A general inquiry...

[justfists]

Good morning! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

I know that it's a busy time right now, and we all have something we're working on, but I received my first memory.

In it, I was tasked with looking into a rumor about these "Phantom Thieves." I wouldn't have said anything here, but I saw Phantom Thieves merchandise on my way to class.

Has anyone else heard of them? I'm... not actually sure that they're good people, so the merchandise was a little surprising.

[ the entire team is just gonna roll in here ig ]

Isn't the merch cute though?? I really want the whole set.

[ bless you, Futaba.............

he has some hope ]

[justfists]

It was pretty flashy... But probably not something I would buy, normally.

[alitaba]

I guess that's why you were asked to look into it?? As an impartial party that is. Because damn those kids and their newfangled toys getting into all sorts of trouble.

Like a fidget spinner!

[justfists]

Ah... Maybe?

[she doesn't believe it, but she's smart enough to note a panicked reaction when she sees it.

something is going on here]

[alitaba]

Yeah!! You see it on the news all the time. "Schools ban X toy for causing mass hysteria. Teachers unable to teach with students distracted by shiny"

For the record, the plushie squeaks.

[ since it's far too late to do damage control now, might as well just ramble hard enough and hope for the best ??? ]

[justfists]

[it's too late, Futaba, you're already suspicious. She's just going to bide her time and wait]

I see. Though I don't think that necessarily should involve a student council president, perhaps Japan in this world was different.

[ somewhere, in a forest Futaba screams internally ]

Anything's possible tbh. We could debate ideas for days.

And!! Since this is a ~first memory~, everything is out of context right now. The truth usually ends up odder than fiction anyway.
