No. Do I seem like much of a protector? Yeesh.

[ HE'S TRYING? GOD ]
... Does it aid them, or hurt them? Or is it neutral?
no subject
Um. You investigate people right? See if they have a role or not.
no subject
... Yeah?

Keep guessing.

Tuesday.
no subject
[ though. wow. tuesday sucks. ]
I can come up with a name by then, see if there's anyone that comes to mind. What about you? Any suspicions on anybody?
no subject
[it's early! He snorts a laugh at the Higekiri thing.]
I checked Nikkari last week. I can't see all of it, weirdly-- Clue Voucher, Fuzzy Handcuffs, Ball Gag, Antidote. I know it doesn't prove anything because he had all that shit on him during trial, but there you go. Then two things that are all static - which I don't know how to fix. I'm working on it. Right now I'm theorizing it's either, uh, credits he got from breaking into somewhere, maybe, NPC bonuses, or demons. Because that works in every situation.
Speaking of, I guess I'm going to try breaking into places. Also, I'm trusting you with all of this? If you're actually a demon, please don't murder the shit out of me. I actually like you so that would suck ass.
no subject
NPC bonuses and demons are a possibility, though I'd say the latter is unlikely. But there's another one-- I know of a role that gives people items. Maybe those aren't counted as part of it? Or maybe there's a role to receive items, and those would be hidden.
[ dick is smarter than me but it's late and he's sad about escha is why these are gonna be all wrong later, don't @ me. either way-- ]
Right back at you on the demon front. [ there's a half smile on his face for a second before he turns serious ] If you break in somewhere, I'll come along with you. The last two parties got pretty severely injured exploring. I think things are only getting more dangerous every time.
no subject
I'll warn ya' before I dip my feet in your blood and run around this place full tilt to cover my crimes, don't worry about it. [Giving him a crooked grin back about the demon thing. And the offer to accompany him on a quest? That's so sweet. Dick you're such a nice boy detective.] Alright. Welcome to the party. I've been adventuring for a really long time though, you know. Kind of my hobby, next to the whole fame thing.
no subject
[ hmmmm. but now it's all horrible jokes, so: ]
That's not nearly enough of a blood trail for it to be an accurate scenario, you realize? [ because there needs to be 100% more blood for that. ] I've been a superhero since I was nine. I think I should manage not to slow you down.
no subject
[But yeah, horrible jokes for a while seems good.]
Oh, so the Boy Detective thing starts young for everyone then? That makes sense. Ours is, uh, 10 or so.
no subject
[ dick just assumes everyone with a small child hanging out with them has adopted them. is that now how it works ]
no subject
I, uh-- [Is Angus his kid? I mean. Sort of. That feels like a very vulnerable and emotionally honest thing to admit, but maybe it's a vulnerable and emotionally honest kind of day.] Yeah. We found him on a train?
[Though, his face kind of falls after a second.] Had, I guess. I think everyone I know is probably dead?
no subject
[ i mean, dick was found in a circus and jason stealing batmobile tires in an alley, can he talk. but-- also, immediate concern: ]
What? Why? What happened?
no subject
[He wasn't kidding about the long history of weird adventures. The brief moment of genuine despair seems to pass, since he quickly shoves down any sort of emotion about it and blanks out his face again.]
I left at a very bad time. Was in the middle of something very important. And, uh, I mean, we were all probably going to die? But I think without me, they either would have all died within a few hours, or jettisoned that universe for another, and I'll just never see them again? That's not, like, my ego talking, I'm just saying it was kind of important I be there. But I don't think they'd run this time.
I have a plan though. I'm kind of thinking-- all this, counts for some leveling up, right? If that happens, then there's a spell I can use. And there's like, uh, a pretty good chance I either die horribly, or a finger on a Monkey's Paw curls somewhere and I destroy a universe, or something equally terrible, or, maybe it works, and I set everything right?
no subject
[ that's a bit cliche, but it's immediately offset by, uh, everything else taako says. leveling up and spells and destroyed universes and it is. kind of a lot. dick at least seems to be following along, even with the leveling up talk, and while he has questions (like, a lot?) he doesn't think making taako explain the rules of his (universe? dimension? world?) home would be any help right now. ]
How good would you say your odds are that spell works how you want it to?
[ there's no judgment there, only curiosity-- if it's the only way, working with terrible odds is something he's done himself, but he wants to know how worried he should be for taako after all this. ]
