[It's absolutely pouring today, here in Fagsona land, and who else should you see but your friendly neighborhood gas station attendant, standing out in the rain without an umbrella? S/he's pretty much soaked to the bone, but it doesn't seem to faze her. Quite the opposite, in fact.]

Crazy weather we're having, huh? It's almost like a typhoon!

[Just starting up a nice, friendly conversation here then maybe she can touch your handdd!]

Oh, hey there, officer! [She gives a little wave.] It's been a while since I've seen you around! [Just smiles, seemingly oblivious to his bad mood, or the fact that she's dripping water everywhere.]

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A blink, then a small, slightly unenthusiastic wave back.]

Hey. You're... not bothered by the rain?

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Nope! You're never too old to play in rain puddles, you know! [Except she's giving off more of a 'drowning victim' vibe, rather than one of a kid playing in the rain.]

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Dojima begs to differ, but... He always tells Souji to enjoy his youth while he can. Shrugging one shoulder, he leans against a pole, looking up at the clouds. ...Hopefully Nanako brought the laundry in.]

I guess.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

But it's just a hassle for you, right? Don't worry, I'm sure it'll clear up soon.

[So un-talkative, Dojima. >(]

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Everything's a hassle for Dojima. B( Rain, nephews, incompetent partners, daughters-]

It is when investigating... Let's hope so.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. How's that murder investigation coming, by the way? Have you guys made any progress?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Dojima rubs his forehead. The look on his face probably makes it obvious, but he answers anyway.]

Not a damn hint towards a suspect. All the trails are dry.

[Then he looks over.]

Between you n' me, got it?

[Oh, the irony.]

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

[Just as planned-]

Oh, don't worry, officer, I won't tell a soul! People are gettin' kind of nervous though, what with the lack of new information...

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I guess it's no secret anyway.

[A sigh, and he loosens up a little.]

We're doing what we can, though; rest assured.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Of course! I wouldn't expect any less from the Inaba PD! [She smiles widely, and there's totally nothing vaguely creepy about it at all.]

There've been a lot of weird rumors circulating about who the murderer is, though... Seems as if everyone in town has been accused at least once!

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

...Thanks, I guess.

[It's a little odd to him, somehow, but he still manages to smile faintly. Although her next statement makes him sigh again.]

I'm sure a lot of the rumors are just impatient people assuming.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. But... [Her voice turns low, conspiratorial.] It does have to be someone around here, right? So one of those guesses has to be true...[aaand it brightens again.] Pretty creepy, huh?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A blink or two at the gas station attendant's words, considering. This person's moods almost seem as spastic as the weather. But...]

Interesting way of putting it. Maybe you should be a detective.

[It'd certainly give me a break, for once.]

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Haha! No, I think the only thing I'm qualified for is pumping gas. But it is fun to gossip, isn't it?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A quiet grumble of, "So long as it's not this constant badmouthing of the police department."]

I guess gossip is harmless.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Ah, I know, it's not really a guy thing, is it? [Though, you know, it's kind of hard to tell if gas station attendant-tan here is actually a girl or not.]

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[He almost, almost blurts out, "Oh, you're a girl?!" But stops himself, clearing his throat.]

Aha, I guess not.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

[But she never said she was a girl either 8D]

Ha! We should leave that stuff for old housewives, I think. Let's see... Oh, you know, it's been a little while since I've talked to your nephew. How's Seta-san doing?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[She practically admitted it just then, come on. He's still a detective, if just a bit slow. Bl]

Oh, right, you two met, huh? He seems to be doing well. Hangs out with his friends quite a bit...

[And if you didn't know better, Dojima might sound a little suspicious of his nephew there.]

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

[So it'd be funny if she referred to herself as a guy later, right?]

Aw, sounds like he's having a good time! Inaba is still a great little town, despite all the recent tragedies...

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[...he'd be suspicious. 8| What with girls gallivantin' around like they're boys. cough naoto]

Yeah... Can't help but call it home, y'know? It grows on you.

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

It's true! Ha, I almost feel like I've always lived there. [Hm, when did Ms. GSA here come to Inaba, anyway? She's just so gosh darn innocuous and normal.]

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

So you haven't always lived here?

[Wow, look, he's having normal conversation!]

[onlyrainydays.livejournal.com]

Nope! [Definitely not.] Have you?

I'm just gonna assume Dojima has okay I don't remember if he says anything about it. :T

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

Yep. My whole life.
