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.
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 11:43 am (UTC)[Go on. How long? All information is good information]
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 11:52 am (UTC)Stop pretendin' you don't know what I'm talkin' about. It's drivin' me crazy.

Date: 2012-02-23 12:03 pm (UTC)What's different?
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 12:06 pm (UTC)Deduce.
[Is it really so hard to guess, Douglas? He came here when he died, so on arrival of Route, the whole child mishap wasn't so long ago.
Heather on the other hand is... oh, a year or two older now? So hers was a long time ago.
Now what about you?]
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-23 12:12 pm (UTC)So, timelines are different. That's what you're sayin', isn't it? That's why Heather's so much older than I remember her.
It was only a couple of months for me, after it all happened.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-23 07:05 pm (UTC)Are you sure that's such a good idea?
[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.
[action]
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.]
[Video]
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.]

Date: 2012-02-24 03:52 am (UTC)[OH FRABJOUS DAY IT'S JUST LIKE EVERYTHING HEATHER TOLD HIM.]
[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.
[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]
[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: 2012-02-24 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: 2012-02-25 03:16 am (UTC)[He doesn't say anything for a moment. ...Well he promised he'd try....]
Good luck with that then.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-25 03:21 am (UTC)Thanks. I appreciate the well wishes, Mr. Mason.
[Voice]
Date: 2012-02-26 07:23 pm (UTC)... You did live, right?
[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...

Date: 2012-02-27 04:41 am (UTC)I do, actually! I... have some missing pokémon.
