The handwriting here is deliberate, but with very awkward pressure levels on the ink, as if the writer is more used to writing with a brush than a pen.]

I could not have come here by natural means. The calendar gives the date as the day after the last day I recall, yet I appear to have crossed two oceans in the space of a night. I cannot afford to

Hello, Naoto! My name is Charlotte. It's a pleasure to meet you. Your presence here will be most useful, I suspect, as none of us are sleuths by trade.

/ffff he's trying to be such a gentleman to the lady

A pleasure to finally speak to you, Miss Charles. Thank you for your confidence in my skill, I believe it is fully merited.

Might I ask you a few questions, either through this book or in person? Your name has come up as having observed most of these phenomena, and from my observations you seem to be the most familiar with these matters of anyone here.

[A pause. She's a little thrown by the fact that he knows her last name. Perhaps Allelujah told him.]

Of course, Mr. Shirogane. I would be happy to assist you in any way I can - the sooner we can get all of this sorted out, the better.

iirc it came up in a journal thread?

How would you prefer to meet, madam? My English is [a pause] limited, but staying in this one room at a book, when you know the person is only a a few moments' walk from you, grows rather wearing.

[[ooc: a log?]]

go go gadget detective skills!

[melikaithanato]

I presume you are not in my house, as Allelujah and Sheldon are here, but I would be willing to join you at your house. I do speak Japanese, though it is admittedly rusty, so I hope you will pardon if I make any errors.

[ooc: sure! would you like to start it or shall I?]

I should add you to my AIM

[mysterymachines]

Gladly, after I have an opportunity to further search the house. I believe I live next door to you. This evening?

[[how about you, at your leisure? I have law homework so tagging's going to be slow in any case.]]

I should be on AIM :x

[melikaithanato]

An excellent plan. I shall be there at seven o'clock.

[ooc: here you go! take your time, homework comes first!]
