Voicemail/Tip Box

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!

[Laughing a little on his end.]

I'm sure it did. I'm glad that went well.

[ And this is Philip wrestling Shotaro's communicator away from him and turning the voice function on. ]

It was incredible! John Smith, we really have to include Shotaro next time.

[voice]

[starcharted]

[ That gave him a good chuckle. ]

Oh, most definitely! At this rate we'll have our own science club.

Re: [voice]

[tanteiotaku]

Science club, I don't remember agreeing to that!

Re: [voice]

[decideformyself]

Then it's decided.

Re: [voice]

[starcharted]

I don't think you've got much of a choice here, Shotaro.

Re: [voice]

[tanteiotaku]

Ah, dammit! I guess someone has to be the voice of reason for you two being insane.

Re: [voice]

[decideformyself]

We should build a car. I have memorized the blueprints.

Re: [voice]

[starcharted]

I don't think they'd let us build a car. Maybe something smaller. A bike?

By the way, Shotaro, the proper word is "brilliant".

Re: [voice]

[tanteiotaku]

Brilliantly insane. You're a couple of mad scientists.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Yeah it does. Need a teddy bear?

[sentimentalpsycho]

[ She... actually doesn't respond for a good three minutes or so.

What he doesn't know is that she had been laughing hysterically. ]

Depends. Does he wear a fedora too?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

[IT'S OKAY HE'S NOT PANICKING OR ANYTHING.] Of course he does.

Re: [text]

[sentimentalpsycho]

You should bring him for a visit sometime.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Far be it from me to keep a lady waiting.

[Sorry Philip, he's a popular guy. He'll be back soon.

Knock knock, Fetch!]

[text] > [action]

[sentimentalpsycho]

Come on in!

[ She really didn't feel like getting up to open the cell door. Having your kidney yanked out hurt pretty bad, but at least having a cute guy around would take the edge off. ]

Re: [text] > [action]

[tanteiotaku]

[He felt guilty as hell for her being there in the first place. But he was going to keep those feelings at bay.]

You look like you've had a long day.

[sentimentalpsycho]

Some people got it worse than me. Feels like I got hit by a truck though.

[ She wanted to sit up to talk to him better, but that was a dumb move. She grimaced and fell back onto the bed. ]

Son of a bitch.

[tanteiotaku]

[He put a hand out and got comfy on the edge of her bed.] Yeah, they did. It doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

I would have warned you if I knew there wasn't going to be anesthetic. There was when they took my foot off. Sorry.

[sentimentalpsycho]

[ She grasped his hand and pulled herself up, slowly but surely. By the time she could reach far enough to do so, she punched him lightly on the shoulder. ]

Don't start lookin' at me like that. I'm not gonna accept an apology for somethin' that isn't even your fault.

[tanteiotaku]

[No matter how often he heard that, he still didn't believe it.]

Right, right. [A huff, and he takes his hat off to pick a bit at it.] If you need anything, let me know, alright? Your wish is my command.

[sentimentalpsycho]

[ She tilted her head, grinning. ]

Anything? Are you flirting with me already?

[ She was teasing, of course. She was doing it right back. ]

[tanteiotaku]

I thought I started flirting with you when I asked you to join me for some coffee.

[sentimentalpsycho]

You know what I mean, doofus.

But let's go back to that "your wish is my command" thing. I'm likin' the way that sounds.

[tanteiotaku]

Yeah? What did you have in mind?
