[Action & Video] Comas and Roses and Ice Cream, Oh My!
5/20 - Sleeping Foodie - Ted & Satou (Action, Closed)
This looked to be one of the more tedious bounties. Ted couldn't yet procure the medical reports pertaining to the nature of the poison used, so for now he had to resort to general, Hail Mary pavement hitting. And the first thing to do was to confer with the police department and ask to see their suspect list. He also needed a disguise, since the world at large was getting wise to his bounty hunting act and how (mostly) successful he was.
The secretary was pliant enough, telling him to wait while she got the records. And who should he find milling about the office but the sinful witch herself?
"Ah, hello Kuroneko. Your beat extends to this city too, eh?"
6/5 - Roses are Red - Ted & Rin (Video)
[Come on Ted, spit it out.]
So, um...I'm afraid my latest bounty is proving very elusive. To draw him or her out, I'll need a woman about my age, or one who looks it, to pose as my lover in however many roseal places until things become more open. You'll need to be very obvious about it too. I won't insist on anything risque, but, erm...well, we'd start with hand-holding, and go from there.
Aheh, don't worry! I've, ah, done plenty of bounties and, so far, haven't gotten anyone killed. Your security would be my top concern, and the villain's capture a close second. Goodness, using that flower to enact death. Have they not heard of rosaries? What perversion won't Everglade stoop to?
[He hangs up very quickly. What vexes him so much isn't the odd bait he's suggesting, but that he has to bring a girl into it. He made it sound ridiculous and reckless on purpose just to discourage any would-be heroines. OOC: Rin will ultimately be who he picks, but feel free to tweak his nose anyway.]
6/6 - Ice cream absolution - (Action, Open)
[Ted needed to wash his hands of involving not one, but two women in his crusade against crime. Will his chivalry ever recover? Is he losing his touch? He needs to do a good deed that doesn't put the fairer sex in danger, for a change. Oh hey, he got a right answer in the newspaper again. A month's supply of ice cream turned out to be...not that much.
Hang it. It's summer time, and that gives him an idea: handouts.
In all of the main cities, you'll find Genessia's court jester with a large board hung on his back. It reads: FREE ICE CREAM. Satsuki might not loose his diet enough to indulge in it anyway, and what better way to unload excess supply? Just don't ask where he's keeping it all.]

[Satou spins on her heel, singing to herself cheerfully,] Gotta set a good foundation~! Gonna crack that case, yay!
[She's a professional, honest.]
no subject
That table over there ought to serve, good as anything.
[Time to compare and contrast! Unfortunately, the victim was well-to-do and didn't associate with anyone who'd ever so much as given a fingerprint.]
Mm. Names to keep in mind later, I suppose. Well, let's see where she ate, then.
[Her schedule, as far as Ted could make out, ran like this: breakfast with her husband, coffee at the same chain twice both days. The advent of her poisoning occurred a few hours after a PTA meeting. Yesterday she'd gone to a book club.]
Sounds manageable. Because you're so keen at picking up emotions, you ought to be present at all interviews. Do you think going together would be too suspicious, or intimidating?
no subject
It's common for officers to conduct interviews in pairs, so let's not worry. If we seem worried, they'll worry too. Even the innocent ones.
[Tapping her cheek, she adds softly,] We should also check the coffee shop. If she has a routine involving food, it wouldn't be hard to interrupt it with poisons. It's also possible she got involved in a poisoning not meant for her.
no subject
[It'd be harder to find a motive, and thereby a suspect. Now he wishes that the criminal really did mean her harm if only to have an easier time. Such is the morbidity of the profession.]
All right, let's be off. They say nine times out of ten it's the husband anyway, so let's start with him: one Clarence Smith. Then we'll see who attended the PTA meeting and the book club, interview them, and conclude with who attended to her at PJ's, and try and make something of it from there.
