File 21 - Recovery

[truthinfortune]

Well, that was an exciting few days, wasn't it? At least my stay in the hospital wasn't completely boring. And I even got to take down a few of those shambling corpses myself! I can definitely see the appeal. No wonder Kaito and Hakuba looked like they were having such a good time!

I was discharged this morning, and Minato-kun took me home. Suffice

Naoto-kun! You're okay! I mean, I knew you were but... anyway. You got to fight the zombies?

[truthinfortune]

Hell yeah! I got some magical healing, so I'm as good as new!

And I've got to go back and help finish the job. Guess the invasion isn't quite over yet. I'm just glad Inaba hasn't been affected.

[det_goofball]

That's brilliant! I'm just glad you're not permanently damaged.

Yeah, that's... lucky, isn't it.

[truthinfortune]

So am I! There's no way I can just sit back and convalesce when I have school, the case, and the Halloween party to think about.

It's bad enough that we have to worry about a serial murderer on the loose. The less excitement here on the home front, the better. I'm just doing what I can to help others until this situation blows over.

[det_goofball]

Oh, yeah, you're going to the party as... ...something with a name that I've forgotten.

Yeah, you're completely right of course, monsters on top of this murderer would be a bit much. But still. Zombies.

[truthinfortune]

Admiral Miles Naismith, and Kanji-kun is going to be Sergeant Bothari. You're coming too, right?

...if you're capable of handling yourself, you could always get a worldhop to Ekoda and help out the task force here.

[det_goofball]

I wasn't sure whether to go, actually... I dunno what I'd dress up as.

Seriously?! 'Course I can handle myself!!

[truthinfortune]

Oh, but you have to come, Adachi-san! I want you to meet all my off-world friends. And I can help you think of a costume; I've been helping everyone else.

Well, at this point, I don't think they're going to refuse any aid offered...

[det_goofball]

Well, when you put it that way, guess I've got no choice! But you have to help me.

...I'll have to get by Dojima-san...

[truthinfortune]

Okay, first I need to know what sort of character or archetype you admire? Something from a book or a television show is the easiest way to go.

...most worldhoppers can be rather stealthy.

[det_goofball]

Hmm, like... the underdog? The guy that people overlook but in the end, he comes out on top!

Well, I'll see if they'd like my help then! And it's all for a good cause, Dojima-san will understand. I hope.

[truthinfortune]

The underdog, huh... How about Inspector Gadget? He seems like the bumbling sort, but he always gets his man! That's his motto!

If it weren't for the fact that Dojima-san has a little girl, I'd say let him come along, too.

[det_goofball]

...Naoto-kun, that's brilliant! Seriously, that's genius!

Aw, that would have been awesome, all of us teaming up against the zombies.

[truthinfortune]

Any costume where you get to wear a nice hat is a good costume. I can help you find what you need for it, as well.

Even so, as exciting as this may be, it's not a game. If you get bitten you will become a zombie.

[det_goofball]

You sure like your hats, don't you? And I'll need a big coat thing too. This is gonna be awesome.

Then I'd just have to be sure that I'm not bitten.

[truthinfortune]

Well, I like this hat. And a grey trench coat shouldn't be too difficult to acquire.

Are you trained in using a rifle? The best way to not get bitten is to stake out a spot out of reach and just snipe them when they get too close.
