001 - [ video ]

[jakotsu]

[ Jakotsu has found the most important things in life. He now owns some make-up and a phone, which allows him to host this broadcast and proudly appear on video. His hair is still down as upon arrival and sadly enough his clothes are the normal prison suit, but at least his lips shine brightly red and his eyelashes are nicely dark and full of volume. This way he feels much more comfortable speaking to everyone. ]

Helloo~ [ He actually waves at the video camera. ]

This is Jakotsu-sama speaking! I've probably met some of you already, but I own a phone now so all of this introduction stuff is much easier.

Just showing my face to you would probably have been a great video already, but I've got some questions, too.

First! Money! Aside from these games or whatever they put us in, is there any other way to get some? Like, aside of being a sales assistant or something equally boring.

And second... you all act like the majority in here is wrongly convicted. What's with that? I agree this place is awful, but did you seriously just end up here by accident?

[ He tilts his head curiously. If anything he'd have thought talking about crime in prison would be easier than out of it, but a lot of people he'd met were complete goody two-shoes. It struck him as terribly odd. ]

It's an open market between inmates.

[jakotsu]

open market... so you ofer watevr and som1 pays if they wanna?

[ Open Market... so you offer whatever and someone pays if they want to= is what he tries to say here but his writing skills are... questionable. ]

[Text]

[eraser_rain]

That's right. There are some frivolous spenders around; there may be a market if you have a skill.

U.. um, other than getting a job or the games, I don't think there's any other places to get CP. But... [ She hugs her arm tight, shivering slightly. ] I don't think everybody was wrongly convicted but...

I, I'm sure that it was bad luck that made me come here.

[jakotsu]

Just bad luck? Haaah?

You think just because you act a little scared people'll believe you that?

[dolosa]

B-- but, I'm not--

[ She nervously speaks, her words ragged as she hugs herself, trembling. ]

I was just... at the wrong place at the wrong time...

[ Rei sniffles slightly, bringing her hand towards her eyes as tears begin to drip from her eyes, wiping them as they flow down. ]

I wouldn't do something so horrible or cruel! [ She looks down at where she's sitting, before adding: ] I, I can't...

Whos acting like the majority is wrongly convicted? theres always a chance that someone innocent ends up here but if ht e majority acts that way their just trying to appear more innocent than they really are.

a lot of the peple ive takled to semed so ofendd at the thogt of crime

it was weiird

[ A lot of of the people I've talked to seemed to offended at the thought of crime. It was weird. ]

wen peple juszt lie to covr up, that's cowardize

[ When people just lie to cover up, that's cowardice. ... He should probably just give up on responding in text. Trying to type is so tiring. ]

[Voice]

[dacnomania]

[It takes him a while to interpret that, so he goes ahead and switches it to voice. He doesn't like text, anyway. Meanings and tone can get lost in it.]

It's not weird. A monster will do anything they have to to get what they want. They can be as convincing as they please. It's actually very common.

It is, but were you expecting anything different?

[tunics]

There's jobs and school for money, at least that's what I'm doing.

[and link smiles sadly.]

I don't know about everyone else, but I wasn't wrongly convicted or anything. You're right though, it seems like there's a lot of talk about being framed.

[jakotsu]

[ Hey hey, cute boy even admits his crimes. This is getting to be fun. Well, whatever those crimes are. ]

Really! Being framed is probably not that uncommon, but acting like it's almost a surprise to see a real criminal in prison is just so strange.

They can't possibly all be innocent.... or is the government starting to be that weird already?

It is possible to earn money doing jobs around the prison, though I suppose you could also take a job from another, wealthy, prisoner.

As for being innocent, most here didn't plead guilty but that doesn't always mean it's true.

[jakotsu]

In court yeah, but why stand by it here? Do they really think they'll get out legally again?

[refinedvillain]

A liar will be a liar, no matter the environment, though I suppose many are just hopeful.

[notmynature]

I did kill the guy but it was in self defense. So, I'm kind of guilty but people usually don't go to jail for that kinda thing.

[jakotsu]

They really don't go easy on anybody these days, huh? What stuck-up old guys those judges are...

[ Congratulations on being the first female young enough to not earn Jakotsu's open hostility. ]

video;

[notmynature]

Yeah, maybe they got lonely in prison and needed some company. Man, I really do think a lotta people in here might be innocent.

[She's honored.]

[faustianpact]

I think the first question's been answered as for the second, well. What I did was criminal in so much that it broke the law. I don't think I did anything morally wrong. I have my doubts that some people claiming innocence aren't in that frame of mind.

[jakotsu]

[ Jakotsu examines his new conversation partner curiously. Hmh, also pretty. Nice. ]

Huuuh.... Morals, I see. That's a different matter then. Not that I'd care much.

[faustianpact]

[Both men and women seem to be fond of Georik's prettiness. Not that he'd ever notice himself.]

I would hope that most would at least understand what they're being accused of. To end up here by accident would take a great deal of stupidity.

forever anonymous

[bystandering]

[She was going to ignore this. She honestly was--there was no point in gathering information here. Yet, seeing that Rei replied and how she was treated? Mitsuki is obligated to respond. Anonymously, of course.]

Who are you again?

[jakotsu]

jakotsu. [ His typing is awful but at least he can spell his own name. ] i just sait so

[bystandering]

Is that name supposed to mean something?

video;

[combatbutler]

Well, I can't deny my wrongdoings that got me into this mess. As long as my friends are safe, I don't mind. Though it would be nice to see them again.

[jakotsu]

It was for friends then?

[ Aww, cute. ]

Hmmh, crimes out of loyalty...
