Oh no, poor James. What happened?

cw for suicide mention

[usurpers]

This happened. And now he came back older. No ID, he doesn’t have anything. I’m trying to help him get a job ASAP so he can start over again.

What’s worse, he says he didn’t want to kill himself.

[fiddlestick]

[There's a long pause as he reads through this all and takes it in. Crap...]

It was Zee's real killer. It has to be.

This is terrible. Poor James. What skills does he have? Maybe I can help find him something.

[usurpers]

Exactly what I thought.

Anything with his hands. He has some assassination skill set now, but I don’t know how he’d explain it on a curriculum. I’m talking to mom to see if she can find something at the hospital, even if it’s custodian work. Maybe security.

[fiddlestick]

There has to be some way to stop this guy.

Um...yeah. I'd leave his assassination skills off the resume unless you can make them not sound so...homicidal.

I'll look into my sources too. Many one of the places I play need someone.

[usurpers]

I’ll let him know. If he’s something, it’s hardworking. Thanks.

I’ve been paying more attention to the state of the city instead of Zee’s killer, so I didn’t get too far into investigating anything. How to find someone who could mind control from a distance, though?

[fiddlestick]

It's no problem. Anything to help.

Yeah, that's the snag I've been hitting too. I can rule out people it CAN'T be, but I don't have a single lead to who it COULD be.

It's really...frustrating.

[usurpers]

You know that spell you have than can read people? Have you tried that?

[fiddlestick]

It wouldn't work well. I have to be able to see the person for the spell to work, so I'd have to track down every person on the app. And on top of that, I can only cast it so many times before it becomes too tiring.

[usurpers]

Of course. It was worth a shot to ask at least, you have a lot of powerful spells.

Does Akira know anything?

[fiddlestick]

Thanks. Though I'm afraid I'm outclassed by whoever's doing this.

[there's a brief pause as he hesitates, but he trusts Eren with his life. And he knows Akira trusts him too]

Yeah. He's been investigating too. Not sure if he has any new leads though.

[He will, in a future thread though]

[usurpers]

Not for long. This bastard can ruin everything if they think killing more app users is freeing up their path. They’re driving themselves into a corner.

He’s probably deeper into it that I am. Let me know?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, that's true...maybe they didn't realize Retrospec users return from the dead. Or they thought it'd scare them into silence.

I will.

[usurpers]

Stupid under both circumstances.

[usurpers]

With that out of the way . . . Did you ask Crow?

[ YOU KNOW ABOUT THE POKÉMON ]

[fiddlestick]

No argument here.

Huh? About the murders? No??

[Crow does not get to know about the murders?? CONTEXT PLEASE HONEY]

[usurpers]

[ he’s sort of laughing on his end but ok ]

About Pokémon.
But I guess it counts if it’s Detective Pikachu.

[fiddlestick]

Ohhh that.

I did, but apparently he's never played.
So I'm lending him my 3DS since I don't really use it these days anyway.

[usurpers]

He what

[fiddlestick]

He never played?
He only had an SNES growing up.

We found it pretty surprising too.

[usurpers]

Now I have to talk to him about it.

And I won’t act like a dick.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I appreciate that.

Do your best!

[usurpers]

Any bets on what he’d choose for a team?

[fiddlestick]

Well, he liked some of the water types we showed him! Like sharpedo and gyarados.

So I could see him liking a lot of water types?

[usurpers]

Those are good ones. You think he’ll like IV training?

[ look bae he’s TRYING ]
