Case 1: Introduction of H

[tanteiotaku]

Greetings, Deadman Wonderland. I am Shotaro Hidari, Private Investigator. I know, prison is not the place one would expect to find a detective, but that's just the hard-boiled way I work.

Listen, if you ever need any help, the Hidari Detective Agency is here for you. From finding precious lost items, to protection, and anything in between. For a fee, of course.

The best way to contact me is to leave a note in the box with 'Hidari Detective Agency' written on it. Give me the basic details and a place to find you and I'll be there. I haven't been able to buy my own device for this network yet.

I look forward to showing all of you true hard-boiled investigation.

Until next time....

Oi oi oi.

Well. I did ask to come here, but I didn't get arrested on purpose...

[vaframenti]

I've always assumed that most of us didn't.

Allow me to guess. You wanted to come here because of someone else, didn't you?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

Is it that obvious?

[vaframenti]

For what other reason would one willingly volunteer themselves to the most notorious prison on earth?

Re: [text]

[tanteiotaku]

....

Well, of course. [Face saving is go.] Anyone could see that.

[vaframenti]

Your attempts are charming, detective, but I think your poker face needs some work.

[tanteiotaku]

So what if it does, huh? [There's that soft spot you were looking for, Loki.] I only took over from the Boss not long ago.

[vaframenti]

[ Thanks for giving it up so easily. ]

I meant nothing by it. It was only advice.

He must trust you a great deal.

[tanteiotaku]

[Well you did twist a knife in a fresh wound...]

[He takes a second to decide how to answer that.] Yeah.... I've got big shoes to fill.

[vaframenti]

[ Oops. ]

In that case I wish you the best of luck. There are plenty of mysteries to be solved in Deadman Wonderland.

[tanteiotaku]

I look forward to unraveling every one of them.

Starting with your name.

[vaframenti]

You've some serious resolve, don't you?

It's Loki.

[tanteiotaku]

A hard-boiled detective has to be. 'A man's life is 80% the decisions he makes. The rest is just gravy.'

[vaframenti]

... did you make that up just now?

[tanteiotaku]

No. That's something the Boss always told me.

[vaframenti]

It makes no sense.

[tanteiotaku]

Sure it does. What doesn't make sense about it? [SHUN THE NONBELIEVER]

[vaframenti]

I was following until "gravy".

[tanteiotaku]

You know, like bonus, extra, the best part. Never hear that before?

[vaframenti]

In more poetic terms, yes.

[tanteiotaku]

He never was one for poetry.

[vaframenti]

He's the more the literal sort, I take it?

[tanteiotaku]

Absolutely. Just the facts were all he needed.

[vaframenti]

That isn't a viewpoint I can argue with.
