[open] - may catch-all
Who: Akechi & You
Where: here and there
What: your typical catch-all log for may!
Warnings: references to violence, guns? Akechi's dramatic ass?
1 - Early morning
[It's very early in the morning when a series of loud sounds of a gun firing can be heard at the Orchards. Some people wake up and go for a jog as a first thing in the morning: Akechi, however, decides to use his time to do some shooting practice with his handgun. He's gathered empty cans and bottles and what have you, placed them on top of the fence, using them as his makeshift targets for his practice.
He's located rather close to the infamous statues. And whoever decides to approach them will notice that two of the statues have taken a quite bit of damage. There's almost completely demolished statue on top of platform reading: "Goro Akechi, the Saviour of the Aldrip". The another statue that has gone through some remodeling is the one belonging certain Osamu Dazai. The said statue is actually in pretty OK condition, if you didn't count on the missing head.
Oh well! If that certain Radio Show is to be believed the locals would repair the statues the next day so, who cares.]
2 - It's Called Fashion
[One thing that modern people take granted for is a wardrobe of clean clothes. It had been February in Akechi's world when he had arrived here, leaving him with rather ill-suited outfit for Aldrip's climate. So, he's slowly been collecting himself a new set of clothes after getting paid for helping around the locals with their matters... Matters, which often seemed require someone to do some light, casual "detective" work for them.
With a thermos full of fresh coffee in hand, Akechi's going through the shops at the downtown, checking out the clothing available and hoping to find something that did not scream late 19th Century couture. It's just then when his eyes land on rather... eerily familiar outfit on display window]
--What?! [He lets out an involuntary shriek and drops the thermos, spilling coffee on the ground. His eyes are wide and perplexed, faint shade of red spreading over his face. Look, he's not embarrassed. Just shocked that's all.]
3 - Leopard Can't Change Its Spots
[So.. Goro Akechi had been very satisfied to bury the famous Detective Prince and leave that line of work behind him. And yet, here he was, accepting work from the locals and helping with their everyday troubles. Their issues hardly hold a candle to the crimes he'd solve back in his own world. After all, he had been more familiar with the uglier side of society and working with the violent crimes. (Okay, he might've been the true perpetrator in most of those but shhh..)
But still, the work kept him busy and it'd be to lie that he didn't find any satisfaction solving the cases. No matter how mundane they were.
He's currently sitting in one of the coffee shops, a fresh cup of coffee in front of him and going through the notes about the current case he's working on. Something about local jewelry shopkeeper finding that some of his products were missing and replaced with replicas of sorts. Akechi honestly suspected that it was the nephew he kept as a worker there behind the crime but so far there wasn't any solid proof.]
Wildcard Got something in your mind? Leave me a top level, Akechi can really be found around all around Aldrip! downtown, forest, cave, windmills etc. for plotting reach me via discord & pm.

[His voice comes out of seemingly nowhere, and the rest of him follows, slinking into the midst with his hands in his pockets and a mild grin on his face. The grin fades into startled confusion when he looks at Kotone, and he looks from her to Akechi and back a time or two.]
[Luckily for Akechi, he doesn't immediately blow his cover, but the unspoken question is clear on his face: Why is Kotone in your Metaverse Lies costume.]
no subject
[Not having a unique catchphrase, that is. She switches the positions of her hands, trying for a more dramatic sweep. The weird metal bits on the shoulders are kind of heavy, but it's not the weirdest outfit she's ever worn in the Metaverse, so could be worse.
Her smile widens in delight at the sight of Akira, though she glances back at Akechi. Makoto's not a name she's heard before, and she's curious to see how he takes the direct insult.]
no subject
Please. [He scoffs lightly and gives a small shrug. There's still hint of amusement in his voice despite the direct jab at his skill.] Your team would have been hopeless in the Casino if it wasn't for me.
[Remember the bullshit he pulled off with the coins?? Anyway! Akira's questioning look is only met with equally curious quirk of a brow. Bro, he's just as confused about this as you are.]
no subject
[Anyway, he nods to both of them, settling his weight on his heels with his hands still in his pockets and meeting Goro's quirked brow with a frown.] Maybe by your standards. By our own, we'd have done just fine, outside of your weird Mathematic Olympiad moment.
[Extracting one hand from his pocket, he jerks his thumb toward Kotone, asking the question and then smiling at her to specify that he isn't finding fault with her for this.] Any particular reason she's in your cheesy Prince Charming costume?
no subject
[Her eyes open wide in faux-astonishment -- though the tone of her voice and the sparkle in her eye hint that yeah, she been knew. A conspiratorial glance toward Akira, then she innocently continues,] Oh, so was this your Phantom Thief pose, then?
[And hup! She does it again, but this time lifts one foot up in the air to accentuate the pose and make it even sillier.]
no subject
[He counters, keeping the banter between them light enough. But then he pulls a frustrated face when Akira goes and outs him. Thank you very much. See if he's ever going to kiss you again now!!
Anyway, his face just gets longer when Kotone strikes another pose. Ugh, now you've both ruined it. But! He refuses to be embarrassed!]
I told you, I'm not a Phantom Thief. [groan directed at Kotone. Ok, a half lie there. Then he turns to Akira and tosses the half empty thermos at him.] And we don't know why it's here. Don't you find it suspicious, though?
no subject
[His grin is briefly apologetic when Akechi's expression tells him he didn't want Kotone to know the costume was his, but he shrugs gently.] You don't have to have considered yourself one-- Violet doesn't, overmuch, either. As the Leader, however, I firmly believe Once a Thief, Always a Thief.
[Looking Kotone back over, he shrugs one shoulder.] Is there any reason for this place to find it relevant? It'd have to be specific to you, or this costume, since none of the rest of them have shown up yet.
no subject
My naginata showed up here, [she mentions, resting her hand on her hip in another mirror of one of Akechi's poses.] And a photograph of my team. I don't know why.
This is the first thing of yours that's turned up?
no subject
His eyes narrow a bit at Kotone's new pose. Oh yeah, he absolutely recognizes that and can't help but feel like he's being mocked now. But then she raises a point that makes him think.
He had come across the exactly same model gun that he used in the real world. He had thought it to be strange, especially since the locals weren't familiar with, but hadn't linked it to himself before. He had assumed one of the Chosen ones had brought it and misplaced it in accident.]
They did? How curious. [He hums and rubs his chin thoughtfully. He clearly needs to investigate more. But!! Before that there's something else they need to do. He turns to look at Akira, a small mischievous gleam in his eyes.]
Let us see if we can find a black leather coat for her to wear. Then you can show her just how the leader of the Phantom Thieves acts.
