sometime in mid-oct and super late at night

[optimistical]

Kyouko, have you seen Daisuke today?

[evidentiary]

I haven't. Is he missing?

[optimistical]

Yeah.

He still hasn't come home and he left his phone in his room. I haven't seen him since this morning.

[evidentiary]

And he didn't give you any indication where he might go, if you're concerned about it.

If that's the case, perhaps we should check the Retrospec building first off?

[optimistical]

Do you think that's where he is?

[evidentiary]

I think you must have checked the more usual locations already before escalating it to me, correct? You're not the sort of person who likes to worry others, so I think you must have checked with his parents and at school already.

And Daisuke isn't usually the sort of person to disappear without a word, either. That means it has to be something strange, and that means Retrospec. That building is a little weird this month; there's a maze of sorts within. It should let out into the forest, but that might not be the case for everyone?

[optimistical]

[ dang... this is why kyouko is the smart one and the detective. that's some a+ deductions ]

Yeah, you're right about all that. I came back home thinking that he might have returned but...

[ clearly, he hasn't if naegi's texting kyouko at dead o'clock ]

Then I should go to the Retrospec building! I'm going to head over there right now!

[evidentiary]

I'll come along with you. It's dangerous to do that sort of thing alone. Besides, there's still fog out on the streets, making getting there a little troublesome. I get the feeling if you tried to get there alone, you'd get lost.

[optimistical]

Are you sure? It's going to be dangerous for you too and I don't want to drag you out for this.

[evidentiary]

Don't worry. Ryouta has been teaching me to fight, a little. It's dangerous for you, too, anyway.

[optimistical]

[ he feels bad that she's tagging along since he doesn't know if he can forgive himself if she gets hurt but that doesn't mean he's not appreciative that she's coming. he feels like he can calm down a little more and not be so rash if she's there. ]

... Thanks, Kyouko.

I'll meet you out in the hallway in a few minutes?

[evidentiary]

I'll see you then.

[ ALTHOUGH THE EXPEDITION IS DOOMED TO FAILURE, but presumably they go do that anyway. ]

[optimistical]

[ MIGHT AS WELL and then they can get lost... but look, naegi comes out in the hallway and he has a backpack. it's filled with bottles of water and little snacks because look, she said that it's a maze and if they get lost or if they find daisuke being lost, they should be prepared. he's genre-savvy enough for this...! ]

Okay, I think I'm ready to go. Are you?

[evidentiary]

Yes, let's.

[ and she's...actually not in heels and business casual for once. congrats, naegi has unlocked kyouko in jeans and hiking boots, though she kept the button-down business blouse, so. there's a bag slung across her shoulders, but it isn't clear what might be inside. probably supplies based on previous trips. ]

I can navigate us there with a minimum of detours, I think.

[optimistical]

[ kyouko in jeans and hiking boots............ naegi didn't even think that she owned a pair of jeans. he's learning so much about her... ]

Have you been there before? You said that the inside was like a maze.

[evidentiary]

I explored with a few different people. The halls...change. They have some of the properties of the fog, I think?

[ today is just a wealth of info because apparently she's been fucking off to explore a mystery maze of hallways, too ]
