001 | action & private text;

[ 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.

[ ...Sigh. He's right. But, still... Bluh. ]

If we went back and we remembered, people would think we were insane. [She's deduced this already, he's sure, but he says it anyway.] And if time didn't stop while we were gone....

[Well, she can fill in the ...]

[ She can and she does. ]

The consequences would be disastrous... In both cases. Especially the second option. Even if the rest of the Investigation Team were still in Inaba... [ He can fill in the "..." on his own, in an incredibly rhetorical manner. Because it basically means this: They can't figure shit out on their own.

Even if, apparently, Souji is from a few months in the future and the case has been (hopefully) solved, the team still needs him. ]

So, for the sake of our sanity, we'll have to trust in what others have said-- that we won't remember this place, and that time is unreliable.

[ She pauses before continuing, like she's struggling with speaking about her own emotions. ]

...I don't think I'll be able to accept those assumptions, though. There are too many possibilities. I'd need to see evidence of this first-hand before I can silence my worries. I'm sorry.

...I've seen it. Adachi's come and gone and come back.

Adachi-san? He's... [ huff huff mystery got spoiled ]

Yousuke-senpai said he was the murderer. I had my suspicions, but... is that true? Did you two figure that out here or back in Inaba? [ if you figured out the murderer here, then went back to inaba and didn't remember, that would fucking suck ok ]

In Inaba. In early December.

[ ANOTHER SIGH, this one is of relief. Hey, if she doesn't remember this place when she goes back, then that means NO MYSTERY SPOILERS. How wonderful. ]

I see. Has he attempted anything while here?

Not this time. He hasn't been here long, though.

We'll have to keep an eye on him.

...Though, I'm sure you've already come to that conclusion.

[Souji nods.]

I don't think he'll cause any trouble.

Really? [ because wow, she hasn't gone into the TV to bring him to justice yet. ]

Are there any others who would cause trouble?

No one who I've run into. But events can cause people to do things they wouldn't normally.

Events? I've heard them mentioned, but I've received no in depth details. [ She fiddles with the wings of the paper crane. If there's anything that Naoto hates more than having a lack of information, it's having to go to others for that information. ]

I can explain.

[Souji puts a hand on one hip, shifting into his normal standing around posture.]

They're based on our memories. Once, we had to camp in the woods, like we had for the school camping trip in Inaba in the spring.

Oh. [ 2 + 2 = ] And I'm assuming there are many here who have unpleasant or dangerous memories.

[A nod.]

Sometimes it's just the environment that changes, but there are times when we change too. Sometimes for the worst.

[ "We change too," ugh. That's incredibly ominous. She won't bother to ask whether or not there's a way to stop events or change them. She can figure that much out on her own. ]

Is there a way to predict them?

There are warnings when one comes. But I've never been able to decipher them.

[Though he honestly hasn't given it a lot of effort.]

I'll work on that, then. [ If there are warnings for events, maybe she'll find a trend? Who knows. ]

[Oh good. A Naoto without an investigation is like a Souji without random shit to do.]

I'm counting on you.

I'll do my best. [ Nod. give me investigations ]

Would you mind if I asked for a tour of this place? I've investigated some, but this place is impressive. I feel like there are a million nooks and crannies that I'll never discover, no matter how hard I search.

[Souji shakes his head and glances around the area.]

This floor has the kitchen, library, and music room.

[ ~*~***~*~library~*~**~**~ ]

I've seen the music room and the kitchen, but where is the library? Is the collection worthwhile? [ ARE THERE DETECTIVE STORIES???? she has a need, souji seta. she has a craving that can never be satisfied. ]

[Souji thought she'd like that one. He nods and starts to head toward the library's entrance.]

It seems like it has just about anything you might want. Sometimes it's three stories high.
