[Voice] First Case [Filtered from Oracle's Danger List]

Look this should go without saying but.. but anyone who has in this city who has arrived last night, please, please be sure check the message history on your coms to see if any posts were made in your name. I understand the reality of this situation can be quite baffling as we are face what seem to be other lives but… we must examine the evidence at our hands. These communication devices that we were given are a valuable tool to finding out what friends, teammates, and relatives are here.

My name is Ken Ichijouji. I’m a specialized private investigator from Odaiba, Tokyo. In light of this rather puzzling affair, I have decided to try and make myself useful by re-opening the detective agency next to Upper West Toys on 75th. Also it has come to my attention that the building has two apartments in the back. If any recent “transports” are looking for a place to stay temporarily let me know.

I understand how… jarring this turn of events must be, but I must especially thank Lyra for helping me understand this place and my history in it. Stingmon and I are looking forward to meeting all of you in person.

Stingmon..? Wasn't he Wormmon? [Blink.]

Either way, I'm glad to see that you are adjusting to what's happened. [He gives a grin. ]

My name is Safeguard.

Nice to meet you SafeGuard. This day has been rather... strange to say the least.

Stingmon is what you could almost consider Wormmon's adult form for lack of a better word.

Strange is an understatement. [He rubs his head. He's still trying to wrap his brain around it.]

Ah.. so he -- grew up for lack of better wording?

[Ken smiles...] Tell me about it. I'm still trying to figure out my past self's life here.

More or less. Digimon during the course of their lives shift through a series of forms of different power levels. He's currently stuck in his champion state.

I don't know much, but I wish you good luck.

Oh! So he's like a powered up version of his younger self?

I understand. Are you new to the city as well?

More or less. His powers are somewhat different. He can fly and has an energy-based attack.

[He nods.] I've been here less than a month. It's-- more peaceful than back home, that is true.

[Another nod.] Oh. So, in other words, he gained a power boost. I understand now.

Yes.... more or less. But he's so much larger it's a little trickier for him to hide. Lyra's been helping with that.

I can understand the trickier to hide. Though I get the impression that many imPorts would not think twice and considering part of your powers.

I know... my best friend back home seems to have no sense of subtly.

[Laughs.] If you say so.

I work at the store during the morning, so-- so if you want to stop by, I'll be there.

[[yeah, still very unsure about this whole thing, but he's trying.]]

That sounds like a good idea... perhaps we could talk over lunch or tea.

[You can't see it but he's frowning as if sensing something is bothering the boy.]

[[there's often something bothering Bakura, sadly. He's just normally much better at hiding it]]

Un, we could! There's a cafe not too far that's pretty good. Or I have tea in the office.

Either sounds fine.

Is there anything in particular you would like to talk about?

Eh? Ah--- not really! [[awkward awkward]]

I understand... perhaps another time then.

That reminds me. I don't think I have gotten around to showing you any pictures of my family.

Eh? Your family? N--no, you haven't...

Here's my wife Miyako and my children... we just had a new son about six months ago.

Aaah, that's a big family! And everyone has a partner like Worm-- I mean, Stingmon?

[[if Ken is observant, he may notice that Bakura is putting up major a 'everything's fine' wall and his tone is very light and practiced]]

Yes they all have their own little Digimon now.

I'm trying to look for the best but, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss them. Is there anyone back home in particular that you miss back home Bakura?

It's understandable that you miss them. Having a family like that...

[[trails off, catching himself]]

Sometimes I miss my family a little, but I'm used to living apart from them, really.

Because you've spent so much time here? Or...

[He pauses for a moment.]

Maybe we could break for tea a little early?

Eh? Early? Like when?

[[subject changes, he likes those!]]

As soon as you feel ready...

... feel ready? For tea?

For Tea... coffee. Whatever you feel like talking over.

Aah-- that's not normally something that you need to feel ready for!

[[the awkward, it is near painful]]

Sometimes... sometimes not.

You miss me as I was correct?

Un... [[agrees softly]] That's not to say there's anything wrong with you are you are now being here!

No... there's not.

Are you alright? You sound a little stressed.

Eh? Ah-- I'm fine, really! It's just been-- a long few weeks, really! Nothing I can't handle!

I understand. We can talk about it over tea.

Aah--

U-- un.

[[really wasn't planning on unloading about things, or even complaining...]]

[I was maybe thinking of setting up a log tomorrow. Your call]

Or perhaps tomorrow. Whatever makes you more comfortable.

[OoC: As it's already tomorrow now, go for that? :)]

Tomorrow's fine. It's a little late now anyway.

...Ken. It's okay.

Come on over, we'll have food and talk or something.

You must be Toph... correct?

I'd like that very much. Thank you.

[Can't even say how much that really hurts, wah.]

Yeah, that's me. You've got a bed here anyway. No sense staying at the MAC.

I have a loft behind the toy store but... I appreciate your generosity.

I imagine you and your friends must miss me... as I was.

Oh.

We do, but even as a different you, you're still part of the team, so there's a place for you here.

I appreciate the sentiment.

Lyra has a feeling that things might... return to normal is soon. Or as close as this place gets to "normal."

Probably. You'll get to go back to your family, probably.

I... can't wait to see them again.

But for now I need to make the best of things.

That's what we have to do here, all the time. Make the best of it.

Well. I guess some stuff about you hasn't changed.

Time doesn't change everything...

I know. Although there are some people... some people who I doubt will seriously believe you about the comms.
