Okay, yet another person who was normally healthy suddenly went mentally unstable for falling comatose.

That's... ugh, too many people to count in the last few days.

Something's attacking people and apparently driving them comatose.

I'd assume:

A) It's the second Numeral Hunter but all of their victims from before recovered.

B) It's Noriko but Noriko never does this and I think she thrives off of our collective shame more than put people in a coma.

C) Dark Mist???

D) Psychic-Type monsters???

It's just getting worse and worse lately...

You want to try some of the Machine World brew I got from Labrinto? Might help us think on a lead.

[isdragonlady]

Machine World tea?

Now I've heard everything.

Thoughts as to the attacks?

There's one obvious suspect except she has no reason to do it other than she's the only one who would do it except it goes against her entire moral ethos.

[becomeanwarrior]

Coffee, actually. It tastes like the future, or so I'm told. I'm a little hesitant to try it on my own - the sleep aids I got from there the other day were a little... potent.

...I don't think it's Noriko, and I'm not sure you can move me from that stance. Otherwise... I'm not sure. I've been so caught up with the Number Hunters case that I hadn't had a chance to check out the details of this.

...I can think of one other person who hasn't been around, but I can't really see why or how they'd do this.

[isdragonlady]

"The future"? What's the future taste like?

And Labrinto's stuff is at least unintentionally harmful when it does cause problems. So. Let's try it.

Well all the details so far fit her.

Who?

[becomeanwarrior]

I have no idea, let's find out.

All the details fit, but no real motive to cause trouble, wouldn't you agree?

[Private to Niyo]

Bujinki Amaterasu has been out and about the last few days. I... offended her when I asked about certain unscrupulous details. She's been sighted on the news a couple times.

[isdragonlady]

Sounds lovely.

But it's the only person we have who fits any of the details.

[Private to Onni]
So you think she might be at fault for this?

[becomeanwarrior]

Well, it can't be that bad, right?

...Maybe. But I still highly doubt it's her.

[Private]

At fault? Dunno. Involved somehow? Almost entirely likely.

[isdragonlady]

We'll find out.

I do too, but. If the glass slipper fits Cinderella's foot...

[Private]
Uggggh. I really want to go on a break with my boyfriend.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I suppose you've got a point there, Deputy Chief. Loathe as I am to admit it.

[Private]

I am really, really looking forward to the vacation time that we should be getting foor all this, I won't mince words.

[Private to Onni]

[isdragonlady]

I am demanding vacation time and I am going to get it after all this.

[Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

Hey, I'm not gonna be the one to stop you. I took a sleep aid just to get my mind to stop running with half the case files I've been pouring over.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[isdragonlady]

Give me one of those, I'll go buy blankets since we'll probably have to sleep in the office for efficiency.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

...You sure? This stuff uh. Really knocked me out.

...And I think I ended up dreaming I was some cyberpunk detective on the beat. In a seedy bar.

...But the dream was interesting, so...

Re: [Private to Onni]

[isdragonlady]

You aren't a cyberpunk detective who goes to seedy bars?

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

...

Well, when you got a point...
