Case File# 001 | [Video]

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[Hello Vatheon, have a soaking wet high school detective with a faintly irritable look in his face. He shoves damp bangs out of his eyes and addresses the network with as much dignity as he can currently muster up. Which is still quite a bit, considering the circumstances. He is British, after all.]

... I'm sorry, but the God of this place is a giant coral?

At least if it were a giant sea sponge it could do something about getting me dry.

[Hakuba unknots the tie around his neck and wrings it out before stuffing it in his pocket. He shrugs out of his suit jacket as well, and rolls up his sleeves.]

This is quite possibly the most ridiculous kidnapping that I have ever been witness to. And that includes the one in Devon with the witch's coven.

Only when I was a very tiny grub!

A... grub. [Just. Move past it Hakuba, move past it.]

That must have been nice, coral can be very beautiful. Does this place remind you a bit of home then?

[ex_fintastic398]

In a lot of ways, yes.

[ She pauses for a beat, before going on. ]

I know you want to ask the question.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

If you truly know, then you must be asked it a lot. I don't need to know so much that I wish to bother you with something that you've heard so many times before.

[H-he can extrapolate plenty from what he's already been given, after all. Except perhaps the ultimate answer because, um.]

I see you've been borrowing Nakmaori-keibu's case files again.

How else am I supposed to keep an eye on you, Kid-san? When Jirokichi-san bans all but the smallest children from the room.

Yes. They don't seem to have a sense of morality.

Re: Video.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

None at all?

[fake]

[ 'other detectives' at least confirms his initial suspicion of this person's profession, especially considering he had referenced particular kidnapping cases a little earlier. he nods in response to the greeting, although his attention is still focused on the brainwork part of the conversation. ]

Yes, exactly. If you also consider the curses we residents are regularly made to experience, it could even be seen as an experiment.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Curses? [Muttering slightly to himself.] --really is like Devon-- Ah, what sort of curses might you be referring to?

I haven't spoken to them terribly extensively, but they murdered one of their own because they didn't understand what "April Fool's Joke" means.

[Ky wouldn't say that he understands it either, but he's sure it's not supposed to involve any sort of murder.]

Video.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

How on Earth does anyone misinterpret the definition of April Fool's day to include murder?

[ex_fintastic398]

Yeah, and it's fine! Most humans tend to look pretty similar no matter what world they're from, but trolls only seem to come from ours? It's so weird. Oh, that's what I am, by the way! I'm a troll! Of all the trolls here, they all have skin and horns and eyes like I do, but only me, Eridan and this other dumb jerk you don't need to talk to have fins like me, because we live underwater.

[ Humming thoughtfully for a second. ] I think that's the basics! I don't mind answering questions if you have more though.

video;

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Ah. We have trolls where I'm from, or at least, we have legends of trolls, but I rather think ours are probably quite different.

video;

[ex_fintastic398]

Yeah! I meant that. Other world's trolls aren't anything like us at all.

video;

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[Nodding.] It makes sense.

So trolls where you're from live in a variety of different climates?

video;

[ex_fintastic398]

As many different climates as we have, yeah!

video;

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

That's fascinating. [H-he really means it too...]

Video.

[closedcircuit]

It doesn't seem that they grant human life any worth.

And, in doing so, played right into my hand

Video.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

Not even their own people?

[ Video ]

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

[His hand holding a tazer. Okay, no, I'll stop talking about that now, really.] You really can't ignore a challenge, can you Kid, even when it's completely ridiculous.

Video.

[closedcircuit]

It was one of their own who was murdered.

Video.

[keepcalmandcatchkid]

And was nothing done about this murder? Not even amongst those who are not natives to this place?

Video.

[closedcircuit]

I'm working on something. It's not set up yet though.
