Ace of Swords: Inevitable Change

[angelic_lawyer]

{text}It's interesting, really, how the scientists want to rebuild their city, but in bringing us here, there's less of a chance it will ever be theirs again. The nature of those here and of people in general is to solicit change, however slowly. No matter what the scientists wish, with the number of people from different worlds, with different

That was a very detailed story. Did you know that person?

[angelic_lawyer]

An associate of mine - a detective - covered the investigation into his death. The reporter had recently contacted my sister with regards to an article and the detective happened to visit my sister at a time I was present, which was how I came to be aware of the story.

[superblynatural]

That really is unfortunate. I hope people take your story into consideration.

[angelic_lawyer]

I suppose so. Some would say that through his own actions he created his own death, though. But then, that brings into question all manner of things surrounding 'misfortune'. It would be nice to think so, but I would not get my hopes up although, as they say, 'change is inevitable'.

[superblynatural]

Ah, the question of destiny again.

You can at least hope the change is for the better.

[superblynatural]

Also, this is the first I've heard of any scientists.

[angelic_lawyer]

Oh? That does surprise me. The scientists are the people who brought us here. I'm surprised you were not told of them.

[superblynatural]

The people who found me weren't exactly informative informed.

Brought us here? I wonder why. I wonder if we all have something in common.

[angelic_lawyer]

Ah, that's unlucky.

Supposedly they have brought us here to serve as a new population for the city, and to rebuild. Whilst we are doing the former to a certain extent, the latter is rather slow in getting off the ground for a number of reasons.

As for things in common, beyond the fact that we are all manners of life, I'm not sure. No one knows for certain whether those brought here are chosen, or whether it is by accident, although the return of individuals leans somewhat to the idea that we are chosen.

[superblynatural]

If they have the power to bring people here, they must have the power to send them back. Wouldn't it be less trouble for them to just move to a new world, rather than bring hundreds of people to this one? There's barely even food.

[angelic_lawyer]

They do have the power to send them back.

It probably would although, Miss Fujioka, when it comes to moments of tragedy, there are many who would cling dearly to that which reminds them of their past and of a time when they were at their happiest rather than acting in what others would call a logical manner. Whilst it's no doubt a weakness, it is a frequently noticed reaction.

[superblynatural]

True, but you'd think eventually they would realize the lack of logic behind their actions. Two hundred people later seems like a good time for an epiphany.

[angelic_lawyer]

One would have thought. However, in this city, it seems logic is not particularly favoured.

[superblynatural]

Good thing I'm used to being surrounded by illogical people, I suppose.

[angelic_lawyer]

I imagine it might help. Would these illogical people be the same as the rich people you spoke about before?

[superblynatural]

Was it that obvious? Or does being rich just necessitate being illogical?
