This is Naoto Shirogane. I suppose I can say that I've returned, though I have no memory of this place.

[She folds her arms across her chest and looks away for a moment.]

How many of you recall my previous time here? I...apologize for not remembering you.

---------------------------------------------

[text to Ryotaro Dojima;]

When you are available, I'd like to speak with you.

[text to Kanji Tatsumi;]

I'd like to speak with you, when you have the time. I have a few questions.

[Naoto is here?]

[Naoto is here!!!]

[Oh man and she's getting right down to business as usual...he missed having others from his world around.]

[...wait.]

[Oh man she wants to speak with him already, but can he take on the pressure of doing that with just the two of them?

Why is he over-thinking it?

She's going to be so...formal about it.]

[But most importantly, will he be able to look at her and not blush? ~~no.~~

Man he should say something, he's been starring at the screen for the past ten minutes, clearly she knows he's looking and is waiting for his reply...]

O-oh uh! H-hey! Nice seein' you again. You want me to come over or something?

[Oh god no wait that sounds wrong!]

I mean uh..talk. Somewhere.

..yeah!

If you're busy, I can wait. You've been here a while- I'd like to ask you a few questions. It shouldn't take too long.

[Right down to business, as always.]

You can visit, or I can visit you. I'm in...5-09, Libra ward.

[Oh man, it really is her. This is so great!

...Confusing, but great!]

N-no I ain't busy! [Wait no that makes it sounds like he's been doing nothing.] I-i mean like I have some time and...wait did you see Libra 5-9?

[THAT'S JUST A FEW DOORS AWAY FROM HIM.]

I'm at 5-01! [But then he suddenly stops and realizes...] No wait, don't come here, it's not clean enough! [Actually it's nearly sparkling because he;s Kanji, but on the other hand, he probably feels like it's not worthy enough of her.]

C-can we just meet in the corridor or something?

[Because this is super logical!]

[5-01, noted in case she needs that information later.]

If you insist, but you could just visit me if you don't think your apartment is acceptable.

[Even if it was a mess, she's seen crime scenes a little mess isn't gonna bother her.

She normally wouldn't want to invite someone over, but she trusts Kanji and this place isn't really "home" yet- it's just a place to stay for the moment.]

A girl about Naoto's age with a lineface that rivals her own appears and speaks in a deadpan voice.

"I believe we met once or twice, but I don't believe that you did anything that would upset anyone before. Though may if I could scan you for Higgsboson particle irregularities to see if there is a scientific explanation for this?"

She wouldn't expect that she would have really upset anyone, but that was at least a relief.

A slight nod, after considering for a moment.

"I'm curious about that, myself."

"I have some analysis equipment, but to be honest, most of the mysteries like this tend to be mystical in nature and not scientific and I am ill equipped to deal with those."

[Have a wind-up robot girl on your video feed, Naoto.]

Oh! I think I met you once before! You're a friend of Yukiko-san's, right?

Edited (herp wrong icon) 2013-09-05 14:32 (UTC)

"Hmm, I see."

She nods slightly, though.

"I'd still like to see if we can draw a conclusion from it."

"Certainly. If you ever come out to the park, I am in the large space battlecruiser that is parked by the train station. I have a fair amount of analysis equipment there."

[Friend, well. Yes, they were.]

I am. She hasn't been seen on this network in some time, though. How long has she been gone?

She blinks a couple of times.

"Space...battlecruiser? That seems like it would be hard to miss. I will let you know when I'm in your area."

"Yes. It generally is, but several people have a hard time accepting that its there and try to ignore it because it doesn't quite fit in. Oh. I'm Ruri. Hoshino Ruri."

She bows slightly to the camera.

A few months now.

[Nano frowns just a little. Yukiko was one of her favorite people.]

I see. Do you know what happens to people when they leave this place?

They go back to where they came from.

[It's said with at least some confidence in the statement, but there's sort of a half questioning tone there at the end.]

[!!!!!]

Shit, you're already invitin' me into your apartment?!

I-I...[He's burning up!] S-sure why not. I'll be over in a minute! [OMFG what is he doing, how is this happening, why is he over-thnking this, he needs to go comb his hair, this is like the first time they met all over again.

Repeat after yourself Kanji. It's not a date, it's not a date, it's not a date. He'll just have to act cool. Natural. Normal.]

[And knock on Naoto's door so loudly 10 minutes afterwards that it could potentially wake up the dead. HE'S NERVOUS OKAY. NO one else on the team is here apart from Dojima but does he really count and Labrys does too, but Naoto was part of the Investigation Team and everything!

...he may be afraid she'll disappear in a puff of smoke when she opens the door too.]

[Must have been a while since anyone from the Investigation Team was here. She frowns slightly, sitting on her bed. She felt a little bad for him...being alone was difficult, sometimes.

She spent the rest of her time browsing the network, reading the replies that she had apparently left months before. Try as she might, she couldn't even recall odd dreams about such a place.

Strange.

When Kanji, with as much grace and subtlety as he usually did, knocked, she stepped for the door and straightened her shirt a bit before opening the door. Her hat was off, and her tie was off, as well. Because that's casual for lounging around in a home and reading the network.

She opened the door and looked up. Sometimes, she forgot how tall he was.]

Kanji-kun, thank you for coming over. I'll be brief. You've been here some time. Is Adachi Tohru still here?

Edited 2013-09-06 00:16 (UTC)

Naoto returns the bow.

"I'm not in the habit of ignoring the facts. If something is there, and there's proof of it, then you can't disregard that."

She nods slightly.

"I'd like to see it for myself, if that's alright."
