[~45, Video ]
Good evening, people of the City. This is Commissioner Elisa Maza, and I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that--
[ She is interrupted by the loud bang of her door opening. ]
Elisa! Hey boss, Lassiter took my green pens again!
[ Elisa scrambles to pause the video, but her fingers don't quite hit the disconnect button. ] Yusuke, you know what it means when the door is closed? It means you knock.
I know, but this is important. [Completely unabashed; he's still out of frame, presumably on the other side of the desk, line-facing.]
Yes, well considering you interrupted me in a message to the comm, it'd better be. [ Elisa blinks as she takes in his bruised face. She stands up and goes to the other side of her desk, accidentally bumping her comm enough so the frame shows both people. ] Good lord, what happened to you? Get into another fight?
Huh? Oh, yeah. It's nothing. But boss, listen. [beat.] Lassiter took all my green pens away again. [It's clear from his tone that he thinks this is important.]
[Elisa fights the urge to put her face in her palms. ] Yusuke, you are being a punk.
[Why does she not see how important this is.] I'm just trying to write my report and all my pens are gone!
[ She picks up one of the pens on her desk and tosses it at him. ] Congratulations, you now have a pen. You realize we do have a supply closet, right?
But this is just black. [He sounds crushed.]
Jeez, kiddo, you've made it sound like I just kicked Puu or something.
Black is boring. Can I have permission to turn Lassiter's desk upside and shake it till my pens fall out?
Why do you bother asking me stuff you already know the answer to? And just for the record, smartass, it's no.
I'd wait till he was out of the precinct to do it! [Because that is so helpful.]
Do you like giving me grief, is that what this is? Because if you do that, then I'll inevitably catch wind of it and be expected to Do Something.
Like what? [He sounds genuinely curious. Whatchu gonna do, Elisa?]
Something drastic. Something you won't like.
[Pauuuuuuse while he considers this.] Then can I just...go through his desk to find them? I won't break anything.
How about we compromise? You do me a favor, stay out of everyone else's desks because they're not yours and you should know better, and I'll make sure you can use the most lurid green pens you want for a week. [ She grins over at him. ] I'll even continue to ignore how you defaced that bust of Teddy Roosevelt in the main hallway, and yes, I know it was you.
[He looks shocked. Boss how did you know he was so sneaky!] It's a deal. You're the best, boss.
[ She grins over at him ] Yeah, you only think that because I let you get away with so much, kiddo. [ She reaches over to mess up his hair with a cheeky grin on her face. ]
[Yusuke shoots her three times in the stomach with the spirit gun without even flinching.]
[ Elisa freezes, looks at him in shock before collapsing to the floor, blood pouring out of her stomach. ]
[There's a minute of dead silence, before Yusuke blinks. All the color drains right out of his face; he looks absolutely horrified.] Wha--Elisa! Boss, fuck!
[He drops to his knees next to her, knocking the edge of the desk hard as he moves. There's a clattering noise as the comm rolls, then falls off the edge of the desk and cuts the feed.]
((OOC: Replies are from Yusuke alone, and they'll be a bit sporadic. <3))
