( Hattori: )
“You don’t gotta worry about me Hakuba”
“You know, that’s when I worry the most. Ah, that reminds me! Did you see Kudo around? I wanted to tell him about the training. Miss Shirogane said she’ll be training you, Kudo and myself for whatever interest she has in the agency. We talked a few days ago.”
( ???: )
“In my experience… no. I’ve never not benefited from keeping quiet… others should learn how to do the same.”
“I noticed, according to research if a person remains silent or kept a poker face, they are either hiding something or keeping secrets. But I suppose I’d rather not poke more into that matter.”
( Slaine: )
For some reason, this person reminded Slaine of someone he once knew. Where that person was today, Slaine wasn’t sure, but it was quite a relief to feel trusted by them. He felt that it was a good first step to take, as Slaine needed more friends in Talia.
“Okay. I’ll be sure to remember that. I do have plenty of books at my house to read, too, if you want to do a book exchange.” Where was England, exactly? He learned it through his books, but he hasn’t actually visited. It sounded rather intriguing.
“What is England like? I’ve never been there. Is it much like Talia?” he has been to Japan, but Slaine hasn’t exactly travelled to other countries. He was quite isolated as a child, really.
“England is a far-off country, mostly a part of United Kingdom and the country itself isn’t close enough like Talia. I'm from London and it's very urban.” Was his immediate response and shook his head. He can really understand why he can seem to get along well with his newfound friend. “If I were to compare between both, Talia and Hawaii are a bit closer because Hawaii is a tropical island.”
He nodded at Slaine’s answer and smiled a bit. The boy seem to be a bookworm, himself too. A small smile formed on his lips. “I'd love for a book exchange sometime. I'm very much interested in the books you have."
( Harbon: )
『 A detective chasing a thief…..isn’t that somethin’ you’d be more likely to read in a book than see in real life? 』
She tried not to sound too interested in his thief-catching escapades by glossing over the topic, but in all honestly she was impressed- he was only seventeen and already doing things like that? It wasn’t something to shake a stick at, and that was coming from Harbon, of all people. Of course, if he was in that situation, then maybe she didn’t have anything to worry about herself - ifmultiple high schoolers could be trusted by the cops around here, then so could a young adult, no matter how shady she looked - and so she relaxed ever so slightly, laughing.
『 Sorry fer being so fidgety, but don’t worry about me. I don’t think it’ll be very hard for me to fit in. 』
Ha. Shapeshifting humor.
『 I can play any part you guys need. That’s what I’m kinda known for, actually- private investigatin’, anything that you might not be able to get through the proper channels. Completely legal, of course. Just…..under the table, so to speak. 』
“As romantic it may sound in books or if that’s what you think about it, it does not. Thieves are more of an infestation than being a serious crime. Fortunately for you, it’s a real job for me since I originally used to chase Kid back in Japan including other phantom thieves.”
The blond seemed very likely to get used to telling people off about the recent rumors every now and then. Kudo, Hattori and himself are capable people. This also includes Goro and Naoto too since they can solve cases professionally on their own, with or without a group.
“No harm done. I take it everyone is nervous on their first day.” Observant as a falcon, he was known to be keen in some things. Raising an eyebrow, nothing seems to surprise him anymore as he gave a small scoff.
“Then I suppose you have no problem with working in cases in the following days. Trust me, the cases these days I deal with seems less.. troublesome now.”

@phcntomist
Classes may have ended as students were out , walking out of the Charms Class. After Friday, it’s the weekends. It’s something the entire Hogwarts school population has looked forward to. Hakuba doesn’t know if his sensei or Hattori are having plans in Hogsmeade. He has his own plans, apparently. The boy hasn’t focused on his mischievous classmate--- Kuroba, was it? He and his group of friends didn’t believe in the boy when he was sorted into Gryffindor. Once the last group of students filed out of the classroom, he spotted the self-proclaimed ‘magician’ which he thought his magic tricks are phony but Kuroba was intent in proving his rival wrong in a sense. Funnily though, Hakuba didn’t talk to Kuroba that much during their whole semester except small arguments and bickers. There’s something off about his classmate. Sometimes, Hakuba can’t trust him as a friend or an ally yet. He would make it a point to avoid him.
