I would say that it's illegal to charge and hold citizens with no form of warrant, but I doubt that's a matter our captors care about much.

[Eiji gives a small, charming grin as he speaks. It's a light joke, of course. Really, all of this is a joke. Eiji will admit that, of the abductions he has been subjected to so far, this is perhaps the most immediately pleasant. Mobius was perhaps more modern and had more to it, but Mobius also decided it would be wise to try and wipe his mind and all he was away. Eiji can accept, and even find charming, the more 'rustic' scenery of this place if the trade off is that he gets to keep his mind.

Don't even get him started on Hell. That little detour can be pushed aside for now. Back there, he would have kept all communication that he could to text. The less he let the lot there see him, or that he had to see them, the better. This place looks like it might be cut of a different cloth, at least.]

Please, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Biwasaka Eiji. It is a pleasure to meet you all.

[He gives a small bow as he introduces himself. He is a gentleman. He will do what he can to present and be a gentleman whenever possible.]

Back home, I'm a lawyer. I specialize in defense. If any of you are interested in one when 'sentencing' begins, please. I'd be happy to help you with your case.

[He gives a playful wink as he speaks.]

Still though...even if it's meant to hold us, and we've been accused of crimes, I don't think this place is meant to punish us. I wonder. What do you think?

it would be very useful to see your perspective on the whole criminal system in this place. perhaps you'll have insight for non-experts like me.

As more of it unfolds and I get a better understanding, I’d be happy too. So far, it would seem all of us are stuck in ‘processing’, so to speak.

[fatalism]

i feel it surprising we are not being watched more closely. no ankle monitors? no tracking devices?

[nonbinding]

Who's to say we aren't being watched closely? As far as we know, these charms are their way of not just letting us communicate, but monitoring us.

[fatalism]

perhaps, though they do not give that impression so far. we'll find out eventually i'm sure

[nonbinding]

When the other shoe drops, which I expect will be soon. I doubt our 'benefactors' will leave us so entirely in the dark for too much longer.

[fatalism]

perhaps the drop won't be too painful.

Looking on the bright side of things?

I have to admit I respect your optimism.

[fatalism]

[ well no one has ever accused him of optimism before, that's delightful ]

well, one of us must for the sake of morale

How noble of you to heed the call.
