Ninth Case [Audio/Action] (slightly forward dated to May 18th at 4:30 to 5:00 in the morning)

[detectiveprincess]

[Some clattering is heard, along with some groaning. There's a little bit of shuffling before a tired voice is finally heard.]

What on earth is that noise?

[As more shuffling is heard there is the distinct sound of scratching and scraping at the walls. There's also small sounds of squeaking. Does the young detective's apartment have wood floors?

Grumbling is heard distantly.]

I really hope that someone's not trying to break into my apartment... They should know I have a gun and-

[The distant sound of a light switch clicking on is heard.]

What... is...

[GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING VATHEON! Your wake up call is a blood curdling scream before the audio shuts off after the sound of a thud, some skittering and a soft squeak.]

Hey, you alright?

[Despite the time, he sounds like he's awake. He's never been one for sleeping in... or sleeping... And that scream was pretty similar to a damsel in distress cry, so. How could the great Zelos pass up this opportunity?]

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

I will be fine... Just startled mostly...

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

Well, if you say so.

What happened?

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

Rat infestation of my flat.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

Huh. I thought it'd be something worse, what with that girly scream and all.

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

I was startled by a large amount of rats... that infested my apartment... early in the morning.

You try not to scream.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't scream if I were in your position. Not that I would.

They really loud enough to wake you up this early?

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

Being of the profession I was where I'm from, I'm not a heavy sleeper.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

Well, I guess I don't really have any clue how loud rats are, seeing as I've never had to deal with them. At least, not in my own home.

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

Depending on the number and size, they can be quite loud.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

Sounds gross.

So what's this profession you used to have? Being alert at this time is pretty impressive.

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

It really is.

My profession is not just being a student, but a detective as well.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

So what, were you some kind of prodigy?

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

2000 IQ - which is fairly smart in my world. I also have 25 solved cases under my name. So, yes... I suppose you could say some sort of prodigy.

audio;

[notchosenbychoice]

You sure are modest. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

So then how old are you?

audio;

[detectiveprincess]

I turned 17 last month.
