Ginoza: Kogami ran away because of your poor supervision. When we find him, shoot him on the spot.
Akane: But--
Ginoza: Shoot him on the spot.
Kogami: *calls in* I'm in danger and I need backup.
Ginoza: SEND HELP I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO FIND HIM AND SEND. HIM. HELP.
She came on a small errand, coming to the forest surrounding their home. She needed to get something they didn’t have in the garden. It wasn’t like Chise minded, it was good to get out of the house once in awhile. With Elias out and about, looking into the new portal gossip, she busied herself with her studies. Someone needed medicine, so she trekked out with Ruth at her side.
While wandering through, however, she spots someone from afar. Now that was definitely concerning! No one had come this far before, unless …. oh dear! It hits her, and the realization makes her frown.
“Hello!” She calls, but the other is just too far away. Turning toward her familiar, there is a simple exchange between the two and she hopes ‘pon his back and they race after the other. Looked like some of the faeries were being mischievous with the humans once again.
Chise –– who looks like she’s riding on air(unless the woman possessed a strong sight to see fae and other folk), calls out toward the other once again. “Hey you! W…..wait up!”
Turning to the source of the voice, what Akane saw made her take a step back. A girl, suspended in the air, appeared to be flying towards her. She knew the portals alone were a phenomenon technology couldn’t explain, so she could hardly expect a scientific explanation now, but a part of her still sought for a logical explanation upon seeing something that belonged in a fairy tale.
“How-- How are you doing that?” She may be an Inspector now, and hardened over the course of many cases, but the magical scene brought an awe to her eyes that made her forget all caution. If an old coworker were here, he may even chide her, but fortunate for her the stranger was here to help and not harm.

Sighing, the rosette glanced around the corner of a building, Mog pulled close to her chest as a sign of nervousness while doing so. This place reminded her a lot of Academia with all of the technology that was around. Because of this though, caused some discomfort to form inside of Serah. “Mog, what should we do?” Unfortunately though, it appeared as though the Moogle had fallen asleep, even with all of the noise.
The strangely dressed young woman and her strange animal caught Akane’s eye. On a normal day, she might have thought the girl was wearing a holo-cosplay, but since the start of the portal incident she’d become good at identifying the cosplayers from the visitors. The visitors usually had a lost look in their eyes.
“Are you new here?” The Inspector greeted her as she approached. “I may be able to answer the questions you have.”
She realized her mistake the moment the helmet was removed to reveal a woman behind the suit. “I apologize, I didn’t realize, Miss--” Akane quickly amended. Still, for anyone to be so heavily suited...what kind of world could she have come from?
“Yes, we’ve been keeping close watch on the gate. Threatening individuals have come through in the past, so we don’t allow weapons and we conduct a psychological scan of all visitors to ensure the public’s safety. Would you be willing to abide by our laws during your visit?”
❝ ⁷⁷⁴ ▬ Perhaps it was because of how much time he spent around his little detective and the police force, but he was probably much more relaxed in a police car than most people ought to. Though maybe he could credit it to the amiable face of the young woman that was driving the car right now. Being taken in by a lending hand in an unfamiliar world would ease anyone’s nerves, he’d like to believe.
“I’m Nanase, Yoshi - you can just call me Nanashi though, miss officer!” His attention peeled away from the window and turned towards the inspector with his own smile. “Actually, out of all the worlds that I’ve been to, I think this world is the most similar to my own so far.” He answered while his mind reeling towards connecting observations together. “There’s still a lot of a differences but in my world, I’d probably be the one registering you within the citizen registry for example.”
“You’re the first to say that. I often hear that other worlds don’t have anything like a citizen registry, so they find the procedures here rather strange.” Some were even resistant, so Akane was relieved Nanashi had no objections and was even in charge of a similar system. “What kind of job did you have in your--”
“Inspector Tsunemori, we have a situation.” A voice from headquarters cut in over the speakers. It went on to relay an urgent message, a car jacking by a man who had twice ignored warnings to get treatment for his Psycho Pass. He’d been laying various holos over the vehicle, disguising its true build to avert police eyes. Its last reported location-- close to their coordinates.
“I have a guest with me. No, it’s not urgent...yes, I’ll be there.” Akane glanced into the rearview mirror. “I’m sorry, Nanase-san. It looks like we’ll have to make a detour first.” The sirens of the car flashed on and she accelerated forward.
Hello all, sorry for my absence here. With finals over with I want to slowly easy back into the muse. Thank you for being patient with replies.
I’m watching the new Ace Attorney anime and thinking that I need a thread where Akane wanders into the AA universe and is deeply fascinated with observing their justice system and even taking down notes.
“I see. So this is how people implemented courts in the pre-Sibyl days.”
