[runs a hand through his hair, straightens out his clothing, and flips through tha papers in his folders before sighing]

[snatches your papers and flips through them idly] Who's Daichi?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

What have you got, Boss?

[didorothy]

[snatches them back] Friend of Fumie's.

[crosses his arms and gives him a Look] I thought you were supposed to be finding out more about this whole 'machine' bullocks with that bird. What're you doin' lookin' for gooks for the brat?

[didorothy]

Right, uh... They said... something about your mental state. So what they'd have to do if see if they can't fix the problem in your mind. But they don't entirely know the risks. I want to talk to them a bit more about what the risks could be before you get into it, because it's not even garunteed that it will work, in getting him back. If you remember what he was like before, that should help.

[didorothy]

Helping a friend.

[gruffly] You don't have time to be helpin' friends, Tyler. Not when you're on the clock.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... What are the papers for?

[didorothy]

[jaw set] You found a lot less productive things to do in your free time. What are you here for?

[didorothy]

Just files. Notes.

[also sets his jaw] I'm doin' my job, Gladys, and that means making sure you lot are doing yours. Last I knew, I was still your DCI, meanin' you don't question what I do and I sure as hell question you.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

About what?

[didorothy]

We're fine. Cleaning up the scum of the city. The ones not in the department itself, anyway. How're your lot? No accidents in the cells, I hope.

[didorothy]

Dissociative Identity Disorder.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

In general?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

My mental state? But I'm fine! I mean aside from being fifty percent sure none of this is actually happening and really I just fell asleep with my glasses on.! But Daichi wouldn't be part of that. Except getting eaten by a monster. I guess that makes him part of it. But then it's just in the dream. ...I think I just proved myself wrong.

[you keep pushing his buttons and he doesn't like it, Sam ; ;] Now you listen here, Tyler. The only scum you look to is out in those streets, you got it? You don't have a bloody clue what's going on in my department and I won't have you waltzing in here and acting like some sort of Mother Theresa, understood? [jabs him in the chest] I am still your DCI, whether you like it or not. So you either shut it or you can bloody well leave.

[didorothy]

Maybe you shouldn't be my DCI anymore.

[didorothy]

I think it's an effect of the monsters. [ignoring the existential shiznit; Sam can do that on his own time]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[doesn't say anything for a long time, simply staring at Sam, then lights a cig and punches him in the face]

[didorothy]

It's for Akito. Not that he needs it now.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[didorothy]

[See, that's not fair. Sam deserves first punch. So have a really bloody hard punch in response]

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, hm. I guess I could try...

[didorothy]

...Did you try to shoot Akito?
