[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, looking kind of baffled. Now that everything has settled back home, he just can't figure out a certain someone's reasoning.]

... why would he run away from the police when he wasn't even guilty of anything?

Comments

Makes sense. Mostly.

[A bit of an absent pause here] Yah. On my own.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Mostly?

Mm.. I see.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Might be a stupid question, but what's stopping you from getting more cards?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Didn't he just explain this?] They're limited... You can't get anymore.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

No, I get that. But what I want to know is why. I find it hard to believe that the genius that invented this power up just decided to give it usage limit.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I don't know who invented it, but... It runs off a specific type of power to work properly, only there isn't a lot of that available. [Hopes this explanation will work without really... explaining anything, lawl. ):]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[And he stares at Ryotarou, not saying anything. Yes, he knows there is more to it, but...] That takes care of the "mostly" then.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou nods a bit. If Jackie is guessing that he's not telling the whole truth, Ryotarou's silently thankful he isn't asking about it.] It does.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

So. Since you're sort of relying on this kid, I suppose he's got a similar power?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[nods] He does.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

What's the catch for him? Cards again?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Not... so much as a catch as an inconvenience. He has more people to work with than I do.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm not quite following you on that one. How does that count as an inconvenience?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

If you met them, I think you'd understand. [Ryotarou hasn't even met them properly yet and still knows they're all nuisances. XD]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it then.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Just... nods.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[And after a moment, he holds up a fist, with one finger extended.] Just...there's one last thing.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.] ... There is?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Just one.

You said we a bit earlier. And you said it in a way that excludes Sakurai. Who's the other one?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Oh. I.. meant a friend of mine, Deneb. He helps me.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Deneb. Interesting name. That all there is to it?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

It's one of the stars in the Summer Triangle. [He totally actually looked it up after Hei pointed out Deneb wasn't like.. a constellation, lawl. Then kind of went e-e at Nogami.] ... What do you mean?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but Deneb's not your average name. More so if it's only Deneb and nothing else.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... ah. [Ffft. Caught.] That's because he's.. not an average person, I guess.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

So what kind of person does that make him?
