IC || SECOND CASE || VIDEO

[incriminating]

[The video feed rolls, displaying one Tohru Adachi peeking over the edge of some structure...most likely the bath, if the heavy steam in the air and his sopping wet hair are anything to go by. What is visible of his expression is frozen in abject terror, his eyes round and darting back and forth from his communicator to something toward the

Comments

[video] I laughed so hard at this....

[bloodforlight]

...what are you doing, you idiot?

[video] just as planned...

[incriminating]

[The video feed clicks on once more. This time, Adachi is being held at gunpoint by the ballybog...the same ballybog who is also filming this all with a certain amount of sadistic glee. Adachi's cheeks are flushed; he is, after all, still naked.]

U-um...apparently being held h-hostage by a friendly l-local! Ahahahaha please help me.

[video] man I bet magatsu izanagi is trying to pretend he doesn't know adachi...

[bloodforlight]

[She heaves a sigh, buckling on her sword.]

[video]

[incriminating]

[The ballybog notices this and does not approve, Aureln. In fact, in a fit of displeasure, it begins to smack Adachi around with the hard nuzzle of the gun. The detective cringes and puts his hands up in self-defense.]

O-oof! H-hey! Q-quit it!

E-eyebrow lady, y-you're making it angry!

[ video ] I was like 'should I let Nanako comment to this' and then I was like.. I want dinner...

[endofdaydream]

[ How many idiots / useless guys can one place hold.. The growth in the amount never seems to fail to amaze Ange. ]

Don't tell me you actually let that thing grab your gun. [ Oh yeah, maybe she should.. do something about it, huh.. ]

[ video ]

[incriminating]

[Now the ballybog's captive, Adachi wearily answers Ange.]

What was I supposed to do? Run up to it n-naked and try to take it on without any weapon?

[ video ]

[endofdaydream]

You could have prevented it from taking it in the first place.

[ video ]

[incriminating]

Huh!? M-miss, didn't you just hear what I said? I didn't have any weapons!

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Oh god what is this dkgakljf]

E-err - sir?!

[incriminating]

[The party you are trying to reach is unavailable, due to the fact that the ballybog is now playing Dunk the Detective! There is some splashing and sputtering involved.]

[Video]

[dragon_savior]

Do you need help?

[The video shows Ryu's brand new sword, firmly gripped in his right hand.]

[Video]

[incriminating]

[Oh hey, that's a super nifty sword! Too bad it enrages ballybog into HULK SMASH.]

N-no thanks! J-just enjoying some time w-with my new f-friend!

[He is sobbing on the inside.]

[Video]

[dragon_savior]

Friends don't treat each other like that.

[The boy's voice sounds surprisingly intimidating.]

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

[Video]

[incriminating]

It's a little bit of an abusive relationship...b-but we're trying to work out the kinks.

[Adachi thinks its a sad day when you are getting reassurances from an odd boy with gravity defying blue hair.]

Um, alright!

[toplay_thefool]

[This is so absurd he could almost believe Adachi was an innocent dumbass cop all over again.]

Did you get your gun back?

[incriminating]

[This time, the video feed rolls to show the ballybog sitting on the side of the tub, rolling its eyes, with Adachi slumped over it, his chin in his hand and his expression tearful.]

...and after that, my mom never let me bring a-animals home again. B-but it was always a dream of mine...to have a pet cat, so later that year...

[Clearly, the ballybog is now the hostage. It no longer seems amused with the situation.]

[Almost for the first time, Adachi notices Souji and startles.]

Eh? My gun? Oh! Um. No...

video;

[toplay_thefool]

[Wow. He actually has no idea what to make of the scene unfolding before him.]

...Do you need a hand?

video;

[incriminating]

Actually, I think I'm okay now. Thanks for asking though!

[And with that, he returns to regaling his new friend with tales of Adachi Childhood Trauma.]
