greatinspector | Case File 02 [Voice/Action, Early evening]

[Zenigata has spent the better part of the last month stalking around the village, looking surly and generally pretty cranky. Anyone who tries to bother him was pretty much ignored, as the Inspector seemed somewhat absorbed in his own thoughts. Today, however, is a little bit different. He's finally over his...brooding and grumbling and seems to have flopped down outside his apartment building in the early evening. Anyone who happens by can see that he's taken a bit of booze from one of the bars, and is just kind of flopped down, staring off into the sky with a vaguely thoughtful expression. Periodically, he rambles into the journal to nobody in particular, and he seems receptive to anyone who happens to come by, offering booze to adults]

Y'know, its times like this where I wonder why I became a cop in the first place. I mean, yea, I'm good at it and all, but that doesn't make it an easy job. I work hard, every goddamn day to keep jerks and thugs off the street, and I don't get a lick of thanks from anyone. Hell, most people back home laugh at us cops, think we are all good for nothin' lardasses who like eatin' donuts and harassing people for no good reason. But here, theres...no real need for me ta be a cop. Kinda gets me thinkin' about all the stuff I coulda done with myself besides bein' the best damn cop Interpol has. Coulda been a better husband, coulda taken better care of Toshiko, and been a better grandad too. Bah...

And thats another thing. Its damn weird being one place for so long. How do you people do it? Its kinda freakin' me out, not running off after Lupin every week, and actually having...a house instead of a hotel room. I have a feeling I should start decorating or something, and having more food around than ramen and booze.

Well... for starters, I live ten thousand meters below the ocean surface on an island surrounded by giant sea monsters.

Wait, you live under the OCEAN? how does that work?

Well... my people can breathe water just fine. It's the humans that come visit that have the most problems.

[Zenigata finally notices that he's talking to a Mermaid]
Wait, you are...what I think you are, right? and I'm not just seeing things?

That depends on what you think I am.

Mermaid? Fish lady? Not entirely human?

I'm not human at all. Just one-hundred-percent mermaid.

[She huffs a little, a bit insulted to be considered part human.]

Hey, sorry. Its not every day a guy sits outside in a weird prison on another world drinking booze and talking through a journal to a pretty mermaid.

[She blinks, blushing instantly and turning away from the journal.]

P-pretty? Me? No way.

[Zenigata laughs]

Sure, why wouldn't you be? You kinda remind me of my daughter, Toshiko. Except, y'know, with a tail.

Toshiko is a pretty name~. She must be a really sweet girl to grow up with such a kind father.

Yea...she is a good kid. I wasn't around much when she was growing up though. Kinda regret that

It's never too late to spend more time with her, though~.

Eh, she's married, and I've got a grandson. Kinda gave up all that family stuff for Lupin. Married to the force y'know

Oh... it must be difficult having a job like that. It's... sort of like being a Marine, right?

[Marine? Like Smoker?]
A Marine? Like Captain Smoker? Are you from his world too?

and yea, actually its a lot like that. I work for the governments of the world, and I go around at catch bad guys.

Uh-huh! Me and Smoker-chin are from the same world, though we didn't meet until we came to Luceti. He's probably the nicest Marine I've met.

Yea, he's a great guy. A real hound of justice.
