[Anyone that has encountered Adachi for the past two weeks will have noticed the all too obvious changes. His usually unkempt hair is actually neatly combed and styled, he actually wears his suits properly, and he is apparently sporting a pair of glasses. The only thing

Well, that's a relief. I mean, I really don't know too much about these drones so I was hoping he wasn't too... wild. And honestly? I never had that reliable of a memory to start with. ...Not exactly something a former detective should be admitting, but, eh. I think I remember... brief flashes of things. But it mostly felt like I was just sleeping a lot.

Uhm, and I think it's been around two weeks? At least, that's what Rider says.

[iheartcabbage]

Just like the rest, then. ...Yeah, that's really not any better by any means. [Adachi would have to agree with that one.]

...Disappearing? Do I want to know?

[iheartcabbage]

Ah, Tohsaka-chan.

Rider said I've been like this for a couple of weeks now. I feel pretty bad for just up and leaving her like that. ...Not that I really had any control over it, but still.

[iheartcabbage]

H-hey, what is that supposed to mean? It's not like I'm some shitty wife beater or something!

[Geeze, why so defensive Adachi?]

I mean, I'm pretty sure she's doing okay. She seems like the type that would actually kick my ass if I did anything to anger her, you know?

...As for me, I'm fine. Other than wondering how the hell I get my hair back to normal.

You promised to buy me lots and lots of ice cream Adachi!

[ no not really ): ]

[iheartcabbage]

W-wait, what!? Seriously? B-but, I already promised you once! I don't have that kind of money to spend on lots of ice cream!

[partytoastess]

That's okay, Adachi. I'll be generous this time! But you really did promise me~!

[ no, he didn't but oh well. ]

2/2 woops....

[partytoastess]

You can treat me to ice cream once a week!

I experienced it a while ago myself...it does feel weird.

Re: Phone

[iheartcabbage]

You're not kidding. That... just... icky feeling that somebody else was in control of your actions. I feel tainted almost.

But, at least we seem better now, right?

Hopefully! Let's hope that it doesn't happen anytime soon!

Anyway, what was the last thing you remember?

[iheartcabbage]

[The last thing... He's tapping his bottom lip in thought now, not that... she can actually see.]

Just... the usual boring stuff after that failure of a party I threw, really.

[breaker_gorgon]

[Rider had spent the last few weeks as though she were, herself droned.
She went about her regular house business but made it a point to avoid the droned Adachi at every opportunity.
However, tonight the voice calling her to the front door was much different than the one she'd been subjected to recently.]

Adachi? Have you...come back?

[iheartcabbage]

[Indeed, this was no longer the drone that had taken his place for so long. Although he hadn't really had the time to properly make himself look like.... well, himself yet, it was pretty obvious. His often spacey demeanor was back, as well as that hint of akwardness that always arose when he tried speaking with, well, anyone really. But especially her. It was just his nature.]

Rider... I, er, that is... How... long was I gone?

[breaker_gorgon]

[She'd waste no time in rushing to his side.
Sure enough that stuffy, polished drone had been replaced with a fidgeting, disheveled, and confused looking Adachi; the one she knew and loved.
She could only look on for a moment in disbelief.]

...Quite some time, I'd say.
Do you feel alright?

[iheartcabbage]

[Quite some time probably meant at the very least a couple of weeks. That... didn't make him feel any better. Did he really leave her alone for that long? ...Knowing her, she probably shut herself in and just read books. He'd have to make it up to her some time, but for now...]

Yeah, I think I'm alright. But what about you? I-- er, he didn't do anything, did he? [Because he really isn't sure what a droned version of him would do besides... well, what all the other drones do.]
