To whom it may concern,

The following is the written record of my investigation into these troubling events we’ve found ourselves confronting.

This includes several relevant chatlogs (although the relevance of some may be questionable, we erred on the side of including as much as was necessary) from several Discord servers, multiple images, and several audio recordings that provide evidence that might help us make sense of the mess.

Most of this evidence was helpfully gathered by my younger brother Karl Lightman, so thanks go to him that we even have some leads on this case.

Signed,

Senior Detective X. Lightman

NoTalkMeIAngy: It’s SEVEN A.M. Ace.

AceSpades: Here is a fun idea.

AceSpades: What is your favorite anime, everyone?

NoTalkMeIAngy: what kind of question is THAT?

ThrowingAwayMyShot: Steven Universe?

AceSpades: That is not an anime.

ThrowingAwayMyShot: Thenceforth, I do refuse to participate in this trivium.

terminallyContagious: is ‘thenceforth’ even a word?

ThrowingAwayMyShot: That, my wonderfully degenerate friend, is something you must find out for yourself.

ThrowingAwayMyShot: >;)

AceSpades: This is why no one likes you, Jo.

StarShatters: no let him explain himself

terminallyContagious: It’s produced in Denmark, and is dubbed to wide release elsewhere. The voice actors on it mostly do anime dubbing anyway, and it stylistically and tropewise resembles most shonen anime.

NoTalkMeIAngy: WORST take I have ever seen let me go die rq

terminallyContagious: @AceSpades you haven’t contributed to the discussion you started.

AceSpades: Neither has @DetectiveProfessorK.
