He calls me up, calls me on the phone

[bypartisan]

One of the local urchins is telling me he has information on the Zeitgeist. High likelihood that it's a trap, but I might as well try to spring it and see what I can learn. And perhaps I'll get lucky and it won't be. I'll keep everyone appraised.

Masked man--think I recognize him--Joseons--that dinner--Yi's damn book!

[He falls silent after that. Further attempts to contact him in the next few hours will remain unsuccessful.]

[timelessinventor]

That makes no damn sense...

Bollocks.

[She starts broadcasting a bit louder.]

Can someone tell me who the hell Yi is, and where I can find him? Also, why would he have masked men setting traps?

[wantedittobeagame]

Hngh? Yi?

[Looks like someone's still drunk, considering Adachi's voice sounds like it's coming in over a bad television reception.]

'tha's Sooj. Soooji. Souji.

[Yeah, that last one.]

He's playin' around as Noot's. Naout's. Naoto's hus'ban 't be.

[timelessinventor]

Oh, for heaven's sake, Adachi, sober the hell up.

[There's a bit of a sharp tone in her voice. She's losing patience quickly.]

Why would he be setting traps, though? What would he want with Byerly? What is he like? Or, really, what is he like here?

[wantedittobeagame]

No.

[Amount of fucks given: 0.]

Dunno why'h'd set traps. Seems'ta be a bitofa dip 'n here.

[He paused a moment.]

...'less he's just tha' much done wi' Noot-noot.

[timelessinventor]

Noot-noot? Oh, dear.

[Helena falls silent for a moment, considering this.]

However, if he was done with her, how does that involve Byerly? I do not believe they have even spoken. Either your princess or that prince.

[leftbehindagain]

...Hold up, from what I've heard it's pretty unlikely Souji-san could be bothered to kidnap anyone. If he's as much of a drip as Naoto seems to think, anyway.

[wantedittobeagame]

Wha' he sad.

[timelessinventor]

Alright, so assuming for a moment that this Prince Yi or Souji, or whoever he is did not set the trap.

He would at least be a start to find this... masked man, would he not?

[leftbehindagain]

Possibly, if you can get him or someone in his employ to talk to you about it.

[wantedittobeagame]

Mm... bes' way 'ta get in is to go through Nootnoot. Prob'ly can get inta the ship through he conso-- consul-- th' chick that follows her around.

[leftbehindagain]

...You do realise that if you call her 'Nootnoot' after this she's going to shoot you.

[wantedittobeagame]

H-heh... nooooooooot. Nooot-nooty.

...

Hey, I maybe had a little too much.

[You think?!]

[leftbehindagain]

Sorry, no Amritas to speak of.

And if she does shoot you over this, you can recover from it the long way.

[wantedittobeagame]

Wow, rood. Nooty is funny.

[leftbehindagain]

Is it really rude when you're bringing it on yourself?

[wantedittobeagame]

M'drunk.

M'lowed

[leftbehindagain]

And if you're still drunk when this is over, she's going to yell at you.

[wantedittobeagame]

I'll be sober later.
