Our Avatars Were In A Room Together: The RP

Blue Ribbon Diner (Neil Dylandy)

(Neil then takes the folder, and has a looking through it.)

Hey... This eejit, Beefus? He's the prat who kept us out of the Lodge.

This won't do him any favours, I reckon.

Blue Ribbon Diner (Aichi)

-Aichi gets a sheepish expression in response to Neil, but nods.-

"Speaking to him about this will be difficult..."

-Considering he seemed a tad... rude to them.-

"...He was extremely difficult to speak with..."

-It's probably pretty obvious that Aichi's still a little caught up in the guy's belligerent treatment of the group.-

Graveyard

Uh huh!~ -brushes his hair, making a :3 face- Isn't it so soft and fluffy...? C'mon, everyone, feel my hair! -holds out some of his hair for people to touch-

Graveyard

...Mm?

-He looks over at Astolfo-

-He reaches out and grabs his ponytail, tugging on it-

Oi, pipe down! We're about to commune with the ghosts!...

Graveyard

Uu— uuwaaah! S-sorry!! owww...

-rubs his injured head...-

Blue Ribbon Diner

Oh yeah... Just, uh, don't call the guy a cog to his face, you might give him a complex or somethin'... I like him, I like him a lot but he's... he's got somethin' goin' on, you can kinda tell just seein' him...

(Vague concern for Nahman Jayden FBI™ visible on Logan's face as he's briefly between brownie bites... Slightly less vague concern for Aichi and his, uh... stargazing.)

...Huh. Well, uh... Lemme know what that turns up, eh kid? Between you an' the guys out doin' the fieldwork in the cemetery... we're gettin' some interesting leads. As for the hillbilly... I could lend you a hand with that, if you're thinkin' of givin' him another try.

...Mm... The fourth, late afternoon... Was shopping, supply run for hotel upkeep. Was likely at mall around that time; several stores had clearance sales advertised, useful for acquisition of groundskeeping and gardening supplies, along with new set of furniture for front lobby.

(Not missing a beat, this old man, just casually sipping at his iced cola as he speaks.)

(Mrs. deCapp just smiles and nods, returning to the back to rest her old bones.)

Graveyard

........

(just... immediately puts his little kid hand in Stolf's hair, eyes aglow.)

NO WAY, it's like a fluffy cloud...! duuuude, what's your secret...???

Ghh— Look, I'm sure he uses a good shampoo or something, can we just get this over with? Mom's gonna freak if she realizes we're out trying to contact racist ghosts!!

Uhh... Yeah, okay, lemme...

(Gracelyn puts her nervous little hand on the planchette alongside Rusty's and Gesicht's.)

...I... I have such a strange feeling, Koata... Even— erm... I... I feel I've zoned out... Has the heat gotten to me...? I just— I... I don't remember...

(The plump dweeb trails off.)

(Police sketch artist Reed Victors◊ slowly creeps up beside Shotaro and Midoriya.)

...Is this— okay, are, uh... are we doing a seance with kids???

SO! We're gonna start by asking them about the weather, right? Who's got the best ghost-asking voice?

Please, uh... just try an' be polite an' all... we don't wanna make 'em upset...

Blue Ribbon Diner

Dia stares at Shadow and blinks rapidly for a couple of seconds before chuckling.

"That's what ya focus on? I don't care about whether yer hair color's natural, my point is ya might've looked scary to 'im ." How the hell is that shade of red even naturally occurring in human hair? The girl thought to herself raising an eyebrow and staring at Shadow's face as she spun her fountain pen in her left hand before going back to a relaxed position. Machina frowned as they began to investigate Katrakis, I mean sure everyone's a suspect but it felt weird seeing them try something like this on some old hotel worker.

"I doubt old man's our guy, but I'm not FBI what do I know?" The boxer turned her sight towards Logan, the closest thing to a real "superior" in her eyes. "How many suspects we got?" Maxwell then continued to speak in an obviously unnaturally deep stoic voice for her usually chill self, imitating some sort of cartoon-ish secret service authority. "Can I look at the secret super secret secretive classified secret investigation files as a third party?"

Diner

-luis looks at dia suddenly putting herself in, poor luis has no idea how to do his job man, don't normally have third parties in and all that as far as he knows-

-he's mainly here to assist logan, dat it-

Um—Logan? Would that be alright?

Graveyard

I—I don't think so. I mean it feels chilly to me Or that might just be my back.

… I mean, I—I'm not really excited to meet any racist ghosts...

Blue Ribbon Diner (Aichi)

-Aichi gets a bit more sheepish at what Logan said about Norman.-

"O-Oh..."

-He hadn't meant any offense by agreeing with Bruce Wayne. He had meant it as a compliment.-

-And as for what Logan had to say about his lead, Aichi doesn't seem to show any sign of recognizing Logan's concern about it. If he noticed, then he's apparently doing a pretty good job of hiding it.-

"I'll be sure to let you know what I find out, Mr. Holowaty."

-He's got a good feeling about this!-

"With all of us going after these leads, I'm sure that we'll make a breakthrough!"

-...Although the idea of the other group going and performing a seance is very...-

-...Erm... Unsettling to Aichi, to say the least.-

-Shudder.-

-As for Beefus...-

"That might be a good idea... I think he might be a bit more responsive to someone..."

-He tries to figure out how to say this...-

"...Less timid than I am."

-That's the best he can get, sadly. There are a few different things he could have said, but he feels the least rude (or at the least likely to be taken as rude) would be the self-deprecation route.-

Graveyard

-Luffy rubs his neck-

Doin' that ritual chant did a number on my throat...Anyone else good at talking to ghosts??

