After a certain encounter with a certain phantom thief, Hibiki had found himself asking a lot of questions. Just who was that man? And how should Hibiki deal with him would the two meet again in the future? Wanting answers, Hibiki had turned to the only person he felt like could be holding them.

Now he was in Miyako’s office. He had just finished explaining in detail who he had encountered and what had happened. It didn’t feel good having to admit he had failed to do his job properly, but he was eager to learn. Surely thing would go better next time as long as Miyako took him under her wing and became his mentor.

“And that’s pretty much the whole story.” Hibiki concluded. “From what I described, do you know if we know anything about the identity of this man?

Some Things Never Change

It had been quite some time since Alcor had set foot back into Toshi City, and the first course of action was to visit one of his favourite spot. A beautiful park; an expanse of green and a wondrous example of the harmony between nature and civilization. In the months Alcor had been gone, the place had not changed.

Unfortunately...neither had its inhabitants. And he could only imagine the serenity the park offered him before a familiar, hair-raising honking raised every single hair on the back of his neck.

And he was running again, tearing his way through the park with a flock of angry geese at his heels.

With every survival instinct firing, Alcor knew first he must find a place to hide. Taking hold of the person closest to him, he ducked behind...before realizing that the figure he had chosen as his human shield was very much familiar.

“Oh...”

“Miyako Hotsuin...?”

No... He hadn’t meant to involve a dear friend in this skirmish. He tugged on her arm, an urgency in his voice as he glanced at the approaching flock.

“We must flee this place immediately!”

odd tension (chie/miYako)

Something was wrong in the halls of Toshi Defense. Our usual wonderful go-getter of a lieutenant was nowhere to be seen, instead replaced with this harried, frustrated young woman, and no one could tell you why. Not even her, though she had an inkling of what it was.

That new superintendent... There wasn't anything wrong with Miyako Hotsuin. She seemed professional and capable, so she was well-suited for the job. Everyone else seemed to love her, too-- and Chie could see why, really. But there was something that bothered her every time they passed in the hall, or her name came up in a discussion... and it was probably around the millionth yeah, she's great when she realized why.

No way around it. She just missed her old boss.

Where did you go, Chief Art? No returned calls, no messages whatsoever. Gone without a trace-- well, Chie couldn't trace him, at any rate. Was he alright? Maybe he was... nope. Nope. There was a reason for this. There had to be.

Unfortunately, the facts stood, and his position had been given away, just as he said it might. And Chie...well, she was conflicted. Though she knew it would be best to accept what was happening, she still felt a strange loyalty to Art. She had grown under him, received his praise and criticisms, and to suddenly have him replaced with a completely new person was a little much. She wouldn't be calling Miyako-san 'Chief' any time soon, that was for sure. And what was this about her moving straight to Superintendent? Chie hadn't really been shooting for the job herself (at least not as long as Art had occupied it), but it was still a bit of a blow for this new girl to jump straight there after just arriving, Hotsuin blood or not. (Wait, Art did that, too? I'm sure he was... overly-qualified...)

But there was no denying that Miyako Hotsuin was the new superintendent of Toshi City's Defense Force and Chie's new direct superior, and so she knew she just had to get past herself. Asking for Art to come back was more and more becoming a childish wish. So, with a sigh (no doubt a surprising sound to anyone nearby), Chie lifted herself from her seat in the break room and made her way to the office next to hers.

The office that used to be Art's...

Knock, knock.

    Maybe he could get punched for it; but Jae-ha was one to take a chance. After work, he had the habit of buying a cake but not for himself. The whole purpose was to find someone at complete random on the street and gift them with said cake. Why? More like why not? There were times that he was painfully rejected (he tried not to take it to heart, though), where he ended up having to bring the cake home. On another hand, it really was a nice gesture, and he usually received charming smiles and sometimes even a number and a potential date in the future.

    Keeping his little tradition in tact, Jae-ha packed a cake into a small delivery box and headed out, hoping he would find someone worthy of one of his delicious pastries. The streets were relatively scarce, rending the job a bit more difficult, as Jae-ha's eyes lazily scanned the area. Hm, maybe he'd need to do a bit more walking before he'd find his next victim--, er, customer... As if on cue, came exactly what he was looking for. He swerved around, to stand in front of her path.

    "Hey miss. Did you have a long day?" And held out the cake to her, "Care for some cake? I'm sure it'll brighten up that pretty face of yours ♪" Jae-ha made sure that he used the branded logo boxes-- to ensure that he wasn't some kind of scam. But then again, since he came off rather forcefullly others had their doubts. Hopefully they wouldn't punch him, or anything (not like... that's happened ... before...)

"Alcor-san…! Over the past several days, I have been informed of Valentine’s Day tradition and what it entails…and I have been led to believe a gift such as this is befitting of what I wish to convey.”

She holds out the gift-wrapped box, a warm smile on her face. "You are an important person to me, and I am glad that I was able to meet you again. Happy Valentine’s Day, Alcor-san."

"These are..."

Chocolates, lovely looking ones at that. He holds the box delicately in his hands and smiles. He is no stranger to the occasion now certainly, but receiving such a gift warms his heart regardless.

"Thank you, Miyako Hotsuin. I will savour them."

✧  Miyako

The feeling was enjoyable. Of course he was ditching opening the shop hours early just so he could do it. Running from the transit stop as to where it was, right there in all of its childish glory and scarce of people inside but some just about it looking. Contemplating jumping into it or just staring at all the colors it held within. Just a little fun wouldn't hurt would it?

Loki wasn't too sure himself whether it was open to being jumped in or just for show but he was willing to test those boundaries. Pausing in his steps just a few inches from the edge of the pit, looking about the surrounding -- about the people before picking one of them, just one maybe two to start something. A flicker of malice amusement. "Into the ball pit?" He asked no one in particular but gave someone side glance and grin when they stopped to stare.

"Wouldn't hurt would it?"
