[b]Over at the park-area[/b] The captain sighed in exchaustion. Today had not been a good day, and there would be tonnes of paperwork and inquiries by the brass to deal with once they got back and she filled out the report for today's mission. As she heard the questions from her subordinate though, she turned back and gave her a confident face, not a smile, but a confident face. "Not much we can do here, doesn't seem like they left a trail and the Spirit went and vanished too." A brief pause, she looked to both sides of her, as if to confirm that there was nothing around. "We'll head back to base. You can all make it back there on your own, can't you? I need to stay and confirm a few things, as well as get some of the recordings we can get our hands on." She stated, before turning to her vice-captain and nodding. "You heard the cap'n, girls! Head back to base, put away yer gear'n hit the showers before you go home!" The Osaka-native vice-leader of the team shouted in her distinct dialect. The girls looked at each other and then, slowly, one by one, took off into the air and began heading back towards HQ at their own pace. It didn't seem there'd be anything more to do this evening, so everyone could just take it at things at their rate and then head home. [b]In the alleyway[/b] "[i]What a rude girl~[/i]" The "wall" said in mock anger. If it had had cheeks, it likely would've puffed them up, but being a wall it lacked such features and thus remained rather flat and expressionless."[i]I nver said I didn't konw the answer, you know? I said you were asking the wrong question.[/i]" The wall re-buttled to the Reaper, implying that the faux death-god was actually the real idiot here. Suddenly though, there was a ripple along the surface of the wall, like how a placid lake is disturbed and forms rings when you throw a small stone into it. Of course, brick and cement being a non-viscuous and rather solid material, this looked quite strange to say the least. Before much else could be done though, a small tear appeared in the wall, as if someone had pulled down a zipper. There was a hole... Or, perhaps not? There was light coming from, white and pristine light that was quite bright - far too bright to be a mere lamp or street-light. If you squinted, you could see - through this newly opened gap that seemed to lead into a world of light - a dark figure standing some distance inside. It was holding its hand out, as if reaching for something. The face, clothes and overall color of the person was completely obscured, as the light seemed to come from behind them and thus, caused their silhouette to appear as just a black, mysterious shape. But then... The voice from the wall came once more, but this time sounding much closer and without the echoing effect. It came from the hole. "[i]If you want answers, maybe you should come with me~?[/i]" The voice beckoned, as did the outstretched hand. "[i]Choose quickly though, I'm afraid I don't have time to sit around and wait for you to think this offer over for long.[/i]" This last part sounded far more smug than usual, as if it was taunting the Reaper with a 'Come now, or you miss out'-sort of proposal.
