@MellowAutomaton +watching so many movies without me, ya know!”

Not like he hadn’t seen most movies by now, though..

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

He lightly pounded on the door with the faded tail logo quickly.

This place always seemed a little old to him, but at least it meant it was juusst old enough that none of the heroes would show up.

Maybe one day he’d get Root to stay with him, but that wasn’t why he was there.+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +He took this whole ‘retro’ thing to a weird degree, sometimes.

The journalist would point to a specific area in Central City that was circled in red, a big question mark next to it.

“I need you to take me here. ..Just felt like walking for a moment. And I don’t want you+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +fighting, but we can probably handle it.”

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +confident in the direction he was going.

“There’s an abandoned church nearby, one that the cult hasn’t touched, that may have a way into the catacombs. Which would lead into one of their buildings. I dunno how many cultists will be there, and I don’t know if they’re capable of+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +safe. Maybe collect some info on how this whole group works. Can’t just steal stuff and resell it, gotta help the public out somehow.”

He followed this up with a confident smirk, really trying to convincingly come across unbothered.

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton The cat’s hand seemed to twitch in an almost apprehensive way.

He hadn’t really let himself take a moment for anything. He wasn’t too sure what would happen if he did.

Despite this, he confidently squeezed the android’s hand.

“Pfft, I’m fine. Just wanna make sure that kid is+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +of a friend. Which the police only let me look into because of the journalist title.

Regardless, he didn’t deserve to die the way he did, and maybe the cult was involved.

…But if not, we’ll still be saving someone.”

A much too casual shrug, honestly.

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton “Eh, sorta. It’s a friend who had their son kidnapped by a cult.”

..Of course, he meant Vava by this. The other wasn’t his most favorite person.

The feline would cross his arms across his chest.

“But there’s also been a string of murders recently. And one ended in the death+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +a kidnapped child from them too.”

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@MellowAutomaton +
“Wanted to ask if you’d wanna come along on a little mission-like-thing with me. Creepy cult stuff. Thought you would be interested. ..And, truth be told, you make a good bodyguard.”

A casual shrug. Yeah this would be a totally normal outing.

“..Oh, uh, we might be rescuing+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

+else.

Hopefully, he and @MellowAutomaton could at least save Vava’s kid. And if they were lucky, find out who had killed Calliope.

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

+He was there to have Root come with him. They liked to come along and also happened to be a powerful combatant. ..The job could be a little lonely, too, admittedly.

Tora once again had a camera around his neck. His gun was hidden somewhere and he didn’t seem to have anything+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@YumeNoHakai +the Hedgehog.”

He said it dramatically, giving a half bow as he started to back away.

The cat would then promptly turn around and start to walk off into the trees.

Why couldn’t it have been Vava that knew all that stuff?

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@YumeNoHakai The cat shook his head as he crouched down and picked up the burnt out cigarette.

“…Oi…”

He shook his head.

“Maybe that book shouldn’t be important to anyone..”

The journalist stared at the other for a moment, watching him.

Whatever.

“I’ll get your son back, Silver+

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@YumeNoHakai +hissed as the glowing tip slowly went out.

After the reporter pulled away, there was a circular burn mark melted into the cover.

“Huh. Guess it’s just a regular book after all.”

[Tσɾα 🏳️‍⚧️ @VeraciousPress]

@YumeNoHakai Tora shrugged, a smirk on his face.

“Seeing as you’re not just focusing on the advice, I guess I’m here to try and find this cult. Someone has to get Mao.”

As he spoke, he reached the cigarette out, pressing the burning end into the leather cover of the book Silver held.

It+
