[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

Yeah sure, later.

If you say so. Can't go much worse than anything I guess.

[wantedittobeagame]

W-well, it probably can get worse, but right now we can rest easy at least.

[There's an awkward pause.]

Uh... I dunno how well you know me in your timeline, but... I'm Adachi Tohru. Looking forward to working with you.

[urbanwhizkid]

That's not very reassuring.

You're Doujima-san's partner, sometimes you gave us convenient bits of information that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Didn't talk to you a whole lot outside of that time I got me and Yu-kun arrested for having fake weapons in public.

[wantedittobeagame]

...yeah.

[Adachi fell quiet for a long moment, and it was hard to miss the disappointment in his voice. Though whether directed at Yosuke or himself, it was hard to tell.]

...guess "I" was real helpful.

[urbanwhizkid]

We wouldn't have gotten anywhere after Yukiko or Mitsuo went missing if not for your help.

[wantedittobeagame]

[He feels a little sick at the thought. He was pretty sure that "help" wasn't actually helping...]

Mitsuo? Who's that?

[urbanwhizkid]

Mitsuo Kubo, he was your suspect in the death of King Mor- Kinshiro Morooka, one of my teachers at Yasogami High.

[wantedittobeagame]

Wha-- you mean like a separate suspect from the rest of the murders?

...hunh. That's weird. Morooka was part of the murders in my timeline.

[urbanwhizkid]

Yeah. He took credit for them all, but it was really easy to prove he didn't once Nanako-chan was kidnapped.

Yeah that is weird.
