[HIS FRIENDS ARE ALL HERE and he's been so wrapped up in All The Wild Recolle Things that he hasn't called his father in a while... His contacts in Japan don't actually get in touch with him very often, either.]
Not really surprised, though. Like, if news about all this stuff got out, we'd have government media from around the world at our doors already, yeah?
Yeah. Conspiracy theorists out the ass. All the more reason they'd keep this kind of thing on the downlow. Too much attention could mean skewed data from where I'm standing. Might be worth reaching out to other people to see if there's some sort of explained phenomenon in other parts of the world we just haven't heard about yet.
[Which would be both good and bad, but he's trying this whole "positivity" thing.] Either that, or we figure out how to get in contact with the government and get them to believe us.
Maybe we could start by trying to get cops from another city in to investigate? I mean, if we're assuming Retrospec's only influencing our city, even just calling in help from right outside should work, yeah?
[COME HELP THEM, COPS FROM MYSTERIOUS SURROUNDING CITIES.]
That's not a bad idea. A tip-off doesn't necessarily have to have real backing to get them to check out, and we could make up some evidence if we need to. Dunno if Bigby would go for it if I'm the one asking but next time he comes by it couldn't hurt to see what he thinks. And anyway, it's a big city. If we don't have some kind of weird shit going on it seems a little too...perfect.
What, does he not like you? [SNICKERS like a punk.] I'll ask him if you want, then. He's been dealing with me so long that we have a little rapport going on.
[Is that really something to be proud of, Kashuu...]
But yeah, it's not like a little crime would be hard to believe or something.
It's not that, but authority and I aren't always the best of friends. [So yeah, maybe.] That'd be really good though. See what I mean? You're still helping. [A shrug.]
Now we just gotta make sure Retrospec doesn't get any stupid ideas and escalate the crime rate to cover their tracks further. Maybe it's paranoia but ever since Jim said they're watching everything? Kinda feels like nothing's helping yet.
Ah, right, right. You're a trouble-maker. [SAYS THE UNDERAGED DRINKER.] But that's fine, I can do at least that much.
[And then Bigby rejoined the regular populace and Kashuu ended up useless yet again GOOD WORK PEANUT.]
They probably won't have to resort to something so boring when they can apparently just change the fabric of reality as we all know it, yeah? But I don't really think that's paranoia, honestly...
Well. [A grin.] I ever tell you I sorta lied to Milligan to get this job in the first place? There's a reason for that. But good, glad to have you on our team.
[There's a sigh.] You think crime rate is boring? [Come on.] I'd like to find a way to stop them from watching us but who knows how we'd even get that far. That's something you can help me brainstorm, too.
No, but I'm also not surprised. [SIGHS why are all of his friends like this...]
Anyway, I don't think it's boring on its own, but compared to people who can erase entire species from reality and do this? [GESTURES TO HIS TINYASS SELF.] Yeah, I'd say so. I'll definitely help you brainstorm that though, 'cause the whole invasion of privacy thing is old as hell.
Plan. Uh... I'd offer to help get you back to wherever you came from, but I have no idea where that was or how far it is and I don't have any useful animals to wrangle for you. V lives in the forest.
Can't believe you're letting an innocent chocobo fend for himself. [But he looks down the long way from counter to floor and he shrugs.] I was at the bar, so that's probably where I'll get back to. I'll catch up with you when this isn't a living nightmare. And, uh, sorry about this.
[This, of course, is Luke sticking his sword into the side of the counter and starting to slide his way down to the floor. Byyyee Kashuu.]

Good point. We'll think on it more whenever we figure out how to reverse this then. Plan?
