*So, as you may know, Kou has been working at DA now. This isn't too much of a secret, though he hasn't really given a reason for why he's doing this.

Well, you may find him acting upon one of these reasons, later in the night on the island or in the city [You Choose Which]-- perhaps you're someone who just doesn't follow the rules of curfew or you're late coming from things you had to do, but you'll find some guy following another, certain creepy shut-in dude.

If he's in the city, he's in his dumb incognito outfit, but if he's on the island, he isn't bothering with it. Stands out too much in that situation.*

That might be a plan.

Though... *he adjusts his glasses slightly*

Why were you following me, anyway? It is rather late...

[frozenperdition]

"... honestly I was hoping that you'd lead me to a site I ain't checked out before because the faculty deems it 'too dangerous' or 'secret.'"

[knowinginthedark]

Huh. Well, I guess you were on the mark there.

Did you see anyone else, by the way?

[frozenperdition]

"Sorry. Once I realized ya knew I was around, I figured I'd come clean.

I thought I caught a glimpse of someone else, but I wasn't sure."

[knowinginthedark]

Well, that's to be expected.

I've been followed for quite a while, now.

*... so he definitely knows.*

[frozenperdition]

"Did ya piss off some duel ninja clan or something?"

[knowinginthedark]

Oh, no, probably not that.

I barely even duel at all, anyway!

[frozenperdition]

"Oh, true.

Maybe it's like a secret admirer and they just don't know how to confess their feelings."

[knowinginthedark]

Oh, no, probably not that either.

I think it's someone nosing in on things, that's all. Maybe someone who believes the jittery accusations of the history teacher. Well, one of them anyway.

[frozenperdition]

"Oh, Samasu who thinks you're a vampire? Yeah. I could see that.

Besides, you're just doing research. Ain't much to 'nose in on' here, unless you're worried they're gonna take what you've got and publish under their name. ... which is absolutely something that happens in this field, ain't it?"

[knowinginthedark]

Actually not as much as you think, funnily enough.

My field is extremely... niche. In fact, a lot of people still like to deny it exists in any serious capacity, beyond theorists who say that aliens have influenced humanity and built the pyramids.

Which is rather silly, isn't it?

[frozenperdition]

"I think it's amazing that people want to discredit human achievements and ascribe them all to outside forces, supernatural or not. ... on the other hand after seeing some of this stuff, I get it.

Glad that it ain't some weirdo stalking ya then. If I manage to catch them I'll yell at them or something."

[knowinginthedark]

Just passing along the message to stop bothering me should help at all, Miss Briar.

After all, there's a lot of people out there who might get the wrong idea about others, and might make risky choices. I'd really hate to get dragged into some big deal about it, just because I might act a little...

Weird, I guess?
