1 / video / open action for loki house if anyone wants to play video games with him

[foggiestidea]

They have some nice games here. Since everything here is pretty much provided for us, I've gotten a chance to relax away from dealing with work all the time in ways I never even dreamed of before. It's nice. I'm sure the gods thought of that and that's why they're doing this. But, uh, that isn't what I wanted to talk about. Well, it sort of is sort of isn't. I know not everyone is like me...

What I really wanted to ask about is the presence of a police force. I mean, everything seems pretty calm and peaceful now, but that's because we're all still getting our bearings. It's not like everyone brought here is going to be calm and peaceful all the time. So, I guess what I'm asking is if anyone had any thoughts about that?

And government, too, this place seems like it's just waiting to become a City-State or something along those lines. Maybe we should start looking at things more in the long-term, since we're all apparently stuck here for the rest of our lives. I mean, all right, maybe even if we ourselves have peace our whole lives, what about any children that are produced? And their children? We might want to look at setting something up for the future.

I'm Adachi, for anyone who doesn't know. I know I haven't made my presence all that clear on this thing before, so for formality's sake: everyone, it's nice to meet you.

Hello, Adachi. A pleasure to meet you as well. My name is Yuri Petrov. I and some others have been working toward organizing a police force and a justice system.

If you're interested, the more citizens we can involve, the better.

[video]

[foggiestidea]

I'd be interested. I was a police detective back in my world, and my partner's here in the city as well. I can't speak for him, but I know I'd like to be involved in any way I can be.

[exiledarcana]

I'm not so sure that a police force or an actual government would be necessary if there are gods presiding over this place. If something were to go against their wishes, couldn't they just intervene?

[He's totally not speaking from experience. Nope.]

[Video]

[foggiestidea]

That's one thought, yeah, but do we really want to rely on the gods for all those things? That seems like a lot of dependency, which is understandable at this point, but further on down the road? It's possible things may be problematic if the gods ever change their mind about us or decide they can't be bothered with dealing with any of that.

[moribundity]

Who says we're staying that long?

video.

[foggiestidea]

The gods, I thought. Well, the maid too. Supposedly there's no way to go back to where we're from, so that means we're going to have to look into building a civilization here.

[video]

[kidemonas]

You sound assured in our prolonged stay in this place.

[video]

[foggiestidea]

I don't really have any reason to doubt it. If there's no way to get back, I don't want to spend my time foolishly denying that there's no way and ignore what's right in front of me in the process.

nothing to see here, he's just taking some notes

[mechaplanned]

[ action! ]

[stungun]

Games? There are games here?

[ Video games aren't big in her time, being from the Shouwa era, but she loves boardgames and...stuff. She's just arrived, so she's still in her waitress outfit, but the word GAMES pinged her so hard. ]

[ action! ]

[foggiestidea]

Oh, uh, yeah. There are a few. I don't know how many would suit your fancy, though.

[panzerlied]

I don't think we could get all the people here to agree on a form of government, but a police force would be a good idea on the long run.

audio;

[foggiestidea]

That's a good point. I guess it couldn't hurt to try despite that, but yeah, I'd agree the police force is the idea that deserves the most attention at this point.

voice;

[knickerweasels]

Interested in some kind of...justice around here, are you?

[ it's relevant. ]

I had no idea there were so many people ready to uphold those ideals. There certainly aren't where I come from.

voice;

[foggiestidea]

I can't speak for anyone besides myself, but it's better than leaving things the way they are, isn't it? You know, just in case something happens.

[shigeharu]

If the gods here could be considered the lords of this city, would it not be their responsibility to administer it...and mightn't they react negatively to outside attempts to enforce law?

[Pardon the old-fashioned outlook, Adachi, he's from the Sengoku era and clearly looks it.]

video.

[foggiestidea]

They don't seem to be those sorts of gods, though. Their purpose for bringing us here seems to just be to allow us to live however we want. If that includes setting up a police force or government system, wouldn't that be within the parameters of their intentions for us? That is, if they're being honest with them. There's no telling what it would mean if they were lying.

video.

[outcast]

What's a 'police force'? Some manner of guardian spirit?

[ merrill tilts her head quizzically. back home, they didn't have things such as police officers.. no, the justice was not quite as fair or good natured as that. ]

And hello, Adachi! I'm Merrill.

video.

[foggiestidea]

No, it's an organization of people qualified to keep the peace in a certain area by upholding laws. Do they not have that sort of thing where you're from, Miss Merrill?

( action! )

[memorization]

[ passing almost silently behind adachi, taking note of his little speech and his mannerisms before snickering a little. ]

Man, don't you seem comfy.

( action! )

[foggiestidea]

[!]

Oh, hi there. Just a bit, hahaha.

[auxiliary]

That'th ... pretty far in the future that you're concerned about.

[foggiestidea]

Just some passing thoughts. Nothing wrong with planning ahead, right?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

For Oniichan to think about the police force first -- does Adachi-niisan have any connections to the police back home?

Ne -- I don't think Adachi-niisan's ideas are bad, but how did he decide we would be here for the rest of our lives?

[video]

[foggiestidea]

Wow, you're pretty good. That's right, I was a police detective back home. As for being here for the rest of our lives, well, that seems to be the intention of the gods who've brought us here. I'm going along with what the maid has said to me.

voice.

