Page 03 - P. I. Patchouli [video]
[The Guide's camera shows the door to Patchouli's room. It appears strange, however, instead of the normal white door, it's a wooden door with a smoked glass window. An eye is drawn on the window, above it the words “Private Investigator”. The camera then goes through the door and into the room. It's dark, save for a small lamp sitting on the large wooden desk straight ahead. Patchy appears to be working. That's when a voice - her voice, can be heard, though she doesn't seem to be talking on camera...]
This is a strange case. I woke this morning feeling rather healthy. More than usual, which is strange, given the fact that I had been sick the day before.
Everything appears to be different, somehow. I would say I can't tell exactly what it is, but that would be a lie.
[Cut to the Thor's hallway. For some reason, it's raining. And is rather dark. Patchy walks down the halls, the camera following parallel to catch a moving bust shot. She's wearing a dark purple fedora rather than a hat, and has a similarly-colored longcoat on. Again, her voice can be heard in narration, but she does not appear to actually be talking.]
There has been an abnormal absence of light. No matter how many lamps I turn on, there still seems to be a dreary dark haze everywhere I go. It's also raining. Inside the Thor. I did some research on recent feeds in the guide. None of them mention anything about unexplained rain.
I've experienced a phenomenon before this, the Scarlet Weather Mist case back in Gensokyo. I solved that readily, but the components of that case are impossible to apply here.
My clothing has also appeared to change. My hat is different, and my robe has been replaced with a longcoat. In itself it would not be so bad, but, as for the strangest of all...
[Zoom out, full-body shot of Patchy]
I'm wearing pants.
[Dramatic chord, fade to black. Fades in again to a bar. Patchouli is sitting at a stool, appearing to be deep in thought as she reads something on the guide.]
I've decided that sitting in my office [Office? Why am I calling my room an office?] isn't going to help me solve this case. I decided I'd need to head out into the field and investigate this on my own. There's something definitely not right on this ship. I intend to find out. I decided that the bar here would be the best source of word-of-mouth rumors and information. Little did I know what I was about to find out...
[Camera fades to black with a ominous crescendo.]
[OOC NOTE: Patchy will be in a Film Noir detective movie this week. Purple text indicates narration, where she speaks, but her mouth doesn't move to talk. Black text is normal speech. It is up to you whether you hear the narration or not.]
