final investigation
[It's been almost a week since Orthrus' lucky escape. Almost a week, of all calls to Heisenberg going (metaphorically) to voicemail. Almost a week, to rest and recover from the harrowing losses of the previous Friday.
It's been almost a week. And the storms are getting worse.
You know the locked door on the first floor? The one that goes into the center of the tower, right across from the great entry hall doors?
Today, there's a heavy iron key sticking out of the lock. With a familiar crest on the head.
The key is sticky with wet yellow paint, and wetter blood.]

Hello?
no subject
He appears to be outside of the Fantasy Costco and, based on the wind whooshing around him, a new storm has started raging.]
Sooooo, a few things: one, I got you guys some presents! They're in the Great Hall if you're all still in bed. Two, something weird happened and I thiiink you guys should see it so I'm coming over. Three, are you guys good over there? Because the sky is kind of cracking and it's looking a little dicey out here!
no subject
Things are dicey in here as well. We'll meet you as soon as we can.
[Then, to everyone else:]
Garfield has something to show us all! If we're done here, we should leave! Everything has gotten pretty bad outside of the tower!
[The sky is kind of cracking. That...probably won't be an exaggeration. Behind Katsuya, Helios materializes, the cop doesn't even turn around while Helios picks up the remains of Lefty]
There are presents for all of us in the Great Hall, too.
no subject
I've been here the whole time! Or I am now. [He grins behind his mask, eyes wide and wild.]
...I'm very tired.
no subject
[Nothing like a convenient way to get out of here]
I leave all my gold in my trunk in my room -- some coins more, not a fortune. The trunk isn't locked. Feel free to take the gold.
[It's not like he's going to try to take the gold back home, if he survives all this. May as well leave it to Garfield.
Katsuya sends his Persona in first, to leave Lefty in a corner of the Fantasy Costco. There you go, Garfield, have fun with it, maybe it'll come back to life for Ars Arcana Round 2 if it exists, heh]
no subject
He nods in approval as the Persona carts Lefty into the packed-up shop.] Much appreciated, Katsuya! I don't think my noodly arms would have been able to get that. [Yes, he has levitation spells. No, he is not wasting spell slots today of all days.]
Now first important thing because, thankfully, it is fully portable! [He reaches into his cloak and, even though it looks like it really shouldn't fit in there, pulls out a framed, rusted sheet of iron about the size of medium picture frame.] Take a gander at this.
no subject
[The one involving you, the one that was on cast iron, from time ago?]
no subject
This is why I was able to call in those little favors for you. Null and void and not on my end, bay-bee! My Fyelp reviews remain untouched!
no subject
[Ah, an opening for them to get an advantage. Better take advantage of this mistake one way or another, and use the presents to put this madness to an end!
katsuyas goodwill and general appreciation will plummet when he sees the tattoo he has to apply on himself but pfffft learn to live a little katsuya]
no subject
I've still got a lot of... [Buffering...buffering...buffering...] Stuff. To be doing. Over at the store. [Gods, how is he even functioning right now.] But! You have your mercantile boons, I can do whatever the heck I want and I assume you guys are busy unlocking the secrets of the tower!
[He has so little idea of what any of these secrets are but he believes in his blorbos.]
I will say, based on personal experience, things are probably going to blow up either literally or figuratively here soon so juuuust in case- [He reaches out to take Katsuya's compact, scratches a cathead symbol into the orange stone on it and then passes it back.] If you need me just gimme a little ring and I'll bamf in with bombs on.
[Surely he means "bells on", that's just the two levels of exhaustion talking.....surely. But congrats, you guys have acquired Garfield as a Kingdom Hearts-style summon.]
