Main Room
Nothing. No one's told me where we are. I think it's just a dream.
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIMain Room
I see...
-he takes a seat down on a couch-
Then have you tried leaving?
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postWell, no. Have you ever tried leaving a dream? I haven't... imagine where that would take you. You'd still be asleep, but outside the dream...
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIMain Room
Or you just wake up.
-sighs, as he leans back-
Try pinching yourself, or something.

-Shotaro wanders downstairs, stretching while he works a yawn out of his system-
Ahhhhh... Slept in... Felt like the longest sleep I've been in, and I've barely been doing anything since all that ended...
-He comes to a stop when he notices New People around-
...Ah. Newcomers huh? I'm— hah??
-He stops again and rubs his eyes upon seeing... that man...-

Huh?
-Daido looks back at Shotaro-
Do you have a problem?

Aren't you...
("...No, that's not right. Katsumi Daido died ages ago. But he looks and dresses exactly like him! I'll just... try not to call attention to it.")
Muh... Mi... Mitsuru Matsuoka?!
-He walks up a bit closer to see if he really is Katsumi Daido-
I've heard you on the radio before, I think!

-stands back up, and yes Shotaro, that is Katsumi... you can even see a hint of a gaia memory inside his jacket-
No, I have no idea who that is.
I'm Daido Katsumi.
-he narrows his eyes, like he thinks he knows what's going on-
So that only leaves the question of who you are.

...Ah— Ah! My bad, man! You know what they say, we got at least one double somewhere on Earth! Eheh...
-He clears his throat and reaches into his vest for a business card-
Shotaro Hidari. I'm a private detective.
-He holds it out for him, with a bit of apprehension-
-True enough, though, his business card does say he works for the Narumi Detective Agency in Futo-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanMain Room
Fuuto...?
-he looks at the card in surprise-
This seems a far stretch from that windy city.
I was headed over there... But now I'm here.

-SWEAT-
In my city? What kinda business d'you got there?

You say you're a private detective, huh?
Maybe you would've heard of Kamen Rider Double.
I'm trying to find him, I think he could help me.

("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH")
("WHY'S HE LOOKING FOR ME?! WHAT DOES HE WANT WITH ME???")
You think so? Well... I'm not so sure we'd have an easy time finding him. We're not in Futo right now, see. We're in some place called Sequin Land.
Library
-Nightingaaaale-
-She's perusing the room's books... or rather, she was until she felt it needed a thorough amount of cleaning-
-There's a stack of untouched medical books on one of the tables while Nightingale herself is thoroughly wiping every shelf in there-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanMain Room
I was born in Fuuto, so...
-looks out the window-
Unless some sort of hell happened, I was pretty sure that this wasn't Fuuto.
I guess it'll have to wait until I get out of... Sequin Land.
Although I don't want to let it wait for too long.

-Nightingale can feel that very specific feeling... That of a Heroic Spirit!-
-They're in the library at this very moment...-
-...-
-...Oh, Caster's looking at... a manga...?-
"..."
-Her expression is still blank, but she seems vaguely intrigued.-
-This art is far unlike what she's used to, but it's quite appealing...-
"These works of art... Fanciful... Large, bright eyes... The innocence in their expressions... Yes, this is..."
-She seems to be mumbling to herself.-
-There's no visible sign that she can sense Nightingale, but presumably she can!-
Main Room
Hah. Believe me, you already missed the hell. No, we're just in an entirely different world from Futo. Earth itself, even.
-He gestures to the room-
If you're here, it's probably because this weird house pulled you in. There's no reason behind it, it just does it because it can. It'll keep bouncing us all along with it too, wherever it goes next.
("...As much as I wanna leave Katsumi Daido in the dust... I gotta know what he's up to.")
...But who knows. I've seen Double around, maybe you'll get to see him too.
Library
-Nightingale stares intensely at Caster from the top of the ladder she's situated on-
-Contemplating... contemplating... contemplating...-
-At some point she's hovering directly over Caster's shoulder with a rag in her hand-
Pardon me.
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanMain Room
I didn't know if Double ever left Fuuto.
Considering its' where all the Gaia memories get tested...
-he stretches his arms slightly-
I guess I have to hope the house lets go of me, or we end up in Fuuto then.
Or, I guess, our Fuuto.
Instead of a lost Fuuto.

-Caster's head straightens, perking up with attention.-
-She sets the manga down, slowly turning to look behind her.-
"...Yes...?"
-This is... the Heroic Spirit from before, correct...? Hair tinted of rose, eyes vivid as ruby...-
-Caster recognizes her, for certain.-
"Is something the matter...?"

-Makes a middling gesture with his hand-
Ehhhh. Well, it's been hanging onto me for a while. But maybe we'll get lucky soon...
What do you need Double for anyway?
Library
I am have been wiping this library down. May I ask you to move your books so that I may clean this table?
-...There's no kind of murderous intent coming off Nightingale so far...-

I need Double to help me take down those who sponsored the Gaia Memories.
For the sake of the future.
-he takes out the Eternal Gaia Memory-

-...Oh!-
"My sincerest apologies... Please allow me..."
-She lifts the few books she had in front of her, and stands up... as well as pushing the chair back underneath so that it isn't in the middle of the walkway.-
-She bows her head a little.-
"...Would you like assistance...? This is such a grand undertaking for one soul... To cleanse the archives of knowledge, granting new life to a sanctuary of words and tomes..."
Main Room
-He furrows his brow upon seeing the Eternal Memory-
...I... hear from the police people who use those are called Dopants. Does that make you one of 'em?
Library
You don't need to trouble yourself. I am a very efficient cleaner.
-She starts to wipe down the desk, and without even glancing back she suddenly states-
If you understand the importance of a clean environment, however... I shall take that to mean you are certainly not a bad Heroic Spirit.
-ah, there's the business talk-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanMain Room
No, I'm a Kamen Rider- not a Dopant.

"I would not mind assisting you, but if you certain..."
-Ah, yes... It's natural that they would need to bring that up.-
-Caster's expression doesn't change, still just... seeming distant and dreamy.-
"...Good or bad, I cannot say... I merely live as I live..."
-That said...-
"...Cleanliness... It's something one can take for granted... A clean, stable, pure environment..."
-But... enough of that. She supposes she should get more to the point...-
"The nature of our summonings... It seems as though honey-steeped wishes for the Holy Grail do not call to us..."
Main Room
Huh?
-raises an eyebrow-
What are you talking about?
