You know, mun, I don't usually like to encourage this sort of thing, since any time I'm active in a game, you always have to make my life a living hell in the process. But when you spend the good part of a drive thinking up the ways in which a crossover with my canon and Scooby Doo could make an effective case for me, I think it's seriously time you consider finding another place for me to hang out.

But NO HORROR GAMES. Sheesh. At least you don't like killing off your characters.

Unfortunately, the game I'm currently in is currently heavily reliant on this "slice of life" and rapidly running out of the very same. It's meant to have a mystery element, but my typist has yet to be informed of the results of my last investigation.

[wright_idea]

Sorry to hear that. I could always forward you the new one, see if it's up your alley? I guess it's supposed to be loosely based on one of those Japanese cartoons.

Anime, Wright, but I digress. Your typist already has a game in mind?

[wright_idea]

Should it niggle at me this much he knew the term for that?

Yeah, she's kind of getting talked into this game. Has a couple of buddies who are running it.

...

An intriguing premise, but unfortunately my typist is deeply concerned by the level of interpersonal strife that might occur on their side of the fourth wall. A pity.

[wright_idea]

Eh? Wait, this is probably something I shouldn't pry too much into, right?

Her exact inner monologue was, "Holy hell, that sounds like a potential out-of-character political tinderbox."

[wright_idea]

Guess we'll see for sure or not.

Really, it's good to know that anyone is giving any consideration to political matters in these games. The one I'm currently in suffers from the fact that the NPCs are incapable of experiencing or remembering evidence of the supernatural aspects of the setting, and yet there are far too many of us for such matters as the lack of a criminal justice system equipped to deal with us to go unaddressed. In my own typist's words, "If you're going to have a Masquerade, you need the..." [Edgeworth pauses to clear his throat.] "...World of Darkness to go with it."

Before you ask, yes, I have been attempting to address the concern in question, but people willing to contribute to resolving the obstacles to implementing such a system are in short supply, as are highly intelligent people in general. Furthermore, aside from a short-lived appearance by another, rather inactive Wright, I've been the only lawyer of any sort there.

[wright_idea]

...to be fair, we're USUALLY the only lawyers in any given game, Edgeworth.

What an incredibly lonely experience, now that I say it aloud...

[truthsnomiracle]

While that might be the case, it would be far less stressful in a game where NPCs are fully capable of filling the void, even if not to the degree that you could.
