"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!

I've found it! The perfect ratio of cream and sugar to coffee!

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

Congratulations! What is it?

[decideformyself]

One teaspoon of cream and two teaspoons of sugar to ten fluid ounces of coffee. This is accurate to a margin of error of approximately one-tenth of a teaspoon. However, I've only experimented with the cheapest-available blend of coffee. Other blends are likely to yield different results.

[tanteiotaku]

Whoa, the boss wasn't kidding about your brain.

[decideformyself]

Of course. I am a genius, after all.

[tanteiotaku]

Hey if I get something I can't quite crack, can I get some help from that genius brain of yours?

[decideformyself]

Are you offering to hire me as a consultant for the Hidari Detective Agency?

[ Shouldn't have made him read Raymond Chandler. He knows words, now. ]

[tanteiotaku]

Well, I can't pay you. But yeah.

[decideformyself]

In other words no, you aren't.

I would not be opposed to such an arrangement, though. It could prove useful in my research as well.

[tanteiotaku]

Ah-uh. Great! I'm glad you like the idea.

[decideformyself]

Feel free to contact me if there is anything you would like to know. If I'm not busy, I'll do what I can to assist you.

[decideformyself]

I have a case for you.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

Oh? I'm all ears.

Re: voice

[decideformyself]

I've been contracted to investigate this prison. Despite my intellect, however, I have next to no experience in this department. So I need your assistance.

Re: voice

[tanteiotaku]

Investigate? What in particular?

[decideformyself]

In general. There are many mysteries to uncover, after all.

[tanteiotaku]

I don't know about you, but I'm willing to keep G-block and the kind of people that are down here a secret between us and our neighbors.

But I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from. I'm in.

[decideformyself]

Splendid. With my intelligence and your investigative abilities, I'm sure there's nothing we can't uncover about this place.

[tanteiotaku]

[IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE REAL PARTNERS]

I'm still working on Ms. Hawthorne's missing candy. By now if someone found it they've already made it theirs. And since this is a prison, pretty much anyone would have likely taken it.

[decideformyself]

There probably never was a chance from the start. Who would have passed up a free one-week extension?

[tanteiotaku]

I have to believe there's a solution, though. You have your theory but I don't want her to be the test subject.

[decideformyself]

Do you have anything in mind for her?

[tanteiotaku]

I don't plan on letting her die, if that's what you mean.

[decideformyself]

What I mean is, what is your plan?

[tanteiotaku]

I'm going to go with my gut when the time comes. [So no, no plan at all.]
