"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!

[ He's not sure what he was expecting, but it's not that. ]

How reckless.

[tanteiotaku]

A good detective trusts his instincts.

[decideformyself]

[ Well, that was how Philip Marlowe did it, apparently. Still, it seems wrong to this Philip. ]

I look forward to seeing how that works out.

[starcharted]

[ There's a small note in the tip box today. ]

“I need your help.

Meet me in the courtyard ASAP.

- A potential client”

What the hell were you trying to pull, Hidari?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Are you worried, Terui?

Re: [text]

[unquestionable]

You're more useful alive.

[tanteiotaku]

It takes more than that to kill a hard-boiled detective.

[unquestionable]

Did you actually think you would accomplish something with an idiotic scheme like that?

[tanteiotaku]

What makes you think I didn't?

[unquestionable]

I doubt a foot is all you would have lost if you had discovered something excessively important.

[tanteiotaku]

The wheel decided that.

[unquestionable]

Regardless.

[ He had an inkling that if Shotaro had found something he would have shared it already, anyway. He definitely seemed like the type with no filters. ]

[tanteiotaku]

Don't worry, I'll invite you next time.

[unquestionable]

I'm not interested.

[tanteiotaku]

Scared?

[unquestionable]

Are you challenging me?

[tanteiotaku]

I'm telling you I'm not just going to sit here and play their game nicely. The Boss wouldn't, so I'm not going to, either. I'm going to make them answer for making my partner cry.

[unquestionable]

Unless your way of doing that is getting yourself killed you should reevaluate your strategies.

[tanteiotaku]

If they were going to kill us, they would have. When the Director busted us he had a little screen on his watch. With a button the collars knocked us all out. We woke up in those chairs this morning.

[unquestionable]

[ The "no filters" theory was proving to be true. ]

Do you think they'll be so lenient a second time?

[tanteiotaku]

I guess I'll find out.

[unquestionable]

You're a complete idiot, Hidari.

[tanteiotaku]

If you have any better ideas, I'm listening. Weren't you some kind of prodigy or something?

[unquestionable]

Any ideas I have won't be involving you.
