6th Turn [Voice/Action]

[redjacketthief]

[It's mid-afternoon when the journal post is made by a familiar voice in an unfamiliar mood. A quick look at the image reveals a face that is both familiar and unfamiliar--but that smile, with it's odd curl and suppressed mirth, can mean it is only one person.]

[Failed Filter to Mine Fujiko: Completely Readable]

Hey...Fujiko? Remember that game you gave me at the end of the last month before you went on your mission? It was very clever, and the prize has been a joy. How did you know I liked history books? I'm wondering, though...why are you having me read about your ex-boyfriend's grandfather, after you made it clear that you don't want to think about it?

[There's a pause as the man notices the feed.] Oh... blast it! I messed, Fujiko. Want to meet in my place?

...Everyone, disregard that.


[Later that day the man wanders the town, his hair in a mussed disarray and red jacket noticeably missing. Instead he wears dark colors, fitted but more casual clothes, and his wings are for once in the open. He's headed to the library to return some books, gather others and other supplies. Early that evening, another journal post is made. This time, it's intended for anyone.]

Evening, Luceti, this is Red. I was just wondering...is anyone else around here missing about twenty-one hours of their weekend? Does anybody who isn't know what happened? It's just a question for inquiring minds.

Also--has anybody actually given the Battle Dome a good once over after last week?

[He's serious in his words, even if the smile is light. Ladies and Gentleman, meet the man who's going to be adamant about calling himself Red...someone you're more likely to know as Arsene Lupin III. He's not going to stand down from that either.]

[OOC: Details about how Lupin has been shifted, for the curious, are here. He has a number of physical details in terms of style that are changing beyond what's available to me in normal fanart and screencaps, so I've had to choose a PB, Emiya Kiritsugu a man from another anime that I've yet to actually see. Replies will have appropriate icons, thanks.]

[At some point during the early afternoon, Luke approaches his old, old friend. He'd known Red for many, many years, having fought alongside him and even relied on him for help when searching for Han, and recruiting Force Sensitives to rebuild the shattered Jedi Order.]

Red? I know we haven't seen much of each other since Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Initiate Adele have appeared. I'd like to change that. Would you care to join me for a walk and perhaps some lunch?

[Action]

[redjacketthief]

[It was always a pleasure seeing his old friend, no matter how nerve-wracking it could sometimes be hanging around him. He had grown used to the idea of having Jedi around, and Force Sensitives becoming a steadily more common thing.

It was a rare honor. Having been alive for the end of the Clone Wars, it almost felt like his life had gone full circle. He wouldn't trade his current lifestyle for any other in any of the universes.]

That sounds like it would be pretty fun, Luke. Just...lay off the rank, please. I don't want too many more people knowing about that.

[Action]

[thefinaljedi]

Alright, then lets get going, Commander. [Luke smirks at this, knowing that Red rankled just as much as Wedge and Han on the matter of rank]

Why don't we stop by the restaurant and pick up some lunch then?

[Voice]

[mikanphones]

[Red? Yoh stares a bit confused to the journal, he's sure to recognize the voice but the name and the appearance don't really match. It doesn't really matter either way, he's addressing to something Yoh himself has noticed.]

I don't really remember much of anything that happened yesterday. I thought I may had spent the whole day sleeping or something.

[He laughs a bit.]

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

[His laughter joins Yoh's.] That's not a bad way to spend a day, honestly! I probably did the same, but it doesn't really feel like I'm that rested.

...how are you adapting anyway, Yoh? Find all of your belongings?

[Voice]

[mikanphones]

Yeah, I still feel kind of sleepy and all. But then again I do like to sleep and relax a lot so that's pretty normal.

[Laughing again. He pauses, though, as his name is called. The voice and knowing his name, the only person he has talked to before with that voice was Lupin, but the looks and the name... Then again, they said strange things like this happen in the village more often than what one would think so...]

There are a few things missing, but the most important ones are now all with me already. I'm adapting quite well so far, found a place and a friend from my world.

[Having Sonic here makes things easier, even if Amidamaru's situation is so... Strange.]

[action]

[fleurdesel]

[After last night's little stunt Adele's need for movement, for excitement was sated. For now. She's spending the rest of the day lounging around the village, perhaps apologizing in little ways for any disturbances she caused with her hijinks, or just people watching like normal. When she sees Red? She grins and sits up from where she'd been laying on a bench and offers a wave.]

Hello sweetheart.

[action]

[redjacketthief]

[It's afternon by the time he runs into the Initiate, the Leblanc novels have been returned, and he has a small duffle bag with reems of blank unlined paper and sketching materials--prep for later.

He grins and waves back, ambling over to join her.]

