CASE 002 ♞ [TEXT]

[bratworth]

Hello, this is Miles Edgeworth.

Firstly, I would like to post an update in reference to my previous network broadcast, located here.

I did forward everyone's submissions to the Office of the Magister Scientiae and have received a response from Magister Alcmene that the government is doing everything they can to best settle us into their society. Those struggling with the cultural differences, however, are recommended to make use of the local libraries.

While I personally deem this response inadequate, the fact remains that we are guests in their world, and there is still no solid evidence of foul play vs. us being accidental additions to their society. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to take this matter further, I would be happy to hear them.

All of those who provided submissions should now be in the receipt of coffee vouchers for the Lunar Scientiae cafe, a poor substitute for an actual resolution.

Secondly, I am planning on signing up for the Moon Knights soon, and would be grateful to hear about other people's experiences with the organization.

Finally, I am in the market for a roommate. Messy individuals with a propensity for sticking their noses in other people's business need not apply.

I can't say I'm entirely surprised. They have little if not no reason to believe any of us would have problems settling in - while there are other cultures present here, something that wasn't obvious in that first month, they seem similarly oriented to Lunatia when it comes to intimate physical contact.

I still doubt pressing the matter in legal circles will help. We're going to have better luck helping them understand through other means. No doubt the constant discussion of what we're used to versus what's normal here will help in the long run, and in the short run, we're better able to help each other.

[bratworth]

( Although he hates to admit it: )

Yes, I am inclined to agree. I wonder if setting up some sort of organisation within us 'Moonblessed' to help new arrivals become better acquainted to their new home would be of some use.

[asaqueenshould]

It likely would be. I know there was some talk a while back of hosting parties to help ease new arrivals into things, but I don't think one's gotten properly off the ground as of yet.

Admittedly, finding a good time is difficult, since chaos of some kind tends to break out right after people get here, and then there's not much time between that dying down and the moon cycles starting - if there's any at all.

thanks for trying at least

[bratworth]

No, they appear to be standing by their position that they have no control over new arrivals and are as flummoxed as we are.

When did you arrive?

You can thank me when I have accomplished something useful.

[itsknighttime]

Nevertheless, your efforts are most appreciated.

I've been living by myself for a while, but I am not averse to the idea of a roommate.

[He'd much rather room in with someone he already knows, anyway. And someone who in turn wouldn't stick their nose into HIS business.]

[bratworth]

Thank you, but I will be more satisfied when I achieve results.

I have been living alone for some months now, and while I would ordinarily prefer to do so, in this environment I believe it is of mutual interest to have a roommate.

[painalty]

I agree. I have tried living with someone else, but she eventually left. She's no longer in this city, so I'm by myself again.

[trenchdoting]

You're looking to join the Moon Knights, sir?! That's great! I'll teach you everything I know!

And hey, are you saying you wanna room with me sir??! [Because clearly a description like that is nothing like Gumshoe...]

[bratworth]

I thought you were living with Kay.

( Had he misremembered? )

And yes, that is correct. How rigorous did you find the process, Detective?

[trenchdoting]

I sure am, sir! Wouldn't it be great if all three of us lived together? You could have my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch, or the floor. I could even make a little nest out of some of the clothes I have on the floor!

As for the Moon Knights stuff, it was pretty tough. Like studying for a big test! Because there's this big test that you have to study for. There's a written part and a physical part, and there's a whole handbook that you pretty much have to memorize! But hey, you're perfect at this kinda thing, so I'm sure it'll be no challenge for you!

Unfortunately, the only plan of action at present would be to dig for more conclusive evidence, one way or the other, that we were brought here by some unknown force as they claim, or that they took us here themselves.
Further exploration into the Nothing, or into the ruins on the moons, might be the place to start.
Information found in Lunatia itself will likely be sanitized even if there is no darker intent.
Good luck on your roommate search, by the by :)

[bratworth]

Unfortunately, it is going to be difficult to do any exploration without the assistance of our benefactors. It is as you say, however. Whatever information we discover thanks to them is likely to be censored. Perhaps if our numbers continue to grow, we will be able to uncover more for ourselves.

Thank you, I have found a couple of promising leads.

[profanation]

A slow but steady trickle is better than nothing!
Perhaps a jaunt to the moons would be best done first.

[ As the movement there isn't as restricted, but Ardyn's not just going to say that, nor imply more than he already has, via an open text post. ]

Nevertheless, I do thank you for your hard work already.
Not everyone has been quite so proactive in discovering our situation.

I thought that the Moon Knights did not adequately warn us about the problems we were getting into with Level 4. If the Moon Knights and Lunar Scientia are going to turn to us for help, they should be giving us as much information as they can.

[bratworth]

I did not participate in the events pertaining to the Lightless, so I admittedly don't know too much about it. Would you care to catch me up to speed?

[ Hold the phone. ]

I've read this twice, but I want to be sure I'm clear given the magnitude of this. The government answered the concerns you submitted with empty air and coffee vouchers like some kind of cafe. Is that correct?

[bratworth]

Yes, that is correct.

[raisedbybirds]

[ Lawyers aren't typically her favorite kind of people, but the pursuit of truth and justice is something she highly values and appreciates. ]

My investigations with the Lunar Scientiae have also frustratingly borne little fruit. They study and toil as much as we do to understand the machinations behind our own appearance. They haven't withheld any information from me I couldn't already figure out on my own. More than anything that is what disturbs me most of all; for all the research done, no progression has come of it. It's been months and we're no closer to understanding anything than we were the first week we arrived.

[bratworth]

I am unfortunately unsurprised to hear that information has not been forthcoming from that branch of government as well. Were you also part of the first group of Moonblessed to arrive?

[shiliu]

[ what is technology? his ancient Chinese steampunk world certainly never prepared him for all this. thus it has taken him quite a bit of time to figure out how to reply and painstakingly type this reply out. ]

Moon knights. Are you a soldier?

[bratworth]

I am not. I was a lawyer back home. The Moon Knights form a branch of the government in this world.

[mylawn]

I've only run errands for the Moon Knights. Same as the rest of us. What makes you want to sign up?

[bratworth]

Likewise, although I have several acquaintances who have already officially joined the Moon Knights.

I feel like it is the best use I can make of my skillset.
