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.

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?

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Uh ... there's people I know who were dead before and they're here now and ... not dead anymore?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

There's no explanation for this other than "we must be fictional"?!

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like it can happen in real life, right?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

There must be some reason for this.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

Uh ... like what, dude?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Patience, Mr. Iori.

[manoamano.livejournal.com]

... For what, dude?

[pelagically]

Present. I run a club for people under those circumstances, actually.

he erased and retyped this like five times. (so did I.)

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

That's ridiculous!

There must be an explanation for this, as improbable as it comes off.

[pelagically]

Good luck finding one.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Believe me, if the truth is out there, I will find it.

[pelagically]

Great, you can be a guest speaker at Progressing Post-Mortem. I'm sure we'd all love to hear why we're alive again.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Don't get ahead of yourself. There's many questions that need answers.

[pelagically]

The same for you. This place doesn't exactly throw information at our feet.
