[ It’s noon, and Entranceway’s newest arrival is curious as fuck. She’ll be wandering about the gardens, snooping around the mansion, peeking in through windows, staring at the blue skies that make up the entrance hall’s ceiling, sniffing the food in the kitchen, and everything in between.

There are mysteries here, and Naoto Shirogane, ace detective, is on the case. If that means interrogating the shit out of anyone who crosses her path, so be it.

Eventually, she’ll find the communications system and, after spending a while figuring it out (it's not hard to find previous posts and others' conversations), she’ll send out a brief, private message: ]



To Souji Seta & Yousuke Hanamura--
IMPT MESSAGE:
HELLO.
ARE U THERE?
PLZ RESPOND ASAP.

Woah-- Seriously, Naoto-kun? Is that you?

[It's been ages since anyone from Inaba either than Souji and himself have been here; he's actually a little shocked. He just assumed it'd stay that way forever.]

YES.

[ Wait, give her a second. Activating the the video function of her communicator. ]

Ah, there. It's relieving to hear a familiar voice.

Can you hear me, Yousuke-senpai?

[masukukunai]

Heh, I could probably say the same thing. Yeah, I can hear you. Loud and clear.

[He looks pretty happy, all things considered.]

I guess we can always count on you to figure stuff out fast.

[tenoritantei]

[ Naoto offers the tiniest of smiles as compliment-acknowledgment. For once, Yousuke isn't teasing her. It's a Christmas miracle. ]

From what I've gathered thus far, it seems like there will be a lot of "figuring stuff out" here.

[masukukunai]

You definitely won't be needing something to do. I've been here for a year and a half and I'm still figuring stuff out.

[Ouch, uh that's not a bomb you should be dropping so soon there Yousuke. It takes a second, but the look of 'oh crap what just came out of my mouth' crosses his face in a pathetic sort of way.]

[ what ]

[tenoritantei]

What.

[tenoritantei]

[ what ]

[tenoritantei]

Yousuke-senpai, now is hardly the time for joking around. I find it in incredibly poor taste.

[masukukunai]

[Oh, this is so painful.]

I wish it was only a joke. I really, really do.

[ Embrace her "I am an incredibly grumpy cat, and I demand pets" expression.

Also known as her "Yousuke, u stuped soul, elaborate" face. ]

We were all at Aiya's only a few hours ago. [ Logical refutation to his claim. Take that. ]

video;

[masukukunai]

We were all... You don't mean-- That time?

video;

[tenoritantei]

What time? Please start making sense.

video;

[masukukunai]

Oh, sorry-- December, after we questioned Namatame and had to start from square one.

video;

[tenoritantei]

December 4th, yes. That's the date. [ Guess who doesn't really understand the full extent of crazyass timeline shit? Hint: this girl. Right here. ]

video;

[masukukunai]

Man, than we've got more catching up to do than I thought.

Did we, uh, get to where... uh... I guess there's no easy way to say this...

Souji thought that Adachi might have been the one behind everything. Had that happened yet?

[ did you just spoil the mystery? ]

video;

[tenoritantei]

[ I BELIEVE YOU DID, GOOD SIR. ]

video;

[tenoritantei]

Adachi-san? [ The inflection is obvious enough. Seriously? ]

video; /DONE

[tenoritantei]

[ But... ]

I had my suspicions, but... [ "Then that settles it," Adachi had said. It had been bothering her all month. ]

That discussion hasn't occurred. [ She hesitates to add "yet." It's hard to believe that time shenanigans are occurring. ]

video;

[masukukunai]

[Sorry Naoto, it's been two years since that happened to him and he's long since stopped labeling his spoilers.]

I know it sounds crazy at first, but... Yeah. It was him. I was amazing how quick things fell into place when we confronted him at the hospital.

[And now he's here. Only Naoto's arrival now has managed to snap him out of the funk it caused.]

video;

[tenoritantei]

Wait, wait, wait, please stop. I-- Okay. All right, if we consider for a moment that you are, in fact, actually from my future... Which is what you're implying, right? But, considering that fact, perhaps telling me what'll occur isn't the best idea?

[ There was totally a time-travel episode of Phoenix Ranger Featherman R. It taught her the dangers of such tomfoolery. ]

[masukukunai]

I get what you mean, but I don't think it'll matter. It's pretty well known that people forget everything that happened here when they leave-- there have even been people that have left and came back to prove it.
