A Brief Introduction

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I was given a laptop, assigned an apartment, and told that I was fake. Reviewing the entries made on this network, my skepticism in this compelling fact is not unshared. Without means of contacting the outside world, the patrons of this island are forced into complicity by an unelected governmental (and I use the term loosely in this case) body. This includes limited access to the outside world as well as a barrier that reaches around the entire island. Much to my dismay, when I inquired about government officials and proceedings, I was given no names nor proper protocol for acquiring such information. Somehow, I'm not surprised.

My name is Miles Edgeworth. In the "fake" world I have been "taken" from I was a prosecuting attorney in my district. Even if my title does not hold here, I'd still like to gather some information about the laws and practices. I'm aware that there is a Police Department, and that select few who were also put in a similar situation now have jobs there. I would like to ask for their cooperation. For anyone else who has information pertaining to New Moore, I will take what you offer.

C'mon, dude, it's not like it's all that complicated. You got the same explanation as the rest of us, right?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I'm unconvinced. Without evidence, their truth means nothing.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Well, what kinda evidence do you want?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Conclusive evidence that we, and the worlds we come from, are "fake."

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

So how do you prove something like that?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

If it's true, there will be conclusive evidence. In the end, it's not my burden to prove. Until something like that surfaces, there should be a level of healthy doubt of what we've been told.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Dude, if you don't have any good ideas about how to prove something, I don't think you really get to complain about it.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, I wouldn't believe anything you hear without evidence.

Allow me to ask, if there's no concrete evidence, what makes you think you're "fake"?

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Well, first of all, I think you're lookin' at this all wrong. We're not fake - we're fictional. And just 'cause we're fictional doesn't mean we're "not really real." There's a difference.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

And as far as "evidence" that we're fictional ... well, let's just say I've seen plenty of stuff in my life that looks like it belongs in some weird sci-fi manga.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Just because something looks like something else doesn't necessarily always mean it's the truth. If we truly are "fictional," you could be so kind as to tell me the name of the piece of media that you're from.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Eh, they didn't tell me that part.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

I bet it's something awesome though! Like ... "Junpei's Amazing Adventure of Epic Heroics and Awesome"!

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

...

If you find out, I will accept that as proof.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Eh, even if I did find someone who knew, they could just tell me anything. That wouldn't really prove it, right?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

You're catching on.

No, not until you hold it in your hand and see it for yourself.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Hmm ... but even that could be faked. It's not too hard to make something on a computer these days.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Though I believe if that were the truth, that you would have received a copy of your publication to further their hold over you. It would be a weapon they have at their disposal.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Man, you've really thought this all out, huh? This is so much work ... I think I'm startin' to get a headache!

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Their are questions you need to ask yourself in the light of certain things. If it's at their disposal, why haven't they used it? If we are "fictional" and there is such media, why haven't we seen it?

Rest assured if fake material begins to circulate, it will be proven as fake.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess there are those people who are experts in forgeries and stuff. There's bound to be one around here somewhere, right?

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

So, uh ... what would be like, the best evidence?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

What indeed?

I couldn't speculate until I saw it.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

What if ... there's someone who's alive here who was dead before?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

What do you mean the dead are alive?
