mayfield_rpg | Case 1: Awakening/Investigation

[Action: 3472 Erwin Road]

[Shoutaro groans as he reaches up to pull his hat off his face. He remembers falling asleep at his desk. Which at the moment is not feeling like a chair at all. Maybe Phillip and Akiko moved him?

But, moving his hand reveals not a fedora covering his face, but a starchy pillow instead. He sits up, groggily taking in the surroundings. Stark, white ceiling with....really strange-looking wallpaper. A room that he's never seen before in his life. And an even stranger woman sleeping beside him.

He, of course, takes this in his usual, Hard-Boiled stride.]

EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?

[Action: Downtown Mayfield]

[Shoutaro has (eventually) found something suitable to wear in his so-called wardrobe, including a semi-decent fedora...nowhere near as stylish as his own several. He's made his way downtown to get away from the 'people' in his house.]

This has got to be a dream. It's just got to be. What in the blazes is this place?

[No amount of posturing is going hide his anxiety, or frustration at waking up in this place. Maybe you can come over and try to calm him down a bit?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[You want anxiety? You got anxiety. Cue a certain blonde-haired Green warrior walking right into you]

Y-aaa-aaaaa! Ow!

[Shoutaro stumbles back, knocked a bit out of his reverie. He BARELY keeps his hat on.]

Oi...

[He gets a better look at the guy. He looks MUCH worse off. Reacting badly probably isn't the best plan.]

You gotta watch where you're going there.

[He holds out a hand to help him up.]

Th-thanks...

[picks himself up, and dusts off his coat]

I need to watch where I'm going...

[Luckily for Doc, Shoutaro isn't freaking out nearly as badly by this point.]

So...you're one of the people stuck here too huh? How're you holding up?

Ah, yeah... I showed up a few days ago...

This morning for me. I'm starting to get used to it...but this is no Fuuto.

[And by 'used to it' he means 'totally still kinda freaked out, but will go all Hard-Boiled anyway'.]

The wind seems...off here.

... Ah, Fuuto? Is that a planet, or...?

Planet? No...it's a city in Japan.

[Was Fuuto REALLY that small? No...Shoutaro wouldn't hear of it!]

Why was planet the first thing you settled on?

... well, I'm from a planet other than earth, and I'd never heard of it before...

You are?

[Shoutaro had to get a bit closer.]

I must say...I've met seen a human alien before. Well...aliens in general to be honest.

Ah, um, I'm not exactly human, I'm [rest of words garbled by a passing vehicle]

Ah...I see.

[The car had splashed Shoutaro with a puddle, so he shakes his fist at it.]

Still...the resemblance is quite uncanny.

Well... it makes things easier when you're on earth I suppose.

I suppose it does.

[A beat...]

Why...are you on Earth? Well...were. I don't think we're there anymore.

Ah, my crew and I were looking for something...

Too bad you didn't land in Fuuto. I'm...kind of an expert on finding things.

[He's trying not to look smug, but is failing.]

[he laughs a bit]

If the Dekaranger couldn't find it, I don't think a private detective or something would be able to... it was a bit out of the way....

[Shoutaro wasn't quite sure what a Dekaranger was, so he left it as is.]

So...you did end up finding it, if I take your wording correctly.

Yes, but... it ended up being not quite what we were looking for...

That's too bad. I do hope you enjoyed your visit though.

[This conversation WAS getting a bit weird for Shoutaro's tastes, but he decided to just swing with it. It wasn't the weirdest thing to happen to him today.]

Oh, of course! In a way, the Earth was a treasure all on its own!

I'm glad you feel that way.

[He had to smile a bit. He was feeling proud to have been part of a good host planet to these guys.]

What do you think you liked the best...umm...did I catch your name?

Don. Don Dogoier.

And I'd have to say... the people, really.

The people are definitely the best part. If you don't count the bad eggs of course. But luckily, they're mostly few and far between.

[Or at least Shoutaro would love to think so.]

And I'm Shoutaro Hidari. Nice to meet you Don.

Nice to meet you, Hidari-san.

[offers his hand]
