"Allllllright; popcorn? Check! Blankets? Double check! Sugar biscuits? Triple check!"

Flora gazed upon the small inventory, beaming. The telly behind her was on, showing a select screen for a detective film. “Okay, we’ve got everything! Let’s start the movie!” 

She was so excited- this was a movie she hadn’t seen before, and what better way was there to watch it, that was to watch it with a friend? Charlie popped into her mind once she’d picked out the film, and now here they were, having a movie night in the flat all to themselves. 

"Ready?"

[flora-reinhold-cosplay-deactiva]

Flora’s ecstatic expression fell as quickly as a stone. "….WHAT?!?!" she practically roared in unison with Charlie. "He just-?! And they-?! UGH!!"

She snatched up the remote and prepared to stop the movie. There was no point in watching any further if that was all the film had to offer.

[defenderofparis]

The other characters followed the detective with some choice words. But if the hero was bothered, he didn’t show it. Just as Flora was about to end the video, the detective spoke up again. "You don’t really expect me to give chase on an empty stomach, do you?"

"It better be a damn good chase for that trouble.” Charlie grumbled.

[flora-reinhold-cosplay-deactiva]

Flora wrung her hands and huffed in exasperation as the detective made his ‘comeback’.

"Bloody stupid climax if I’ve ever seen one…" she growled. 

[defenderofparis]

"I think that’s supposed to mean that the movie hasn’t reached it’s climax yet…"

Charlie grumbled back. That attitude of the detective was a common source of the films comedy, but he really didn’t know when to stop. Or rather, knowing his character, didn’t care.

"Ready?"

[flora-reinhold-cosplay-deactiva]

Flora was having an absolute ball. The movie was entertaining and held the audience in suspense for the proper amount of time, enough for them to jump out of their seat after they’d just been hanging off of it. Plus, there was a lot of humor mixed in- the perfect balance.

So far, her opinion was pretty positive. Flora watched intently as the climax of the film began to approach. This was always her favorite part- the pieces of the case falling into their proper places in the detective’s mind, and off the detective goes to solve it once and for all!!

[defenderofparis]

Finally the moment where the detective reveals who the culprit is, and the movie was milking this moment for all it’s worth. It seemed that all the characters whom could make it were present, or at least the ones that mattered. The same hush that fell upon them had fallen upon the viewers as well, all waiting to hear the next words from a single person.

The detective opened their mouth and… “I think I’m going to go make a sandwich, maybe some tea.” “WHAT?!” Charlie all but screamed at the television. She had been quiet throughout the entirety of the film, but this was ridiculous.

[flora-reinhold-cosplay-deactiva]

The other characters followed the detective with some choice words. But if the hero was bothered, he didn't show it. Just as Flora was about to end the video, the detective spoke up again. "You don't really expect me to give chase on an empty stomach, do you?"

"It better be a damn good chase for that trouble." Charlie grumbled.

[defenderofparis]

"Not really…" Charlie trailed off. "There’s no direct bias against a female detective, but it’s also not that common."

Charlotte looked down at her outfit for a moment, the back to the other. “You are right about these being my work clothes, but they’re more for convenience than deception. You never know when you need to chase down a perp, or perform other activities that are similar.” Like gliding over Paris and kicking sports equipment at your victims at high velocity. 

"I guess I may have been dressing as a boy subconsciously. I can’t help but feel like it would get me a bit more respect, if it worked.” Being here all her life, a good number of citizens recognized her enough to be able to tell. “And Charlie just fits me better, I think.”

[detectivephiliac]

"I understand how that feels." For the most part, Kyouko has always been the youngest detective in the room in any given situation. Being female didn’t work in her favour either. Nowadays, all it took was a glare to shut people up, but it wasn’t always that easy…

"Respect can be a fickle thing to earn. But I’m sure if you’re determined enough, people will recognize your abilities." She paused, feeling like she should offer some… wise, sagely advice or something. They may have been close in age, but in a job like theirs, age meant nothing when compared to experience.

"Just… don’t offer sacrifices to receive that respect. Give up nothing of yourself - hold onto your values and your identity… and of course, don’t sacrifice others in your name as a Great Detective.” She bit back a smile at her own dark humour before continuing. “I’ve sacrificed much to reach this point… and I still don’t know if it was worth it. But a detective with regrets… often see a cripple in their abilities.”

[defenderofparis]

It was a bit embarrassing for Charlie to be receiving such advice from someone whom couldn't be much older than herself. Still, the other detective did seem to have a certain air about her. Maybe she had just seen more in her short life than Charlotte had? Normally the aspiring private eye would scoff at such an idea, but doing that this time seemed foolish somehow. Not to mention, the fact that Kirigiri was able to reach full detective status made it more likely.

It'd idiotic to ignore advice from a new source anyway.

"Thanks for the advice." Charlotte responded with a small smile. She was honestly grateful, and also curious. But as nosy as Charlie could be, she knew better than to ask a complete stranger about something that sounded so personal for no reason. Give her some credit.

Might as well lighten the mood since Kirigiri was on vacation, she probably came here to relax. "Hope you have a good time in Paris, it's a great city!"

[flora-reinhold-cosplay-deactiva]

"Teehee! Alright, let’s get started!" 

Flora plopped down next to Charlie, wrapping herself up in the blankets she’d claimed for herself in a similar fashion. The opening credits began to roll and she brought over the bowl of popcorn between them, munching on a few puffed kernels. 

[defenderofparis]

As the night went on, the young detective seemed to become more and more entranced by the movie.

Charlie wasn’t certain what her opinion was. the movie had it’s share of both funny and suspenseful moments, but the ending could either make or brake it. She would have to wait for the big reveal for her final verdict.

[defenderofparis]

"Oui." Charlie stated with a nod.

