[Event]

*another instance of marks burning happened. It was sometime during the extremely early hours of the morning, and it ended just as soon as it came.

Of course, without any real leads, it might be hard to figure out just what's going on, but one hooded person who's been trying to clutch at straws is hanging out in an alleyway, trying desperately to try to pick up on something. Anything. And well... let's just say he hasn't been having much luck.

If you want a B route though: Tezaki Kou is at the library, going over some recent news articles on the computer. They seem to be about crime and disappearances that've happened recently in Domino City, if you look closely. Why would someone be looking at that?*

*Yubel is at the library and spots Kou by the computers, she wanders over curiously and spots the articles he's looking at over his shoulder.
Crime and disappearances in Domino City? She smirks to herself.
Maybe her hunch on him being an assassin was right after all? Maybe he's making sure he left no evidence?

Either way, this conversation could be fun.*

Those are interesting articles you're reading, dear.

*okay, you, definitely, he can't effectively poker face around. Though he doesn't seem so much surprised by you being there, so much as you suddenly addressing him...*

Well-- aren't they? There's a lot of things that happen in the city that no one notices.

Most people are too busy going about their daily lives to take much notice, I find. To absorbed in their own problems to focus on the problems of others, or what's going on around them.

And sometimes things happen in the shadows where no-one can see.

Well... Disappointingly, in that sort of case. It means a lot of these things of things go unsolved for the families involved in it. They're not really high-priority compared to stuff like monster attacks or whatever, that might sometimes happen.

Makes you wonder what happened to them, hm?
Seems the ones who recently went missing were salarymen of sorts? Maybe they were prayed on by some demon looking for a snack? Or maybe they faked their disappearance to run off to another life?

Or maybe they just got in with a bad crowd, made a wrong step and...

*She makes a cutting motion across her neck with her finger.* ...gone!

*... swallows. He doesn't really want to think about that.*

Well, it's probably why reports like this are going under the radar, huh? Cause no one wants to think it might be due to stuff like organized crime, and that's at minimum.

I don't think it's "faking it and running off to another life" though. One of them was last seen at a convenience store before vanishing, and according to the article, all they bought was one of those heat-up dinners and a drink.

So for some reason, salarymen are either being off'd, kidnapped or spirited away to some unknown dimension while they go about their mundane lives.
But the question would be, by who and why?

Quite the mystery~

Yeah, but it's not like it's my business to figure it out.

*that sounds quite not the whole truth*

*She chuckles.*

Of course not.
After all, that would require you to research the events that took place and probably sneak around at night undercover.

*clearing his throat*

Saying that doesn't change the fact of it.

Of course.

I'll leave you to your non-research on the problem that isn't your business to solve then, shall I?

See you again, undercover boy~

*Yubel gives him a small wave and leaves with the biggest smirk on her face.*

*oh, god, I am never going to hear the end of this from her.*
