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.]

You're right and right again, Yoh. It's why I'm thinking I'll take advantage of this little bit of chaos and do some investigating down at the Dome. [After all, what better time to find out more about the enclosure and the Malnosso when there might be some kind of experiment all ready in progress?]

Even if it's useless, I feel like I should at least try. The data isn't just going to come to us unless we make the right preparations and take the proper steps. It might be nothing. Or, it might be something that could be useful later.

That sounds like a great idea, with everything that happened it wouldn't be strange if people overlooked something back then. Coming back to investigate more at the place may bring up something important. Everything tends to have a different light on it when looking back at it, after all.

[With enough time, something that caused pain and sadness may be seen as something that, even if sad, was necessary and brought better things around. The wars that were oh-so-important and in which people died for their nations are proved to have been nothing but tragedies and acts of foolishness. The music, the art that once was laughed at is seen as the work of a genius.]

Even if nothing comes up this time it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep investigating it from time to time. After all, that man was hiding there, it probably won't be easy but something may be found eventually.

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

Exactly. That's my thought on the matter too. [Even if he had to do it himself, a little bit at a time, eventually something of value might be uncovered.] Sometimes a little piece fo junk can become extremely valuable when viewed under the right circumstances.

[Voice]

[mikanphones]

And if not there's always the chance that all it takes is just another person looking at it, after all not everyone sees the same things when looking at something. I'm sure that you will be able to find something of value sooner or later.

It may be of little use, but I would be fine with helping you if you ever needed or wanted some company with it.

[He doesn't impose himself, he doesn't either fully offer help. If he's asked he will go if not he won't go neither mind it, that's the way Yoh works after all.]

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

[He wouldn't want to impose, but...]

Thanks. I'll remember that. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can be very helpful in getting a better idea of the situation.

[Voice]

[mikanphones]

With my age and time being here I'm sure I'm pretty fresh myself.

[Laughing a bit at the bad joke.]

[Voice]

[redjacketthief]

You and a lot of other people! [He joins in the laughter.] Seriously, though? I probably wouldn't ask over half of them. You have a brain in that head of yours--I'll remember that offer.

Thanks.
