Communicator Voicemail box

"You've just missed Shotaro Hidari. I'm probably fighting those that make the city cry. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done."

Tip Box
The box is cardboard, mostly purple with some black bits. The top has a standup part on it that reads "Hidari Detective Agency". The message on it says: Need help? Know someone that does? See something weird you want someone to look into? Leave me a note here!

[Absolutely the best plan. And that comment is followed by inarticulate shouting.]

[ This is Philip grinning and shaking his head while he waits for Shotaro's blustering to die down. ]

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

Ah, dammit....

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

In fact, as I recall it, you had to be persuaded to take the most efficient route in this Carnival Corpse. Your emotions got in the way.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

Haaaah... [He's not going to admit it but he's right.]

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

I am not judging you, Shotaro. I find your way of thinking strange, but interesting.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

I'm still going to work the same way the Boss did. That hasn't changed.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

Your aim is still to protect the people of this prison and keep them from crying?

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

However I can. I don't know how, but I have to try.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

An admirable goal.

[ And if Philip can help him in that then he knows he has to. Which means that the next time he's under the Doctor's knife he can't cry. ]

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

I'm glad I've got help.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

[ Nod. ] I will do what I can, also. Partner.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

You take it easy, okay? I'll be around later to help you out.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

Of course. [ He's quiet for a moment. ] This will make working quite difficult...

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

No working. Just reading. Any book requests?

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

Something that will stay open without my having to hold it in both hands.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

I'll see what I can do. See you later.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

Thank you, Shotaro.

Re: [voice]

[sentimentalpsycho]

Maybe. Depends on what you're lookin' for.

Detective Hidari, wasn't it? Congratulations on your victory.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Thanks. Just Shotaro is fine, it's not like I'm a cop.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

Ah, pardon me. Shotaro it is.

Admittedly, I did have a reason for wanting to speak with you. I often work alongside your partner in the library, you see. While we aren't friends as such, I'm rather concerned for him. Is there perhaps something I could do to be of assistance?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

The library, huh? Yeah, the Carnival Corpse was pretty rough for him. He loves to learn about new things, so if you know about something, he'd probably be interested in learning about it.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

That wouldn't be a problem at all, however if I can be of any other use don't hesitate to inform me.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Sure thing. Thanks for helping him out. I appreciate it. He could really use friends right now.
