"Since you insist on continuing with your plans to revive the franchise, my clients have prepared a list of demands. They know very well that you will not legally be allowed to proceed unless they drop their suit against you, and they are not afraid to prolong that for years if you are unwilling to cooperate." The speaker, a dark haired woman in a perfectly tailored black suit, adjusted her glasses and eyed the assembled executives. "It would be in everyone's best interests if you heard them out and we could open negotiations."

"Negotiations?" One of the executives, a blonde man who looked to be in his mid thirties, asked in outrage. "This sounds more like blackmail than negotiations."

"Don't be stupid, Nezumi." One of his colleagues, a sensible looking woman seated opposite him, replied. "This is our best chance, and you know it. The ratings for the last season's finale were sky high, it would be ridiculous not to at least pretend to ride that wave. Let's hear them out."

"Ms. Laurent is right." The man at the head of the table, who seemed to be in charge of the proceedings, asserted. The sensible woman smirked and the blonde sighed. "The best way forward is to cooperate, at least for now. Ms. Nakamura, go ahead. Let's hear the demands."

The lawyer opened the letter she was holding and adjusted her glasses again. "The demands are as follows. First, adapt the characterization process to be reversible."

"Impossible." Nezumi sneered.

The lawyer ignored him. "Second, death must not be permanent for any member of the cast."

"How exactly do they expect us to learn to resurrect the dead?" Ms. Laurent murmured worriedly.

Ms. Nakamura flashed her an almost pitying smile and the tiniest of shrugs. "Third, that those involved get fair pay, benefits, and free counseling once the show is over."

"That is easily enough done." The man who seemed to be in charge replied.

"Fourth, no audience input on matters such as who is allowed to live, characterization details, or who should be involved in murders. Audience input is acceptable on less personal things such as the layout of the setting, non-murder related twists, and similar polls are still acceptable. Specific details are laid out in the document under the heading 'Audience Participation', I'll make sure your lawyers get it."

"Ugh, that's going to kill ratings." Another executive groaned

"Fifth, that one third of all profits from anything associated with the Danganronpa brand is diverted to the survivors of previous seasons and the participants in future seasons. This may include funds allocated to pay and benefits, so long as no more than half of the diverted profits are dedicated to it. This percentage will change as survivors from previous seasons age and die, based on how many of them remain compared to living participants of seasons to come. The details of that algorithm are also laid out in the document."

A previously silent executive with a ponytail and a slightly rumpled suit whistled. "That's a biggie. Accounting is not going to like that."

"Sixth, in regards to branded products, anything that specifically uses the likeness, name, title, or aesthetic of specific participants must be okayed by the participants in question. Merchandise using dead former participants must be okayed by survivors of the season or seasons they appeared in."

Everyone around the table shifted and looked at each other. "What about seasons where no one's left alive?" Someone finally asked.

"That…" The lawyer checked her notes. "Is open to negotiation. But I can already tell you the answer isn't going to be 'do whatever you like'."

Nezumi groaned. Most of the others traded worried glances.

The lawyer ignored this tension and continued. "Seventh, you will get consent from your cast post characterization. You may wipe their memory of the event afterward, but you must have documented consent from everyone."

There were a few shrugs. Compared to some of the other demands, this one was fairly minor.

"Eighth, in all official documentaries, retrospectives, and the Official Danganronpa Fan Experience, acknowledgement must be given to the exploitation of cast members. In the case of the latter, in addition to the exhibition change, there must be a monument constructed to the dead."

"That's not going to be popular…" Someone muttered. Once again, the lawyer ignored them.

"Ninth, the abduction of those chosen to be cast members must cease. They must be informed and given the opportunity to say their goodbyes and provided with free legal assistance to write a will, if they so choose."

"That one might actually *save* us some money." The man in the ponytail pointed out with a wry smile

"And finally, tenth, under no circumstances is any character ever to be made into an avatar of the audience or the studio. Other than the implantation of false memories, there absolutely cannot be any hypnosis or mind control of sentient beings. This does include robotic members of the cast, such as the much abused K1-B0 from the most recent season. Provisions are included for consensual masterminds who have not been put through the characterization process."

Nezumi swore under his breath. Everyone looked at each other for a long moment. Horror and defiance seemed to be the dominant mood, but Ms. Nakamura seemed unbothered by the obvious resistance. It took several minutes before the man in charge finally spoke. "Of course, you'll understand that we'll have to negotiate. Not all of these are even possible. We cannot resurrect the dead, for instance. Our legal team will be in contact to start the official negotiations."

The lawyer nodded, the hint of a smirk on her face. "Of course. I have printed out a copy of our full demands for you to pass on to them. As mentioned, the full and specific details of these demands is laid out." She removed a paperclipped stack of papers from her briefcase and placed it on the table. "If you have any further questions, you know where to reach me."

Ms. Nakamura turned and left the room, which exploded into argument the minute she was out of earshot.

"Whose fucking brilliant idea was it to create the Ultimate Lawyer?" Someone growled. "At this rate she's going to destroy us."

"Richard Mallory has already been fired." Ms. Laurent replied. "And we now have no choice but to deal with her, since she survived her season."

"I hope you mean out of a cannon." Nezumi grumbled. "Laurent, you know we're done. There's no way we can do all of that."

"I… had a thought about that." She replied cautiously. "We'll have to talk to the engineers and the IT folks, but I don't see why it wouldn't work."

"A thought?" The man in charge replied eagerly. "Well, don't draw it out, tell us."

"Perhaps…" Naomi Laurent took a deep breath. "Perhaps it's time to use the Neo World program as more than just a cheap gimmick."
