It seems that with the inclusion of eight hours sleep in my schedule, time moves distressingly fast. I did not know two weeks could pass so quickly! In order to make up for this lost time, I will address several matters at once. [efficiency! ... or so he thinks anyway]

Why do humans of this Earth celebrate a holiday about a very strange imPort?

Jesus Christ, I do not appreciate your cat image attachments and it is rude to force your bizarre human holidays onto me. While I may have asked [forced] Yuma to purchase a dead pine tree to decorate with many bright lights and colorful round bulbs, it was because they were quite pretty and did not have much to do with your horribly hairy, four-legged abominations. To be honest I am reluctant to fully partake in your holiday and would appreciate it that you never send me another e-mail again.

[clears this throat] Now, onto other matters...

On November 27th, ten cards were scattered across the City. A friend of mine managed to reclaim some of them. It is of utmost importance that anyone who possesses these cards return them to me immediately.

They are dangerous. I'm aware that it is strange that something so simple could cause such devastation, but they are more than just cards.

They are pieces of my memory.

They bind to Duelists and amplify the desires in their heart; it's logical they take the form of an object only a Duelist yields.

What happened that week far exceeded my expectations. I never thought they were capable of mutating inanimate objects. I also did not know their influence could be so widespread. If you or anyone else were acting strangely during that period, it is extremely likely to be due to them.

I've been informed there are more Duelists in this world, much more than I originally thought. I urge you not handle them. While it is possible to overcome their influence on your own, such instances are rare. In my current state, I do not have power necessary to extract them from your body should they bind to you.

They are black cards and written in my native language. If you have one, Yuma will be the one to reclaim them. [translation: it is cold and I don't want to, so I'm going to make the person I threw out a window go instead]

[a beat, if you think the feed will end here you are so wrong]

...How can I make my hair stand up straight again? It continues to fall into my face, and it is very distracting.

I haven't seen any, but I could look for them. My skills and my powers would make this kind of thing easy for me.

I'm a paper master. [she turns the camera to her hand, which is holding an index card. The card folds itself into an intricate, accurate origami butterfly and flies away]

Further, paper which has strong emotion attached to it... I'd notice it. And I'd be able to distinguish it from counterfeit.

Plus, I'm a detective specializing in lost documents and papers.

I might get a strong sense of emotion. But only very vaguely.

[thinks a moment] For example, we once handled books that were basically made from a person's mind and soul. I could tell they were powerful, that they held great knowledge, but I didn't learn anything about the person, or even know who that person was. [if only she'd been able to...]

Yes, this is imPorts only.

Maggie. I'll need some information from you to get an idea of where to start looking. Would you prefer to discuss it in person?

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm in the MAC. If you want to come here I'm on the 3rd floor, 4th down the hall from the elevator.

Otherwise I can come to you.

[Maggie opens the door, waving him in. The books, they are everywhere, but especially--well, there's a kitchen table supporting the tiny cave made of books somewhere. She waves to the couch for him to sit (she remembered to clear that off before he arrived)]

[trying to remember manners] Uh, can I get you anything?

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[sits opposite him] So this happened on November 27, you said.

I need to know where it happened and how--so I can get a sense of how they might have scattered.

Also, I need to have an idea of the power they possess--you said they might influence people, so what would that look like?

I mean, once I get close to them, I think I'll know. But I need to have a good starting point.

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Where were you when they scattered?

[reaches for a card] Let's see... [it reminds her of litle Aki's cards... it wasn't ordinary, certainly--very distinctive in fact] I'd definitely know another of these if I found one.

Would these more likely to be found by a normal person or another duelist?

Okay, so I'll start a search pattern from the MAC itself. How many are still missing again?

Is it possible any strong emotions could affect the cards, insomuch as they are filled with strong emotion themselves?

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
But they'd still remain cards?

Is there anything else I should know before I start looking?

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)


Okay, thank you. What's the best way to contact you if I find anything?

[identity profile] origamiguardian.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Hopefully I'll be in touch soon. [and she's already getting out a map to consider the most likely places to look]
