First Case

[onceaguardian]

If I heard my messages correctly, I'm supposedly stuck in this town to collect jewel shards. Does this happen often? I don't mind helping everyone out, but I can't say I quite expected to wake up here either

Mr. Wayne.

Surprising to find you on this frequency.

I suppose even Haven's elite aren't immune.

/string of fails!

[onceaguardian]

["So my role hasn't changed from Gotham to Haven. Good to know."] Perhaps not. Even the elite have to pay their dues to society every now and then.

Now, why is it so surprising to find me here?

*sees nothing!*

[ashyperfume]

I didn't know getting sucked from one world into another constituted a due to society.

Perhaps from that you can infer my surprise.

You're the best! ♥

I suppose it wouldn't be every day that Kane Industries' favorite financial adviser was replaced with another Bruce Wayne.

May I ask who you are? I'm afraid you weren't around in Gotham.

[ashyperfume]

Favorite?

And that would be because I was here, leading my own life as it was. Fuu Fukuyama. I'm a reporter for the city newspaper.

[onceaguardian]

[Oh snap not more reporters.] It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Fukuyama.

I suppose it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume you knew the other me.

[ashyperfume]

Mm, I did a story a couple of years ago. Kane's up and coming CEO, the man behind the myth, back when they put me on more of the society tripe. Attended a couple of the charity events.

High society seems to be quite fond of you, Mr. Wayne, though I wonder if you'll be more reassuring to the shareholders.

[onceaguardian]

Hm... Perhaps. We'll have to see with time.

So you don't report on high society events anymore?

[ashyperfume]

Mm. You're not a man who gives much out, are you? Somewhat different than your predecessor.

And not if I can help it. However, we're a smallish newspaper by comparison to larger cities, in the middle of an age where the newspaper art is dying, so . . . who knows? You might find me lurking.

I'll be the one with a drink in my hand and looking about to kill something.

[onceaguardian]

I like to keep a little mystery. It makes life more fun.

That's certainly one way to enjoy a party. If you have to kill something by the end of the night? I suggest the ice sculptures. No one ever liked those swans.

[ashyperfume]

A difference in upbringing, then . . . because it's apparently not a difference in genetics, if the evidence of the rest holds true. Hm?

I'll keep it in mind . . . though I did always like birds.

[onceaguardian]

It may very well be. I'm not as knowledgeable on my other self as you are, so I'll leave you to decide for the time being.

Oh? They're certainly beautiful creatures.
