[Video] Now About Those Meddling Kids

[burningblossoms]

[A video feed opens up to show a pair of teenagers, one Yukiko and Souji, standing inside an empty classroom. It’s steady, without the hallmark shaky cam that so many of these broadcasts have, and both of them are dressed up just a little more than usual. Smiling his trademark half-amused expression, Souji steps up, speaking in his best infomercial voice.]

Has this ever happened to you?

You're out and you're enjoying your day when suddenly, gasp, you discover you've accidentally dropped your Hello Kitty coin purse without noticing and don’t know where it is?

Or that one day you’ve learned that Mr. Fluffkins eloped with that handsome cat down the street and left without even leaving a goodbye note?

Or even something as simple as hearing a ghost wailing in your bathroom but being too scared to check on it?

How could you, a normal person, be expected to be solve these grand mysteries? There has got to be a better way.

[Then Yukiko steps forward, looking just a little bit more awkward, like she’s probably (definitely) been roped into these shenanigans for god only knows what reason.]

That’s right. We’re here to help you out.

[Stepping back, she sighs, shaking her head and letting her partner continue his pitch.]

The Mystery Club, founded and formed in 2017, was created to tackle every sort of thriller, secret, disappearance, you name it! Anything that needs solving, the Mystery Club is there for you.

Need to solve the case of the missing ? Mystery Club. Track down the whereabouts of that bird that stole your lunch? Mystery Club. Just want to throw a random riddle at us? Mystery Club.

We’re your modern day Sherlock Holmes.

[He finishes with a nod, as if proud of his infomercial talk. Yukiko laughs nervously, but nods at him, stepping up to the plate again]

We look forward to...uh. Helping you with your problems.

So...um. [She rubs the back of her head, unable to believe she’s actually saying this…]

Give us a call. We’re...ready to believe you.

[And then mumbled under her breath:]

I can’t believe this…

I think we did pretty good.

((OOC: Replies will come from Yukiko and Souji, 1 or both. Specify if you only want on!. A general info post can be found here. Any further questions? Feel free to ask via PM or Plurk))

[ Still has a smile after the feed goes off. ]

What do you think?

[ About anything, like how the video went, about the club, etc ]

[burningblossoms]

[Sir, why do you do this to her?]

I think you're a menace.

[An absolute menace.]

[truedetective]

This is somewhat silly. That said, I find the idea somewhat entertaining.

[burningblossoms]

Do you? We'd hoped you might be interested in joining.

[It would be good for you. Get you socialized.]

[tarotcards]

Is it at least somewhat intriguing as well?

[covenantal]

I've always wanted to solve crimes.

[ look he's ready to go let's fucking Do This ]

[burningblossoms]

Oh yeah?

We were counting on you from the beginning, you know.

[tarotcards]

But are you tough enough to solve them, Detective Narukami?

[strawberrypunch]

Why are two of the examples cat-related

[Like he doesn't already know the answer.]

[burningblossoms]

Why do you think.

[tarotcards]

Why nyat?

[notyourutopian]

Well finally!

[Eleanor is not going to pretend she's not excited.]

There's a pretty huge gap between missing purses and ghosts though...

[burningblossoms]

Yeah, it took us a while but with everything going on?

[You know, beetles and stuff...]

Can you blame us?

[tarotcards]

What if it's the ghosts who are stealing the purses?

[buncho]

i got a job! how much do you charge?

[tarotcards]

Depends on the job. What is it?

[impulsives]

ah, do you accept requests that involves mysteriously missing model kits from a closed room then?

[tarotcards]

Of course. In fact, that is a high priority case. I will personally oversee a case like that.

[burningblossoms]

I don't see why not?

[Hah hah... this is kind of cute. Reigen can't help but smile at the antics. Kids...]

Good to see new businesses popping up. What're your going rates? For reference.

[burningblossoms]

Our rates depend on the severity of the case. But it's generally not too much, unless you have us running all over town. And gas if we have to drive.

[cycloid]

You guys need a dog now
But seriously! Pretty nice idea, we gotta figure out where all my pens go whenever I drop them
By the way, I'm about to rake in some cash if I find the answer of this riddle so help me here and you get 25%

I have keys but no locks. I have a space but no room. You can enter, but can’t go outside.
What am I?

[burningblossoms]

I have a dog.

And the answer is a keyboard.

[sakeplz]

uwaaaaaaaahhh! this is so neat!

are you able to figure out what kind of divine beings a person is? because that's a fun mystery!

[Jirou. Stop. That's probably not what they meant.]

[burningblossoms]

We could but that would just be speculation.

You might be better off asking a fortune teller?

[youraffection]

r we sure this isnt just an excuse for souji 2 adopt more cats

[burningblossoms]

Well, if he wants more cats he can have them.  I intend to take other jobs too.

[protegge]

how are you gonna find a bird

[burningblossoms]

Binoculars :3

[chiseler]

isn't the whole point that there can only be one Holmes? which one of you is Watson in this scenario?

[burningblossoms]

Well, if I remember right, Watson had a cat. So.
