"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!

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.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

Of course. Prison life wouldn't be quite as harsh if we spent more time making allies than enemies, don't you think?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Exactly. I'm glad there's other people that feel the same way, especially after knowing who did what to people during the Carnival Corpse.

[vaframenti]

That event was... quite a spectacle. Each time I think they've reached the pinnacle of brutality I'm again proven wrong.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

I feel like I got lucky, nothing I got handed was permanent.

[text]

[vaframenti]

You were rather fortunate, all things considered.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Maybe. We'll see how things go tomorrow.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

You worry for your friends?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

I've been up there before. No one deserves that.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

You took a rather big risk to end up there. Was it at all worth the trouble?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

It wasn't a waste of time.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

Then it's good that it wasn't for nothing.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

So you're kind of the last of the old guard around here, huh? Most people I meet haven't been here long, but you've been here a while haven't you?

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

Considering that death is an ever present threat I suppose you could call just under two months "a while".

It isn't a particularly pleasant position to be in.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

I didn't mean... Sorry about that.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

This is simply how life is. No more, no less.

[ Or so he tells himself. ]

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

True enough. Can I talk to you about some things in a couple days? I've got some questions about this place.

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

I see no reason why not. Given that I'm still around, that is.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Why do you say that?

Re: [text]

[vaframenti]

It might be decided that my time is up. How could one ever know for sure?

[ A moment later... ]

I beg your pardon. My problems have nothing to do with you.

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

As long as you've got candy, you should be fine, right? Except for the events.
