(OOC: Sorry for the past tense, I prefer to write posts like this in that format)

[Near the forest's edge, morning sunlight streamed down through gaps in the leaves, while the area resonated with the stirrings of waking animals. A stately old elm tree towered high above the canopy, a small flock of sparrows chatting away noisily. Far below at the base of the trunk was a middle aged man, snoring soundly. Across his lap was a book, and not far away an old, weather beaten hat. Completely unphased by the noises all around him, Inspector Zenigata Koichi continued to snooze. High above the veteran cop, however, murder most foul was occurring. The chirping sparrows nest was under assault by a crow, the larger bird having decided to steal a nest for itself by shoving the sparrow eggs out.

A pair of small, speckled birds eggs tumbled down and broke with a wet splattering sound....right on top of a certain Interpol agent's head. With a start, Zenigata leaped to his feet, awake at last.]

OI OI! WHAT THE HELL! [He wipes his hand through his hair, trying to clean out the bits of shell and goopy egg-white, his face red with anger]

WHATS THE BIG IDEA YOU DAMN BIRDS! HOW'D YOU GET IN MY ROO-Uhhhh....Wait a minute! This isn't my hotel room...and this damn sure isn't Monte Carlo... [Color drains from his face as the Inspector looks around in complete and utter confusion, the eggs forgotten as he notices the journal, and his hat. He picks up the journal and glares at it for a moment. He opens it up and starts looking through it, eventually finding the primary camera page.]

What the hell is this? A camera? in a book? [He fiddles with knobs and buttons for a minute, until the recording light flicks on. Clueless, Zenigata stares blankly at it for a moment as it records.]

All these crazy lights and things? Damn, what the hell did I drink last night? Musta been something strong, and I guess someone must've moved me...somewhere. Probably that bastard Lupin...playing another prank on me....

[Zenigata keeps thumbing through the journal, with occasional snippits of video coming through, along with various curses....though he eventually he realizes that his back hurts. It hurts a lot... and the journal falls onto the ground, video still going through. The middle aged cop is flailing around trying to grab hold of the wings that have mysteriously appeared on his back.]

W...w....WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?

[The Inspector knows that voice very well. He glares at the book for a minute]

Jigen? Jigen Daisuke?! {Zenigata scowls then grins because...well...theres another familiar face here] Goemon said you were here. So that makes three, but no Lupin eh? Well...so long as we're stuck here...Jigen what do you say we, y'know, work together for the time being, till we can get out of this mess and I can arrest these Malnosso characters?

[This old gunman is suddenly VERY excited to know that it is actually the Zenigata he knew and not some trick being played on his mind. A grin slips out on his lips and a chuckle in his voice.]

It really is you! [Small chuckle continues until Lupin is mentioned.] Ah--yeah. Fujiko is around too. She hasn't heard from Lupin either so it looks like he's not around here at all.

[There's hardly a moment of hesitation to the idea of working together. And though Jigen usually was fine with being alone and dealing with crap himself--at this point, he would try to keep close to anyone he knew at all.] Yeah, I can deal with that. Only until we get back home though--You are still a cop, after all. And I'm still a criminal. [Another small grin.]

[the Inspector nods] Of course. I can't exactly pardon you, but I don't have much jurisdiction to arrest you in a weird place like this with no jail, eh?

So, I know you've been here a bit longer than me, and that heartless woman isn't exactly forthcoming with information. What do you know about this...Luceti? [his voice is pretty grim, like he's going through all sorts of detective work in his head.] Goemon says we aren't on Earth anymore?

[A slight sigh at this. Unfortunately, Jigen also doesn't know a whole lot about Luceti yet either.] Honestly? I don't know too much about the place. Yeah. Goemon and I kind of decided that we aren't really on Earth anymore... And that it's run by some mysterious crowd calling themselves Malnosso--who gave us these wings, I think--and that they plan to... experiment on us at some point.

[Zenigata chuckles a bit at that] Experiments eh? That's what I heard too. What'll they do next time? Give us gills or something else like that? Whenever they do show up, I think we should have a little...surprise for them. What d'you think, Jigen? [The inspector's eyes are all lit up, imagining handcuffing some creepy scientist]

[Jigen was already considering something along those lines, so he sighs once again in agreement to Zenigata's theory.] I really hope not... [Though he suddenly seemed intrigued.] Surprise, eh? That doesn't sound half bad... but we don't even really know what we're up against yet until we see 'em.

[Zenigata nods] Yea, you got a point there, Jigen. But it never hurts to try, right? Worst that could happen is they get away and we get stuck with some fish-parts, eh? How long've you been here, anyway?

That doesn't sound like much of a loss considering the situation, so yeah we could give it a try. [Similar nod in reply.] Not too long. Goemon and myself are just settling in with the whole-... other world thing...
