his self control not to just laugh out loud right now.] I don't think you have the authority to punish me.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

Do not presume to know my duty better than I.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I'm not. But last I checked I was living in Rome in the year 2009. Even if you are in Rome I don't think you would be in the same time period as me, thus I am out of your jurisdiction.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

You are in my dream. My mind is in my jurisdiction, therefore, so are you.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

This isn't your dream, it isn't even a dream at all. So therefore, no jurisdiction.

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

You must think me mad if you assume I'd believe the word of someone like you over the voice of reason.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

What voice of reason would that be?

[bringme24601.livejournal.com]

That this is just a dream. Or a nightmare.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Okay, believe that if you want. Just so you know, you can 'wake up' just by thinking about returning home.