Hey Goldie. You dry off yet?

[voice.]

[folklorist]

[ A sigh. ] Twenty-one hours. You'd think they would warn us first before taking away something like that. [ He doesn't have anything complied into his laptop either. Nope. Nothing. The tapping of fingers on a keyboard stops as he considers the next question with an interested 'hm'. ]

I was actually thinking of going there myself. There's bound to something lying around to get data off of. [ Because Helios is totally technologically saavy now. There might be something or other in all that wreckage after all and he can't pass up an opportunity like that. ]

When do you plan on going?

[voice.]

[redjacketthief]

Since when are they ever that nice? [He huffs at this, in his frustration...

But this was Helios.]

I'm planning on doing some recon later this week--since when are you interested in tech, though? I thought you were into magic.

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

[Failed filter? Calling himself Red? He knows that voice, Lupin, what are you up to.]

Y'know, I was gonna ask you what happened. Half the town disappeared.

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

[It was the Malnosso to blame for the filter failure, and Red is fairly certain that he's not up to anything.]

Half of the town, Gambit? Really? Did they program their droids to be hyper efficient or something?

[Action]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata is 150% BAFFLED by Lupin's behavior. This is some new level of absolute MADNESS that the thief has stooped to. Or...its a really screwy experiment. The failed filter to Fujiko alone is a clue, but when he actually SEES Lupin wandering around town he can't help but follow, staying out of sight until he finally gets annoyed and stalks up]

Lupin, what the hell are you playing at? You lost yer marbles?

[Action]

[redjacketthief]

[What.

What?

Red whirls on Zenigata. He'd noticed the Inspector stalking, but had discreetly decided to ignore it. There had to be a reason for it. But...this?]

Inspector. I'm not sure I know what you're talking about...and I already told you to call me Red. That was months ago. Did you lose more than twenty-one hours this time?

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

First question? No idea, but I'm missing some time too. Think it's an experiment?

Second question, no, haven't had been to the Battle Dome recently.

[Written]

[redjacketthief]

Probably. It might be connected to that missing weekend we had a few months back. At least they've upgraded this time. It's still annoying.

Do you care to change the second and join me later in the week? A few others sound like they want to come too.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[She gets to it a little late as she's been hanging out in the mountains and only checks the journal once she gets back to the apartment. Then the whole thing is a giant bundle of "what even?"]

Yeah? I'm glad you liked the game...

Now what nonsense are you talking about? Um. "Red"? Were you kidnapped by the Malnosso?

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

I'm missing twenty-one hours, but I think I'd remember if I was kidnapped and experimented on, Fujiko. It's not important--I'm still me, unlike a lot of people around here.

...They were good books, although now I'm a little confused. I thought you didn't like your ex-boyfriend and wanted nothing to do with him. ...I was being polite in giving you your space.

[feetoffury]

[Chun-Li has been swaggering around town with a distinctive sway in her step for the past day or so. She looks much the same, except her choice of clothing is a LOT more revealing than usual, trading the qi-pao for a tight shirt and leather breeches. Why? Because she's a pirate! And Red, she's keen to know how her favorite pupil's been getting along. So, while you're around town, expect to run into your bossy, piratical teacher]

Hey, Red. Haven't seen you 'round the past few days.

[Action]

[redjacketthief]

[Excellent! It's the good Detective Chun-Li...dressed very differently and carrying herself differently. He smiles, intending on being polite in spite of his confusion. Maybe she can help him figure a few things out?]

Hey, Detective. I haven't seen you around either--you take too a new style? It looks good on you!

[action] Late afternoon-ish, feel free to (literally) bump into her. X3

[thebellthatbinds]

[Sabriel is lingering around the library today to try and look for some of the books from her world although so far the familiar titles elude her in the sea of so many foreign covers. In the end she's picked out a couple that sound interesting, a bestiary as well as a book on 'new age' magic, whatever that was...although it sounds rather ridiculous really.

In any case, she's slowly adding to her pile of books, the pile tall enough to block her view as she turns the corner out of the aisle.]

[action] yay!

[redjacketthief]

[Red was walking through the cross aisle at that very moment, the history narratives by Leblanc having been replaced and his mind set on finding some new reading material. Nothing else that he saw until that point was catching his interest--but the slim, dark haired young lady that appeared out of nowhere!

He notices too late, and isn't able to maneuver out of the way or warn her in time before--]

Hey, Miss??

[Bump and topple!]

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Now that you mention it, yeah... Not something I'd discuss here, though, sir.

[Voice] 1/2

[redjacketthief]

I understand. Would you rather meet somewhere?

And please...

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Don't call me 'sir'!
