[ This video starts with neither of the men remotely in frame. They're both wearing dark sunglasses -- dark enough that you can't see their eyes. And they have kind of like... well, maybe not the same mannerisms, but similar enough. One tells only truths has dark brown hair, while the other tells only lies is a red head. They do not look alike. The dark haired one begins to talk: ]
Hey, everyone. So it looks like we have an office here in the city now. [ He shrugs, like that's... totally normal? ] Matt and I will be opening a new firm here, called Murdock & Murdock, in the next couple of days, for anyone who needs any kind of legal services. We'll offer things like reviewing contracts, legal counseling, conflict resolution... basically we're pretty small, but between the two of us we should have just about any practice covered.
[ He doesn't gesture much as he speaks, in fact he's pretty still. This isn't trial, after all. It's a stark comparison to the redhead. ]
Also the building is crazy weird. Our office is the only thing in it? Everything else is locked but there's [ Here, he drops his voice like he's delivering the climax of a horror story at a campfire, ] no one there. [ There's a beat, and then he laughs it off. ] Pretty cool, right? Kinda gives murder vibes, but I think that's a draw to the kids these days.
Cut it out. [ The dark-haired Matt elbows the other one lightly. ] Anyway, if you have any questions about legal counseling or need to hear our credentials or anything, feel free to let us know. Office hours are going to be a little on-and-off since it's just the two of us, but you can message either of us if you need to come by the office. We're "murdock" and "mmurdock" on the network, so you'll get one of us even if you mess up the spelling.
[ ugh fiiiiine dad. The red-haired Matt manages to roll his eyes even behind those dark shades. ]
Also, I'm just saying, that when someone is accused of a crime, it's generally a good idea to speak to a lawyer. But that's just me. Here's your first piece of free advice: if the cops (or Jerry, this is really "cops" in the metaphorical sense) ask you a question you should just shut up before you further incriminate yourself without an advocate.
Right, there's that too. [ He pauses... What else? Oh, yeah. ] This is Matt, by the way. He's also Matt. It's confusing. Don't worry about it.
((ooc: Replies will come from both Matts!! But yes, come get your legal representation, Aldrip))

my name is goro akechi and i used to provide similar services with a man called osamu dazai at one point, however, we tended to focus more on helping the fellow chosen with ways to work around these 'sentencings' that The Council and their henchman Jerry task us with.
we eventually had to close our shop after the disappearance of mr dazai, so i am glad to see someone else to pick up the job. if you need any assistance, recordings or information of the past cases do not hesitate to reach out.

Appreciate the offer, too. Any old files might be useful. Fortunately the office came with my braille printer, so it might take a bit, but we could realistically get those turned over so that Matt and I can read them.

The unfortunate part is that we do not exactly have 'contracts' here, nor do we enjoy the same privileges or rights a citizens normally would do. It leaves us to a vulnerable position.
I shall see what I can do. I must warn you that none of these are "official" so to speak. There have not been any official recordings or documents of the people staying here so far, and I've had to write report all by myself. Another person of interest for you might be Miss Caitlyn Kiranman. She has also worked on similar projects during her stay here.

Right. Usually being charged with a crime is a little more complex than just getting a piece of paper that says "Congrats, you're a criminal."
Hey, like I said, anything helps. Things like documenting and reporting tend to be stuff we take for granted back home. But I think I've spoken with Caitlyn, she's the one who runs a detective agency, right?
