[Lance looks a little over life at the moment, which most of his friends probably recognize as his standard look when not being purposefully professional. He's not bothering with the latter right now, both because he's a bit annoyed and because he thinks it would be pointless, so instead everyone gets normal, slightly bitchy Lance.]

Okay, I wish I could say that I can't believe I have to remind people of this, but vigilante justice is not exactly the best idea here. Not only is it morally wrong to just declare yourself to have the authority to decide who is and isn't deserving of 'justice', but it's logically wrong too; you're just going to cause problems, not solve them.

I'm not saying not to intervene when something's actively happening, but going after someone days or weeks later is just starting the whole process of retaliation all over again. So can everyone just take their egos down a notch and, if they're concerned about someone being an active threat or something, work on coming up with some sort of solution that isn't going to make things worse as soon as it's done?

[This is not the first time he's had to go into this discussion while here--or at home--and so that's why he's being extra short about it. He's also not just talking about the recent incident, it's simply what prompted him to say something this time.]

( Not for nothing, but she's pretty sure no one's about to start blanking murder, especially those of their friends. )

Social options like...?

[He's thinking a little more drastic and manipulative than that, but it's probably for the best that he doesn't explain that.]

Refusing to help her with projects, ignoring her posts to the network, not serving her alcohol, etc. There are a lot of ways to just make it not worth it to her to cause problems, especially if she's acting out of boredom.

( Kate wrinkles her nose as she reads that. Is it truly a good answer to the problem? )

Could make it escalate.

( If she isn't given anything to do, what's to stop her from doing worse to get attention, or simply because she's bored? )

Is it more or less likely than antagonizing her through violence?

[He's pretty sure it's far less; it's pretty much a done deal that there's going to be retaliation for this, after all.]

Never said it was worse than that.

( Hadriel's unique circumstances make it difficult, at best, to exact any sort of effective punishments, though. )

Then I'd rather try something new, even if it's a long shot, than keep doing something we know doesn't work.

Can't be worse than what we've got now.

( AKA nothing. But it's going to be an uphill struggle whatever the decision. )
