ᴅᴀʀᴇᴅᴇᴠɪʟ, ʏᴏᴜ'ᴠᴇ ʜɪᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʟʟ.

Who: Akira Kurusu, Goro Akechi, Nikolai Gogol, and anyone interested in some shenanigans!
Where: A handful of locations around Aldrip
What: Akira and Goro have decided to do some people-watching to determine the identity of Gogol's farce to fake his death.
Warnings: There's a closed prompt that's gonna result in half a centimeter from death, but otherwise the only real warnings are that Goro and Gogol are involved in this log. ...probably a lot of innuendo and stupid teenager bullshittery, also.



[Picture this; it's a normal Wednesday in Aldrip, the weather is reasonable, you're going about your daily life. There's been some craziness lately, hasn't there? Some clown stole some organs, some people got messed up getting those organs back, and then some more people got messed up killing the clown. Yikes!]

[What you may not realize, is during the Killing of the Clown™️, some more things were stolen. Goro took it upon himself to steal Gogol's cloak and tablet, and... Well. As it turned out, Gogol's death was merely temporary, try as he might to convince others he was gone for good. He'd like his things back, but he's currently under the guise of an unassuming Salaryman...,]

[Cut back to this perfectly pleasant, normal Wednesday! Goro Akechi has opted to attempt to sniff out Gogol's trickery, once and for all. With the help of his partner (in crime and everything else), they have stationed themselves in separate areas of the city, connected by a seemlingly innocuous phone call, enjoying the weather and doing some good old-fashioned detective work by way of people watching. What could possibly go wrong?]

//ooc; please do not reply to this main post! comments will go up shortly for both goro and akira, as well as a third closed prompt. pick who you'd like to interact with, or hassle them both! reply to their comments for any and all sort of shenanigans, centering on your character's basic daily life in aldrip. :>

[Later in the evening there's a salary man among the crowd that Akechi walks past during one of those times he switches locations in the ever populated entertainment district. That man seems to be leaving a local diner, held within his pale hand is a vibrantly red business card. For a moment he holds it up to align naturally with where Akechi is passing, with the guise that he's squinting at the text on it.

Couldn't leave sleeping beasts lie, could you, Akechi? It's true that it had taken Gogol a little while to realize; the fatal mistake was going to his apartment to snoop without a care in the world for subtly—of course he'd been keeping eyes on it. In plain sight even. A mere five doors down the hallway.

The only real reason Akechi gets within 50 feet of a certain salary man in the first place is because that "salary man" needs to either confirm or deny the involvement of the most obvious answer in the grand mystery of who took the Overcoat. The device he spots in the young detective's hand as he switched from his own to one he's stolen is that final nail in the coffin.

With that careful hand he slips the business card in his suit's inner breast pocket. For such a boring and common looking man it's easy to slip away into the crowd.]
