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.

thank you

but was that last bit truly necessary?

[grappler]

yes.

gotta make sure you don't get too big of a head and all that.

[murderingjustice]

ah so you're just keeping me in line? well thank you for that.

but my "nerdy notes" might come useful eventually figuring out what happened to your sister at the city hall.

[grappler]

no problem. i'm good at it.

hey, i don't call you a nerd in a bad way. someone's gotta have a brain around here, and i'm not going to keep track of all this shit.

[murderingjustice]

don't worry. I'm not shallow enough to be hurt by such words, especially knowing your own relationship to education and reading.

[grappler]

i should be offended by that, but i'm not.

still wondering what the hell made the change happen, though. it wasn't like this before.

[murderingjustice]

good, because there is no reason for you to feel offended. never be ashamed of your upbringing or circumstances that have led you to make the choices you have.

good question. i do wonder if it has anything to do with the maze.

[grappler]

[oh... huh. the isn't as prissy as she thought he was.]

oh, i'm not. you don't have to worry about that.

maybe. i mean, when i got out of it Aldrip wasn't even there. i'd be pretty pissed off if i woke up... wherever the hell they went when the maze appeared. probably nowhere good.

[murderingjustice]

[look sister, he knows that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. to him it was to study and read so that he'd stand out from the rest as a prodigy. for her it was apparently punching the right people.]

another person suggested that it could have been entirely different dimension, like an alternative reality. it might sound like a long stretch but this place already has an ability to mess with timelines, so who knows.

[grappler]

ohhh no you're not going to get me with all that bullshit. that's getting too deep into everything too.

y'all just point me in the direction of who you wanna fight, and i'll do it. i'll leave the speculation to you nerds.

[murderingjustice]

ah well

it is good to see you keep things simple and straightforward as ever.

[grappler]

someone's gotta stay consistent around here. makes things simple.
