Understandable, of course. It seems we never have a quiet holiday around here.

[He gestures to a nice overstuffed leather chair with a coffee table in front of it, where he sits opposite you, setting up the tablet and hooking a keyboard into it.]

Right, so, I've got the basics of the situation that you mentioned noted down - you were detained by a blonde individual with two accomplices he derogatorily referred to as "Mr. Short" and "Mr. Small".

Would you like to start from the beginning? Go into as much detail as you can, and any dates or times would be especially helpful.

*Sitting down. she's dressed in the Domino High uniform, so she must've come straight from the school...*

Yes, one moment.

*she closes her eyes for a moment, placing a finger to the side of her head, and you get the distinct impression like she's pulling up the information manually from her mind*

The date was July 13th, 2021. Time, ranging from 4:43pm to [Undefined] due to loss of consciousness. I was outside of the "Leo Duel School" Institute, attempting to locate the person of interest that was discussed previously.

I was approached by the blonde man, who I recall having been approached over the network previously and being regarded as a "civilian", concerning my aim regarding the small crystals-- and that when I refused to give him information, saw it as a "fox hunt".

*So she has interacted with the guy before... but she continues.*

He approached me while I was attempting a search, and had his associates take me to an "interview room". I lost consciousness in-between this point, so I am uncertain as to how much time passed.

[There is a furious typing of keys as he keeps up with your dictation, nodding along, seriously.]

So you interacted with this person before over the network, before this in-person altercation. And they claimed to have information regarding the person of interest we had previously discussed.

Assuming you were put in detainment that day, that would put the detainment length at about 6 months or so.

I was released shortly before the holiday-- date: December 18th. Time of consciousness: 8:31 AM.

*so it'd have been 9 days after the whole thing with... Chacu Challhua.*

Correction: He had no visible interest regarding the person of interest. He was only interested in the crystals that are connected to them.

Continuing: When I was brought back to consciousness after the detaining, I was spoken to by a girl with purple hair. She was wearing sunglasses and a red jacket.

She claimed I had been troublesome to locate. I am not certain why.

She reiterated that she was not at liability to give me any information in exchange for my own due to "NDAs", and that I would be kept as an "asset of importance" for some time.

I told her that this would be fine, as it would not truly stop me from my goal, and she seemed to be a bit stunned as to my lack of concern.

Then she called me a "tool" and left. I asked her to knock out anyone with those crystals for me, if she saw them.

I was questioned a couple more times after that, but then I suppose someone assumed that I had been released already after giving up information, and it was never fully confirmed.

[He continues to type all this into an incident report, his brow furrowed.]

So only concerned with these crystals, and this purple-haired woman. Sunglasses, red jacket... [Did that girl who was working with Bohr have a red jacket...? Ugh.]

Did she give any other information regarding this? And what did she ask you about in particular?

She simply wished to know what information I had concerning the crystals themselves, and seemed to act as though I had been purposely avoiding her subordinates-- ah.

*she pulls away her finger*

Two names were mentioned. "Hayate" and "Hibiki".

But as noted, the major concern is that I was seen as "unrelated" to the matter outside of information known, so I refused to give information if a fair exchange could not be reached.

Hayate and Hibiki. [ He pulls out his phone, tapping quietly. Yes. Okay, that lines up with the rest of this story - looks like Hibiki has contacted her on the network before... And was likely the one who knocked her out. Or at least clearly connected. ]

And so you were then ignored until your release on December 18th, yes?

Correct.

My assumption is that, after being in captivity for a few days, I was expected to "crack" as it were and give the information for my freedom.

As I did not do that, those higher up in the... Organization? Did not realize that this had not come to pass.

Not that it was much trouble for me, but it did cause an issue with my school. *this isn't getting into the fact that she likely was not fed in any capacity during the whole thing, but you're also like, probably 60% certain this girl might be a robot or a spirit of some sort*

[Yes, her mannerisms do strike me as the type. Might as well be honest with that, as he's filing this away.]

Right, well, I suspect they would have assumed you would have pleaded with someone to free you based on starvation, but-

Pardon my forwardness, but you are an artificial construct, I would assume?

Edited 2022-01-27 20:34 (UTC)

Oh.

*she sits up straight*

Technically, yes. This body is that of an artificial construct from *she says something, but it's like it glitched-- she clears her "throat", as it were*

Apologies, information regarding this body, and who made it, appears to be blocked.