Blue Ribbon Diner (Neil Dylandy)

We could always do a good cop/bad cop routine. ...Then again, I'm SWAT, what do I know about interrogating suspects?

Graveyard

Ehe, you're embarassing meeee!~

Oh, oh! -his hand shoots up- I know how to talk to ghosts! I know how to talk to ghosts! Pick me, pick meeee!~

Blue Ribbon Diner

"Of course," he says as his eyes drift towards the folder, blinking at the sight of its contents. "Very interesting frames. Would love to know what they mean."

Blue Ribbon

-Refer to images I posted in the Apartments for folder contents-

-Jayden nods, calmly, sipping his own tea-

Did you purchase any implements on this visit?

Blue Ribbon Diner (Aichi)

-Aichi continues looking at some of the things in the folder, and sees some of the gathered images from the video.-

"W-What...?"

-He's looking them over. Most of them are pretty much incomprehensible, but the lion ones catch his attention quickly.-

"...This is..."

-Well, this is making him feel more and more like the idea of Leo and Prince might mean something.-

"This can't be a coincidence, can it...?"

-He also looks over some of the others, but the shots, while weird, don't make much sense to him.-

-...Although the 'Can you read this?' one stands out a bit.-

"...What could these mean...? How did this get into the camera footage...?"

-Did someone tamper with it before they got to it, somehow?-

"..."

-Seems like Aichi's really trying to wrack his brain for this...-

Graveyard

"... Are we... certain that we're not about to regret this? Ghosts could be very... grumpy sleepers."

hnnn

Blue Diner Or Something

"..."

trudy glances up every now, and then back at her food, mentally taking notes

certainly a quiet one tonight

Blue Ribbon Diner (Aichi)

-Aichi's still looking over those images, trying to figure out just what they could mean.-

-He nearly sighs, and looks up.-

-It's then that he notices the quiet Trudy.-

"Um... Are you all right...?"

-He asks this with a bit of concern.-

Blue Ribbon Diner

"...?"

She looks up.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just feeling kind of... unproductive. Been feeling it for a bit."

Blue Ribbon Diner (Aichi)

-Feeling unproductive...-

"...I see..."

-Aichi empathizes, as he still worries about just how inexperienced he is.-

"I feel the same way too..."

-He's not entirely sure what he's doing, and while he has a very good hunch about that Leo thing, he's still not sure of himself all around.-

-Still, he manages to get a tiny, hopefully reassuring smile to send Trudy's way.-

"...I'm sure you're more productive to the case than you realize. It's only the first day."

-Of course, he has a hard time applying his own words to himself...-

Diner

"Ionno, everyone's gathering up such juicy evidence..."

Diner

"...Wait, did the doctor not tell anyone what he found on...good lord. He sent it to me, hold on."

-Shadow "shush"'s Dia as he pulls out his phone-

"He found corrupted text messages and an audio file. With the victim's voice on it."

Graveyard

"Nonsense, it should be me. I once conducted a similar procedure to contact the spirit of my grandfather! And I swear it worked!"

Blue Ribbon Diner

Four, goin' by the security footage. Probably a few more if we're takin' the guys from the secret society or whatever into account. As for the lookin', Dia... Can't let you do that without my permission, or at least that of the guy you're here with. Fuckin'— forgot his name already, damn it...

('NOTHER BROWNIE... nom.)

...At any rate, I'm gonna be having a good, long talk with that Beefus fucker. Poindexter got mighty spooked by him... Can't have anyone else messin' with the young agents like that.

(Gives a little smirk and "thanks, kid" kinda nod to Aichi... then frowns a bit when he gets a peek at the security camera stills.)

...This someone's fucked up idea of a student art film? How'd—...? Jesus. Guess we're not dealin' with your garden-variety freaks after all.

(And he's yet more intrigued when Shadow mentions the audio.)

Let's hear it, eh?

...Mm.

(Katrakis nods his old, gray head.)

Hoe, three trellises for the back garden, pair of shears for topiary, machete for clearing foliage around property's perimeter, and automated sprinkler timer.

(He sips his cola, a glint in his dark eyes.)

...One of said implements perhaps relevant to investigation?

(Mrs. deCapp is now slowly making for the door, apparently content to hand festivities off to her restaurant staff.)

Graveyard

I swear I— the car was...

(Small sigh, pushing up his glasses to rub his eyes.)

...Hahhh... Never mind, Koata I... I think my head is just foggy from this case... I'll shake it off, I'm certain...

(Steps towards the ouija antics, taking a deep breath.)

...HMMM... How about...!

(Points at both Astolfo and Eggman.)

You guys take turns! So, you get to ask first, Pink Guy, and then you, Grandpa, and then we'll just go back and forth! That way, the ghosts don't get tired of anyone.

(Reed awkwardly moves in next to Hanam, clearing his throat.)

...Uh. I think it'll be fine. There's... a lot of us, so even if the ghosts do act up, they'll have competition! Or something, i'unno.

Diner

"In public...fine."

-Pulls out the suspicious phone that Kintobor totally gave him offscreen and plays it-

Graveyard

"Ah, a splendid idea!"

Edited by Randomman5 on Jan 2nd 2019 at 10:03:30 AM

Blue Ribbon

Possibly. Would you recall the last time you took inventory of your gardening equipment, Mr. Katrakis?

Diner

-oh okay, whew-

-munche sbrowny when he hears about the corrupt audio-

-but then stops upon hearing it-

...

Graveyard

-poor boy has no idea if Japanese methods of ghost warding offs work with American ghosts-

-or if he can remember too many-
