[There's a bit too much chaos to deal with it while the flash mob is still going, but as soon as things settle down, for some relative value of settling down, Hijikata's straight on to business.]

If this is your first jaunt: don't panic, try to blend in.

Some of our number are going to think they belong in this world. If you can hear this, then obviously, you're not one of them. Keeping an eye on our infiltrators is usually our second clue to figuring out what the hell we're supposed to be doing here.

Our first one is when we arrive in the middle of some shitstorm like this, though - that usually means something. So it's sounding like this one's got to do with... [A slight noise of frustration. This is not his wheelhouse.] Romantic shit? Valentine's Day? If any of you are experts, now would be a good time to tell the rest of us. Or if you know a lot about, I don't know, weddin-

[Actually, no, this is not how he wants to start wedding planning, he is going to cut himself the hell off there. Embarrassedly.]

We usually start by checking in, anyway, so if you're still yourself, speak up. If you've noticed anyone is definitely an infiltrator, tell us that, too; you might as well save us the trouble of saying something really goddamned stupid to them while we're trying to figure it out.

Shadowy. And the light fixtures flicker if I'm within a meter.

Oh... that sounds very dramatic...?

[She can't even imagine why.]

It's like this is all out of a story...
detectivewonder: (skepticism)

I think we might be in a cartoon.

Me too... um, I mean, when I heard about the animal ears and tails, I thought of anime...

[you know, as you do.]

It's very...shoujo, isn't it? [love stories.... but Mai, he may not have any idea what you're talking about.]
detectivewonder: (this is my sincere face)

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2015-02-22 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Very... girly?

[He speaks Japanese but he doesn't watch anime.]

[oh...right. Well he's not entirely wrong, but--]

N-no, I mean... um. Like... romance stories... they're usually girly, though, I guess...

[mai, you're so bad at explaining.]

Aren't high schools usually the setting for romance stories?
detectivewonder: (IDK)

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2015-02-23 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
I never read that many romance stories. And I tested out of my last semester of high school.

But okay, I'm getting the picture. Helps narrow down what the Trumps might want from us.

... Are we supposed to match people up...?

[.... uh...]

I'm not vey good at that sort of thing, honestly.

[mai, the irony is strong here....... very strong.]
detectivewonder: (IDK)

[personal profile] detectivewonder 2015-02-24 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to imagine something further from my area of expertise.

Nothing comes to mind.

[personal profile] upcard 2015-02-24 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't think I'm that bad. I mean, I'm... pretty bad in dangerous situations, so at least this isn't one...!

[probably]

So don't worry, Tim-san... if it's that bad, I'll do my best to make it better!

I have faith in you.
