Hachaaaaaa, this thing is even more complicated than—ah! Wait! There it is!

[Someone was more interested in her map than the explanation about her bracelet. Whoops. The girl that appears looks decidedly too cheerful for someone in the situation she’s found herself in- but if there’s anything Mikuru can take in stride, it’s a request to help people, even if the request is a bit unorthodox. But then, taking things in stride is something Mikuru’s got a pretty good handle on period.]

Yo~! [A quick, chipper wave.] Nazume Mikuru speaking- Mikuru Nazume, if there are any Westerners here! I’d like to ask a few questions, if everyone doesn’t mind? Mostly about where people are from, what sort of things they do, you know- to get a better idea of what we’ve got to work with! So if you’re okay with answering stuff like that, or if you have any suggestions about things I should ask, let me know, okay? I’m sure if we all work together we can have this situation resolved in no time!

[She hopes. She also hopes she’s not the only cop here, or the only person who’ll try and enforce laws, if others are keen on breaking them.]

Thanks for your time! [A bow, quick and a little messy.] And hope to hear from a lot of you!

[Another wave, and then she turns the bracelet off.]



[ooc: Mikuru is pretty much using this to get a feel on people, and to see if there's anyone she should be keeping an eye on. She's got a pretty keen eye for bad-guy types, but if you'd rather she not be able to tell, of if it's canon most people can't, let me know, okay?]

You've got a really good attitude about this. [A bit solemn for delivering a compliment, but that's just how Nakama rolls. Then she bows in return, as is polite.]

Um... I'm Mako Nakarai, but I go by Nakama, I'm from Japan, and I'm - I was a student and a seamstress back home.

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Gotta stay positive! It's no good if you can take things as they come but just act miserable about it, right?

[She nods her head decisively, as if agreeing with herself on Nakama's behalf.]

A student, huh? What grade, if you don't mind my asking?

[video]

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[She nods, but still looks a bit serious to be considered positive. They're on different tracks, but the tracks are running parallel, let's say.]

Oh - I was just going into eighth grade.

[video]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[If Mikuru notices, she's not saying anything about it. Instead she simply keeps smiling.]

Eighth? You're younger than me then... What school were you going to, if you don't mind my asking?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Bokurano gives very little detail about home locales, so insert school and town here. I will headcanon and map this one day ;;]

How old are you?

Hello, Ms. Nazume. A pleasure to meet you. My name is Yuri Petrov. I don't mind at all.

I am a judge in my home city of Sternbild.

[[ooc: Yuri's a vigilante obsessed with justice. I'm not sure if he exactly counts as a bad guy, since he thinks he's doing good, but I'd rather no one know in any case, as no one does in canon.]]

[video]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[This news? She's absolutely delighted by it. Arrest warrants, here she comes!]

A judge? Hachachaaaa, that's great! Someone who knows the laws is always a good thing to have around, I think!

I don't think I've ever heard of Sternbild before- is that European?


[ooc: As much as she might not like his methods, he'd count as good in Mikuru's book. He should meet one of her coworkers, she makes vigilantes look like kittens.]

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

[He smiles, approving of this attitude.] I agree. In any community, law and order must be maintained for society to function properly.

No, it's the largest city in the northeastern United States.

[[ooc: Okay, excellent!]]

[video]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Definitely! After all, if there's no law, there's no order, and the last thing we need is people running around acting like they can do whatever they please, right?

Oh no wonder! I'm terrible with the Northeast- I lived in L.A. when I was younger though..!

You're awfully chipper for a kidnappee.

Well, what do ya wanna know?

[video]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Well, these are the nicest kidnappers I've ever heard of, and no one's been harmed just yet- so we'll see how that goes, huh?


Where you're from, for starters- what you did for work, if you have any family, if there's anyone you know here... that sort of thing!

[charming-jerk.livejournal.com]

Kidnappers are still kidnappers, I don't care how well they dress it up.

Uh, I'm from New York. Haven't been here long enough to know if I know anyone here yet. Do other people know others here?

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

I don't think divine quests technically count as 'kidnapping' though...


Oooo, I've always wanted to go there. Never really got a chance though. And from the looks of the network, there are a few people here and there who know each other.

Nice to meet you, too. So where I'm from and what I do, right?

I'm from Southern Cross Island and I'm a first year in high school. Nothing really special.

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[A bob of her head, cheerful and friendly. This one seems nice enough!]

Southern Cross Island? Where's that?

video;

[thunderstomach.livejournal.com]

It's south of Japan, but I don't think many people have ever heard of it unless they know someone who lives there already.

[She looks a bit thoughtful. In all honesty, she doesn't really know if anyone off the island would have heard of it without having some sort of connection.]

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[Highly. Suspect. Not that Mikuru will say that out loud just yet.]

Wow, really? That sounds kind of exclusive then..! Are there a lot of people there anyway?

[eagledheart]

Hello, Nazume-san. I'm Natsuhi Ushiromiya, the wife of the eldest son of an extremely wealthy Japanese family. I lived on a private island near Niijima, owned by the Ushiromiya family.

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Ushiromiya-san. Did you run the household there, then? Since I figure a private island might not have much in the way of a lot of commerce...

[eagledheart]

That was indeed part of my duties as the eldest son's wife. I was in charge of the servants who helped upkeep the household, making sure sufficient supplies were kept on hand, and overseeing the preparations for visits by other family members.

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lot of work. How are you handling it here without all that to keep on top of, Ushiromiya-san?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Good plan! Let's see ... I'm Edogawa Conan and I'm an elementary school student!

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

[Awww, cute! Cooperative kids are the best kind, in Mikuru's opinion.]

Nice to meet you, Edogawa-kun! Where are you from?

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Beika-district, Tokyo! What about you?

[zerobursting.livejournal.com]

Ah- I'm from Tokyo too. Different district though. What grade are you in, Edogawa-kun?
