Investigation Day 1
Who: Investigation Team, S!Kiriko, Hapless NPCs
What: Investigating Kiriko
Where: Kiriko's Dorms
When: Sunday
Why: Time to see what they're up against.

Kiriko's quad was more of a standalone building, adjoined at the back to the rest of the dorms' common room. Considerably more private, and from the looks of it, considerably more pricey.

This only made the appearance of two uniformed girls sitting glumly on the curb outside look all the odder.

One thumbed the pad on her cell phone, looking thoroughly annoyed with whatever was or wasn't coming up on the display. The other girl held a doorknob in one hand and every few seconds, out of some kind of compulsion, twisted around to cast nervous glances at the door behind her where the knob had once fit quite snugly.

"It's Sunday, nobody's going to come today," grumbled the first.
"But what are we supposed to do? I think she might have nailed it shut..."
"We could always stay with Ayase..."

Kiriko smiled.

"Actually, I'd count that as a very good reason why you do need to respond to me." She tapped her cheek with one slender finger, chuckling to herself a little. "Actually, the next step would be you tied up on my floor with my foot on your face... that's if I didn't like you so much, Kozue-chan."

She inclined her head slightly and lifted her brows as she spoke to make a point of calling into question exactly how much she did like Kozue.

"Well, I know why you're all here, anyway." She tore her eyes from Kozue and pushed off of the door, glancing at the desk where she had been working, but her eyes were back on her captive a moment later. "It's a waste of time. And an annoying one, at that. None of you are helping us any." she smirked at the plural reference. "So, I'll tell you what - I'll send you back out, and you and the rest of them go home and leave me in peace. Or, if they don't want to leave..." She glared towards the window, then towards Kozue. "You stay here and shut up so that I can I work."

Still shaking slightly, Kozue listened, getting more and more confused: us? work? What was she working on, anyway? She spared a few glances around the room--after all, it was strewn with papers and notes. And that was... what people worked on, right? So what would a Shadow work on?

After a moment, "I bet we could just go home and let you do... whatever it is you're doing."

After all: what if they snuck into Paradise while the Shadow was busy out here terrorizing Kiriko's room-mates? Maybe they could save the real Kiriko without all of that messy fighting and game-playing. Unfortunately, this was about where Kozue's train of thought reached the end of its tracks: she had no time to trouble herself about what they'd do with the Shadow who was out here in the real world (zany twin antics? ooh! antics!), or how the rest of the team would react to quietly giving up and going home.

But, y'know, it was an alternative to physical violence, and she approved of that.