No Akane, no.

A quaint scene greeted Akane when she stepped through the portal. No traffic or skyscrapers in sight, the grass beneath her feet felt real, too, and not the sort of holo illuminations that made up some areas of the metropolis she was raised in. Akane stepped forward, taking in the greenery when something flitted by, catching her eye. “Eh - Ehhh?” Before she could get a better look, the creature was gone. She trotted into the woods in pursuit, deeper and deeper until the trees swirled around her and she lost sense of direction.
“I thought I came this way...?”
@abelovedfuture
“So, what’s your name?” Akane struck up conversation as she turned onto the highway, the city whizzing past them as she drove towards MWPSB headquarters with yet another case of unregistered persons to document. This young man seemed cheerful and far from the threatening type when she had explained to him the procedure, but Sibyl mandated that all visitors be registered, no exceptions.
“I’m sure the process won’t take long. Your Psycho-Pass is in good shape. You must find this world much different from yours.”
@xmortifera
“Excuse me, sir. My name is Akane Tsunemori and I’m from the Bureau of Public Safety. Our scanners detect that you are an unregistered visitor. As a safety precaution, I’ll have to ask you to remove your helmet and allow us to check you for weapons.” Saying this, Akane displayed her her Inspector badge to the stranger who she assumed to be a man.
“Hey– you don’t look like you’re from the West District…. Or No.6 for that matter” Shion the ever observant was hanging around in West District this morning trying to pull together the people from both very different places into one community. That placed him not too far from a pillar of light he had not yet had the chance to tumble into.
“That’s right. I’m here on investigation from...another country, you could say.” Already Akane was attracting glances only moments after walking through the portal. She’d noticed right away her neatly-pressed suit stood out against the attire of the less fortunate inhabits in the area. These dank streets gave off a distinct feeling of foreboding, an unease that citizens back home never would have experienced. So this was how people lived without the safety net that was Sibyl. “Is there an official in charge of this place I can speak with?”
I need to get her muse going again so here’s a starter call for Akane! Capping at 4 because I’ve been spread thin. I’ll probably drop an IM to see which world you prefer.
If anyone wants their muses to be recruited as an Inspector/Enforcer in Akane’s world for some detective work, I’d be up to discuss that too. Let’s say the Sibyl system needs extra hands and has to make exceptions if they want to maintain order with all this world-traveling chaos.
A Bloody Night
Page didn’t say another word as he was taken away without resistance. Rain just stood back and let it happen, unable to even look his older brother. While he did hear the rather rude comment from Shimotsuki that made his blood boil, but he was in no mood to verbally lash out against the Inspector.
That night he could barely sleep, softly crying as he curled up and questioned why this was happening. When he finally did drift off, his nightmares kept waking him. If he wasn’t reliving his sister’s murder, he was seeing Page get blown to bits by a dominator.
When morning did come he did his best to wash up and look decently well rested, but he chose to avoid coffee since that was just one more thing that reminded him of Page. When Akane spoke to him, he calmly listened, sighing as he considered his options.
“Alone it is then…” His loyalty wasn’t an issue, but this would be testing the limits of how well he could handle controlling his own emotions. “Just let me get him some coffee first. He’s unbelievably cranky without it.”
“That’s fine.”
He knew his brother best. Given Page’s silence the night before, Akane didn’t think he was about to start revealing his motives to her. No doubt Sibyl’s computerized minds had whirled and come to the same conclusion. How taxing the ordeal would be on Rain was not a consideration when weighed against the optimal outcome. For a system capable of understanding human emotion at the deepest level, it could be quite cold.
“Let us know if you need anything else. We’ll be outside.”
A Bloody Night
“Alright…” That was an order he had no problem following. Once he got to his feet, he wiped his tears away and kindly took her away from the scene to try and calm her down. He could only imagine what her psycho pass was currently like, but hopefully she would be able to recover from it with therapy.
Damn it Page…What the hell have you been thinking?
“Really? Cause last I checked I have the right to remain silent. Thankfully aside from his bitter sarcasm Page showed no resistance. He allowed himself to be hand cuffed and patted down, saying goodbye to his knife belt and gun holsters with a soft sigh.
“If I’m going to die, just make sure it’s not in front of my brother. That’s all I ask.”
Akane was relieved to see the older brother cooperate. If he had tried to run, she would have had a difficult choice to make, and facing Rain afterwards would not have been easy.
“You sound like you care for him. But then why commit these crimes?” She didn’t think he’d answer, but she wondered nevertheless. The rest of the division soon rushed in on the scene, but there was little left to do except transport Page Estheim back for questioning. Before the Enforcers and Inspectors split up into their respective cars, she caught Shimotsuki muttering under her breath about how it wasn’t surprising that bad blood ran in the family and she saw a shadow cross Ginoza’s eyes.
