Case File 02 [Voice/Action, Early evening]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata has spent the better part of the last month stalking around the village, looking surly and generally pretty cranky.  Anyone who tries to bother him was pretty much ignored, as the Inspector seemed somewhat absorbed in his own thoughts.  Today, however, is a little bit different.  He's finally over his...brooding and grumbling and seems to

Nothing is stopping you from changing your job here. And we all could have been a lot of things.

[Voice]

[greatinspector]

Yea...I guess thats true. But...when I get back I can't just...y'know...stop being a policeman. Hell, I've been a cop for nearly 25 years. All those instincts don't just fade away.

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Then you take your instincts and everything you've learned on the job and adapt them to something new. Got skills you can teach? Yeah them. Have something new you've always wanted to try? Try it.

[Voice]

[greatinspector]

[He sounds like he's slightly sobered up...slightly]
Eh? Teach? I...guess...I could do that. Could give lessons on handcuffing scumbags from a distance. I guess...I just never thought I'd be stuck in a place where being a cop is pointless, and where I'd actually be...y'know...settled down.

[a pause, then the satisfied grunt of a man drinking a shot of something strong]

Who the heck are you anyway?

Picking up new hobbies helps. Perhaps try a new routine or weapon at the Battle Dome, or stop by the open courses at the school? Or take advantage of the warm weather while we still have it, and an outdoors activity instead.

Re: [Voice]

[greatinspector]

Hmm...that is an idea. A hobby...geez, I never figured I'd find myself with time for an actual hobby...

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

Is there anything you're interested in? We might have the resources for it around here.

[Voice]

[greatinspector]

I hear people my age are expected to pick up golf. Me, I've always figured it'd be kinda fun to take up cooking, or learn some new martial art to smack crooks around with.

[Comes and sits down next to him. Wow his two best friends are super drunks. This either bodes well for him in comparison, or really badly.]

For justice. And you should probably have a little less booze.

[Action]

[greatinspector]

Yea...justice. But...is there really any justice in this place?

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Tsk. Of course there is. You just have to find it for yourself. No bosses, no one to to hold yourself accountable to other than the people around here. Justice isn't just laws and enforcement of it.

[Action]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata puts down the drink, and stoppers the bottle]

Yea, I guess you're right. Gotta make sure people can find their way home at night, without being bothered too much. And keeping the peace. We really outta start that watch thing, at least go out lookin' for new people in the woods.

Re: [voice]

[greatinspector]

Thats pretty funny coming from you, Goemon. But yea, I guess you're right. I guess more what I'm gettin' at is, y'know, is it really my duty anymore? I don't think I have justidiction here.

[voice]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata does note the change in voice. He's a little drunk, but...he knows Goemon fairly well]

Yea. You are right, Goemon. I dunno whats going on anymore. Maybe its cabin fever. Maybe its...not having...that guy around...or maybe I just need a hobby.

What do you do for fun, anyway?

Not everyone can leave and go out on adventures. It actually sounds kind of nice.

[greatinspector]

Anyone can have an adventure. All it takes is the willingness to go out and do it. Then there are the people that don't know how to sit still

[sea_king_bait]

If only it was that easy. Even leaving my island is kind of a big deal, where I'm from.
