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!

With Fetch? [ Blink blink. ] Your opponent from the first round? Are you going to fight her again?

~~I wish.~~ I asked her out for coffee before the match. We haven't had the date yet but we've been talking and she's pretty cool.

Ah, a romantic interest then? I see! Is that what prompted that unusual technique of hers partway through the fight...?

Unusual technique? You mean the kiss?

Is that what it was called? She put her mouth on top of yours. I have been unable to discern the tactical use of the technique, but in retrospect it does seem less violent and more tender in nature.

No it's not really a fighting thing. She kissed me because she thought it would distract me. Fortunately, I'm always on the alert for strategies like that.

It did seem to catch you off guard...

I just let her think it did.

I see... Then it would not have been effective if I had attempted to replicate it.

Replicate it?

In order to catch you off guard. If I had not been intending to lose, that is.

No no no no. That's not something you should do with your partner!

No? Why not?

Because that's something people should do when they like each other. Like boyfriends and girlfriends.

So it is romantic after all!

Yeah. So you doing that with me would be really weird. And she'd probably get mad.

Then I will refrain.

Good. Weirdo. [But he means it affectionately.]

You don't have the right to call me that.

Of course I do.

I should have been more specific. You in particular do not have the right to call me that.

I'm completely normal for a detective!

Are most detectives like you, then?

If they're hard-boiled, yeah.

This "hard-boiled" business continues to confuse me. When you say it, you refer to fictional detectives such as Philip Marlowe, correct?
