Hello, this is Naoto Shirogane. I... seem to have been evicted from my overlay, one Mako Adams.

Do not attempt to tangle with him. While his actual powers are much less than people have been led to believe, he is crafty, and an excellent pistol shot. I will be taking him out myself after removing a few things from his apartment.

Thorne-san, Malik-san, Tim-san, Zed-san, my most sincere apologies.

They know we are here, but they are mostly unaware of who we are or what we do.

Once I have taken a few moments, I will be back and see what I can do.

[Private to Kanji]

Kanji? If you are yourself, as I believe you are, could you come to Liminal Space? I... could use some company.

Ah, so you were the detective who was the culprit this time...my sympathies. I'm certainly glad to have your intellect back on our side.

How exactly were you evicted, though?

[shiroganeheir]

After everything I have been a witness to, I am glad to be back as well.

[There is an exasperated sigh before she goes on, carefully.]

Adams' training is in exorcism. He is well aware of how to remove spirits from people. He used a combination of a laser pointer of some sort and a woman's powder compact that already contained a... raven spirit, I believe.

I was... in the compact for a few moments, at least long enough to speak to him briefly before I came here.

[awitchdidit]

Ugh. Mirrors. That would do it, alright.

He's a major problem for our attempts at interfering with things already...any insights into his weaknesses?

[shiroganeheir]

He is extremely paranoid and has an extremely short fuse. He is only threatening so far as you show fear or weakness or lie to him.

As for powerset, unlike what people say, he is no telepath. In actuality, he has heightened senses and acute training on how to use that. He is also able to tell if anyone is lying, so I wouldn't try.

To be frank, anyone with an actual power set with some planning and determination could take him out. I am intending to do just that. I... have used my Persona against a person only rarely, but I believe this is warranted.

[Beatrice pauses. He sounds like a fun diversion and a nice reminder of the last third-rate detective she thrashed into oblivion, but...]

...there's no need to bloody your hands when there's plenty of professional killers about, Detective. Execution isn't the job of an investigator.

[shiroganeheir]

This is not the first detective gone bad that I have taken down.

[And knowing her luck, probably not the last.]

Besides, I am loathe to sit back when I have quite a lot of specific information about him.

... and I want his laptop.

[awitchdidit]

Well, I won't stop you, either. Any illusion or enchantment magic I have is at your disposal.
