The video opens on a young man adjusting his hat with a dark indoor wall as backdrop, but it seems it was turned on a bit early, as after he notices the video's on he makes a surprised noise and whacks at it until the feed turns off.
Ten seconds later, the video comes back on, and he clears his throat, tipping the hat kind of counterproductively.]
Hello. Name's Shotaro Hidari,
hardboiled private detective, of the Narumi Detective Agency. I've been spending the past month and half getting the lay of this place, but I think my partner and I are about ready to open up shop again, so here I am.
Back home we’re something like specialists. There’s a lotta monsters back in Fuuto. Obviously around here that ain’t quite how it goes, but if you’ve got need of something that needs.. [
He pauses dramatically.] A
special touch, let us know. Hell, I’ll even off--ahhh!
[
He looks up in the middle of whatever he was going on about... only to yell, and run right off the feed. The feed bobs and turns to show him being chased around the room by one of the fluffy wet sled dogs any of the Earthside Transports might be familiar with. There’s some yelling and then he goes right over a bench.
Trained professionals, everybody.]
[
A hand reaches out to the camera, and it whirls around to show Philip, who is looking incredibly amused.]
Ah, it looks as if Mrs. Darrow has received our weekly provisions. As Shotaro has said, we are private detectives. Feel free to contact either of us on the network if you wish to become a client.
[
The dog runs by and Philip gives it a cursory pat on the head and points it to where Shotaro is hiding.]
If you don’t mind that your detective is not quite as hard-boiled as he claims to be.
ooc: replies will come from both shotaro and philip!
