001. Turnabout the City - [Voice]

[deducebylogic]

If I may have your attention for a moment, I would like to discuss several important matters with those whom the city identify as 'mutants', such as - disturbingly - myself.

First I would like to know your names and a little about yourselves and the worlds that you believe you come from. This is very important. While personal security is certainly

My name is Aqua and I'm from a place called the Land of Departure. I'm a traveler, you could say.

[deducebylogic]

A place called the Land of Departure? I've never heard of it.

[wakingwaters]

It's another world.

[deducebylogic]

And you...travel between worlds? Forgive me, but that sounds rather ludicrous.

[holyfight]

Oh! Hello, Edgeworth-san! I'm Inoue Orihime!

Umm, about the laws... I-I read that it's illegal for us to use our powers. What exactly does that mean...?

[voice]

[deducebylogic]

You are Japanese, are you not, Miss Inoue?

It means that the distrust of the citizens here extends into law itself, though I'm not certain what is meant by 'powers' as I have not experienced examples of any such thing myself.

[voice]

[holyfight]

Uhn! I'm from Japan!

No, I mean... none of us have our powers right now, b-but what happens when they come back a-and we don't really mean to use them but we do anyway or if we're in danger and we need to use them to save our lives or someone else's life? Is that still illegal?

[voice]

[deducebylogic]

I'm not certain I understand--you claim to have such powers as they speak of?

[kimitoaruiteku]

I'm Alphonse Elric... Uhm... I'm ten and I can do alchemy although there's something wrong with it here... It doesn't work right. I'm from Resembool, Amestris and it was the year 1910.

[deducebylogic]

Amestris? I don't believe I've heard of it. Are you truly ten years old? What about your guardian?

[kimitoaruiteku]

I haven't heard of a lot places other people are from either... Uh-huh. But my big brother is here so I'm not on my own.

[deducebylogic]

And how old is your elder brother?

[youropponentis]

The world you 'believe' you come from? So you buy into the delusion that our lives were false?

[deducebylogic]

I have an open mind, that is all. I have no reason to believe it, but no more reason to believe in our lives being real, either.

[youropponentis]

If you insist!

[deducebylogic]

Do you have a good reason to believe it? I would like to hear it if you do.

I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, and right now I really don't want to talk about the past.

[In the past couple of days, Ichigo's gotten more and more stressed out about the situation they're in, and it plainly shows in his voice.]

But I did hear something about a law against using our powers.

[Voice]

[deducebylogic]

I have read about it, yet I have very little explanation on the topic of 'our powers'. You claim to have such powers yourself?

[Voice]

[suppressthedark]

I did, yeah. I can't seem to use them right now, though.

[To be honest, not hearing his hollow was kind of a relief...but the rest of it wasn't.]

[Voice]

[deducebylogic]

Would you mind elaborating on the kind of powers you believe you possess?
