[Adachi's been doing a lot of thinking this whole month, but especially since the world change happened and he found himself in 2011 again. Now that this particular date has rolled around though... well for once he feels like writing something personal]
[Private - written]
December 22, 2011
that date look familiar to you? because it really fucking should. if it doesnt then wow youre in for a real doozy in a few months kid. id make this a warning except youre going to forget when you leave this place
this is the day your my our game ended
if you dont know which game i mean then hi younger me get ready for the giant shit lifes going to eventually take on you you naive bastard
if youre reading this at all then [he pauses] it means i went home at some point. i know youre confused right now but eventually youll get used to it
for me its been a year. since *that* date i mean. the 3 months i spent in jail + the 9 months ive spent here. it feels pretty strange really. the castle brought us to paris (yes that paris) and the calendars all say 2011. it also gave me my job back and a lot of money and a nice place to live. nicer than the dump in inaba. being here with all this on the day everything ended feels so weird. im sure the castle did it on purpose- even the nicest things it does arent really nice in the end. showing me the life i couldve had if i hadnt fucked everything up is pretty nasty actually
[he's still not sure how he should be feeling about this]
anyway point is ive had a lot of time to think and i wanted to tell you something in case i leave and have to start all over again
dont you dare fuck this up too
weve screwed up everything. but what you might not realize is this is a second chance for us. you should enjoy it while you can and try not to royally ruin everything like youve ruined the rest of your life
since you have to start all over again let me tell you about some people you should seek out provided they havent been sent home either
-colette just [pause] go to her. or if anything shell probably come to you. dont push her away for once dont push someone away. just trust me on this. shes seen your brain. shes seen your shadow even if she doesnt understand what it was. right now she doesnt know everything though. seek her out if you need anything. shell definitely help you.
-courage hes a dog and a really good dog. he saved your life the last time you were here and likes you a lot for whatever reason. if you kick him i swear to fuck you really are the dumbest piece of shit
-nepeta shes kinda weird shes an alien who always writes in green and makes cat puns and has grey skin and horns and weirdest of all she thinks youre a good person. dont waste that
most of the troll kids are cool but nepetas helped you the most. vriska is another one to check out. keep your ties away from terezi
-fluttershy shes a pony. no really. but shes nice. and likes you. for whatever dumb reason.
-uru another nice girl who keeps talking to you even though you cant even begin to understand why any of these people talk to a horrible person like you who doesnt deserve their kindness to begin with
there are some other people too but these are the ones most likely to actually remember and approach you [makes a note on the side of the margin: add more later if need to]
also about the kids: avoid if you can. not all are going to break your face in some have been surprisingly civil. but they come and go. see how they react to you first and for crying out loud do not antagonize them
dont ignore nanako. if youre from where im from then i know you think thats best. but dont. shes starting to warm up to you again. work at it. shes a good kid and this place has put her through a lot. if she ends up all alone again then youll just have to do your best to be there for her
lastly if your loss is anything like mine then let me get rid of those months of wondering for you
his name was dojima. hes nanakos father. he was your partner. right now i dont really know anything else. the castle took away all my memories of him. i guess there was nothing else to take
he was here for a little while but it took him away again. if he comes back... please dont avoid him. youll regret it. i know its the last thing youll want to do but trust me this is one regret you dont want. hell yell at you and maybe hit you- he has that right. endure it. stop running. if the castle takes him away again youll hate yourself just like i do
if you do somehow remember him then youre a lucky fucker
dont mess up the road i paved for you. dont let something like this day happen to you again in this new place
[now with all that out of the way...]
[Filtered Away from any canonmates who would have not nice things to say about this - dictated]
Hey everyone! Detective Adachi here! Haha, wow I actually get to say that again! I didn't think I ever would! [his tone sounds a lot more cheerful and childlike than usual]
Anyway, I got my old job as a police detective back. So if you need the police for anything just let me know, okay? For any fellow resident, I'm on the case! [laughs a bit to himself oh god he's having too much fun with this HE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT] For some reason I'm not having any trouble understanding French so don't worry, I got your back.
[Nanako]
How are you holding up? Everything all right on your end?
[Remilia]
Tiramisu or cheescake tonight?
[and with all that done Adachi's going to take care of his patrol rounds. Feel free to run into a plain clothes cop on duty!]
