10th Turn [Voice/Action]

[redjacketthief]

[July 9: Voice]

Hey, Luceti.

[The thief speaks clearly over the public audio feeds very suddenly that night, with a level of calm that is surprising for some residents he spoke with over his most recent transmission. There's no laughter in his tone, nor any bitterness. He speaks as if he were holding a casual conversation.]

I just wanted to let you know, for those of you who knew him, that Detective Inspector Zenigata Koichi has returned home. Don't worry--he's just gone back to doing what he does best, even if he hasn't yet succeeded. Never let there be a doubt, he is the best damn officer that the ICPO has to offer. 

We're down another lawdog, guys, but we'll manage. Let's make the old bastard proud!

Also...he wasn't here for very long, so I don't know how many people he knew, but Jigen Daisuke has also returned home. Don't worry for him either, because its better for him to be out of here. He's quiet, but places like this never got on well with him.

If you want to honor them in some way, have a few drinks and a few smokes. If that's not your thing, then have a bowl of Miso Ramen for Pops. It's his favorite dish.

[Filtered to Smoker: Unhackable]

Captain? Pops left you something if you want to come get it.

[Considering recent weeks and the whirlwind of events, Lupin appeared to be taking the loss of two of his best friends rather well. Residents of Community House 5 would have noticed the sheer delay he took in actually investigating Zenigata's apartment on the third level. Whether out of physical necessity or his own misplaced lonliness, Lupin spends the night there.]

[July 10: Action]

[Residents of the village will be able to catch Lupin between several places the next day, largely in the area around Community House 5, the Barracks, and the Battle Dome. Although he's physically not fully adjusted to the current conditions left on him by the Malnosso, Lupin treks his way over to the Dome to make use of one of the simulation rooms for target practice. His aim went with his balance, and he intended to rectify that as soon as possible. Acquaintances could call him out on his poor coping skills once more, but that won't stop him from trying.

It's late afternoon by the time he's satisfied enough to leave, although he doesn't quite make it back to his room. Wandering villagers will find him napping anywhere around the Barracks or Community House 5, although a preference for sleeping under or in trees is noticeable. Just...don't ask him if he needs a hand.

If his refusal for aid is unaccepted, he will not be directing people to his apartment in the community building, but to House 46 on the other side of town.

His friends insisted on the change, and he was in no position to argue.]

Comments

Action.

[avenger]

[ Why not? Sasuke is still in the village, and he's still trying to keep as far away from Naruto as possible. Which typically means staying away from areas he thinks Naruto would go, and for the time being that place is right here.

Near the barracks.

Where he is throwing shuriken at a tree. It couldn't exactly be called shuriken practice, but he's doing it anyway. ]

[ voice ]

[breezing]

Sorry 'bout your friend, Lupin. Didja like your brownie?

[justicereigns]

[Damn. Zenigata was pretty much the only lawdog friend Smoker got along well with in Luceti, so it shows in his voice. He never was good at hiding his emotions.]

Yeah, let's meet for ramen and a drink. Where are you?

[consultsdetective]

Sorry to hear it. He seemed like a decent bloke.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[After three days of being at home, Don needs to get out. He can't speak straight, but he can operate a computer (more or less) and he can fight, so to the Battle Dome he goes. He spends a very satisfying couple of hours beating up virtual enemies, then heads to the lounge to get a drink and observe the occupants of the other simulation chambers.]

[Is that Lupin...? Maybe he'll come up here when he's done.]

voice - 7/9

[ Tenten delivers a heavy sigh before continuing. Investigator Zenigata was one of her most favorite people in Luceti. ] Thank you for telling me. [ She isn't sure what else to say. This put a pretty huge damper in her day. ] I don't drink or smoke, but if you need any help with anything, please let me know.

[tellmejohn]

[Oh Scorpius is having "target practice" too. ...But no, actually, he's testing out his new pulse pistol. He had to make it from salvage and frankly, it hasn't been up to snuff yet. Mostly, the pulse's range has been limited so far and it feels like it's firing short.

He's not testing it at the dome though, he's testing it int he woods behind his den, so relatively near the boomshack. Shooting in the direction of trees for now. The pulses usually shoot out as a burst of orange light... but most of them are falling short after barely four meters. Bah.

They do leave nice holes in the ground though]

[gumgumboobies]

ZENIGATA!? He went home?!

Ugh, that puts me in a bad mood. I liked that old man, he was funny! I wish the Marines from my world was more like him.

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune actually met Jigen a couple of times, which means, to her, he's a friend. She's sorry he went home before they could get to know each other better, but right now there something more important for her to think about.]

Are they your friends, Arsène?
