Good evening everyone.

My name is Goro Akechi. Some of you might already know me, seeing this marks as the seventh month for me here in Aldrip. I have been collecting and documenting information about this world, all while pursuing the truth behind our presence here. But first things first:

[TLDR: The Council, Sentencing, Legal Advise!]

I believe most of us were surprised by the sudden emergence of governmental power called 'The Council' and their lackey 'Jerry.' However, I do believe their arrival, along with this 'Sentencing' program matches the mood of the town ever since leaving the maze. We, the so-called Chosen, have been treated with suspicion and distrust. It could very well be that it is locals' reaction that summoned the authority figures.

But speaking of the Sentencing. Me and another individual, Osamu Dazai, have established a Law Consultation Agency to help those who have been picked to by the program. We both have worked as investigators and along with those who are dealing with law in our own worlds, so I believe our experience could help those who are stuck with these abrupt tasks set by the council. I'd appreciate if those who have had the run-in with Jerry or the Council were to approach us and share their experiences.

So far, they have been reluctant to give us any clear criminal code, which leads me to believe that there isn't one. Despite being granted a grand sounding title as The Chosen it is important to remember that we aren't citizens here, exactly. Meaning we don't enjoy the same privileges as the locals here. Whether that means we are merely prisoners or if there another reason for our presence here? That I don't know of. But at the moment all the signs indicate that we aren't the first group of 'Chosen' to have brought into this world.

If you have any further information or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out for me.

isn't that the bar guy

[Yeah, definitely he bar-guy who collects strays. He thinks Kotone has mentioned both these people, though? Probably because she seems to know absolutely everyone.]

Your job sounds kinda hard if no one's gonna tell us the laws and we ain't even citizens. Like what legal advice can you even give for that?

[murderingjustice]

the same.

that is the problem, yes. but leaving the sentencing task requirements vague gives a plenty of room for loopholes. finding those and knowing how to defend oneself in front of an authority figure without creating more conflict is where we come in.

i am so much more than the bar guy this is so hurtful........ my feelings are so hurt............

100%

[murderingjustice]

it is difficult to say.

currently we only know that these punishments reflect the 'crimes' committed. but there isn't currently a clear pattern what is considered as a crime in this world.

[nullificates]

woooooooooah akechi-kun!!! truly a wonderful way with words!!!! i feel so unburdoned!!!!!!!!

ah, i am the aforementioned dazai. i take questions, too. i managed to find a loophole and fulfill my sentence while doing exactly what they wanted and not at all. i look forward to working with all of you, but please leave the ask explanations to akechi-kun!

[murderingjustice]

I suppose it's too much to ask of you to take this seriously, Dazai-san

[not here]

[If Dara knew his name, she would find it EXTREMELY IRONIC that he's part of this considering he pulled a gun on her. CONSULT YOUR GUN LAWS, DAMN YOU!]

[murderingjustice]

[oh c'mon Dara! You're hardly the first one he's pointed a gun at :)]

[opheliac]

[ i point my gun at you too, boobie senpai. why you leave me out? don't you love me? ]

thats pretty ominous about not being the first ones here
have u found anything that mightve said what happened to them?

[murderingjustice]

there are several factors and events that point to us not being first ones here. the most heaviest evidence would be series of videos that some of us received a few months ago.

those videos showcased different group of people like us in a city that is now in ruins, talking about being The Chosen, Those Who Were There and crimes. other than that there have been mentions of different cycles. people arrive and disappear from this place, so it wouldn't be out of the reason to assume we aren't first ones here.

when Jerry got my sister i tried to go after him. one minute, i was barging into City Hall, and then the next i was slumped outside of the building with a killer headache. Jinx was already gone by the time i came to.

just for your little nerd notes.

It is good to see your effectiveness remains as it has always been.

so...they want us to follow their rules but won't tell us what those rules are?

[murderingjustice]

that seems to be the case, yes.

[ ... ]

Are you guys trying to fight them in court or something?

[ Is that Ange's entire takeaway from this-- maybe. It's mostly the title of Law Consultation Agency, really, even if she does get a hint of what they're trying to do.

But the law part can't help but conjure that kind of mental image in her head. It doesn't help that at least one of the people involved is absolutely wildly ridiculous. Which means it totally could be meant that way. ]

[murderingjustice]

in a thematic sense only. as far as we are aware the council does not grant us opportunity to defend ourselves in court or even negotiate our cases. what we can provide for now is advice and consultation on how to fight back while also completing your sentencing.

I'm offering my services in investigating for people as well. If I can help in anyway, I'd be glad to be of assistance. This sentencing being sprung on us suddenly and with such vagueness has me worried too. And to what end? Has anyone said what happened if they failed the tasks required of them in the sentencing?

[nullificates]

ooooooh, a sight for sore eyes!!! yes, you may come!!!!

[murderingjustice]

ah, it seems like we share same profession, then. very well, your help is greatly appreciated. and please, if you find yourself needing help do not hesitate to turn to us.


as for your question, we are not sure yet. no one has reported a failed sentencing so far, but there has been reports of nightmares, increasing fatigue and physical weakness, immunity to substances that are designed to elavate ones psyche.