[bloodyperky]

[ ... government and police forces. it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. ]

Most of us seem to be from different societies. Not everyone will take being governed by a minority well. It's a little counter-productive, if the thing that's meant to 'keep the peace' actually splits the population.

voice.

[foggiestidea]

You're right. It seems the idea of a government isn't as popular as the idea of a police force.

[Video]

[saving_sound]

F-for the rest of our lives?!

[Guess who didn't think of that.]

[Video]

[foggiestidea]

Well, yeah. If there's really no way back, then we're going to be stuck here until we die. Oh, but you shouldn't worry too much about it now. There's really no way of telling how much of that will hold true.

[video]

[aeterno_arma]

[[You can see the face of a teen with green eyes, dark skin and light purple hair. Laurent doesn't like polices officers or guards....or anything like that. They were really cruel or stupid in his world.]

Do you believe that we will stay here for so long?

[video]

[foggiestidea]

I did, but it seems like my theory about that has kind of been thrown up in the air. There's a definite possibility of that, though, from what I can tell, but it's not quite as black and white as I thought it to be previously.

[thaumatic]

You.

[Hey, bro, guess who's still a little sore about his dead girlfriend. The one you murdered. That one.]

The hell are you playing at?

filtered to the investigation team;

[foggiestidea]

[Welp, looks like Hanamura didn't get the memo.]

I guess Souji didn't mention anything to you. That's all right, I really should be the one you talk to about this anyway...

video;

[verifies]

...you want to start a police force?

[ haha wow that sounds like such a bad idea... from you, anyway. ]

video;

[foggiestidea]

Ideally it would be a combined effort between myself and Dojima-san, since I know I'm not exactly qualified to run it or anything like that, but I haven't really had a chance to talk it over with him yet. It looks like some other people have already gotten this project started, though, so I may just be helping out any way I can with that.

[He can feel that judgment oozing off you in waves, Souji. Rude.]

voice;

[takebow]

...Well, someone's in that palace, and someone's keeping the gates to the city shut. Don't we already have some kind of a government?

voice;

[foggiestidea]

Yeah, but do we really know anything about it? What does it really do?

video

[exposes]

[judgin' you too adachi. especially at that mention of POH-lice and kids how skeevy.]

... We might not be here forever.

video

[foggiestidea]

A lot of people have mentioned that possibility. Hardly anyone is ready to accept that this is definite. I guess I'm an unusual case, then...

video;

[unionjackass]

I certainly don't intend to stay here that long. Not that it's not a good thing to consider, this little rambling of yours; it is. However, I think something much more short-term ought to be considered as to lay a proper foundation before any grandiose schemes are blown out of proportion.

To be honest, if that keeps us safe, we'll continue to build up. And in the middle of it all, we'll be attempting to find a permanent solution to this entire mess.

Hullo Adachi; my name is England. To spare any future confusion that's certain to arise, I am the nation. It's quite a long story and I'd like to think that it's irrelevant, given the circumstances.

A pleasure.

video;

[foggiestidea]

The nation? Wow, that's pretty impressive. [Yeah, he'll just leave that alone for now.] I understand why you might want to think about something a little more short-term, and I think that might be best for now, especially considering how many aren't ready or willing to accept that this place may indeed be their new home for the long-term.

video

[beansprouts]

Eh, really? I thought everyone here seemed nice! But the police are helpful for a lot of things, aren't they...? Like helping you when you're lost or if you find someone's wallet on the ground.

That sounds like a really good idea! Maybe people can volunteer. [yayoi as a cop........... oh no]

video

[foggiestidea]

You've got it! Even if times are peaceful, there's bound to be situations like those. You're pretty smart.

[For reference, Adachi's test of smarts:

Do you agree with him?

A. Yes

B. No

Choose one.

If A, congratulations! You're smart. Now go frolic into the sunset together, as you two are clearly the only ones who make sense in this crazy fucked up society.

If B, wow, what an idiot you are. You're probably some brat who's clouded by their own naivety. I bet you're also lazy and have too much free time on your hands so you never learned to work properly and are basically the scum of society while still in school. While you're at it, why not just jump off a bridge?]

[blessedthy]

Don't assume what has yet to past.

[foggiestidea]

Oh, uh, all right.

[ video ] YEAAAAH I'M FINALLY HERE

[myjunes]

[ Nanako first seems a bit surprised, but it gets more so once she notices who is actually talking - she didn't know he was here too, after all! ]

Adachi-san..! You're here too?

[ after the initial surprise, she smiles a little instead though - it's someone she knows, after all, and not a complete stranger so it's a little easier to get over her initial shyness. ]

Are you going to start.. um, a police force here? ... Hmm, is dad going to help too? [ it seems to only make sense to her. ]

[ video ] YEAAAAH I'M FINALLY TAGGING BACK

[foggiestidea]

Nanako-chan! Yeah, I'm here. It's nice to see you are too. And yeah, that's the plan! That is, if I can get your dad on board with it. Wait, do you know what "on board" means?

[action]

[quakings]

Games? [he is very curious. could they be the kinds of games aniue has? let's hope he doesn't eat the control this time if that's the case.] What kind of games? Are they fun games?
