What an exciting week!

In light of all the discussion, Adstringendum, let's chat- who would you trust to nominate as ombudsman?

Fewer murders and kidnappings would be nice. [deceptively light]

There are some dangerous elements from other worlds who I believe merit watching. Madara was responsible for the mind control and kidnappings, and there is a demon named Naraku who is reportedly up to no good.

But I believe what is mostly lacking here is not a strong police force, but basic necessities. Power and running water, for one thing. And while many people maintain their own gardens, there are many forced to scavenge who go hungry. Community gardens, or a standardized bartering system where people can sell extra foodstuffs for services and other supplies, would also go a long way to improving everyone's quality of life. A well-fed population is a much more peaceful population.

And laws? What would you like to see?

I am still fairly new here; I cannot judge what laws are necessary here. I think that should be a matter of public discussion and mutual consensus.

Would you let the police force put them into place, without that public consensus?

That would be no better than a military dictatorship.

You approve of dictatorships, or my answer was satisfactory?

Your charming streak of intelligence and liberalism?

You flatter me. I merely relate opinions based on my experience with my own government.

Which wasn't positive, I take it?

[soft laugh]

There is a reason I led the effort to overthrow it.

All right.

I was thinking that the position should be non-permanent. Four months, maybe six.

Not everybody seems as keen on the idea as you are. Doesn't that concern you?

The ones speaking up against it aren't precisely neutral parties. Unohana supports the idea, and she's one of the leading parties on the police force, among other voices.

Unohana's involved? [Well then.]


How would subsequent ombuds...men... be selected?

We'll discuss that at length, I'd imagine. We may hold an election for the position the first time, but I'm not sure that anyone else has stepped forwards.
