Open Broadcast / Fanboy Freakout in 5... 4...

[wantedittobeagame]

...whoa. I was a detective...

[It takes Adachi a moment to realize how silly that sounded, and he let out a mental scoff.]

Well, I mean, I am a detective, but damn, I always loved that American crime drama kinda thing. Just... the women and the shoot outs and the gangsters, and--

[He cut himself off, realizing that his reaction... probably wasn't very appropriate, considering what else went down. He let out a sheepish noise, following by a mumble that sounded strangely like, "Can we do that again?"]

[superieure]

[excuse u sir what is that about women. Monet's tone is singularly unimpressed, and bossier than usual.]

What kind?

[wantedittobeagame]

The dames! The sexy, hot women that have the hard boiled detective wrapped around their little finger.

[...he really doesn't see how that's a bad thing.]

[superieure]

[...]

[...]

[Wow no.]

I meant what kind of detective.

[wantedittobeagame]

O-oh! Er... I'm just a small time detective in Japan. Nothing special about me.

[He is such a terrible liar.]

[superieure]

You're a dick.

[She means this both in the sense of a private detective, and an asshole. Two for one special!]

And if you're going to lie, at least make it less pathetic.

[wantedittobeagame]

[Adachi let out a sigh.]

Dumbass. I'm used to dumbass.

[superieure]

Jerk.

[:|]

What sort of cases do you deal with?

[wantedittobeagame]

Well... just got off a big murder case. It...

[He trailed off there, uncomfortable.]

B-but, it's usually pretty quiet in Inaba.

[superieure]

[Discomfort. Hm. She debates pushing it - but he doesn't seem to be indulging her petty insults, and so she drops it thread and pursues another angle.]

I'm with X-Factor Investigations, in New York City. [Beat.] We deal with the unusual.

[Mutant cases, she means, but she's realised few here really know what that label means.]

[tealeafs]

[ Chizuru recognizes the voice, although it takes her a moment or two to place it. She slowly blinks to herself before she fully recognizes it - that man she had talked to when she first arrived here before the Jaunt happened, right?

Well, he was kind back then and did try to reassure her, so she figures it's at least polite to respond. ]

Do you mean you were a different kind of.. um, detective than usually..?

[wantedittobeagame]

Oh... well yeah; nineteen-thirties American detectives were a lot different from modern Japanese detectives.

[Can you let out a wistful sigh in your mind? Because Adachi totally managed it.]

Man, I never thought I'd get the chance to be right in the middle of it.

[tealeafs]

[ She'll just have to take that one from him, considering she doesn't know much about either category.. although she maybe has a very, very vague idea of the former after this Jaunt. ]

.. Ehehe. I guess I'm glad it was exciting for you.. [ Because she sure didn't like all of it. ] It seems those Jaunts can give people positive experiences too, huh?

[wantedittobeagame]

[He realizes that, and something like a sheepish noise comes from him.]

Yeah... I mean, I read books about this stuff when I was a kid, so...

[tealeafs]

Was it a lot like what you expected then? Or did it end up being something else entirely? [ After all, it might have been a different world, as.. strange as that idea still is. But she experienced it, so there's no denying it's real. ]

[wantedittobeagame]

Man, it was better than I expected.

[If she was close by, she might get to see flowers dancing around his head.]

[tealeafs]

[ Cute... ]

Hehe, that's good. It'd be pretty sad if you always dreamed of something and then found out it was a lot worse than you expected..

[moredakka]

It... it was kind of cool, wasn't it?

[She is totally down with thinking about it as cool rather than confusing and distressing and generally wtf.]

[wantedittobeagame]

It was!

If we keep getting cool stuff like this, I'm good with all this world hopping.

[moredakka]

Maybe we'll get to go to space next time... oooh, or a world with giant robots!

[wantedittobeagame]

[Adachi flinched at the mention of giant robots.]

I-I'll pass on the giant robots. Going to space would be cool though.

[moredakka]

But maybe we'll get to infiltrate as pilots! That would be so amazing, we wouldn't just have them but we'll know how to fly them and fight in them too...

[For serious Adachi how can anyone not love giant robots.]

[wantedittobeagame]

I've had my fill of giant robots and falling from them...

S-so I'll pass.

[moredakka]

Wha- ! You've been in a giant robot?? You fell out of it?

[wantedittobeagame]

On a giant robot, yeah.

[moredakka]

What were you doing on one? [Goddamnit Adachi she thought you were a super cool giant robot pilot.]
