Real World Office

NB was kinD enough to invite us to Sleuthfall Offices. As for our iDentities, we're from an alternate worlD. A shaDow magic portal maDe by our versions of Team Sleuthfall brought us to this one. I'm DiamonDs Droog's counterpart, DeaDeye Detective. AnD you must be AD.

thAt's Ace Dick to you, sir!

*Ace's initial confusion and anger has given way to just confusion.*

so, uh…how exActly DiD you know who i Am, AnywAy? AnD whAt Do you wAnt with me AnD my colleAgues?

You're almost iDentical to our AD. Initials appear to remain constant, although names change. As for what we want, we were just asking for information about this worlD before you entereD.

informAtion? whAt kinD of informAtion?

Ace! So good to see you!

*NB waves at AD*

I thiNk these geNtlemeN waNt to kNow what's BeeN happeNiNg here lately aNd proBaBly also iN which ways our world differs from theirs.

Sadly, I do Not kNow too much myself, siNce I haveN't BeeN here for a while.

I thiNk there was a Big fight Not too loNg ago. I met a rather Nice girl, eveN if she was lookiNg a Bit odd...

SomethiNg aBout someoNe Named CaliBorN I thiNk?

Oh, aNd Pickle was kNocked out via shadowmagic wheN he fought Slick, I thiNk?

I hope he wakes up sooN...

*Ace suddenly notices NB over there. He'd somehow missed her in his initial scan of the room.*

oh, hi there, nb. DiDn't see you over there.

*Ace returns the wave, and listens to what NB has to say.*

"cAliborn", eh? sounDs like some sort of perpetually-pissed off miDget. shAme i wasn't here to beAt some sense into his heAD.

i woulDn't worry too much About pickle, miss. he's surviveD worse, remember?

You're right Ace, I proBalBly shouldN't worry aBout him so much.

So the only perSon who could help uS iS in a coma then

iS there anyway to wake him up?

and Surely you know more than that?

Well, he was kNocked out via shadow magic But I hope he'll wake up sooN.

ANd I guess I could kNow more But I doN't kNow what you doN't kNow, I really doN't kNow what I caN do to help you...

MayBe you could tell us how you came here?

As I saiD, the Twilight ScounDrels, your Team Sleuthfall's counterparts, createD a shaDow portal. We followeD them to this worlD by going through it.

so you're sAying thAt there's A bunch of knockoffs of me AnD pi AnD ps running ArounD somewhere?

yeS that iS exactly what we are Saying

well, then whAt Are we sitting ArounD this office tAlking for? there Ain't but one Ace Dick, AnD thAt's yours truly!

…AnD those other guys too, i guess.

but AnywAy, let's go trAck these DoppelgAngers Down AlreADy!

((Wait, so are we retconning Angry Delinquent into being there all along, or did he still stay behind? Meta, it's your choice I guess, I don't remember you saying anything about it))

((Their AD didn't come along originally though it WOULD make sense if he did. I'd be more then okay with retconning him in))

((Ah, right. Forgot about that. I'd be fine with retconning AU!AD in if it doesn't mess with established story details too much. I for one think it'd be fun to have AD struggle with the idea of an alternate universe version of himself.))

((We could retcon you in, they didn't do much yet so we could say you were simply standing next to them quietly the whole time))

((Awesome. That sounds good.))

((that does mean you need to take control of him though, are you ok with taking control of two characters?))

ok we Should head back to the centre of town then and See if we can find any clueS that lead uS to where we need to go

((Considering it's just been arranged that I'm taking over Kanaya for the time being until a) the original RPer returns or b) someone new shows up and wants to be Kanaya, I think I'm up to it.))

All right, i'll follow you there.

AgreeD. Let's go.
