There's nothing to substantiate the claim, however. Mr. Jaeger couldn't vouch for the validity.

[ ...So it may or may not do that. ]

Regardless, it caught my interest, so I purchased it.

[twostringsonebow]

[Oh my god--]

Something like that could never happen. The mechanisms inside would never allow it to play backwards, and at such a specific time?

[Scoff! Scoff.]

Certainly not.

[feistytrader]

Then we have nothing to worry about.

[Silver doesn't feel the need to push it. The seed of doubt has been planted.]

[elevelvetor]

[ ...That's probably true, but it's still a little disappointing. ]

I suppose it does sound a little silly... I don't regret it though. It's still a lovely item, haunted or not.

[twostringsonebow]

[... He feels a little bad about raining on her parade like that, since it was the thing that charmed her in the first place, but. But!!]

Oh, no, it certainly is, Miss Velveteen, and... while unbelievable, the story does give it a certain bit of character. I think it was a worthy purchase and I'll look forward to hearing its lovely tune myself.

[feistytrader]

[...Well damn, if Elizabeth is going to be disappointed about it-]

Backwards at three in the morning on the third Tuesday, right? I'd be surprised if your mystery solving nature would let you leave it be.

[twostringsonebow]

It's mystifying for sure, but I don't normally deal with the seemingly paranormal, Silver. I prefer things based in reality.

[... Even if Phantom Thieves, that which could be real or not, is catching his interest as much as it had his other self in those visions...]

[elevelvetor]

I'll be the paranormal investigator of us two then.

[ A light pat to his arm. ]

Worry not. I'll stay up and listen for its tune every month until I'm satisfied that it is either haunted or not haunted.

[feistytrader]

After the past two weeks, I'm surprised you still have a hard time believing the unbelievable.

[But with that said, he looks eagerly at Elizabeth.]

So if Goro's a detective and you're a paranormal investigator, what does that make me?

[elevelvetor]

[ He's so cute when he's eager... Oh! She knows. ]

There's only one thing you could be, Silver. It's very important—almost more so than either detective or investigator. Your role is someone who motivates us, who stands by us no matter what troubles may befall our dear agency. At our darkest hour, you'll come from the shadows, holding a guiding light. Silver Bells, you are...

[ ........ ]

Our cute mascot character! [ c: ] How eagerly you looked to me for an answer reminded me of one.

[ She's not serious, probably. Her tone's as light as it usually is, so it's hard to tell, but she wouldn't really relegate him to a simple mascot character... maybe. ]

[feistytrader]

I'm not being a mascot character unless it's for something cool, like a group of superheroes or a fighting game.

[...Because this is the important part here, apparently.]

[twostringsonebow]

[Mascot character...]

Not with that hair. It's garish.

[elevelvetor]

Well... We are taking on cases that normally get overlooked, given those will be the only ones we'll be able to do until we're formally recognized, and that's rather... superhero-y, in a detective way.

[ haha did goro say something? nah. ]

[feistytrader]

Have you gotten any cases so far?

[His hair is great, okay.]

[twostringsonebow]

[y'all fuckin rude ass bitches]

I've been looking into a few things, but frankly speaking that music box is the only one we really have at the moment. There is a reason that modelling is my primary job.

[And not because he's got the looks and manners for it. It pays much better than the cases that don't make themselves available.]

[elevelvetor]

We'll have to start somewhere. [ ... ] And I have faith that you'll be able to find more for us, Akechi. Your passion is sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, given the profession you've decided is your life's work.

[feistytrader]

[...He doesn't like detective work. He doesn't like anything that has to do with the law. But at the same time, this is Goro's passion, and...

He lets out a sigh and threads a hand through his hair.]

Do you want some help?

[twostringsonebow]

[Elizabeth is getting a side eye for that, but it's quickly transformed into a look of surprise at Silver.

... But he doesn't like anything to do with the law. He's very specifically a troublemaker who spends his days generally flipping the bird at the law and those associated with it (though that might be a little bit of an exaggeration).]

Um, yes. Though I do have a knack for finding trouble, as Miss Velveteen has said in twice as many words, I... would appreciate it very much, Silver.

[feistytrader]

I talk to some interesting people at work.

[It's easier to get them to buy things if they think you have a personal interest, after all. Not to mention that people just like talking to themselves, or talking to each other like he doesn't exist. Even the red hair doesn't change that.]

If I hear about anything interesting, I'll send it your way. How's that sound to you two?

[He won't be in the business of sharing anything they don't need to know about, of course, but it is still help.]

[elevelvetor]

[ That's the dictionary definition of a detective, Goro, don't give her that— ]

It sounds like you're our informant, not our mascot. [ Hmm... ] I suppose that suits you as well, however. We'll just have to find someone else to play mascot.

[twostringsonebow]

[don't say akira don't say akira don't say]

Aoi makes for a perfect mascot, I think. They usually use animal-like creatures for that anyway.

[whew]

But I agree, it suits you. In exchange, let me handle dinner for all of us. I like cooking too much to give it up.

[feistytrader]

[Sorry, I'm a cat. I'm only friends with people who feed me.]

No. I won't be your cat.

[...He's not even going to try to explain himself, is he.]

[twostringsonebow]

[excuse me]

I'm already planning on adopting one, so there's need to assume I'm going to be spoiling you.

[elevelvetor]

[ wait hold on ]

You are? Well... [ ......... ] I suppose that's fine.

[ She'll just... take allergy medicine........ ]

Though Silver would make for a better cat... Humans are hypoallergenic, after all.

[feistytrader]

[...They can adopt cats. They can adopt ten cats. They...]

Are you allergic to cats, Liz?
