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.]

...That's entirly not helpful then.

I was actually planning an exploration of the wreck in the Battle Dome if no one else has, sometime this week. Maybe we'll dig something up that will shed some light on this.

[It was something he was thinking about, seriously enough to tell a few trusted people about it.]

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

T'ink a few people've checked it out, but another sweep through won't do any harm. If you're needin' volunteers, count me in.

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Any set of hands is welcome for this--the more the merrier, as they say!

[It was also for the sake of getting people with a variety of knowledges between them in there. If one person couldn't figure something out, perhaps someone else on the team could.]

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

Merry ol' party, then, is it?

[Picking on you, Lupin.]

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Why not? We could go to the bar and have a real party afterward too!

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

Now you're talkin' my language.

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Don't I always? Just because I lost a day doesn't mean I forgot about how much you like making things explode. Maybe we'll find something down there you can play with!

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

Prob'ly best I leave everythin' alone unless we know it's somethin' we can blow right up.

[If there's anything that could even vaguely help in an escape attempt, even if it's already mostly ruined, he's going to try to salvage it. There's bound to be someone in the village who can reverse-engineer.]

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Of course--I'd do the same.

[odds were that Red probably could reverse engineer what they found. Tech was his specialty, and Malnosso tech would be a delightful challenge. His failure to break through the AI during the attack was intolerable, but this would give him a better chance the next time it happened.]

[Voice]

[kineticcajun]

Good to know we're on the same page, then, homme.

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Why wouldn't we be? We're of a similar breed, and we probably want similar things...

I'll contact you when I get everything assembled
