My apartment has suffered considerable damage. I'm afraid...  I will need temporary lodging elsewhere.

If anyone would be so kind as to offer help, you will have my eternal gratitude, as well as a high discount on my services.

... Thank you.


[Meanwhile, he should really take what he managed to salvage into the bakery. It wouldn't do for people to notice he's walking around with so many weapons stuffed into a suitcase...]

[If the Phantom were the sort of person who could get amused, he'd no doubt experience a sense of mirth at the fact that a notorious assassin is homeless. As it stands, he's rather indifferent towards it. Assassins may be some of his greatest enemies, but Shelly de Killer has never lifted a finger to harm him. ...As far as he knows, anyway.

As for Bobby Fulbright, well, that's a different story. He would be incredibly sympathetic towards the unfortunate baker known as John Doe.]

It's that bad? How terrible! Can you set up a bed in the bakery, maybe?

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

That is where I will sleep if I have no other choice, yes.

Incidentally, are you safe, Mr. Detective?

[Does he really care, or is he asking out of politeness? WOULDN'T BOBBY LIKE TO KNOW.]

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

[The Phantom highly suspects that Shelly is asking because he's searching for a moment of weakness. If that's the case, he won't be getting one.]

Of course! I mean... I was out when the earthquake hit and haven't checked on my own apartment yet, but... I'm fine!

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

[Emotional manipulation? Even if that were Shelly's style... he certainly wouldn't try it, if he knew exactly who he was dealing with.]

I am pleased to hear that. [It doesn't sound like he's LYING...]

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

[That's the thing with voices. You can make them sound as sincere as you like. He should know.]

Heh. I just wish others were as lucky. But don't you worry, I'll be doing whatever I can to help anyone who suffered from this tragedy! In justice we trust!

[.............he should not have said that. He should not have said that, but it was reflex so he said it anyway.]

[Voice; man Dual Destinies spoilers are pretty much inevitable with these two]

[dekillerqueen]

[Oh, Phantom, Shelly's skillset lies in an entirely different field.]

... Anyone, you say?

[Voice; weep]

[spiritofjustice]

[Hm. Is there any way for him to back out of this? ...Oh, yes.]

Right! Anyone at all! ...I can't offer you a place to stay, because I don't even know if my own apartment is still in one piece, but I can always help with repairs!

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Ah, of course. I understand. Although, for a moment... I almost feared you had something against me.

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

Wha- Why, of course not! Justice doesn't discriminate!

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Of course, Mr. Detective. My apologies.

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

[...What a smartass.]

The bakery itself is still in one piece, right?

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Fortunately, yes. I don't know what I would have done, if that were not the case.

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

Good! That's good. The less damage, the better. And just think of all those pies that would've been crushed if the ceiling had collapsed on them. What a waste that would've been.

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Not to mention the lives that could have been lost if the damage had occurred only an hour or two later.

[Voice]

[spiritofjustice]

[Gasp!]

That would be so horrifying I don't even wanna think about it!

[Voice]

[dekillerqueen]

Indeed. Things could have been far, far worse.
