doubleppk | [Voice / Action]

[There are two options as Fujiko just gets back.

A) She's unconscious in the snow. All told, for a Mallynapping, she doesn't look too worse for the wear, no obvious injuries, cuts, or bruises, her hair doesn't even look off. Still, she's unconscious and vulnerable isn't something the woman likes to be.

B) After all that, she makes a journal post. A very very loud journal post. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!]

LUPIN!!! Damn it, if you're going to completely demolish someone's security system the least you could do is put it back together when you're done! You left my apartment wide open! And don't lie, I know it was you!

[And then anyone trained with guns would hear the unmistakable click as she cocks one at the journal purposely threatening in a deadly dark voice.]

I have ammunition, I'm not afraid to use it.

[And then just like that, as if she hadn't screamed and threatened to shoot her not!boyfriend, Fujiko's voice goes back to cute!mode wherein she clearly wants something.] I'm going out for drinks later, anyone care to join me~?

[Drinks that are normally shared with Lupin on Valentine's Day, it should be noted. Oh yeah, she's in a mood.]

Oh! And Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I can't believe they made me almost miss it! What's everyone's favorite candy? Anyone want to play a game with those little hearts with messages? Better than eating them, right?

[The coat and scarf are accepted with a quick nod, and Adele pulls them back on without question.]

He may notice. I know. You he trusts, as much as he does anyone, so it should be easier for you to see him medicated than it would for me.

[Freedom. Why does she keep meeting people who most desire that above all else?] Has he never felt anything but? The man cannot sit still for more than half an hour before having to move, or cause mischief.

[Arches an eyebrow. Lupin trusts her? That's new. Well, he kind of did. When the chips were down. He also trusted her to betray him and promised to always forgive her. Truly, a masochist. Then again that would mean he'd forgive her for this betrayal too.]

We'll see...

[And then she laughs.] Did he blow anything or try to steal the entire battledome while I was gone?

His apartment. Something about a lit cigarette and chemicals, I think he was attempting to stockpile smoke bombs. He set most of his room on fire, doing that. [For what, she didn't know. She never asked.]

[Facepalms.] This is why smoking is supposed to be done outside Lupin. Idiot idiot idiot...

Is it even still standing? [Because otherwise he'll be spending even more time sneaking into her place than usual.]

He only blew out one of the walls, but yes. The building yet stands, even if it's a little scorched. [She didn't care to elaborate, especially after the little episode she had on her way back down.]

All right. I guess I'll take a look myself later.

[Maybe. Since that would mean setting foot in his apartment. Ew. Cooties.]

Hum, thanks for finding me by the way. [Stupid Malnosso.]

I was on my morning jog. [Adele shrugs.] It is not far from the village proper, and I remember well what it is to be abandoned in the snow. Any aide I can give to those in a similar situation is no trouble at all.

You were too? Damn they're always doing that... so annoying. [Kicks some snow in irritation.]

Out by the eastern lake, no less. Not a soul for at least a few miles. In a sundress. Why they pick the flimsiest fabric possible in this weather...

Yikes... No one found you?

An accidental transmission on the journals brought me aide. Until they arrived however I was very...disoriented. I thought this was a postmortem hallucination.

If you died, how would you be hallucinating?

There's one last flicker of activity in the brain just before it ceases activity entirely. The body, in and of itself, is dead before that point more often than not. That flicker is typically considered a hallucination, though none of my contemporiares know anyone that has experienced it and recovered.

What about near-death experiences? Is that the same?

Similar, but not quite. It has been a few years since I last read that particular study...at least here it would be less difficult to observe, since death is not always permanent. Though I am in no hurry to do so.

I guess that would be a really creepy upside to this place... if that was your thing.

I would rather fulfill my obligations as a surgeon and prevent villagers from dying as much as I can. Death isn't cheap, even if it isn't permanent.

No kidding. I'm sure people here would really appreciate that Doctor.

If I'm to be stuck here, I'd rather be useful. Even if half my patients don't listen to me when I say rest. I can't even convince Lupin to sit still for three hours.

Don't worry, he's one-of-a-kind, nothing like most people here. Most of them anyway.

And he's that way with everyone, so at least you know it's nothing personal. He's just an idiot.

I'm beginning to see that, yes. [And here's the first bridge into the village, Adele steadies herself on the side when she slips, frowning.]

One of the most brilliant idiot's I've ever met, but yes. An utter idiot.

Don't tell him that. His ego is insufferable enough already.

[As if that would even make it go up. He already knows he's brilliant; unfortunately.]

Let him have his ego, so long as it keeps him still. Which it won't, there's nothing that will. [Adele shrugs, it's something she's just come to accept about the thief. All she can do is make sure he doesn't wreck himself too badly.]

Lupin couldn't sit still if his life depended on it. One time he stole Hutler's toupee. [Yes... Hutler. Their canon is special, okay?] We got trapped in a castle, completely surrounded by nazis and he still couldn't sit still. All our bullets used up, barricaded, and his fingers were still twitching. [Shakes her head.] I think making his ego worse would probably make that worse. Seeing as he wants to be the world's most famous.

Hutler? I...that. That is insane. [Yet, could she expect anything else from a world where Lupin lived, breathed, and did what he did? Not really. An extraordinary man requires an extraordinary world.]

You mean he is not yet the world's most famous thief? Who would that illustrious title belong to?