No worries, that's understandable. Just making sure I have things clear in the report.

Moving onward, this lady contacted you shortly after your imprisonment, and then you did not end up contacted again - what can you tell me about your escape from confinement?

Very little. As I was kept in captivity for some time, I felt it best to place my body into an idle mode until my sensors reactivated. As I could not establish a consistent communication with outside of the room I was kept in, it was difficult to do much else.

What I can state is that on December 9th, around-- *placing a finger to her head again* --12:18AM, my sensors went off, detecting a signature similar to the person of interest--

And then nine days later, I was released. I recall my sensors suddenly detecting movement, and when I came fully online, I was outside.

So you registered an anomaly similar to the person of interest you've been looking for on December... 9th. And then were mysteriously released nine days later.

[The day of the Challhua incident? Damn my detective's instinct.]

...What can you tell me about the readings you acquired on the 9th, out of curiosity?

The reading lasted for about 30 minutes, according to my sensors. As I was in a sealed room that blocked most signals, I could only determine that someone was in a short radius that fit the signature-- and that they were soon gone, as though running. My estimations state that my sensor would have only been able to cover the length of an average building, with the blockades in effect.

Did something of particular interest happen on the 9th?

Yes, as it happens. At roughly the time you mentioned, a supernatural incident - a man possessed by a dark god known as Chacu Challhua attempted to summon his patron through use of a citywide gylph.

[He folds the tablet back down and brings up a holographic display of the city from it.]

The epicenter of this event was "Leo Duel School", which is located... [ Ping, small blip on the LDS building.] Here.

Did you have additional sensory data at the time this happened? If so, that would allow us to pinpoint where you were being held.

Edited 2022-01-27 21:00 (UTC)

*shaking her head*

No, but with information in hand, it is quite likely I was being held within the "Leo Duel School" building itself. It was where I was initially confronted, though I was moved to a further point after my release.

I do recall a sense of something... unnatural, like a bubble had formed around an area within my radius, but as it did not match the signatures I was looking for, I only noted it as an "unusual occurrence". Though, perhaps...

Do you mind if I can see the tablet, for a moment?

A bubble...yes, that would have very likely been the containment field for Challhua. Almost certainly placing you within the building at the time of the incident, based on your own estimations of how far your sensors could reach at the time.

[He slides the tablet across the table.] Please, go ahead.

Edited 2022-01-27 21:07 (UTC)

Thank you. Please take note of anything you may see. I may not be able to recall this with full accuracy.

*as you slide over the tablet, she places her hand over where it stops, as-- lines appear on her fingers, glowing. She moves her index and ring fingers apart as the hologram of the city expands to the LDS School.

As she does, the dots appear to form: one showing herself where it'd be estimated to be "below ground"-- but also where the duel was taking place for Chacu Challhua, small signals around the building itself. But most importantly, a dark dot, that makes you think of how a blacklight would look, that seems to come into view from outside of LDS, around the back, that moves to be inside...*

[...Son of a -bitch-. Was that...?]

[He's pulled out his phone and he's currently taking notes, frowning, brow furrowed.]

I... see. I think.

*she doesn't respond, as the dot keeps moving-- having gone up, and then down, and then speeding up as though running out of the building--

before circling around, attempting other ways to get in, it seems like, before vanishing off to the end of the "range".

She then lets up, the lines vanishing.*

... did you see anything? I had to put all of my processing power into that, since I am not fully used to this function...

Yes... I think so.

I saw a dark dot circle around the backside of the LDS building and make its way inside.

I was at that exact spot that night, and I believe saw said dot, in question. But it still doesn't entirely add up, to me...

You saw the "dot"?

What exactly doesn't add up, to you?

When you were processing all that, there was a dark dot running around the building - I assume the one your scanners picked up as matching what you were looking for. But...

Well, put bluntly, they seemed like a kid, related to the researcher who was at Leo Duel School that night, so I don't have any idea how they connect to your... case, so to speak.

Oh....

*she seems disappointed at first, but then something shifts in her expression, and you realize-- she isn't disappointed in the reveal, but in the person themselves.*

Ren is definitely putting others at risk... I'd hope he'd have found a similar situation to myself...

...Ren? Hrm... [His brow furrows, quietly.]

I'm not sure I know who that is, but...

[He describes, roughly, what he saw of a certain youth attempting to clamber into the LDS window that night.]

They seemed bizzarely... driven, all things considered.
