[ it's go time, johto. have a super hip and cool teenager having a rad housepa- ... oh wait never mind she's studying. what a rebel. yeah, kagami's sitting at her desk in her room at the breeding center with piles of textbooks around. she's got science textbooks, math textbooks, economics, you name it, she's probably got it.

at the moment, she's reading a law textbook... although, it's rather thin for a supposed textbook, more magazine-sized really. huh, she's looking rather pissed for someone reading about their planned college major. ]

All crimes get the same punishment?! What kind of law system do they have here?! Come on, even the biology textbooks are only about pokemon. [ facepalm time! ] Jeez,  If this is all I've got, there's no chance I'm going to be able to review anything.

[ anybody in the breeding center might notice that after a busy day of studying, kagami's conked out asleep at her desk. someone should probably go wake her up ]

Hikikomori.

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Wha-?! How is it hikikomori behavior to try to study?

video.

[reveiller]

Oh, I don't know. Some of the concepts might be easier to understand if put into a pokemon context.

video.

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

In some cases, but I doubt pokemon biology is going to help me with university courses.

[superrising.livejournal.com]

... Is that seriously their law book?

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ kagami holds up the book. the title "JOHTO LAW AND YOU" is in ridiculously bright green, and there's a little illustration of a pikachu with an eyepatch, in handcuffs, shrugging to the front ]

One of them, but out of the ones I found in the department store, this is actually the most in-depth.

video!

[seikaprez.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't expect anything less, considering that Johto practically revolves around Pokemon.

video!

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

It's almost unhealthy that they're so obsessed with Pokemon.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

They have a weird law system, that's what. Any half-wit would know that murder should be punished more than...I dunno, shoplifting?

Geez.

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Definitely! And how can they just punish attempted murderers with a week of menial labor? That's the least threatening punishment ever! If that's all they're going to do, they might as well just give them a time-out!

video;

[tensai]

The same punishment? Really?

[ponders this for a bit]

So if I stole candy from a baby, then the punishment would be the same if I kidnapped a different baby?

[ ... marui what do you exactly do in your free time when you're not playing tennis. have a weird look for a second ]

Um. If you get caught, then yeah, probably.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ Have some really annoyed engrish, Kagami! ]

Argh! I know right! Some guy nearly kills a man and I skip out on work to visit a hospitalized friend, right? We both get a two week warrant for our arrest! This place has the dumbest laws I've ever heard!! [ SO MUCH WRATH. ]

video;

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Seriously? That's so idiotic! How can they arrest you for leaving work because you have an actual reason? This place is unbelievable!

[ let's take all the yelling and make one big sound bomb ]

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

What is the punishment for breaking the law?

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ give her a second as she looks down into the book and have the wryest voice ever]

One week of manual labor for the first infraction, two weeks for the second, and so on. Yeah, that'll work.

[ video ]

[breakthroughit.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't be surprised. The fact you got any sort of textbooks at all is sorta surprisin' to me, actually.

Any of them worth buyin', would ya say?

[ video ]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Really, the only detailed books are about pokemon. All the other textbooks are at the most, elementary school level.

video;

[parkour]

Not surprising for a place where the warrants only last about two weeks before being completely forgotten.

video;

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Jeez, I'm surprised the crime rate around here isn't higher if the only thing a person needs to do is hide out for a couple of weeks.

[BEEP BOP BOOP, walking past Kagami's room and catching that her face is snoozing into that pile of books. He'll just poke his head in the door.]

...Kagami-san?

[ brb kagami's imitating a snorlax now in her natural habitat of school supplies. please call again later ]

[bywiseguidance.livejournal.com]

You could ask for anyone with experience in law enforcement for their input.

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

W-Well, I would, but I uh, I don't really have any specific questions to ask... [ EMBARRASSED BLUSH ]

[video]

[crimsondirge]

I've been having the same problem. All the texts revolve around Pokémon, even when it would make more sense to expand their knowledge based. It seems to be a very monofocused society.

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Everything's about pokemon around here. If I didn't know this was a video game, I'd say this level of obsession feels like it'd belong in a cult.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

You mean there's any law system that doesn't suck?

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean there aren't any perfect law systems, but there are definitely ones that are better than this.

[nodoubleteam.livejournal.com]

Ah. It's always nice to see such beautiful equality. [ he sounds incredibly serious... and slightly sarcastic. what amazing laws, johto. ]

video;

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ kagami'll take that slight sarcasm and multiply it by thousand ]

Of course, I'm thrilled to bits that I've managed to experience such a utopian example of equality.

[Video]

[redbelltolls.livejournal.com]

What is the punishment, and who hands it out?

[Video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Weeks of manual labor and the police, if they manage to catch the criminal.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

That's depressingly thin for a law textbook, isn't it?

[video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ sighing as she flips through it ]

What makes it even sadder is that this was one of the larger books, and that one of the thicker books was a history on pokemon arrests.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Are you... studying? [ he sounds mildly horrified. ]

( video )

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

[ she gives him a weird look at that tone ]

Uh. Yeah...?

[stare.]

[staaare.]

[staaaaaaaaare.]

They actually got textbooks in Johto?!

[Video]

[usedgrowl.livejournal.com]

Um, they're pretty bad, but yeah, there are textbooks in Johto. Is that really that big of a surprise?
