[Antoine is still adjusting to his human body, which is evident as he keeps rubbing his cheek while he makes this video. Also, there's a Bunnelby on hanging off his arm.]

Seeing as I've yet to wake up from zis nightmare, I must be admitting my stay here will be longer zan expected. But I will be getting some answers! And I'll be needing your help to do so, especially from zose who have been here for some time.

I am aware zere ees some sort of law force here, Officer Jenny, but what else? Are zere jails and prisons? Are zere elected officials to dole out ze laws? Presidents, royalty, or leaders of ze land?

And most importantly... HOW DO YOU TURN OFF ZAT INFERNAL MUSIC?! My ears are somehow smaller now but zey still hear zis nonsense!

[Action]

[Near the local Gym, Antoine has decided to vigorously train his 'mon the best way he knows how. Bunnelby and Pachirisu are content to sit and watch, as Antoine holds up a big stick and swings it like one would do with a sword.]

Now, like zat, just like zat!

[Honedge, the floating ghost sword, then mimics his master's actions, swish-swish!]

Hmmm... a little slow, but we shall work on eet. Now, again! From ze top!

As far as I'm aware, there's no real government to speak of, no. I believe there are jails, but from what I understand it's extremely unusual for anyone to be locked up for an extended period of time. What law enforcement there is seems stretched rather thin, in any case.

And unfortunately, you'll simply have to learn to ignore the music.

Zis ees something close to anarchy! How can any world function like zis?

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

To be perfectly honest, I've no idea.

*he's often wondered the same, frankly*

Re: Video

[mon_dieu]

What bothers me ees how much peace zere's been, which I know sounds awful, but...

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I suspect it might have something to do with the attitudes of the people native to this world. That is, that their criminals aren't any more creative in their thinking than anyone else here...

No government. No political structure. No child protective services. Everybody gets their own army of killer slave animals. I swear a saw a B-movie just like this once. The fat ones'll get eaten first.

The music...eh, a sharp spike to the eardrum'll shut it up.

And everything else.

But no more terrible music!

Audio

[mon_dieu]

Ze sense of humor you humans have ees deplorable.

But what I don't understand eef zat zis has been ze way for years, how ees all still so peaceful?

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

Who's joking?

Dunno. Maybe you should try committing some crime, see what happens.

Audio

[mon_dieu]

Absolutely not. I will not infringe upon my morals just because zis place ees, how you say, bananas.

Audio

[thedifferencebetween]

Then I guess you just gotta keep wondering.

[toothaches]

_{[Maurice is going to try very hard not to geek out over Antoine's accent. He's going to try.]}

Nightmare? This place is a dream come true!

[Video]

[mon_dieu]

Maybe for children, or ze criminally insane.

[Video]

[toothaches]

_{[His smile disappears.]}

That's a little harsh, aint it?

[Video]

[mon_dieu]

Zere ees no government, barely any law enforcement, hardly any proper schooling, a kidnapping size zat will no doubt mark eetself in history, animals are trained to beat each other senseless een order to move forward een ze world, MY FAMILY SWORD EES POSSESSED BY A GHOST, AND MY ENTIRE BODY CHANGED SPECIES.

... I am thinking I am allowed to be a tad upset with ze way things are.

[Video]

[toothaches]

_{[Maurice leans away from his gear as Antoine's volume grows. Yikes!]}

Okay, okay! I'm sorry about your, uh, ghost sword, dude. Yeah, I haven't actually seen any cops since I showed up but...I haven't felt like I needed any.

How long have you been here?

[samsa]

You've probably already heard, but the law enforcement here is...

[IS...]

...different from most places. Usually if people do anything to get themselves in jail, they're either not there for very long, or can do community service in the place of jail time.

As far as I know, the music is always going to be there. It has been since I got here.

[mon_dieu]

But how can such a system work? A proper government needs to be een place een order to establish laws and change zem when necessary! And to keep ze economy een balance! And taxes!

AND WHY EES EVERYONE SO CALM ABOUT ZIS?!

[samsa]

A-ah, well...there isn't much we can do about it? People don't really like to talk about anything around here...and the people who have always lived here are completely set in their ways.

[And don't even get started about the economy with things like Meowth that can just make money.]

It works, but...I don't know how.

[mon_dieu]

I must find zis out! Zis place ees impossible een every possible way, and I will not rest until I solve all ze mysteries!

[samsa]

Good luck. I've been trying to do the same thing since I got here. The most any books you find will do is tell you about Pokemon, honestly.

[video]

[rocketralph]

Can one hundred percent confirm that there are jails. And they're cramped.

[video]

[mon_dieu]

I suppose zat ees of some comfort... But are zere trials? What about sentencing? Judges, juries, lawyers, prosecutors?

[video]

[rocketralph]

_{[Ralph taps his chin thoughtfully.]}

We had a president there for a little while.

[video]

[mon_dieu]

... What.

[Must. Not. Facepalm. Or weep uncontrollably.]

[video]

[rocketralph]

Yeah. I worked for 'em, actually. So I guess that makes me an ex-government employee.

_{[Ralph, leave this sad coyote man alone.]}
