Fourth Night [Action/Voice, Backdated to April 12th]

[Action]

[Naoya and Dilandau are safely behind bars in the tunnels, secured and locked away with no weapons.   And right now he made sure to take every key to the prisons and secure the entrance with a padlock of his own.  It should be strong enough to hold anyone attempting to break them out for now. 

First thing's first.  He needs to track down the woman named Yuzu that Naoya spoke to.  She did not sympathize with him, but knows of him and his weapon system.  Possessing Dilandau's COMP, he will actively seek her out for questioning and follow up on any leads he can.]

[Voice]

[After speaking with Yuzu and following up where the leads take him, Batman will reluctantly open a voice communication.  Someone has to make the announcement.   He's not much of a talker and he's never been good with people.  But it needs to be done.]

Attention, citizens of Luceti.  Dilandau and Naoya have been detained in the murder of Kohaku, a fellow citizen of Luceti.   They will remain in custody until such a time that the people of this village agree on a just punishment or until they are properly tried by a court of law.   That is all.

That's right -- I'm a first-class detective from the Galaxy Police, if that means anything here.

[He'll hold it up to the frame. A small smirk may or may not be on his face.]

I went to check if you were okay when I heard the commotion. I located the device and took it with me to perform testing.

[These are their stories.]

Hnn... [Thrall ponders what Batman just told him, part speaking to him, part thinking out loud.] The problem with adapting that system to Luceti lies in the fact that there are no laws, nor systems to place them. Yet... It's not impossible if we assume that some crimes are universal. Murder, theft, and the like. I think Luceti as a whole, or at least by a great majority, can agree on that.

Gathering a jury from citizens of Luceti would be relatively simple. But lawyers and a judge would be more complicated, especially with no way to verify their qualifications. Still... I'd like to find a way to make a system similar to the one you described work. Perhaps there are some people that could be agreed on to serve in the positions.

So you have it! How does it hold up? Do I need to adjust anything?

Yes, they've been interrogated.

[...Not in the tradtional way. The Batman way.]

Good to know. Did anyone manage to get a motive or anything out of them?

[identity profile] cowledcrusader.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure there would be if they are sought out.

Dilandau agreed to kill Kohaku in exchange for power from Naoya. Naoya has made a previous attempt on Kohaku's life, but she had managed to escape.

Naoya's psychological profile suggests dangerous levels of psychosis and sociopathy. Dilandau suffers from a similiar level of troubled behavior, but has less self-control and is less cunning.

Its weight is excellent and its durability is satisfactory. I'd like that you increase the frequency of the sound by about 15 percent and its volume level by 10 percent.

I can return the prototype, if you so require.

It wasn't. Things just got worse. Demons started popping up all over, the Shomonkai spread more COMPs around, and regular people started to fight each other. Naoya was right in the middle of everything. He kept 'helping' us - giving us the COMPs, writing a program that told the future, but he still planned for us to get caught up in everything from the start.

So the government didn't intervene and let the city tear itself apart. What was he hoping to gain from all of these demons being summoned?

[identity profile] pinkribbons.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
He wanted to make Hero a demon overlord.

[and she's completely serious]

[...That doesn't make sense. At all. Why... why would he want to do... Wait. His target was an angel here. And he deals with demons on a regular basis. Is he dealing with an agent of Hell itself? Couldn't be.]

...Why? What was so special about your friend that made Naoya target him for that?

[identity profile] pinkribbons.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. But somehow, it had to be Hero. There are a bunch of demons with the name 'Bel' and they're fighting to see who gets to be king... one of them attacked us, and when Hero beat him he got his power. But Naoya seemed to know that was going to happen.

[Right now, that's the best Molly can do. And she has something serious to tell him.]

... Uh. Bats?

[ ... ]

...But nobody else was... detained for committing a crime in this world before, right?. [Not as far as she knows, at least. And this, combined with the news about what happened to the Remnants as well as something else she noticed... well, it bothers her, to say the least.]

I see ... [Keeping this in mind. She'll definitely need to get some non-network journals to short-hand some makeshift records on these two.] Is there something special about Kohaku, or was Naoya fixated on killing her for some other reason?

[Voice]

[identity profile] floralprophecy.livejournal.com 2010-04-15 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
.. would there be anyone here who could help them with that then? To counsel them perhaps?

[He strongly believes in second chances, most of the time anyway.]

I'm sure I can do that, and if you could return the original that would be great. Thank you.

Is there anything else you want to be made? I'll be out of the clinic soon, so I'll need work to keep me busy when I'm back to full strength.

[You're the best, Batman. \o/ She's kind of quiet for a moment, not really sure how to bring this up and how Batman will react to it.]

My teacher... Senel? He left.

Sounds like he had plenty of experience dealing with these demons directly. What happened to Hero? Did he become the Overlord like Naoya desired, or did he resist?

Kohaku claims she is an angel. Given the population of demons, vampires, and other supernatural creatures in this town, I see no reason to disbelieve that claim.

[identity profile] pinkribbons.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well... he hadn't decided what to do yet.

There is a man referred to as "the Medic" who once committed murder by vivisection of another citizen named Klonoa. The Medic was detained by certain members of the Blue Rogues and held in a cell similar to the ones Dilandau and Naoya are in.

He was eventually released. He currently resides in the village.
