Good afternoon. My name is Saki Asami, for those I haven't spoken with before.

I am going to make this short and to the point: there are a lot of legitimate reasons for people to keep things about themselves hidden. They could be protecting themselves. They could be protecting someone else. They might not want to start a conflict. They might have some traumatic memories in their past that they don't want dragged out.

I'm not here to ask what anyone's history is. It's not my place to do that. It's not anyone's place to do that.

My point, and the reason I got on the network, is to ask everyone to stop being foolish with asking personal questions on the network. We don't have a lot of privacy as it is, with the administrators watching our every move. Surveys and questionnaires are only going to serve to cause conflict within our own ranks. There's enough of that here already, and we don't need more of it.

Are things getting that out of hand?

Yes. Between someone wanting to document the powers of every single person in the tower, which anyone could agree is naive at best, and someone else...well.

They intended their questionnaire for a single group of people, but worded it in a way that it couldn't help but catch everyone else's attention.

I'm not in that second group, but the one person here specifically from my home timeline, so to speak, has a close connection with someone in it. I don't want her getting hurt just because someone else couldn't exercise discretion.

[ SIGHING INTERNALLY. Yes, she's seen those recent entries. ]

I have to agree with everything you said here.

It's ridiculous, really, and it shows a stunning lack of respect for everyone else that's here.

[ It takes her a minute to answer back, since she's looking at the posts Saki was talking about. Holy Grail War...? Seeing Lancer's name in the post gets her a bit curious and worried as well. She would look into it later. She sighs a bit. ]

I see. This is starting to get messy... Sharing information is fine to an extent, but something like that shouldn't be broadcasted over the network.

[Normally this is the part where she makes some smartass remark, but...she can understand this a little. Since they're both magical girls.]

Oi. Take your own advice and watch how much you say on here. You're just gonna wind up encouraging people to try and stick their nose into your business otherwise.

While I want everyone to work together, I think asking people to give up this kind of information is kind of dangerous, because not everyone is working together necessary...

*And he'll just turn on the video while he types up a reply to Edgeworth down there. Saki will be able to see him typing - slowly, with only the index and middle fingers on each hand - as he speaks.*

Indeed...but wouldn't this be better directed at the one who made this attempt?

Exactly. It's one thing to share information among a group of people in person. But we have a means of communication that should, theoretically, be more private than the network now, what with the new mailroom they went to the trouble of putting in with the other new floors. There's no reason they can't use that.

I've tried talking with them both. I think I would have better luck talking to a wall than reasoning with either of them. My point was to discourage anyone else.

That's it exactly, Kazumi.

...please be careful. I don't want you to get caught in any crossfire from this.

If anyone tries, they won't get very far. People from our world? That's one thing. But people from others? I don't think they could possibly understand. Nor do I want to explain. It's none of their business.

Mm. I... I'm trying to stay out of it. Saber wants me to stay out of it as well.

I just hope nothing serious comes out of it...

She's right. I don't know all of the details, and I'm not going to ask her, but the entire situation sounds very serious and very dangerous. The person attempting to organize them isn't listening to reason, either.

I hope that nothing serious comes of it, but if it does, trust Saber to handle it. She knows the situation better than we do and is far better equipped to do so.

I know a little of it, but mostly that it's supposed to be secret from others, as well as how most of them are enemies of each other.

[She nods, but looks pretty glum about it]

Yeah... it just. I feel really helpless being told not to help my friends if trouble comes up.

Now that we have mailboxes, I would have hoped they used them as a way to do their survey. Word of mouth could have worked better than this.

I think watching the arguments in the conversations there would be enough for most...

*Give him a second he's watching posts crop up on the network like crazy.*

...This is...out of hand.

Of course not. There are some things you can't understand unless you've experienced it yourself.

[Like placing all of your hopes in a single prayer just to lose it all. She scoffs.]

People like that just pretend that they'll understand you for the sake of satisfying their own curiosity, y'know.
