A word of caution





Be immensely careful

Should you ingest a concoction known as a pumpkin spiced latte

IT'S COOL

[sassymaru]

Think nothing of it.

I am Shadowmaru, Independent Detective of the Brave Police.

[heir_conditioned]

Does that mean you're the counter to a cowardly police?

[sassymaru]

I... don't believe such a force exists. They would be highly ineffective, if so.

[heir_conditioned]

That was my biggest concern. I don't think we're from the same world judging by having never heard of that police force, so I wasn't sure. Do you prefer to be called Detective instead?

[sassymaru]

It would be a rare thing indeed to find someone from my own world, I've noticed.

Do not worry - Shadowmaru is my designation, and I will answer to it.

[heir_conditioned]

I'm sorry to hear it, Shadowmaru. I'm lucky that I have friends from home in this world, but I've met new ones that I'll miss when I go, too I guess. Have you been here long?

[sassymaru]

That is lucky indeed. Congratulations.

Mm, some years, yes. Yourself?

[heir_conditioned]

[Are congratulations in order? He'll take them. It's one of the reasons he's done so well, he's sure.]

Thank you.

Years? I wonder how they choose who goes and stays when people have been here years. I've been here 146 days.

[sassymaru]

Unfortunately, I am not in the position to answer such questions. I have no notion of who would make those choices.

Goodness, aren't you organized, keeping track of actual days.

[heir_conditioned]

I'm certain that if I'm here long enough, and travel enough, someone will know something. It has to be something to do with the land and I've already seen things that I never thought could exist. If you ever hear anything, I'd appreciate the heads up. Even if it seems improbable.

Thank you. I'm trying to be.

[sassymaru]

I shall endeavor to do so. Admittedly, I am not the most invested in figuring out this world's mysteries, but - should I hear anything further, I shall announce it.

[heir_conditioned]

I'll look for the announcement and will return the favour if I find anything further about this poison being sold.