Blocking those curious train of thoughts that might intrude his mind, Hakuba tried to shake those thoughts out of his head as he approached his sleepy schoolmate. Then, he started to nudge him, hoping that Kuroba may be awake sooner or later. What was he doing in these past, few days? Hakuba pondered. The blond felt a slight twinge of concern. It wasn’t like, he didn’t know Kuroba is Kaito Kid but he sees him merely as his pesky classmate that likes pulling pranks on his friends and sometimes, he is also his target. If he was involved in the police force, he’d be the type to never back down with a challenge. In this world with magic and fantasy, he’s not.
“Pst, Kuroba. Wake up. Classes are over. We’re suppose to be doing homework together.” If the usual waking up method doesn’t work, Hakuba doesn’t have a choice but to cast the spell, Aguamenti on the magician.
That might wake him up but for now, he has to see his method works
( Ashe Lin: )
“Oh, Yes! I am a History teacher!” She replied post haste with a smile on her. “How about you? Were you a student perhaps?” She knew that he was a detective at least but- that being all that she knows made her curious.
“A student yes, and there’s others like me too.” He replied to her question. Intriguing as it sounds, the detective nodded towards her. “I’m a student here for some time now. History is a fascinating subject.”
“Take my silence as a solid no, and move on.”
“Seems fair, but don’t you think being silent with a poker face is a bad thing sometimes?”
@curepurple
“Hm? Another cat like superhero? Apparently, you’re not the first one I encounter here. Who are you?”
@andiwillarriveviolently
“Hm? You’re a teacher in Nobella Academy, are you not? What do you teach?”
( Shizuo: )
He hasn’t really expected a teenager, though looking back, Shizuo guesses that kids these days do mature rather early. Either with excellent upbringing or shitty condition, there is no inbetween. For him, it was the latter, with his strength that he had despised and the troubles that kept on coming towards him. For Hakuba, well, let’s hope it is the former rather than the latter.
“Yep,” the blond answers, feeling a bit of a crave for a cig. “The name’s Heiwajima Shizuo. Just call me whatever you want,” as long as the teen stays polite. They aren’t in the comfortable sort of companionship yet after all; unless Hakuba is like Shinra in ways that there is nothing called ‘respect’ or ‘personal boundaries’ in that small head of his, which is a bit unlikely considering what he’s seen in the chat room. “Should I just call you Hakuba or would you prefer something else?”
“Heiwajima-san it is,” Hakuba nodded and made a mental note. He’s used to such formalities. Being raised in England has their perks. Besides, he seemed like a trustworthy person.
“I do prefer if you call me Hakuba actually, Saguru is my first name but it's not used so much.” The blond admitted. “Do you want to come in? I had to logout of the chat for this.” He asked, gesturing towards his room.
( Harbon: )
『 Yeah, I’d appreciate it. 』
He seemed nice at least, not outwardly judgmental (inwardly, she doesn’t know, but she always assumes the worst anyways when it comes to strangers). Harbon breathed out a sigh of relief; that’s one less thing to worry about, now she just hoped everyone else was the same.
『 The name’s, uh….Har- Harbon. Harbon McAllister. 』
She almost used her real name, but stopped herself. It’s not like he won’t ever find out - it’s her legal name, and it’s what she signs papers with, after all - but it’s embarrassing. Harmony-Belle is an embarrassingly cringey name to introduce yourself as. Harbon would know.
『 It’s nice ta meet you, Saguru. 』
She paused for a brief moment before rapidfire asking a series of questions; she’s too curious to help it.
『 What’s it like around here? Is there a lot a’ stuff to do? You work here, are you a cop or somethin’? How old are ya? 』
“17 years old. No, I’m not a cop or anything. I’m a Highschool detective. It's a pleasure. ” Hakuba’s past works is mostly Kid related but he would prefer if he branch out to more other specialty since KID was out of criminal activity until... Talia.
“Things has been hectic since a thief I used to chase after made himself known again in the island.” He was looking forward to have a pleasant stay in Talia but there always seem to be obstacles getting in the way.
Nodding towards her, Hakuba acknowledged her simple greeting. “There’s some Highschool detectives besides me here too. Kuroba isn’t one although he frequently visited us. You might fit in just fine here.”
( Shiro: )
❝ So, you’re the JUNIOR DETECTIVE I’ve been hearing throughout the office. I’m Shiro, pleased to make your acquaintance. So, what can I do for you ? ❞
“I think my reputation here is just nothing spectacular. Pleased to meet you Shiro, I might say there’s not much for you to do yet unless you’ll deal with tricky criminals.”
