Who: Ronald and the rest of you lot
Where: Near the coral
When: Probably in the morning
Style: Action but will follow you
Status: Open

[ There's a scuffle, Vatheon. His SFC is pointed to the sky but anyone would be able to hear him distinctly over the network. ]

Blimey, ow. Ah, hell... it all hurts.

[ Ronald's prodding his cheek slightly with a thumb as he gets up. Truth be told, he's an absolute wreck. His uniform's bloody and a mess, his hair's disheveled and his glasses are being groped for before being put back on his face. ]

ow... owowowowowowow... Beastly, that's what he was. Not that I'd expected mercy... cor now, hold on...

[ And then he realizes he isn't on the ship anymore. ]

This isn't the Campania. Did I fall into the ocean then?

[ There's a sigh though as he strains to sit up, finally spotting the SFC and eyeing it curiously before picking it up. ]

...Don't think anyone can hear me through this, can they?

[ And then there was an evident look of shock here. ]

Bloody hell, I wasn't expecting anyone to actually answer...

[ Ruffling his own hair a moment through to regain his composure. ]

Ah, yeah, I'm alright. Just a bit of a wreck here, sort of but I'll pull through. Don't think you've heard of the Campania, have you?

Campania..? [ do they hold gladiator tournaments there geez, bloody hell indeed just look at this guy's shirt-.. ] No, can't say that I have. I doubt that you're gonna find that place again anytime soon though. This is Vatheon. [ man, there is no way to say this that doesn't sound all kinds of ridiculous- ] And it's.. kind of somewhere in the middle of the sea.

Yeah, I kind of figured. Was on a ship before waking up here. Got into a bit of a scrap...

[ But he tries to look cheerful. ]

The name's Ronald Knox from the London Dispatch Department. Pleased to meetcha. You are...?

[ a ship, huh? he doesn't necessarily remember being around any water when he arrived and he's positive it's the same for other people, so it's a pretty big coincidence - but hey, someone had to eventually have an arrival like that, right?? ]

I'm Adachi from the Inaba Police Department— [ a beat ] you've.. probably never heard of Inaba though, haha...

Haven't been there, no... it's kind of out of our jurisdiction.

[ Thinking slightly, tilting his head. ]

I'd wager it's around Japan? What's a peeler like you doing in a place like this then, if you don't mind my asking. Unless... you've got no clue either.

Yeaaah, I don't really know what the deal is with this place-.. [ hold on, did he hear that right - ] Wait, what do you mean "peeler"?

[ should he be offended by that?? ]

[ Oh. Whoops. Not the first time, really. Awkward hair ruffle here. ]

Uh... it's just what we call a copper from my side of town. Got used to a few words here and there, I'm afraid.

Sorry 'bout that.

Huh? ..Oh, I get it! [ whoops... another foreign thing, right. ] Don't worry about it. But yeah, this place doesn't do a very good job of explaining how anyone gets here... or how to leave, either. We're all stuck here until we get sent back.

Well that's a relief!

[ There's a sigh though as he sits down near the coral. ]

Stuck here, eh? Not what I was expecting, truth be told. How long've you been here then?

Uh, let's see... [ a brief pause for recollection - ] About 2 months or so, I think? Feels like it's been way less than that though. Kinda hard to get "settled in" when there's a bunch of weird stuff happening every week. Man, the power even went out this time! Talk about inconvenient!

[ Okay now you have him worried. ]

Alright, I'll bite. What... sort of weird stuff then? Demon attacks? The bubble caving in? Talking birds?

Uhh, all of those..? Well, minus the bubble caving in part. That hasn't happened yet, at least... [ thank god. ] It's err, pretty unpredictable. I'm not sure how to explain it, actually. Oh, but they call them "curses"? Not sure how familiar you are with that kind of stuff though.

[ There's a moment where the look on his face is just incredulous. ]

Here I was going out on a limb and tossing out the first thing that came to my mind. Can't say I've seen any curses for myself but there's always a first time, eh?

[ Buuuut that's not gonna faze him. ]

Really no way of going home then?

Not that I know of... Although if you ask around I'm pretty sure that everyone else will tell you the same. They kind of make it a point about having no clear-cut exits. Makes sense if you think about it though. I mean why else would they bring us here by force if we could just leave at anytime?

Guess you've got a point there.

[ He seems to think this over a moment before suddenly brightening up. ]

Well, best to make the most of it then. Could prolly think of this as an extended holiday. Been needing one of those. Pity we're not getting paid though.

[ his expression is somewhat inscrutable, but his tone remains optimistic all the same- ]

Yeah... That's how I like to look at it, anyway. Uh, but as for the paid part, believe it or not almost everything's free here! No clue why though. Maybe it's like a return for having to put up with all of this, y'know?

[ adachi was fairly pleased upon discovering this for himself. nothing like eating something different every night for once..! ]

Free? Just as long as you're not joshing me on that, I'll prolly take your word for it that the city's not as bad as it lets on.

[ They can be optimism bros together. ]

Just as good as a paid holiday then. All expenses paid that is.

Exactly! [ he likes that analogy. ] I mean the curses are kind of annoying but they usually fix themselves in a week so it isn't too bad. And if it's not a curse you can generally count on someone else to do if for you. Lots of.. energetic types.

[ Isn't it the best analogy? ]

Well, bob's your uncle then. Best we make the most of what we've got here. City's a pretty enough sight and I'd wager there's lots to be done.

[ Brow raised though. ]

Bubble's full of gung-ho heroes, eh?

Yeah, something like that. You know how kids are. Well, most of them are kids...

[ weirdos. weirdos everywhere and of all ages. ]

Kids, eh? As long as they're old enough to fend for themselves...

[ There's a laugh though. ]

Kind of nice to see a little enthusiasm despite the circumstances though.

Makes it easier, I'll tell you that.

[ less work = a cool thing. really good cop™ ]

As long as they're not biting off more than they can chew, y'know.

[ which happens.. a lot...

not that adachi really cares but he can driveby judge. ]

[ And a laugh. ]

No kidding. Though I suppose there's its share of troublemakers round here?

I mean, apart from those curses, 'course.

[ aight time to do what adachi does best and talk about crime- ]

Yep, plenty of those, too. [ his tone changes to something more arrogant, albeit with satirical amusement- ] Every once in a while you'll get some crazy guy who thinks it's a blast to blow up his own apartment or something like that. [ ... ] Heh, that was a pretty good one!

[ laughing at his own jokes 5ever. ]

[ Can we talk about murder next, Mister Adachi? Oh please?

However, concerned look coming from Ronnie here. ]

...How does a bloke manage to blow up his own apartment? Even worse, why'd he want to anyway?
