Naoto's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself falling through a black abyss, the air cold around you, although not bitingly so. Just as your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness on every side, you're dropped through a chute and tossed out into a brightly-lit area...

"Er, um, well, it's rather a long story, and ah... I-I really don't have much time to go into the details right now, but it was--ah--a murder."

Re: Clutter

..."Nanako?" Or am I getting things mixed up again...

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

She looks somber.

"Yes."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...I see.

Perhaps if you're at a standstill, gathering evidence would be more fruitful than interrogation...? At the very least, attempt a different approach.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

She leans against the wall so she's not putting weight on her leg.

"I've gathered everything I could find. But it still isn't enough, so I... I have to at least seem like I'm accomplishing something."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Maybe you could help us out for a while? You might stumble across something useful.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

She looks surprised.

"Help you? With what?"

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[pointing at her leg]

I believe you have something we are looking for.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

She looks down.

"Oh... do you want it?"

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

There's a figurine outside that's missing one, so...

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"Well... if you want to, I don't mind."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Ah, how kind of you~ Would you like to come with us? Can you detach it on your own...?

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"Well... I can't go very far, but since you need it--"

And then she cleanly breaks the leg off and hands it to you.

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[.........accepts it]

Well. Thank you very much~

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"You're welcome."

She braces herself on the wall entirely, balancing on one foot.

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[tilting her head towards Raven...]

Well, we'll do our best to find you a replacement. Surely there is something appropriate around here.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"There might be, but, um, if there isn't, it's okay."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

We shall figure something out...! It is inappropriate to leave you with only one leg.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"R-really, it's alright... I appreciate it."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

This place seems fairly high-tech, so maybe there's something that would have you zooming around and flying or so forth instead...

Well, take a break for now, will you? I shall investigate further.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"A break...?"

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Rest and take a passive role for a while, so you are re-energized to take on active interrogation.

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"I'm not certain I'm supposed to do that."

Re: Clutter

[boxupallthebutterflies]

According to whom?

Re: Clutter

[dramatispersonae]

"I... well, I'm not certain about that, either."
