[Open Broadcast for Investigators]

[reachforthekey]

Who: Any and all investigators.
When: 130 AM, after everyone’s been booked and tossed in the drunk tank.
What: The start of the investigation.

I’ll give it just eight hours, then I’m breaking us out of here.

[If it’s possible for a mental voice to sound as if it’s being pressed through gritted teeth, Eren’s does, a mixture of frustration and determination that comes through loud and clear even disembodied.]

We should do a roll call. Who still remembers who they are? And… is an ace of spades just a guy who’s really good with a shovel?

Anyway, I’ll start. Eren Jaeger, Investigator. Armin Arlert, Infiltrator.

Wes Janson. Investigator's the "I don't have amnesia" crowd, right?

I don't know about the Ace of Spades, but it sounds like a card. Don't recognize the suit, though, that one's not in a sabacc deck.

[reachforthekey]

Why would they care about a card?

[thezerothlaw]

I don't appear to be lacking any of my memories. This would classify me as an investigator? What are we investigating?

[reachforthekey]

Who are you, again?

We don't know what we're investigating yet. The first part of it is always finding out what's important to the infiltrators... which means getting them to trust you.

[moredakka]

Are we doing a jailbreak? But they've got guns, American police is supposed to be really tough...

[Oh right. Roll call. Professional.]

Um. Ogura Sio, Investigator!

[reachforthekey]

Guns won't stop me. But... if we have to do a jailbreak, we'd better make sure everyone has weapons afterward.

Have you talked to anybody yet who thinks they belong here?

[sparkstriker]

Lightning. Still myself, and not in jail.

You guys need a hand?

[reachforthekey]

I've got it. If they don't let us out, there's no reason for anybody else to get in trouble.

Did you see anyone else get away?

[wholeheaded]

Ambrose Langwe, present and voting in favor of getting out of here sooner rather than later.

And as a head's up I'm pretty sure Remy's not quite himself.

[reachforthekey]

It looks like Hijikata's an infiltrator, too.

Everybody seems to think they'll let us out in the morning, so I'll wait until then.

[nicotinized]

Toshizou Hijikata, investigator. How exactly were you planning on getting us all out?

[reachforthekey]

The same way I broke the engine on the Spark.

[gitanes]

Highest-value playing card in a deck. The death card. Lila Zacharov. I remember exactly who I am.

[She sounds a lot bored and a little annoyed, when in fact she is a lot annoyed and a little bored.]

It's just obnoxious superstition. Cops are always superstitious.

[reachforthekey]

Death card?

[rekkaning]

Why bother waiting? If you can do it, do it now. [Guess who's annoyed at having been manhandled.]

[reachforthekey]

If they're just going to let us out in a few hours there's no point in rushing.

[unabatedly]

Neria Surana, still here. Garrett's an infiltrator; I wasn't able to get to him.

[reachforthekey]

... You've helped run investigations before, right?

[capital_asset]

...Kuzunoha Raidou. Memory intact, not in jail. Is there a place we should gather once everyone is free?

[reachforthekey]

Can you find a place? We didn't really have a chance to look around.

[creatic]

[ laughs. thank god this is all in his head or he wouldn't be able to be say anything. peace and quiet, who wants that. ]

Say, do you think if we forgot who we are we'd be able to still answer you accordingly?

[reachforthekey]

No, but by this point you should probably know if your friends know who they are or not.

[tealeafs]

Um, Y-- Yukimura Chizuru! I'm here and.. an Investigator too, I think..? [ She was caught up to speed by Hijikata before.. well, all of this just started happening out of nowhere, so she's still really getting the hang of it. It's probably why she's still mentally speaking up even when she's technically already accounted for.

Well, that, but also-- ]

Are you sure breaking out is a good idea though..? It could cause a lot of trouble.

[ Not that she's really questioning it too much since Eren does sound like he knows what he's doing here a lot more than she is, but she's just a little worried. ]

[reachforthekey]

We're going to wait and see if they really let us out in the morning. But after that, we're not waiting around any longer!

[abetterway]

Do you have a plan? [Jocelyn's voice, so to speak, is quiet. She feels a bit helpless, and it's making her moody.]

The Ace of Spades... [Lower still, with an edge of haunted regret.] It was used as a psychological weapon in Vietnam.

I think we're a bit early for that, however.
