[Yu is all business as soon as the feed starts, his expression and tone very measured.]

It seems I'm not the only one who was contacted for "sentencing," so I'd like to pool our information. I was contacted by someone named "Jerry" and told to go to City Hall. How many others received a similar order? I know it wasn't everyone, but maybe we can get an accurate count. Were you asked to meet with the same person, or someone different?

If anyone else feels comfortable sharing what their "sentence" was, that could also be useful. Mine was to investigate people I'm close to for evidence of crimes. 

[His tone is carefully neutral, but he doesn't seem thrilled about that. Loyalty... he still doesn't see any way to consider it a crime. Now he's being asked to atone for something like that?

... Anyway. What else does he need to add? He thinks about it for a moment, frowning softly, and then adds:]

Last thing. Does anyone who was summoned remember what happened inside the building?

In the sense that something happens to people who try to resist you, or...

[nullificates]

More like no one can!!!

[izanagis]

Well, no one could accuse you of being self-conscious, I guess.

[nullificates]

I'm too cute for that!

Anyway. Ah, I usually wouldn't disclose, but I promised to play nicer, too! So, I was charged for womanizing -- wildly incorrect for several months, and drug use, because I guess...!

.... Jerry is a Narc! Didn't like I had too much fun at the Casino, and other places. A pity. He should definitely partake, he really needs it!

[Yu hasn't really talked to Dazai much, but somehow not a single bit of this is surprising. Still, he's learned a lot. He hasn't spoken to anyone yet who has been sentenced for two crimes.]

Did the sentence relate to both of those, or just one?

[nullificates]

Nope. Both!

[izanagis]

[... Huh. That's interesting.]

Do you still have one crime listed on your parchment, or two?

[nullificates]

Oooonly womanizing!

[izanagis]

That's pretty strange. I guess when they make their own rules, they can apply them however they want.
