{Tenth Robbery} Revelation [Video]
[The video feed turns on to reveal a very thoughtful looking John with several stacks of money and a notebook on his desk in the background. He leans back in his seat and gives a smirk with his fingertips pressed together.]
One by one people're leavin'. The butler's gone, an' don't think I didn't notice that. Th' li'l girl with blonde curls, she's gone an' my li'l brother Natsuo. He's gone. Now, ya gotta ask yerself, what's yer purpose in this chaotic place? Is it th' same as back home or did people adapt an' move on?
What about home? What about those people ya left behind? Are they forgotten? Now rumor has it that time freezes when we leave our worlds. I dunno if tha's true 'r not but there's some of us that don't wanna test that theory out. I'm one of 'em. I leave here, and as some of you already know, I'm dead. Simple as that.
[Leaning forward on the chair, the leather creaking from the shift.]
Now, ya gotta ask yerself, what's the one thing tha' keeps th' peace? I know what that answer is an' it's been on my mind since I came here. Answer that question, an' I'll give you a reason t' like me or hate me. There's no in between.
[John pauses for a moment before he continues. Something seems a bit rehearsed through the entire speech and those that know John knows he's a man of few words.]
Ya know, I got t' thinking about my home. About th' things I miss an' th' things I hated most. What struck me out most, yeah I robbed banks. That's common knowledge. Am I braggin' about it? I guess it's a matter of perspective. One thing I can say is that I'm American an' I believe in a democracy. We don't got that here. An' since no one's got the balls t' stand up....I will.
I challenge any man or woman t' stand up an' cast their name in a ballot for an election as leader. As I heard, that didn't happen before an' that was wrong. I challange th' Author to stop me. I challenge anyone tha' says otherwise t' present their claims an' ideas t' prove me wrong.
I. Dare. You.
[And the feed goes black.]

Seeing Nice's face on the screen helped to keep him focused. He's done a lot these past few months and he still had more to do.]
Heya, doll. What's on yer mind?
[Video]
[Sheepish smile, before she shrugs]
Nothin' much, but I liked whatcha said there. It'll work better if there's a vote.
No more 'a this 'I gave the Author 5 minutes in heaven and suddenly things are goin' my way' crap..
[Video]
Pfffft, fuck that. The only one I'll take t' bed is you an' I ain't interested in no one else. But yeah, an election is just what I was gettin' at. First of all, I think it's better to set the laws first and that should be done with everyone and not just me.
[Video]
But still, what happens if this don't work? I know a couple 'a folks round here who'd rather cut an arm off then see things not go their way
[Pause]
..Not that that wouldn't make for an interestin' network post or anythin'..

Best I know about people goin' home- sometimes they come back, but their memories wiped or altered. Check the blonde girl, Misa, she left and she's back. This place took my niece away from me and my girlfriend's kid, so it just makes no damned sense.
no subject
I heard about that Misa girl. She's only been gone a couple'a days but nothing too out'a order. Then again, I never talked to her neither. How ya been?
no subject
I didn't either, but its still not to comfortin'. You're here one day, next you're back and you don't remember jack shit. [He waves a hand at the thought.] Good as I can be? My girlfriend is just losin' her shit, so I'm tryin' to keep that from happenin' while makin' a welcomin' packet for this place. So I'm tired, bout it.
no subject
[A momentary pause.] [Private]
Oh yeah, the welcome pack. Never got one of them. Not that it's yer fault. Noticed that some people 'round here only stick t' their own. Which is why I ain't too keen on the Kiddie Brigade.
Been checkin' out that kid...Shinichi an' only saw him out once. Ain't talkin' t' him now. I've been watchin' th' li'l brat Conan too. Somethin' seems off. Like...he's not tellin' th' entire truth. The thinking process both have are very similar an' sorry t' say this but trainin' no matter how good still makes individuals. That kid is a drone.
[Private]
[That just earns a sigh from Eddie.] I've been tryin' to get to everyone, but fuck, I'm one guy and the people who are supposed to be helpin' are doing jack shit. So I can't begrudge you for not likin' the 'kidie brigade' any. I know one of the detectives pointed a fuckin' flame thrower at my girlfriend, so I'm not exactly happy with them myself.
I keep away from them, usually I'm all for helpin', but so far they've done little to actually make this place any better beyond collect information when we get an influx of new people and horde it to themselves.

[He pauses for a moment and scratches his chin.]
Perhaps we should consult everyone and see what they think. I would not wish to impose a difficult system on anyone.
[Video]
Now, honestly speaking and since this new to a lot of people, I really think we should all sit down an' discuss what kind'a laws that should be placed first as a group an' write those down fer everyone t' see. Otherwise, all we're doin' is creatin' a bigger mess outta nothin' that doesn't exist.
Now, before an election can start, we need guidelines and we ain't got those.

My proposal is t' start now and collectively to make new laws that everyone can see and each person bringin' in something from their world that'll help others in the future. Kinda like a Constitution only a little more....uh...creative.
Even I didn't want t' do this but no one's steppin' up.
[Video]
There are people here who don't care about the law, and they won't listen to anyone or any election.
[Video]
Really what should have taken place in the beginnin' which wasn't done, was somethin' called a town meetin'. A gathering. Why th' other system didn't work is simple. Too much power was on one person.

This is her story - there's only so much we can do before she steps in

You want to be leader? Why?
[ For her, Light will always have her vote. But, she really didn't like talking about politics. A part of her blames it for letting her parents' murderer free. ]
Are you good enough?
no subject
To answer yer other question, I'm good enough t' do what needs t' be done but that don't qualify me t' run a government. As I said, I ain't the type. I'm challengin' anyone that can prove it.
Good t' see ya back, Misa. Seen ya around before but never got th' chance t' talk with ya.
[Audio/1/2]
[ Plus, there are too many stupid people. If you don't have patience for them, won't that stress you out? She shakes her head and laughs. ]
Is Misa saying weird things? Sorry---
