002 。 VIDEO - backdated a tad to this morning!

[Sup Somarium. Instead of Barnaby's usual sullen expression, he's showing a small, cordial sort of smile today.]

As a new member of Somni's police force, I thought I might attend the Banquet tomorrow evening. But I've been left with a small problem.

[The smile grows minutely as he eyes the camera, ever so charming. He's a celebrity, it's well- ( Read more... )

go away old man, police banquet, the goddamn bunny, and he's also a celebrity

Bringing your work from Sternbild to Somarium, are you Mr. Brooks? [A small smirk] How noble of you. You're everything a Hero should be.

Ah - I felt it would be the best application of my experience, Judge Petrov. Are you getting used to this place?

You've made a good decision. Perhaps you'll set records in Somarium, too. [He pauses, a small smile on his face] I'm slowly adjusting to life here. It's... pleasant.

[Ah, he has a question... It's important.]

By the way, is Kaburagi also a member of this police force?

[His eyes widen, and then narrow in scrutiny, his eyebrows knitting. He shakes his head in answer, but his mind is on something else the Judge said.]

Setting records, sir?

[He struggles to maintain the smile on his face]

You recently surpassed Mr. Legend's points-per-season record. I thought that was something you would surely remember, Mr. Brooks. It's... quite an achievement.

I broke the record? [He's been aware of the time differences, thanks to Kotetsu. But it had seemed to much to believe - this seems too hard to believe. He's silent for a few long moments before some strange intensity takes over and he leans forward, urgent. He should explain himself, he should tell him, but --

all thoughts of points and seasons falls apart in favour of something else.]

Judge Petrov, what happened to Jake Martinez?

[Caught off guard by Barnaby's sudden intensity, Yuri takes a moment to answer the unexpected question.]

You did break the record, Apollon is quite proud of you.

[He sighs, slightly frustrated and extremely confused as to why Barnaby is asking these questions... And then he remembers something he read in the records file - they must be from different times.]

Jake Martinez was killed as he was attempting to flee from both you and Wild Tiger.

Killed - [It's like his blood runs cold at those words. He swallows hard, wondering how. Because he can't deny to himself that the thought was one he'd entertained, more than once, and he'd sometimes feared that if he'd found the murderer, if he'd finally gotten his hands on him, he might've - but it can't have been. Not from what the judge has told him.

But to know that it's true. That he was stopped, that Stern Bild was saved - and that means...

Kotetsu was telling him the truth. Kotetsu had seen it happen.

Looking almost shellshocked, he sits back, nods vaguely to show he understands, even though he's not certain that he does.]

[He waits a minute or two to respond after seeing Barnaby's reaction. It was clear that this was something quite alarming to him and extremely upsetting.

With another sigh, he nods, confirming what he'd just said to the young Hero.]

Is there anything else you wish to confirm, Mr. Brooks?

[There's another long pause, before he speaks up.]

No. Thank you for telling me this, sir. [This is more than enough to think about, for the time being.]

Any time. If there's anything I can do for you or if you have any further questions now, or in the future, please let me know.

[A smile]

It would be my pleasure.

[He gives a nod, his focus clearly elsewhere.]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[And he disconnects there, because he has to think.]
