[Accidental Voice; Video] After Darkness Falls.

Jan 09, 2012 23:25

[There's a familiar scream, and an all-too-familiar Prosecutor roaring in pain, the white of his eyes wide with rage. Definitely not one of his better moments…Though luckily the audio feed cuts rather quickly, and when the next NV function is used, an older man with a scowl is staring directly at the screen, sitting calmly in the dugout with his ( Read more... )

[A prosecutor with the last name von Karma? Given the manner of speech and the same last name, Nelliel assumes he's related to Franziska.]

...have the Greeters provided you with information about this place as of yet?

[What is tact, Von Karma? What is politeness? By now he's quite annoyed.]

You mean the inexcusably lacking personnel that I hear are supposed to be at their posts? If anything, they're just as guilty. I'll see to it that they're all guilty.

Information would be most useful.

[Guilty? Nelliel contemplates asking him just what the Greeters would be guilty of, and decides not to bother for the moment. Finding oneself in a strange place is distressing.]

You are in the city of Siren's Port, and it was the Core that brought you here. Most people here have also been brought here against their wills. A starter apartment will have been assigned to you for one month free of rent to give you the chance to find a job and adjust to being here.

[She pauses and lets that information sink in before continuing.]

It is very important to stay inside after dark. There are dangerous creatures that come out and attack people. Sirens go off in the evening to warn people that they have come out, and the sirens go off again in the morning to let everyone know the creatures are gone for the night.

Siren's Port, Canada.

[He repeated, dully. He wasn't pleased. It was incredibly cold.]

What month and year is it?

[Frown.]

What sort of creatures?

It's currently January of 2012. As for the creatures, there should be a listing of them in your NV device.

I should also advise you that there are people from different worlds here. As bizarre as that may sound.

2012?

[The past, then.]

NV device? You mean my phone.

[Eying it now. Would it really hold such information? Good then. He could do research while he was inactive.]

Someone made mention of...alternate realities.

They are also referred to as NVs here. And yes. Alternate realities is one way to describe it. Not all of the Newcomers to Siren's Port are human

Has anyone mentioned AGI and SERO to you yet?

[Voice] makethemguilty January 11 2012, 03:40:33 UTC
Clearly.

[He met the girl known as Kosmos. She was definitely not human.]

They have.

[Well, that makes things easier if he's already aware of that much.]

The companies often pressure people to affiliate with them and use questionable tactics.

[Voice] makethemguilty January 11 2012, 03:54:32 UTC
[Oh? That only intrigues him.]

Affiliate? How? And why would anyone want them stopped if they supposedly contribute so much to government infrastructure?

AGI is also involved with slavery - including sexual slavery. Rather than have criminals punished in jail, AGI tries to use its influence to have criminals turned over to them for slavery auctions. In the case of SERO, they perform experiments on people. The companies are enemies who are both vying for power.

People oppose them because of those things and because they would prefer to carry out their lives without being involved in someone else's power struggle.

[Disgusting. Hm. He wondered if they were the bargaining type. Obviously she's not the one to ask about that, however.]

And yet they involve themselves in supporting the mass transit system and farmland? How do you account for their benevolence? As merely a ruse?

[Voice] gamuzadeclares January 15 2012, 02:58:25 UTC
I suspect that supporting the mass transit system and farmland benefits the companies themselves indirectly. They need their workers to be able to get to and from work, and the food that comes from farmland will benefit them as much as anyone else.

[That, of course, was a more logical explanation than he'd been hoping for.]

Then they're all just as guilty.

[Voice] gamuzadeclares January 15 2012, 04:48:03 UTC
The individuals who commit the crimes, and the people who witness them and do not report them are guilty. A person who works as waitstaff at an AGI owned club can hardly be considered equally guilty to someone who actively seeks to force people into sexual slavery.

...Sexual slavery?

[All he'd heard was slavery, no specifics.]
