[Who has two metal thumbs and looks really confused? This guy. Have yet another of those giant robots that keep showing up.

This one looks distinctly like a very traditional Japanese police officer, though. He veen has a little crest on his chest that looks like the lapels of a jacket. He speaks very cautiously and is extremely formal.]

Excuse me... if anyone is here, would you mind telling me what is going on? I was resting one moment, and I just woke up here.

If this is some kind of criminal scheme, I'll let you know right now, you won't be getting away with it.

If it isn't... a little assistance and an explanation would be wonderful.

Also, if anyone has seen a child around? He's small, about nine years old, his name is Tomonaga Yuuta. He was with me before I woke here. If you've seen him, please tell me.

[He seems visibly anxious about that last part.]

Deckerd?

[engrishdetective]

Yo, Deckerd!

[engrishdetective]

[...Rather. Hm.]

done

[engrishdetective]

Deckerd. I haven't seen Boss around here, and it looks like there's only one other person from Nanamagari.

It's... sort of difficult to explain.

fffffff

[patokichi]

Gunmax!

What are you doing here? How did you- I- we end up in this place?

And... well. Try me.

[Because right now he's ready to believe anything.]

[engrishdetective]

Me? I ended up here awhile ago. Just a few days. It's been... interesting.

Based on the information I've gathered, no one seems to really know how we end up here other than "just because." I was warned that this place seems to eat memories.

Some people have been stuck here for almost a year. I'm still working on getting familiar with the layout and seeing what we can do to get out, or at least meet the lady in charge.

[patokichi]

But I just saw you yesterday.

Ah- great. Memories. You mean it will be erasing our Super A.I.?

Lady in charge?

[engrishdetective]

That's impossible, because I was here.

Something like that. The way it was describe to me, a word at a time goes away during particular "events". The "events" are triggered by a specific person and this place reacts accordingly. I'm not really sure what that means yet, but I suppose if we're here for long, we'll find out.

Yep. The Queen. She sounds like the nasty sort, to boot.

[voice]

[fuckinstoplights]

[Good Robot God where are these guys coming from? This one, though, he does remember.]

[All the more reason to keep this to a vocal response only. In hopes the police-bot has forgotten what he sounds like.]

More of you...

You won't find any answers.

[patokichi]

I just was on patrol with you last night.

That sounds bad. I don't want to forget anything. Not after all we've been through.

She's behind all this, then. I hope she knows reason.

[voice]

[patokichi]

[That is a distinctly familiar voice but...]

Shadowmaru, is that you?

[engrishdetective]

And I'm telling you that I was here, Deckerd. Believe me, I'd rather be on patrol with you.

I know. I feel the same way. A word doesn't seem like much, but after someone's been here for a year...

Not sure. People have said otherwise.

[voice]

[fuckinstoplights]

[... that's unexpected. Do they really sound that much alike?]

[he doesn't even have catchy saxophone music accompanying him]

... No.

It isn't. Were you expecting him?

[patokichi]

Hm. It's like we're in another dimension. You still exist back home. Maybe I do, too?

A year... you'd be missing so much. We can't let this happen.

We're just going to have to treat this like another case and figure it out. I have to get back. We all do.

[voice]

[patokichi]

Well- you speak like him...

Wait. Who are you?

[engrishdetective]

I don't know how it works. I've been trying to figure it out, but a lot of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I don't plan on letting it. We kind of have a lot of stuff to do back home. You know, picking on Drill Boy, listening to Duke's philosophy rants -- that sort of thing.

...I know. We'll work on it. In the meantime, Yuuta's okay with the others.

[voice]

[fuckinstoplights]

...

Someone who wants nothing more than to be left alone by you and yours.

[voice]

[patokichi]

...

[Wait just a damn minute. It dawns on him.]






Kagerou?

[patokichi]

[His anxiety is apparent in the long pause he takes.]

Where can I find you?

[voice]

[fuckinstoplights]

Hn.

You caught on much quicker than your obnoxious friend.

[engrishdetective]

I'm outside. Where are you?

[voice]

[engrishdetective]

I never even met you, shinewbie.

[voice]

[patokichi]

Kagerou! I can't believe it! You're truly alive? That's wonderful... if only Shadowmaru were here, he'd just about leap out of his plating!

[Well somebody missed out on the hostility. Though he does serious up.]

Are you alright? How did you end up here? The same way Gunmax and I did? How long have you been here?

[patokichi]

A hallway somewhere. I woke up in a room that was my own size but it looked like it was made for humans...

I'll find some stairs, as far as I can tell I'm a few floors up.

[engrishdetective]

I'll go park Gunbike and try to find you. Be inside in a few.
