001 [Audio then Video] [Originating from Solian Temple]

[kungfugeek]

 Oi! What's going on here!? 

[Well, someone's not entirely happy today, are they?  Then again, if you were just running with your buddies and suddenly found yourself waking up in front of a shrine, you'd be a little intrigued about it. Enough to half-heartedly listen to the robed beings explain the situation to you.  He wasn't sure if he believed them, either.  It's not like he'd met them before, and no one was able to vouch for them.  Really, what did he care about them?]

Deckerd! Duke! Are you there?

[They're the ones he was with last, after all.]

Anyone?? I'm by some weird shrine and these creeps came up to me and gave me this--

[Suddenly, it switches to video, showing a very confused Power Joe.]

THIS THING.  

[Glad to see you're adjusting well, PJ.]

... Another one of you.

[engrishdetective]

Tsk tsk, didn't even listen to them, did you? Typical!

For the record, for those of us who are here, it's just Drill Boy, McCrane, Kagerou, and myself.

Deal with it.

[Video]

[drillsandballs]

POWER JOE~!

[Drill Boy is beyond excited to see you Power Joe, especially if his response is anything to go by.]

[kungfugeek]

[Why did it have to be you.

So what if he didn't. You probably didn't either grr.]

Why should I? They probably brought me here!

...

Kagerou?

audio;

[kungfugeek]

...

Who is this.

[Why do you sound so familiar.]

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

What sort of detective are you? Gather the facts, duh.

Kagerou. As in the prototype to Shadowmaru? Yeah, that one.

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

...

[And suddenly, that face turns from angry to a wide smile in a matter of seconds.]

Doriko! You're here too?

[Things just got a lot more entertaining.]

[thxforthememories]

You don't remember?

[Well he always did have an accidental flair for the dramatic...]

[So, when he turns to video, he's sort of shadowed. Spooky-like.]

Does this restore your memories, Brave Police?

VIDEO;

[kungfugeek]

[He's the Kung Fu detective, says the opening credits--but that gets him to snap slightly back to reality.]

Isn't he at the bottom of the ocean?

[kungfugeek]

...

2/2 video;

[kungfugeek]

It's YOU.

[The one who tried to kill a girl just cause.]

VIDEO;

[engrishdetective]

Oh! You're right! I've somehow gotten the facts confused. Perhaps the Kagerou I've been speaking with for the last several months is just a mirage.

No, Bruce Lee, he isn't.

VIDEO;

[kungfugeek]

[UGH WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU. HE'D TAKE DUKE OVER YOU. AND DUKE'S THE HIPPIE.]

...Wait, months? You've been here that long?

...

He tried to kill us!

video;

[thxforthememories]

I could say the same of you.

... the kung fu geek. Wasn't it?

[Yeah he remembers those dumb noises you made.]

[Video]

[drillsandballs]

Yeah~!

Oh I'm so glad you are here!

Well, I mean, it would be nice to be back home instead, but I'm glad there are more of us here.

[kungfugeek]

[Those noises are the joyous cries of angels don't lie.]

...






The outdated ninja, right?

video;

[thxforthememories]

Is that what you were calling me?

video;

[arnhaid]

Y'didn't listen to a word anybody said, huh?

[He totally didn't either, don't worry.]

video;

[kungfugeek]

It didn't make a lot of sense.

[Better to get it explained in terms he can understand. By people with brains.]

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

Yeah uh...Drill Boy? Think you could explain this in terms that make sense?

[Someone didn't really LISTEN to the acolytes...]

video;

[arnhaid]

So... You didn't.

video;

[kungfugeek]

...No.



[He seems...distracted.]





Dumpson?

video;

[kungfugeek]

One of them.


[Possible girl-killer was another.]

video;

[arnhaid]

...

Say what?

video;

[thxforthememories]

[You should see him with Kay, Peej. You'd be shocked.]

How charming of you.

... I should tell you, before he vanished... your leader told me I wouldn't be hunted by any of the Brave Police any longer.