Which must have either looked ridiculous or adorable. Considering that she was wrapped tightly in some short of blanket volcano, hair even more ruffled than what was normal for her. Unlike usual however, the young detective couldn’t bring herself to care.

It wasn’t often that she invested her time in simply relaxing and having fun, she was honestly really excited about this movie, and so was Flora, so Charlotte figured it would be fine to look a bit childish.

And so simply snuggled deeper into her blanket and waited for what would either be an amazing experience, or a hilarious flop.

[defenderofparis]

Another me?

[defenderofparis]

"Everything’s the same for me." Except for the being too busy to spend much time looking into it part. But that was to be expected. If the other Charlotte was as much like her as she seemed, then she had probably taken on a lot of advanced courses to ensure her job as a detective. Not to mention the apparent world jumping. She’s probably taking on a a lot of extra training as well. Charlie herself was just a high school student, whoms closest thing to training she could get was her self taught skills and ‘borrowed’ case files from her father.

Ughh this wasn’t getting them anywhere, except for sedating the young detective’s own curiosity about the other her. Time for a subject change, or else they’d be here all day without making any progress to figuring out Charlotte’s problem. “Do you remember when you first started finding yourself in strange places?”

[notavigilanti-deactivated201409]

"About the same time the Phantom stopped hanging around." She frowned, pondering that. It had been quite a shock when it first happened, but now…well it was still a shock sometimes, but she’d actually gotten used to it. Just another Tuesday in-er-out of Paris to her. Though it WAS rather inconvenient. "I haven’t seen the man in at least a year or so, which makes Papa both relieved and frustrated." At least their ‘issues’ had been resolved. Mostly. He still didn’t like her bad habit of wandering off and completing unfinished case files for him…er…well, he’d started giving her some cases of her own to solve, that had smoothed things over a bit. Somewhat.

He really wished that she’d call backup more often, and had said so. She just preferred to work alone.

"Honestly I’d care more if it weren’t for the fact that he’s a pathetic thief to begin with." She’d faced more hardened criminals since then, and to be frank she’d found the Phantom to be second rate at best."Only reason I was after him so long is because capturing him would force my father to take me seriously. Now he’s taking me seriously, and past the irritation of letting the Mystere case rest so long I really don’t care.” She was…perhaps…a bit bitter at his leaving. Maybe.

Only a little.

[defenderofparis]

Charlie resisted the urge to smile, since her doppelganger probably wouldn't appreciate it. It was just that if Charlotte really was some sort of future version of her, then things would be looking would be looking up latter on.

That and the thing about Phantom R being a pathetic thief was amusing, and true. What kind of thief always returns he'd stolen? Only fictional ones as far as she was concerned, at least until he showed up. Charlie herself was convinced that the only reason her father chased him with such a passion was the thief's possible connection to the Mystere indecent, and his own injured pride.

Back to the task on hand. Seeing as the thief's disappearance was the thing that Charlotte mentioned happening around the same time her predicament started, there was a good chance that he may be involved in whatever was happening. It wouldn't be the first time he'd gotten into something unbelievable and dragged her into it as well. "Do you think Phantom R has been jumping around worlds as well?" She questioned. It was still only one possible explanation for his lack of activity, but it seemed as likely as any other. Better than nothing anyway. Charlie went on to ask. "Do you remember the last time the two of you came into contact with each other?"

Charlie was just practicing her parkour so that if she were ever to be in a face off on the roofs of Paris again, she’d be ready. If the young detective where honest she wasn’t sure that she would be able to catch a certain thief yet, but she was coming along nicely. That being said, there were always screw ups when learning a new skill.

The good news was that she wasn’t far away enough from the ground to cause any damage. The bad news was that she had collided with a by passer on her way down.

[melancholyjudgement]

The one who had ended up gloriously (un)lucky enough to take a good amount of impact from the falling girl happened to be Yuuya. Really, when people describe a girl falling from heaven - they don’t mean it literally. Sure, she probably hadn’t fallen that far, considering he didn’t feel dead from impact, but…shocking was an understatement.

Bringing himself upright, he could then see the person who’d fallen on him more clearly - at first glance, the person looked like a guy - but also a girl? He’d…figure this out in a little bit for now. The bluenette brushed some dirt off his hair and adjusted his glasses before going ahead and issuing a greeting.

"…Salutations! Are you alright…miss?" Looked like he’d go and guess girl for now.

.

[defenderofparis]

She promptly stood up and brushed herself off as well. Her expression wasn't the friendliest. She wasn't mad at the other by any means but in a situation this humiliating, what else could be expected? "Bonjour, and Sorry." Charlie replied. Not wanting to repeat what she did in words, the young detective decided to keep her response short instead.

Despite her embarrassment, Charlotte had to smile at least a little bit at the his concern. "Yes I am, thank you." In truth she had taken tumbles worse than that. She was more relieved that nobody else was hurt by her fall, and that he didn't respond with anger.

[defenderofparis]

Oh good job Charlie, you made the little girl nervous. “It’s okay.” She tried to reassure the smaller one. It wasn’t the her fault that she was short. “The crowd’s thinning out anyway.”

Now that the detective really looked at the other, she was very young. “Are you lost?” Charlie asked, trying her best to sound as gentle as she could.

[junesbiggestfan]

"Yea. I’m lost…" Nanako reluctantly spoke. "I’m… from Inaba. Is it far from here?" She looked away for a second to look around.

[defenderofparis]

Inaba... that was Japan, right? "Oui." No kidding it was far away, they were oceans from there. How did she- "You are in Paris, France. Would you like me to escort you to the constabu... police station?"

[defenderofparis]

(Hey, guess who's back! But I gotta go soon because of roomy stuff...)
