Headin' out to lunch, should be fun. ♥

Hey you, crazy city, chill out for just a little while so I can enjoy myself!

Welcome to the city.

However, we do need to establish the fact that while you are the lieutenant in command, you do not know my people. You do not know this city.

Thank you for the assistance, it will be needed. But there are far more polite ways to get people to work together.

Eh? Was I being rude?

Didn't mean to be, sweetie. Didn't mean to overstep any boundaries, either.

But do me one favor, 'kay? Don't assume I don't know the territory I'm on. ♥ S'my job to dig beneath the surface, and I take pride in knowin' I'm damn good at doin' as much. I know this city like I know the linin' of my panties~!

Anyways, it'll be a pleasure workin' with ya. I'll try not to step on yer toes if ya try not to step on mine, alrighty, babe~?

You did step in and start giving orders, ma'am.

It is the duty of every cop to dig beneath the surface, and we're quite excellent at doing so. We have some very good officers here.

That's an arrangement I can agree to.

My name is Maes Hughes.

Call me Anko, Maes.

We're workin' towards the same goal here... ya catch more flies with honey than vinegar and all that jazz~! ♥

As fer the orders... s'what I'm used to doin'. I'll try n' be a bit more sensitive to you n' yer men and yer feelings, heh. In the meantime, we should hook up n' chat!

I'd like to hear yer take on everythin' that's goin' on.

Good to meet you, Anko.

So you will be the vinegar, then?

Thank you, and you should know that I'm married. Chatting is good, but I'm very happily married.

That could take hours, at this rate. Anything in specific?

[abandoned_curse]

Booo... that's rude. I'm the honey! Just you wait n' see!

Lucky lady, yer a catch. But I didn't mean hook up as in, like, you know... date. Haha! I meant steal some time outta our busy schedules and attack the situation -- verbally.

So whenever ya got the time, huh? I wanna know if anyone's been keepin' a tally on all the casualties and the like... and I wanna know what's bein' done to compensate the victims, if anythin'. I got a briefing... but unfortunately it was, well, brief.

The recent attacks... are they all by the same person or is there suspect of anyone else involved?

So we're the vinegar, then?

Thank you. Very good, that I can do.

I believe a tally has been being kept of the casualties by this culprit.

Bradley... is not exactly the talkative kind. I assume that's who briefed you?

The 'vigilante-esque' crimes we believe all perpetrated by the same culprit. Then there was a string of transient killings. There was also a far more gruesome killing of a young pregnant girl, and an interesting murder of yet another woman. On that last one, we have a tenuous lead. It's circumstantial, but it could be a connection. On the others, we don't have much.

...do me a favor.

Brownies? I'm pretty much known for those, thanks to my wife.

//private - unhackable to the filter//

[abandoned_curse]

Har, har. Humor aside, handsome...

...never refer to the murder of a woman as interesting around me again.

I don't think any of it is interesting at all. It's terrible. It's important to keep in mind, yeah... and it's better to face the facts, but interesting?

Nuh-uh, doll. Never.

But brownies sound good! ♥

[armed_with_pics]

It is indeed terrible. But the details of the crime itself are very interesting. Would you prefer a murder that didn't have any eye-catching details that would stick in your memory and help you find a link to a possible culprit?

//private - unhackable to the filter//

[abandoned_curse]

Memorable then, Maes... not interesting.

//private - unhackable to the filter//

[armed_with_pics]

Of interest to the police, Anko. And thus, interesting.

...Bonehead.

And you wondered why I called you the vinegar.

//private - unhackable to the filter//

[abandoned_curse]

Yeah, yeah.
