here's your damn homework, council

( it's a fuckin powerpoint under the cut )

[The Google slides link can also be found here!

FOR THOSE UNAWARE: Minato, Akechi, Rolo, and Shinjiro all received a group sentencing. It was to educate the chosen on why murder is unforgiveable. Please enjoy the fruits of their dubious labor.]

heartstopping

[Rolo doesn't bother with the anonymity of text for once, nor the innocent civilian teen act. He can't bring himself to care right now. Why bother maintaining a decent reputation, why try to build a life? There's no point anymore. Not for him, anyway.

He sits with a flat expression, idly fiddling with the charm dangling from his phone.]

There is no Council. The sentencing room is empty and it doesn't look like it's ever even been used. Whatever's in control of this aren't people. It's no wonder blowing the building up didn't do anything.

[His fingers still on the little locket charm, and then squeeze it tightly.]

If anyone has any ideas on how to kill something without a physical body, I'm listening.

[the video starts with the camera pointed at the ground, before slowly panning up with the slightly unsteady hand of someone who isn't used to such technology. the pan up reveals a modest stone building, a yard fenced in by nice tall metal fences, and...dogs. they're playing in the yard so it's a little hard to count, but there must be twelve or fifteen of them. small dogs, large dogs, if you can imagine a dog one of them is probably cavorting around the yard. after simply observing the dogs for a moment, the handler of the phone begins to speak.]

As you can see, since Aldrip expanded there's been a noted increase in stray dogs.

[the camera wobbles as a particularly enthusiastic dog jumps on kakashi, showing off how short he is and also possibly how strong he is as he easily pushes the dog away.]

I've been housing and feeding all I can but I'm running out of room. Any responsible individuals who might like to care for a dog themselves can feel free to come by...I'll even send you off with some dog food.

[he fumbles with the phone a bit before there's a DING and the address of kakashi's house appears on the bottom of the screen. god knows how he figured out how to do THAT.]

That's all.

[and the video ends abruptly. not one for beating around the bush, this kid.]

Greetings to all of Aldrip. My name is Abe no Seimei and I come bearing warnings and offerings.

Some time within the last month, pieces of a resident called Dara have been taken from her and spread throughout the city. While macabre on its own, these pieces will also soon begin to radiate harmful miasma into the air and effect all living things in the surrounding area. The effects are not unlike an illness--sluggishness, soreness, chills and so on, but continued exposure will not only worsen the effects on your body but your mind, bringing fear, despair, violent urges...if left unchecked, it will eventually suffocate all it touches.

As part of my duties back home, I have extensive experience mitigating and cleansing such miasma. I am, however, only one man and certain we've all noticed the city's sudden growth recently.

In exchange for assistance in the search for these missing pieces, I am offering personally charmed talismans to significantly lessen the effects of the miasma in tainted areas and cleansing to those who have already felt its effects. You will find me on the main road between the inn and the library.

For the moment that is all. May we find each other well.

[ ooc: this coincides with the current player plot! please feel free to use this as an ic mingle for making plans or ask seimei any questions. good hunting! ]

heartstopping

[Rolo has not been having a good time since everyone's memories came back. He's mostly dealt with this by staying home curled up in bed and ignoring the network completely, but after a few days he's finally desperate enough to pull the network device thing back out.]

Is there anything like a therapist in this city?

[He's not even thinking about shit like going anon right now. That would probably be a bad sign, if his standard preference for anonymity didn't necessarily preclude people knowing about said preference.]

orphne

[Okay, so when Goro Akechi asks nicely for a favor, Kotone isn't one to turn him down. People are probably more likely to listen if it's not-him saying something! Besides, it's kind of fun to pretend to be a real news anchor, sitting next to Minato at one of the desks in the club building, holding a piece of paper in both hands. In light of recent events, though, her usually-bright smile is a bit more subdued as she mouths a few words, skimming down the paper, and then immediately makes a face.

It's so obvious to anyone who knows either Minato or Kotone that there's no way what they're reading out loud are their own words. Their broadcast goes live not long after Ragna's post.]

Good evening Aldrip!

I'm certain that we all are aware of the current events. Especially since the perpetrator behind the latest explosion decided to grant us with a live broadcast and-- [She pauses, scrunching up her face, because what's written next is so passive-aggressive about "the person in question not having a plan, and how no one should be surprised that person didn't have a plan." She'll just leave that part out and skip ahead,]

Considering the nature of the Council, it'd be foolish to think this attack will be left unpunished. However, we aren't sure if they will come to us as a whole or just target the perpetrator. Honestly, both are plausible scenarios. Which is why I believe we need to gather all the information we have of The Council.

[ Why is this so long?? Minato leans over a bit, squinting at the mess of handwritten notes in front of him. ] A lot of people have theorized that they are the ones responsible for our presence here, or that they are godlike creatures. While I believe this is an important theory to keep in mind, I’m not sure that’s the case here.

The council was originally absent when The Chosen arrived here for the first time. They only became active back in October after we went through the Maze. [She makes another face, because the maze sucked.] For those who weren't here back then, here's a quick summary: One night in September the town transformed into a gigantic maze with different levels that we had to clear while facing our fears, insecurities and memories related to the crimes in our parchments. After a few days the maze disappeared and town returned back to 'normal.' That's when 'Jerry' appeared and began to act on behalf of The Council to rehabilitate the criminals.

