thinkimsuperman[Douglas is just sort of sitting around at the bar in the inn, and he's got the 'gear propped up on his bag, which is still filled mostly just with the basics and the things Heather sent him. He's pretty much moved permanently into a room in the inn at this point. Sheldon and Kal-El are fighting over some berries and come pretty near to knocking the 'gear over several times, so it's a while before Douglas can actually pay any attention to the feed he's sending out]
It's been a while since I've done this, hasn't it? Feels like it's been a while, anyway. This time I've actually got a point, though. I've been doin' some odd detective work for people around town lately, and it's got me thinkin'. I know there might not be much demand for this sort of thing, but if anybody needs to hire a private detective, you can contact me anytime. Figured it might do some good to advertise.
[then Kal-El knocks the 'gear over and Douglas sends him a scowl and holds it in his hands rather than risking it getting knocked over again]
I don't charge much. Really just got my room and food expenses to cover, so I'll do whatever you need for pretty cheap. Just send me some details if you have something you want me to work on.Got about twenty years of experience, and there's not a lot I can't handle, I like to think.

Date: 2012-02-23 10:29 am (UTC)What's that supposed to mean?
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 10:33 am (UTC)[He doesn't think much of you, Douglas, so he'll probably just troll you for now.]
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 10:49 am (UTC)If I could tell you, I wouldn't've asked you what you meant in the fist place.
If this is about me workin' for Claudia before, you can forget about usin' that against me. That was over a long time ago.

[video]
Date: 2012-02-23 11:30 pm (UTC)[oh hey, it's that guy that Douglas knows he needs to make nice with, since he's his BFF's father and everything]
Not sure, but I guess there's no harm in tryin', right? Figure I won't ever know if I don't.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-24 12:27 am (UTC)[Excuse him for a moment. Harry is just remembering all the harm your detective work has caused and trying to remember his promise to Heather to try and get along with her friend.]
You can't be serious.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-24 08:27 pm (UTC)Things might've gone a little... south in the past with this sort of thing. But I've learned more than a couple of lessons about bein' used. What happened before... it's never gonna happen again.
[he makes a grim face]
I figure I need to do my part in helpin' out around Johto, and this is what I do.

Date: 2012-02-24 12:39 am (UTC)You're a detective?
[Samus, meanwhile, greets Sheldon and Kal-El, but she's eyeing those berries some too.]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-24 08:29 pm (UTC)Hey. It's been a while, hasn't it? [he gives a small nod] Bein' a detective was what I did back home. I figure some people might be able to use my services here, too.
[Sheldon pushes a couple over to her. He doesn't mind sharing. He just doesn't get along with Kal-El]
[action]
Date: 2012-02-29 02:13 pm (UTC)[He'll just be sitting down on a barstool next to you, Douglas. Samus is all too happy to take the berries Sheldon gave her; he's just made a new Lucario friend.]
Heh, so you probably won't be out of a job anytime soon in this place.
[action]
Date: 2012-03-01 08:09 pm (UTC)[he chuckles a bit]
I sure hope not. There's nothing more frustrating than bein' out of work, you know?
[Sheldon seems pretty happy at the prospect of making some new friends; he doesn't really get along with any of Douglas' other Pokemon. Here, have another berry Samus]

Date: 2012-02-24 01:41 am (UTC)I bet you'll get more interesting cases here than the ones at home.
[She still looks... well... gloomy and tired, but she's trying to sound positive.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-02-24 08:33 pm (UTC)Heather.
[have a big Douglas smile]
I'm sure I will. Since everyday life involves fightin' monsters, I can't even imagine what sorta problems people have here.
[his face softens after that and he gives her a slightly worried look, though he's still smiling]
Feelin' any better?
[Video]
Date: 2012-02-26 08:53 pm (UTC)[Her own expression fades a bit when he asks, but she nods, shrugging a little bit and smiling quietly.]
A little...
[Video]
Date: 2012-02-27 10:11 pm (UTC)You're right. I'm thinkin' that I'll have to worry about cheating wives siccing their Pokemon on the husbands. Should make for a hell of an interesting job.
[Douglas gives her a huge, warm smile, hoping it'll be infectious]
Good. How're your dad and Henry? You guys havin' fun?
[maybe if he changes the subject to them, she'll be able to forget about her own sadness]

Date: 2012-02-24 08:36 pm (UTC)Yeah, I am. It's my job, and I can't let comin' here stop me from doin' it.
Know of any mysteries around here?
video
Date: 2012-02-27 04:41 am (UTC)I do, actually! I... have some missing pokémon.

Date: 2012-02-27 10:12 pm (UTC)[he takes out a small notebook and pencil and flips to a blank page]
What kinda Pokemon, how many, and when did you last see 'em?
video; 1/2

Date: 2012-03-01 08:26 pm (UTC)[And it's a bit later when he decides to call it a day and head to the inn, sticks his head into the bar real quick to basically munch on the assortments of nuts they keep around. Because he likes them.]
[And looook who it is! The puppy trailing curiously but obediently behind him, he approaches the other detective, calling out briskly in greeting.]
Douglas!
[action] OH HELLO THERE. DON'T WORRY I'M ALWAYS LATE
Date: 2012-03-01 08:54 pm (UTC)Cooper! Evenin'. It's been a while, hasn't it? What've you been up to?
[action] WELL I FELT THIS WAS KIND OF OUTRAGEOUSLY SO
Date: 2012-03-01 08:57 pm (UTC)Nothing too exciting. Things have been on the easy breezy side lately, at least on my part. How about yourself?
[action] NOT AT ALL I JUST FINALLY TAGGED A POST MADE ON FEB 1, DON'T WORRY
Date: 2012-03-01 09:03 pm (UTC)Yeah, same thing for me. But I guess breezy's the default setting around here. Can't say I miss all the craziness back home. Gets a little slow now and then, but I can't complain.
[he glances at the puppy]
So, who's this guy?
