First strike [Video]

[kendo_taisho]

[The video clicks on revealing a teen sitting confidently facing the camera. He's dressed casually, nothing too impressive, but respectable enough for his age. He clears his throat, his voice smooth as he speaks.]

Good morning, Maurtia Falls!

The name's Hattori, and I'm yer new inner-city detective.

[Holds up his shiny badge so everyone can see it, his hand covering part of his title:

Heiji Hattori
Pet Detective

Pulls the badge away, grinning broadly.]

I'm located in residence #004. If ye've got a case, I'm yer man, so give me a call. Don't matter what time o'day or where yer at.

[ooc: While he's specifically directing Maurtia Falls, it's an open comm to all cities. Yes, he is deliberately hiding the 'pet' portion of his job. It's okay, he can totally solve murders too. It's perfectly legal! ...ahem.]

[He's not a wizard, okay? How is that even close to magic? There's probably science to it...somewhere.]

What, is that weird for this place? [Now he's a little worried.]

[siriusly]

I'm...not exactly the right person to ask for sure, since I've only been here for a little bit. [a slight beat.] It just sounds really weird to me.

[kendo_taisho]

Aa, yeah. I get what ya mean. It's weird to me too. This sorta thing doesn't exist in my world.

[siriusly]

Mm... Either way, getting that sorted out should be a priority.

[kendo_taisho]

I activated it while sparrin', so that's prolly my best bet to figurin' out how to do it on purpose and on to not.

[siriusly]

[a delay while he thinks about it.]

I've never done kendo before...but maybe, [ah--] maybe if you showed me a bit, that'd be close to making it happen again? That power of yours.

[kendo_taisho]

[Excited.] Sure! I need t'practice anyway. The enhanced speed is killin' my forms. Gettin' used to it again is on th' top of my list of things t'do.

I could prolly show ya how t'do em too, if yer interested. Wouldn't say no to someone to practice with even without the crazy power thing.

[siriusly]

[agreeably:] It could be a win-win, in that case. I'm for it.