…‘someone' suggested that we might have entered a whole different timeline after coming out of the maze. [ He takes a moment to shuffle through his papers because, what maze…? Minato glances over his shoulder at something off-screen with a puzzled expression before looking straight ahead again. ] There’s no concrete evidence on this, but we shouldn’t ignore it either. The odd behavior from the locals would suggest it. They’ve been seen freezing in the middle of action before suddenly changing their opinions and behavior, along with being… unable to offer any proper information about the world they live in.

It could be that the world is preparing for another world-altering change right now, just like back with the maze. [Maybe they should have led with that?]

We also believe that we are hardly the first group of The Chosen who have arrived. There have been mentions of previous "cycles", indicating that there were others before us. These cycles were mentioned in the graves that we came across during October's witch hunt — [ He glances at something out of view again with a curious tilt of the head. After blinking a couple times with a frown in that direction, he turns to his notes again. ] — along with… an underground grotto where we found pictures of the people from past. [ Minato frowns a bit because that’s… mildly concerning if true. Frankly, he doesn’t know whether anything in these notes is true at all. ]

The biggest indicator, however, that we are not the first ones here are the sudden images, video and audios clips we received after our expedition with the fairies back in July. [Her mouth opens in an "oh" as if she's only just realized something herself, then shrugs and continues reading,] Those clips showed people from the past discussing about their "crimes" very similarly to our own. They also mentioned dealing with similar trials and monsters like we have. So, it would make sense if we assume that everything that we have gone through has happened before, and that we are following some sort of a script...? [HUH?? Now it's her turn to stare off-screen mouthing 'what?']

Or at least, that was the case until the destruction of the City Hall. [ Finally, something he actually has firsthand knowledge about and doesn’t need to glance over his shoulder to make sure he’s reading things correctly. ]

[Apparently whatever she's looking at off-screen is prompting her to continue, because she makes a face but checks her papers again. And then makes yet another face, deciding to paraphrase what's written there.] The Council is really powerful and can alter people's memories and bodies, but maybe they're not the ones behind the maze...? 'Cause apparently we don't have any proof that they can change reality. So maybe they're just a product of maze instead of the ones behind it. [She scrunches up her face and checks the papers again, a little doubtfully,] Maybe like Jerry, they're being used as tools by someone with greater power...? [She's kind of regretting agreeing to do this... she should have made Akechi read his own hypotheses...]

We don’t know who or what that powerful being may be. It could be the ones that locals call Those Who Were Here, but they seem to be deities only to Aldrip. None of the other towns have shown any signs of religion as far as we know. They might be a red herring set out to mislead us. [ He speaks flatly with an impassive expression. Minato clearly doesn’t actually believe or agree with anything that’s coming out of his mouth right now. He maintains his focus though, eyes trained on the notes in front of him. ] Whatever it is, we believe we can all agree that their excuses and explanations about wanting to rehabilitate us is bullshit, along with our 'crimes.' [ Minato looks off camera again and gives definitely-not-Akechi-Goro a thumbs-up. ]

[Kotone puts down her papers and sticks out her tongue a little as if trying to figure out how to talk normally again after all that formal language.] Anyway, that's just a summary, so if anybody has any other information, go ahead and let us know! How was that, Goro?

[ ooc: Replies will mostly be from Akechi, but possible peanut gallery-ing from Kotone and Minato!

Also please feel free to tag each other too! Hop on in and let’s start cooking some theories \o/ ]

heartstopping

[Rolo's not generally bothered by what anyone thinks, but somehow this feels like an extremely embarrassing thing to have to ask, so he sticks with posting anonymously like he has been so far.]

How does one go about "forming bonds" with people on purpose?

[ don't laugh please he has literally only ever stumbled into this by accident ]

invinciblemikey

you did your crime? i aint done mine. i came close, but i didnt do it.

im on the choppin block this time. anyone try to kill jerry yet

A question for the Chosen: why have you not banded together already? Some arrivals go back to almost a year, and yet you're still here. You're not without skill. There are summoners, magic users, and bomb makers in this city. Directed efforts could surely overpower our captors if there was direction.

Possibly there are those who want to stay here. Those who are dead in the world that they come from. But what of the ones who want to go home? What do they say? Are they just content to live their lives here while they have unfinished business at home?

It's possible that some of the lack of action is complacency. But others... may be a lack of leadership. Instead of waiting around for someone to save you, have you considered that you might be able to take charge of your situation? What holds you back? The Council? Jerry? That is one man, and an entity that we haven't seen thus far.

For now, it's food for thought. But I'd be interested to know who would actually be interested in leaving this place, instead of playing house in a world that dictates their actions. For those who may want to stay... what would life be like without the "Council" watching your every move?

opheliac

i dont know what the hell is going on here but i cant leave this stupid town. theres this invisible wall or something thats keeping me in here. but the local losers are moving in and out of this place just fine. what a load of crap. stupid big wigs and their heebie jeebie magic sparkles. if anyone can get out of this dump, i need a favor. ill even pay u as a trade off for it.

nullificates

Hello, ladies and gentleman! This could be a radio show, I could tell you all the people I saw smacking kisses this past December, the list is long and juicy!

But, no. Today, the matter at hand is a little different. As you know, the plants, the animals, everything is in a rather bad place right now, and unfortunately, 'No Longer Human' can do nothing for you! It's not an ability, you see? Oops.

That said, if you feel out of control, come to Lupin. I'll be there for this month, and I'll keep an eye on your abilities for you.

No free drinks, please don't trash my bar, and Lupin employees will be compensated with all my salary shared between you guys this month for working overtime and on my behalf because I'm definitely not attending to so many people!

This has been Dazai, good luck out there.
