Case 2: Flyers/Meetings

[sinistraljoker]

[Action 1: Around Town]

[If you are to walk around town today, you might see a flyer on some of the buildings or poles. If or when you read it, it'll go as follows.]

Are you tired of this town's mysteries? Do you have an inquisitive mind? Or are you having some troubles aside from the obvious ones?

Then come to Shoutaro Hidari's Detective Agency. We solve all cases Hard-Boiled Style.

If you have some information about the town you'd like to share, I'm up to building an information network. We can share with each other about what we find. Everyone is welcome to pop in, but people with investigative/minds for puzzles and the like are high up on the list.

We are located in MacCready & Sons Law Office.

[Action 2]

[Shoutaro is sitting with his back to the door, cooly waiting for people to reply. He's even added a nice sign for the agency, which thankfully the drones have yet to question him about (though he IS ready for that eventuality.). If he hears a knock at the door he'll answer.]

Come on in...

[Tsukasa just sits there and LOOKS at Shoutaro.]

You know that this is a stupid idea, right?

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

What's so stupid about it? It's a brilliant way to get a wide range of information about this place.

Re: 2

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa just raises an eyebrow at his Rider cohort.]

Yes, but you realize that most of the people here are not right in the head, correct? Or are going to mess with you like Daiki would do to me.

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

I think I'll be able to distinguish who's crazy and who's not, Decade. I AM a detective after all. And we're excellent judges of character.

[Huh? What in the heck're you talking about Shoutaro? You mess up on that all the time!]

Re: 2

[thekingofkamenriders]

[He frowns a bit.]

You can call me by my actual name, you know. I'm more than just a title.

Rumour has it that you're looking for information.

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

The rumor is correct...Miss?

Smith. Sarah Jane Smith.

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

A pleasure.

[Shoutaro has to smirk. This is the perfect opportunity to craft his image here.]

Anything you have would be extremely helpful.

[He's already started up an old-fashioned information board. Like Boss used to use.]

[chalicejoker]

[Hajime looks about as happy as he ever does as he skeptically glances around the office.]

Do you really think you're going to get anywhere with this?

Re: Action 2

[sinistraljoker]

Why not? If I don't try anything, I won't get anywhere. And you can only observe and take notes for yourself for so long.

Re: Action 2

[chalicejoker]

I suppose it's as good a use as any of your time in between this town's bouts of...strangeness.

[He's trying very, very hard not to think about the mood slime or that discomfiting census now...]

Re: Action 2

[sinistraljoker]

Better than trying to concentrate on the same casework that's been brought up to me once a week. It would be a waste of my talents...if I had any talent in lawyering.

[He looks over to the multiple folders.]

It is a good source of scrap paper though.

[Walking in because what is knocking.]

Oi, mini-Riddlers.

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

[Shoutaro sputters, and swings around too quickly for his liking as the door swings open.]

What in the world is a 'Riddler'?

[crazyclownwoman]

Friend of mine. Obsessed with riddles and mysteries. Calls himself the Riddler.

[Sits on the end of the desk and holds up one of the flyers.]

You sounds just like him.

So, you're looking for information?

[sinistraljoker]

Sorry...I'm more partial to 'Joker' than that. A nickname from back home.

[He misses his Gaia Memory right now. But he's quickly calming himself down. A VERY attractive woman is now in his office.]

I am...Miss?

[doc_dogoier]

[enters the agency, looking surprised when he recognizes Shoutarou]

A-Ah... hello again...

Re: [action 2]

[sinistraljoker]

Ah, Don. Welcome.

Re: [action 2]

[doc_dogoier]

I was um...

[clears his throat]

I was wondering if perhaps you might need an assistant.

Re: [action 2]

[sinistraljoker]

An assistant?

[He thinks it over for a second.]

Well...before I decide, what can you bring to the table?

[Might as well give it a proper interview, even if this is really impromptu.]

[questionauthority]

[Hey, check it out. There's a guy in a green suit knocking on your door with the head of his cane, opening it before you get the chance.]

Mr. Shoutaro Hidari, I presume?

Re: 2

[sinistraljoker]

You presume correctly.

[The chair is spun around, nice and slow this time.]

I assume you've come because of the ad?

[questionauthority]

You mentioned something about an information network. And people with a mind for puzzles.

[A flourish of the cane as Edward wanders into the office.]

So I suppose you could say you've piqued my interest.

[sinistraljoker]

Excellent. It's refreshing to see someone so eager.

[He likes the cut of this guy's jib.]
