Call the tiny detective

[It was rare to see Naoto not clean and dressed smartly. But early on that morning she could be found furiously scrubbing a damp brush against all. Wearing her normal black trousers and a white shirt that now had splotches of paint on it.

It was also rare to hear her curse in any way... Granted, growling 'damnnit' was very minor. But this was Naoto after all.

And she wasn't very happy to leave her apartment this morning and find a crudely painted stick figure in a cap and the words 'TINY DETECTIVE! FOR A LOWER PERSPECTIVE!' next to it.

She was going to keep grumbling as the paint barely came off.]


Must raise that Endurance stat
[On other mornings, Naoto was also undressed compared to normal. Though probably overdressed for the weather. Given she was wearing a full tracksuit. Because she was making an attempt. Her lack of physical prowess had been what had let her down in the tower. She'd just not had the stamina.

That was part of the reason she'd chosen to try this in the early hours. Because how many people would go to the club building at 6am? She'd noticed the gym during her brief visits.

Except... She didn't really know how to start. Her favorite sport was billards! She wasn't built for this.

Just going to do some stretches? Maybe some jogging around the outside of the court lines? Failing at situps? Oh, she just fell on her face...]



Hunting on the outskirts
[With the festival on the horizon, and a part of it taking place near the farmlands. There had been a few jobs to go and make sure there weren't any monsters, there shouldn't be any too close. But just to be safe, so there weren't any accidents.

That worked for Naoto. While she could practise her shooting at the small range, after months of fighting shadows it didn't help much. Was it the best idea? Coming out alone like this? Probably not, but she didn't want to bother her senpai. Didn't want to worry them, clearly it was best not to mention it.

Besides, she had to stand on her own two feet. Even if she was trying to get better at working as a part of a team, wasn't it best if she could be independent as well?

She could be found trying to track monsters, or maybe after

The raptors had been bold. Making their nest in an old, abandoned toolshed. Though they'd not laid any eggs yet. It was best to scare them off before that happened and they got territorial about the area. That had been the idea at least.]


Persona-!

[Buuut, they'd decided Naoto and a loud bang wasn't particularly intimidating and had started spitting fireballs at her. Summoning Yamato Sumeragi to just stand in front of her and.... He wasn't affected by the flames at all.

She huffed, frowning at the two birds. What to do? She didn't want to kill them, but if they really wanted this spot...]





Wildcard
[You can pm if you want something else or I have a plotting post here.]

[Exactly! Caitlyn didn't believe for a second that this network wasn't monitored by the Council, or at the very least, by Jerry or some other minion.]

Hmm. [Caitlyn approached the wall, using a nail to scratch at the paint. It at least gave her a clue to what it was made of, and some ideas on how to maybe get it off.]

What do you have in your pantry?

[Some basic household things might do the trick, if she had vinegar, or even baking soda. Hopefully it wouldn't come to something as harsh as a paint stripper, but if so, maybe they could find one designed for brickwork, so it wouldn't harm the bricks. But they would cross that bridge when they got there. For now, she has some ideas. This certainly wasn't the first time she had had to scrape paint off a wall.]

[It is unfortunate, but it appeared they would have to resort to something stronger. Caitlyn turned back to Naoto at her reply, then nodded.]

Alright. It looks like we'll have to use paint stripper. I was hoping to avoid it, but it doesn't appear it'll come off easily otherwise. There should be a hardware store not far from here. We could go take a look?

[She's determined now, so she's going to stick this one out until they get the wall cleaned up.]
