A lot of drunk threads, lately...

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

[Sunday morning comes quietly, for once (but not too surprisingly for such a small country town). Last night, on the other hand, was loud, because Dojima tended to loosen his lips when he had alcohol in his system, and the lack of coordination didn't do any good for their stumbling over the Dojima residence front stair, either. By the time everyone had been settled, Adachi had been too tired to even lift a finger, all but crashing onto the living room couch and passing out. In fact, you could find him in similar position come dawn - sprawled out with one arm thrown over the back of the chair and the other suspended like a bridge between seat and coffee table, mouth open and, for all extensive purposes, dead to the world.]

...mmmno don't want...mmn n'more coffee sir...

I'll get the bill.

[Instant one-eighty, there. Was he expecting that?]

R-really? Whoa! Generous! I'll go get my shoes!

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

Take your time, I'm gonna need a shower.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'll wait here.

[His mood seems sunnier than a clear day on a beach. Is a free meal that important? By the time Dojima is done, in fact, the two mugs are even rinsed and sitting upside-down by the sink to dry. Adachi is sitting on the living room couch again, looking out the window (out and up, at rooftops and television antennae he can't see.)]

Could have turned on the TV, you know.

You ready to go?

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

[Adachi jerks at the sound of the voice, whipping around like he was caught red-handed. That might be odd, too, but like Dojima said, there was a lot that was odd about him. He stands up, shrugging.]

Nah. All the weekend morning programs are kiddie cartoons. I...usually only watch TV at night.

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

C'mon. Let's go.



Aiya's probably open around this hour.

[He steps out first, so that Dojima can lock the door behind him, and slowly ambles towards the car, looking up at the sky.]

Man, too bad it's clear today. I've been wanting to try out their Rainy Day Beef Bowl challenge, but we're always working when it pours.

There’s no helping it. There’s been a trend in weather with the case, y’know.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

[Adachi stops walking, but he doesn't turn around.]

Yeah? I didn't even notice. How do you figure?

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

You really that dense..?

Think about it. Weather always acts up right before the disappearances. Got no idea why. Could be a coincidence. My guess is that the guy's using it as some kinda a trademark.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, you have a point there. Maybe it's part of the serial killer's M.O.! But...it seems like a pretty irregular trigger...aren't they usually more regular with that sort of thing?

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

Guess at this point there's really no telling. Only two have turned up dead, after all.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

[As per habit, Adachi slips into the passenger seat, immediately pulling the safety belt over his shoulder. In fact, he does it so often that the seat is already adjusted to fit him just right - long limbs, knobby knees, and all.]

That's true. Can't be much of a 'serial killer' if there's only two cases, huh?

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

No telling for sure if the kidnappings are even related at this point.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

Well, I sure hope so. Otherwise, that means we've got two guys to catch, and we already have our hands full with one.

Sheesh, for such a small town, Inaba sure seems to get its share of excitement.

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

Can't say this 'is been a normal occurance up until now.

[implausibility.livejournal.com]

[Already out the door, Adachi jumps into the store without quite waiting for his partner, already taking two seats at the counter. He has already ordered by the time Dojima even enters through the door, looking like a kid whose birthday came early.]

Man, this is great! It's been ages since I've had time for this stuff!

[inabapd.livejournal.com]

Work's keeping you that busy?
