Alright, so, I'm following up on the case of the suicidal researcher. He's been stopped, but he's also been very hesitant to be all that talkative about what got him to that point, so the job's not done.

He asked for me to find out the name of his late pet and to find his old study partner. Something about how we would know them, since they hang around the Curti Center.

This has been proven to be more of a pain in the ass than I previously would have thought.

He's a resident at the University of Arito. Trying to get veterinary records is a dead end- on Vaikuntha, apparently, you just have a white mage throw down a spell and the problem is usually fixed.

Let me just say that I hate that I live in a world without preventative medicine for one thing.

Anyway, my next move is to ask around the university. Try to get some of his records to see what classes he might have taken, before asking around those areas to see if they recognize the man and who he might have been associated with.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

His old study partner is someone we know from Curti Center?

If it's not Jessie, then you might want to try Mogaruru. I was talking to her the other day and she mentioned she used to be a science student at a university when she was young.

Finding her records could be tricky, though. Given her Moogle obsession, I wouldn't be surprised if she changed her name at some point.

[mech_and_mutt]

But she'd still remember him, wouldn't she? If she's the right person, we could just ask her!

It'd beat trying to find some kinda paperwork to figure it out.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

I agree. Asking her directly would be the simplest way to go about it.

[defenestraighttomyheart]

Hey, most of my job requires digging through paperwork to try to find the stuff that matters.

The other bits of my job used to involve trying to shadow people jilted lovers think cheated on them.

I don't miss being a private eye.

[mech_and_mutt]

All the more reason not to try and dig through papers. Plus, if she really WAS a science student back then, there's a good chance she'd at least have known who his partner was.

Oh! See if you can get a photo of how she looks under the mask, too. I've always wondered. Can you do that, Richard?

[defenestraighttomyheart]

I cannot help but think that there is some serious irony here that you're not getting.

I'll put on the hidden camera and see what I can do.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

You could just ask her to take the mask off if you're so curious, you know.

[defenestraighttomyheart]

On a today just like this one, I had to wait until a man died in order to rifle through his pockets and get his ID because he couldn't work up the words to answer me why exactly he was feeling so horrible.

So I had to go on a magical detective goose chase.

The simple solution doesn't really work on this case, I'm gathering.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

I'm not dismissing your hard work, detective. I just don't much care for the type of guy who asks for secret pictures of women.

Really, Red Savarin. Shame on you. I wonder what Azusa would think.

[Is she really judging or just messing with him? The world may never know.]

Anyway, I don't think Mogaruru will give you much trouble. She was shockingly open-minded about the whole time loop business when we explained it to her.

[mech_and_mutt]

NO!! None of that stalker stuff! We were just talking about ASKING her, remember?!

What the heck is your problem?!

1/2

[whirluendo_of_puns]

Hmm. But you did just request a photo of her under the mask, didn't you?

2/2

[whirluendo_of_puns]

I'm just kidding, Red. Don't get your tail in a twist.


Seriously though

If you want a girl's picture, you really should just ask her yourself. ;)

[defenestraighttomyheart]

Got it. Stalk her and get a secret photo of her with her mask off.

[einspine]

WHY NOT BOTH? I ADMIT I'M NOT TOO ACQUAINTED WITH EITHER OF THEM, BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE CURTI CENTER ON AND OFF, SO I CERTAINLY DON'T MIND REACHING OUT TO ONE OF THE TWO IF IT HELPS IN ANY CAPACITY.

[defenestraighttomyheart]

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say that I would drag him over to see Jesse. I said I already did drag him to see Jesse. They didn't really recognize each other. He ate some cake. I nearly got tackled five times by security.

The loops might be getting to me.

At any rate, I'm going to play it more sane with Mogaruru and just ask her. If you want to come along, I wouldn't mind the company.
