[policedefective]

Should we warn him? After all, tomorrow will be the same day.

[le_mat]

He's a smart guy, he's probably keeping his head down if he IS aware of the loops.

[policedefective]

I meant more what we're about to do but that's fair.

[Hmmm.]

If we do make away with the loot, let's just throw it into the city. Maybe keep just emough to have a good night at the bar and stay there until the morning comes. Well before the chaos comes anyway.

[le_mat]

If he saw two cosplay cowboys robbing a bank he'd just turn around, is what I mean. Even if he recognized me.

[He can picture Gladion's pinched annoyed face clearly]

And yeah, that sounds good- this isn't about the money, after all.

[policedefective]

Ahh..that's a shame.

[Goro might have done the same too if it wasn't him, truth be told.]

Hiving out the money would fit the Phantom Thieves as well...and Hereward. Let them have their fun before the situation arrives. Maybe we can try to help tomorrow.

[He looks very pleased with how this is shaping up.]

[le_mat]

Right... I don't want to lose the 38-8. Mr. Oskar is a good man, he doesn't deserve any Weird Monster Shit ruining his life.

[policedefective]

Let's think about that tomorrow when we aren't robbing banks.

[...]

Maybe a pike of money will help him tonight. Oh right speaking of which...

[He brings forth the piece-de-resistance of his entire outfit - literally woven bags that he had someone put large dollar and yen dollar signs on.]

I thought it would be more amusing.

[le_mat]

...

[He tries not to laugh, sputtering hard]

Oh... oh no. It's perfect.

[policedefective]

Can't be a proper getaway without a good finish...right? Besides the face on the bank tellers once we show them these bags...

[They'll both look like idiots and he knows it, and doesn't care.]

[le_mat]

[He moves over to where he tossed the comb and gel and starts working on his hair.]

You know, I'm a little surprised. I mean, I haven't met a persona-user who isn't at least a little in it for the Drama... but I didn't think you would be interested in something this silly.

[He tilts his head]

It's interesting, learning something new about the Detective.

[policedefective]

[At those words, the smile he has briefly falls, almost like he was reminded of who he is vs who he projects to be. Something else too. He knows it's a sort of compliment, but...]

Well, I'm not even a righteous detective prince. It's not so farfetched, is it?

[le_mat]

I like this side.

[Said so bluntly]

And I guess I'm not a righteous Phantom Thief anymore either.

[policedefective]

['I like this side...' is not something he had expected and he briefly looks confused, as his wings betrayed him by flapping a few times.]

I suppose we're a little more open now due to this place...it feels nice.

[le_mat]

Nothing to gain or lose now, right?

[He's still fighting to tame his curls, but the effect is already becoming clear- slicked down the kelp stands out more, and it makes his face look sharper, more angular.]

[policedefective]

That, and we can do what we want as a fresh new start. No one cares about our histories but ourselves.

[It's liberating, that's for certain. He looks over at Akira and...hmm...oh...]

...you should do that more often.

[le_mat]

Like it? It never stays down for long, no matter how much I try,

[policedefective]

[He was about to argue he hadn't saud that, but realizes he HAD said that.]

If you end up becoming a demon, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[le_mat]

Even before the kelp it was pretty untamable- this just made it worse. Like I just showered 24/7.

[He sighs a little dramatically]

It'll stay for now though. Though... as a demon, it might be a fun look.

[He smiles in a hard to read way- it could be innocent. It could be anything but]

[policedefective]

[It's hard to guess, and it frustrates him due to it, nevermind that Akechi is still Clueless. Maybe it's just a pattern with detective princes.]

The bed hair look was never lost on you.

[Helping your cause, Goro.]

[le_mat]

Hey now, it takes a lot of work to look like I don't care what I look like.

[Wink]

[policedefective]

[Blink. Blink. Why are you winking at him?]

...well we both...work hard on our looks despite appearances.

[Nailed it.]

[le_mat]

[He stares at him a moment like he can't decide if Akechi is dense or something else. How are you so immune to his flirting???

(if only he knew) ]

I mean, it was easier before I looked like a creepy girl living in a well.

[policedefective]

[Great. Why is he pausing now? Urgh. This is frustrating.]

You know...I never even thought about that. Seven days, right? Maybe that's how long this will last.

[le_mat]

A week sounds about right for this kind of thing.

[He finishes his hair- it staying down as well as it's going to. That done he grabs the scarf and wraps it around his throat before tugging it up to cover his mouth and nose]

Well? How do I look?

[policedefective]

Hmm. I think it's missing something.

[He moves his hands briefly and water from the nearby faucet drips out before forming a sort of pair of watery wings on his lower back. It's for show and matches the fire Akechi plans on using. Ying and Yang again.]

Ahhh...but I suppose I won't be able to hold that up for long unless you're the one who ends up making the demands.