Talk Over Wine
( Lotor: )
Lotor did as he was told, washing the glasses before setting them back under the counter. He choose this job since it seemed the most entertaining- the strangest kind of people visit and leave, drinking a liquid that makes their thoughts numb. It was hypnotic to watch at points of the job, plus he made human money doing it, so it was enough for him.
His eyes refocused to what he was doing once a man came up to the counter- he must have wanted something to drink if he slipped up right in front of him.
“Ah, what would you like…sir.” He would never get used to saying sir, never. He is sure because he promised himself he wouldn’t.
Hakuba doesn’t usually drink. The fact that work has been getting to him so far, he needed a break from it sometimes. Everything here was not to his liking with some people, they can’t control their liquor habits after all.
“Just the usual wine if I may prefer what’s on the menu.” Hakuba answered honestly. “Please call me Hakuba if you’d like. What’s yours?”
Yo, @ekodadetective, there’s a man with FOOD outside!!
That’s quite a long way to get to this place, Shizuo muses, shifting his feet a little bit as he rechecks his phone yet once again after he rings the bell to a certain room. He hasn’t really bothered to really venture Talia, so this is a great chance to motivate him to actually let himself walk around a bit. Though Shizuo has never been someone who gives food out to people other than the ones he’s good friends with–mostly because why would anyone want to accept anything from the Heiwajima Shizuo? No one, that is–so this is an entirely new experience for him.
He has no one he knows of beforehand, that’s why he tries to make an effort to actually get to know someone. It gets excruciatingly lonely sometimes; his only good graces are that he’s still able to make phone calls and chat with his friends back in Ikebukuro. Shinra has been irritating, as usual.
He can only hope this one effort doesn’t end badly. This Hakuba guy doesn’t sound like a bad person in the chatroom, at the very least.
….He hopes he hasn’t gotten to the wrong room, though. That would be an awkward experience.
Upon the suggestion of his ever energetic classmate-- Ash, Hakuba did want to try the Talia chat room and he met some people there. Sometimes he felt that Kuroba and Miss Hatter was right about taking breaks for once. All the cases he worked are considered neutral and not much has happened interestingly.
If his idiot ( he’s looking at you Kaito ) of a former schoolmate decided to crash in the party like the last time, he won’t be surprised. Hakuba was surprised he’s making friends himself that he’s not sure if he’d consider Kuroba as his friend.
“Almost done,” Hakuba said, nodding after he checked himself in the mirror. Watson was patiently perched on her ‘cage’. He was set to meeting this ‘blueshi’ person-- he doesn’t mind being friends with him.
“Watson, behave will you?” The detective said to his falcon as she remained indifferent about it. The bird just gave a loud squawk in response, after hearing Hakuba’s usual lecture. Watson then flew off into the skies.
“There she goes,” Hakuba watched the bird flew gracefully until she was gone. The detective heard a door bell ring. The detective assumed that ‘blueshi’ is here with the food.
“Coming, coming.” Walking briskly, he opened the door to see the blond man with the food he saw in chat. “Sorry, I’m a bit late. Are you... ‘blueshi’?”
“ The smell of FREE FOOD calls me. ”
“Don’t even think about crashing in to this. You are not even invited.”
ekodadetective;
“That’s all you need to know besides I have dropped the Kaitou Kid case a long time ago after coming here to focus on the new agenda and on Talia’s legend.. Relax. I’m not here for you or that thief.” Saguru rolled his eyes at him. “Look, just because I know about this information, I won’t press further on the subject if it helps. I have my limits to respect someone’s privacy and their lives. I would leave you alone for that.”
He didn’t know what the Detective is planning, but it’s not enough for relief to wash over his being. Knowing Hakuba Saguru, he might be onto something else even if he told him that Kaitou Kid is off his radars FOR NOW. However, he recoiled back, holding off temper and snarls behind a mask of indifference reflected back to the London Detective. “ For now, you mean? I can’t believe you just…let go of the case. Isn’t it important to you? ” Sure, he is also curious about the island’s legends if fireflies wasn’t just a metaphor for jewels, but was it possible for a collaboration?
ekodadetective;
“I always get busy in this time of the month, personally with supernatural cases. Give me ONE good reason why I should.”
“ Because it’ll be fun? Come on, man, where’s that Halloween spirit? Lighten up. ”
“Why am I not surprised? You are persistent. Fine, fine. I’m going.”
