he's very nice and very pretty
i don't make friends easily, however...
i'd certainly count him among them.
he's also my partner -- for our detective agency, naturally. he's the detective part of it.

[matchbreaker]

Do you guys actually get that much work for that? If you're in charge of the agency part, that's on you, isn't it?

[elevelvetor]

it is, and not particularly... as far as very important official cases from fellow app users go.
primarily because we haven't had the time to properly advertise it, due to both of us having quit strict schedules.
our overarching case is rather difficult as well -- we're both interested in the mysteries of retrospec, as most of the user base is.

[matchbreaker]

I see.

Actually, do either of you guys have super powers yet?

I realize that's a random question, but I'm trying to become aware of what people can do so I can reference people who can help.

[elevelvetor]

i'm not at liberty to say for Akechi, but i can summon creatures known as Persona.
that's what Thanatos was back in August... and what my book is for.
i have a second now named Jack Frost. he's a snow fairy specializing in, well, snow and ice
ah, and also pranks.

[matchbreaker]

Are they like Silver's monsters? Well no, you said that one in October was a creature of your... self or something. Protective of you?

[elevelvetor]

that's right. he comes from within... or something like that.
i suppose technically he comes from my book...
regardless, that's the state of things

[matchbreaker]

Do they do things other than be big and scary and presumably strong?

[elevelvetor]

[ ... ]

Jack Frost does pranks, snow sculptures, and is your best ally in a snowball fight.
Thanatos is very good at moving boxes, and he's quite a good listener as well.

[matchbreaker]

You talk to them?

[elevelvetor]

naturally.
actually, Jack Frost is very fond of conversation as well

[matchbreaker]

Is it like talking to yourself or can other people talk to them?

[elevelvetor]

the latter

[matchbreaker]

Neat!

anyway if that's Akechi's business, I suppose I'll have to talk to him too.

[elevelvetor]

[ ...you know she could be nice but— ]

give him a thorough interrogation, Ms. Marker
he's a hard-boiled detective, after all. he can handle a little fire

[matchbreaker]

I don't think I'll need to do that.

But on that subject, how are you and Silver going?

[elevelvetor]

[ ...on that subject.

is she going to get an interrogation??? ]

we're both quite okay?
things are the same as ever between us

[matchbreaker]

The same as ever, huh?

[elevelvetor]

yes?
we were friends first and foremost, Ms. Marker
i don't see a reason to change that.
besides, i actually prefer this, though i can't say i know his feelings on it
though, i do believe he'd say something if he wanted to take it to the next level, to put it plainly

[matchbreaker]

You'd think! I was actually going to ask if he was causing problems for you, so in a way that's reassuring.

And you should still be friends, don't get me wrong there.

I'm just curious now though, if that's the case, why did you agree to a relationship?

[elevelvetor]

i didn't see a reason to refuse.
i'm quite fond of Silver, and i enjoy spending time with him
he's the first person to ask me out so plainly as well...
so perhaps i simply want to try this sort of thing out with someone i know i can trust

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

So you're telling me that it's a convenient thing?

No, that's too harsh - it's actually a good thing, at your age, to be aware of what you have and haven't tried and to try new things. I'm actually relieved to hear that.

[elevelvetor]

[ ...ah, good, she isn't mad. ]

thank you.
...i don't wish to hurt him though, and i'll do my best to make certain of that

[matchbreaker]

I know! You're a good girl, I can tell!

I've been more worried he would hurt you, honestly. I'm actually a little more concerned about *that* now.

[elevelvetor]

[ ......what an overwhelming fuss. ]

there's nothing Silver could do that would hurt me, Ms. Marker
thank you for the concern