The next day, Akane made her way over to Rain. They’d all had a long night and their office was filled with a weary silence offset only by the tapping of fingers as they keyed in their reports, now joined by the sound of her voice.
"We’ll be questioning your brother later this morning. I spoke to Chief Kasei earlier and she’s given you two choices. You may join us for the questioning or you may speak to him alone, on the condition that we’ll be recording and listening in on the conversation.” For security reasons, purportedly. Although Akane did not suspect Rain of colluding with his brother nor did she have cause to doubt that he would, not everyone felt the same.
Akane continued, her voice tightening as she delivered the message. “Chief Kasei thinks that out of all of us, you might be in the best position to get answers from him and she...wants to see your loyalty. She has even suggested that you pretend to side with him if necessary.”
Sibyl was not-so-subtly pushing him towards the one on one. They wanted answers as to how Page had been escaping detection on his crime spree, and if Page was more willing to open up to his brother, they would try to use Rain to that means. It was almost cruel, really.
A Bloody Night
“I’m sorry Inspector but I can not shoot my brother!” The consequences of not following orders currently didn’t matter to him. All he could see was his twin exploding into a mess of blood and gore, and now years later Page was going to have the same fate…
Thankfully Page was able to see reason. With his little brother breaking down in front of him, he could only sigh as he tossed aside the knife and let the woman go without a second thought. No escape plan in sight though, and if he dared to even try and make a run for it he would likely be shot and done for.
Sorry Isaac…Looks like I’m getting arrested tonight, or dying.
With a deep sigh he raised his hands above his head in surrender, glaring at the brunette before his eyes softened once he glanced back at Rain.
I did all of this for your sake little brother. It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this.
She knew it had to be difficult for him. This was Rain who although he tried to hide it, looked uncomfortable at the sight of carnage and a Dominator shifting into Lethal mode. Who when given a day off, would request to see his family always and above all else. His love for his family had not escaped Akane’s notice. But it didn’t change that they were in the middle of an arrest and that she relied on him. “Then please, Estheim-san, look after the woman.”
“I think you owe him some answers,” she said to the elder Estheim this time. Pulling out a pair handcuffs, she prepared to cuff his hands behind him. She would make the case to Sibyl that it would benefit the system to know how he’d been escaping detection. As for his life...it rested in Sibyl’s hands. Perhaps after questioning, they would learn why he chose to walk this bloody path. It may not change the outcome, or fix what was broken tonight, but maybe it would give Rain some closure. Akane could only hope so.
I think a lot of muns I was threading with have since dropped so I’m going to have to dig through and see who are still around that I owe. I’m not quite in the place to start up new threads right now, but hope to pick up more activity when the semester ends. At least, that’s my plan. *fingers crossed*
A Bloody Night
A hostage?
Rain certainly didn’t like the sound of that do to his own past. Was this the reason for his stomach being in so many knots tonight? With a deep breath, he nodded at the orders. Once he called in to the other team to report the situation, he tightly gripped his Dominator and closely followed behind the brunette.
Making as little sound as possible the two of them slowly went deeper into the dark abandoned building. With his heart pounding the young enforcer did his best to remain calm while leaving no corner unsearched while following the trail of blood.
Sure enough their wanted murdering hacker was held up in a corner with an unknown young woman as a hostage. Poor girl had probably just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now was being used as a meat shield while a knife was held to her throat. However it wasn’t enough to hide the man’s disgustingly high psycho pass, as seen by his Dominator transforming into lethal eliminator mode.
“Dear god it can’t be…” With his hands now trembling, Rain collapsed to his knees in a fit of sobs without any further warning.
“Sorry little brother. You were the last person I wanted to find out about this…”
A young girl held by a man with a knife at her throat. It was a chilling scene to anyone, certainly to Akane who had watched her friend die in such a gruesome manner, and Rain? It wasn’t until the other man spoke that Akane could begin to see the resemblance, to understand why her colleague had collapsed to the floor at a crucial moment when they could not afford to lower their guard.
In times of shock, habit forced her arms to move, raising the Dominator to read in his skyrocketing Crime Coefficient as her fingers closed in on the trigger. But she held back, seeing that it would only take a slight move for him to force the hostage to take the shot.
“This is the MWPSB! Drop your weapon and surrender for questioning! If you harm her, we won’t hesitate to take lethal action!” Sibyl had judged, and Akane, too. Even if he was Rain’s brother, she could not excuse his crimes, but perhaps a compromise could be made and lives spared tonight.
“Rain Estheim! Remember your duty to the public as an Enforcer!”
