WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS???

Who is this fool of a man, and why was I taken to his house? And where are my personal effects and my whip?

If I do not receive an explanation for this foolishness immediately, there will be serious repercussions.

....Oh boy, they really made a mistake this time....

[perfect_karma]

I would hope that would be obvious, but I would never underestimate the amount of foolishness it is possible to be subjected to.

...I hope you're intending to provide an explanation, Maya Fey.

W-Welcome to Mayfield! We're all forced to live here in families and there's no way out!

[perfect_karma]

While that might be an adequate explanation for Phoenix Wright, I generally prefer to have a less foolishly incompetent understanding of my surroundings, thank you.

What information can you provide on why I have been brought here, and can you elaborate on your two 'statements.'

[hisironcross]

Make a guess! There's no official meaning to this that we know of.

[perfect_karma]

What is your name?

[hisironcross]

I am the awesome Prussia.

[perfect_karma]

I see.

I wished to know so that I could better recall who it is here who provides completely worthless information, so that in the future, I could better discount time-wasting fools.

For your information, your identity is nothing to be proud of, so please do not subject me to your boasting or foolish nicknames.

[hateslonglines]

Just so you know, trying to get straight explanations out of the people here is like pulling teeth.

[perfect_karma]

I've noticed.

Fortunately, I am well acquainted with many methods of extracting difficult information, as well as painful methods of tooth removal.

[hateslonglines]

From what I've heard the mayor in this town is the one who kidnaps people. How he does such things is anyone's guess.

[perfect_karma]

Yes, I've heard as such as well. However, it seems the existence of such a person is based only on rumor and the word of one Police Chief Grady, as he has never been seen by anyone I was spoken to.

Nevertheless, thank you for your information, Mr...

[kaitopants]

Whip?

[perfect_karma]

It is a valued item of mine that has been stolen.

[kaitopants]

I shouldn't ask what she uses it for...

You'll have to earn it back.

[perfect_karma]

Earn it back? What foolishness is this?

I earned it in the first place!

[reluctantnanny]

Another kidnapped... Excuse me, miss. Have you been given proper explanation about the situation? It is imperative that you understand what is going on here if you wish to survive what lies ahead. Tell me what you've been told, and I will ascertain if anything important has been left out.

[perfect_karma]

Are you in charge of providing explanations, or do you simply take it upon yourself? At any rate, I appreciate the offer, if your insight is in any way valuable

[reluctantnanny]

I'm not in charge here, but simply take it upon myself to explain things when I can. People have a right to be properly informed.

*listens, nods, nods some more, listens some more, taps his chin, nods...* I see...

I will add that people are brainwashed even without reason, just as often as for insubordination. When the brainwashing is instated as a punishment, it lasts for a short period of time; for all other instances, however, the brainwashing can last for weeks, or months. For those brainwashed for a longer amount of time, the possibility of suffering acute amnesia increases; they forget all that happened in Mayfield, though retained all memories of their lives before coming here. I am continuing to research this particular phenomenon, since brainwashing robs us of our free will.

I'm sure you've noticed by now that your image appears in photographs all over the house, as if you've lived there for years and years, yes? All the drones will insist that this is the case, Chief Grady included.

[perfect_karma]

Can you clarify what specific acts of insubordination are generally targeted with brainwash? And to what, if any, extent do the police practice more traditional law enforcement?
