[Meanwhile, ninja spiderman is at his window. Or, well. Less at his window, more at the window she considers Mikado's but same thing. And you can't actually hear her until the window suddenly pops open. She could be quiet but oh well.

And she hops into the room like that.] Mikado, I told you to-

[Oh. She pauses and blinks at Kida.] Masaomi-kun, correct?

[Kida peeks out from under his arm, opening one eye to look at Erika]

You told him to what? Is Mikado having forbidden rendezvouses with strange and erotic girls right under my nose. What a relief. I thought he would be painfully single and awkward even at fifty.

[Kida is actually wary of strange girl coming through their window looking for Mikado, but he's not actually going to express or show that]

That's not fair though, you know my name. I hope he's not blowing it by talking about me while he should be talking you out of your clothes. What a lame move, Mikado.

[Taking the edges of her skirt, Erika curtsies to him.]

My name is Furudo Erika, the Detective. It is a pleasure to meet you. As far as Mikado is concerned, he is painfully virginal as always. I only warned him to lock the windows.

[And then she abandons the grace and poise to flop over on Mikado's bed.]

Don't be wary. I prefer using the window. Please think of me as a regular guest and treat me accordingly.

So you're Peter Pan and Mikado is your Wendy. What a romantic tale, it's just sad it hasn't ended in deflowering. Oh well.

[toys with a strand of her hair, because once flopping in beds happens, what's personal space]

Are you really a detective or is that just some kind of handle or alias?

[Observation #23: Masaomi has no personal space. Fine with her. She waves a hand.]

I'm the very embodiment of a detective. That is to say, yes I am. I just came by to bother Mikado. No deflowering was in my plans for the day, at least.

And what about the night?

They say the night is made for lovers. Who knows what may occur when the lights go off?

It's so sad that such an erotically charming girl is wasted on a guy like Mikado. Maybe I'll have to start disappearing in the night so you can come by and teach him what the night is really designed for.

[She giggles.]

You two must be each other's foils. Erotic to innocent, wary to trusting, hidden to open. What a nice framing. I have to appreciate your friendship purely for the narrative symmetry of it.

I see, I see. Are you one of those girls that loves the forbidden pleasures of 'boy love.' Or are you the type that would want to be the center of a 'boy love' situation?

Hmmm. If I had to choose only one, I would rather be in the center of it. But if it was going to be a drama, it would be better to just enjoy it from a good view.

I'm afraid ours is more like a comedy type setting, minus the school since we've arrived here in London. But I wouldn't mind being in the middle of any type of lewd or perverted thing if you were involved.

I can state with near certainty my tastes would be too extreme.

[She shuts one eye as she shifts to lay out on her stomach.]

Not that I mind our current game but if you want to know more about me, I would answer without tricks.

Near certainty isn't complete certainty.

[Kida puts his hands underneath his bed]

Why don't you tell me all the important things to know about you, and then I can ask questions.

What an impossible request. I can't know what you would think is important about me.

[No she can think of a few things but whatever.]

I have heard a saying that you can judge a person by their friends. One of mine is Willard. You aren't very fond of Willard, are you? He seems to think you're a brat. But it's a shame since you're fun. You remind Lion of her sister. Though, I would say you're more like Battler.

Oh? You're friends with Lion-chan and Will. [he wonders if she knows Ange, too, but he doesn't want to bring anyone into this conversation that hasn't been introduced to it by Erika, so he doesn't ask] Which one is Battler again? I want to know how proud I should be, since this guy must be great if I remind you of him.

[Tapping the side of her head.] Battler is a total idiot! But he's a worthy opponent when he wants to be. He would be the cousin Lion is closest to if I'm not mistaken. Something of a flashy pervert, though harmless and caring, an upbeat person who prefers everyone to get along and tries to cheer up situations. It makes him forgetful.

[Both eyes shut now, she kicks her feet lazily in the air.]

But I should correct you. Lion and I are not friends.

Does that make you two enemies? Oh, maybe this is the making of a romantic drama, and you're jealous of how close this handsome and charming and sexy Battler person is to his cousin Lion. You wish he would project all that affection and attention to you, hm?

[She bursts out laughing before managing to contain it to giggles.]

God, no. I doubt my taste is very good but let it be better than that. But 'enemies' is probably accurate.

Does that mean my own sexual charms and allure are lost on you? [Kida pouted, playing with Erika's hair idly] Why enemies?

I didn't realise you were trying to be alluring. [Erika's head tips closer. Hey, she's a stray. Nothing wrong with a little playing with her hair.] I don't consider us such. But it's fair to say she hates me.

[Hard to say how much, if anything, he knows about the games, so it's best to word it in a believable way.] Her family is so shady. All those terrible dark secrets and very illegal activity. As a detective, it was my job to expose all their crimes. Yes, especially the horrible actions of her adoptive mother, Natsuhi. No detail deserved to be left behind in the name of justice.

Edited 2011-11-17 06:45 (UTC)

Oh? Whose justice was that exactly?

[She pauses to pillow her head on her arms and shuts her eyes, completely at ease.]

I take back the Battler comparison. You didn't deserve that. It took him hours to realise I'm an unpleasant person. Though, it isn't much a compliment to be more competent than him but I can at least say that much.

[Erika twirls a hand in a vague gesture.]

It started out impersonal but I got annoyed. You won't understand but Lion wasn't involved... except in a very distant way. In fact, I got justice for her as well at the end. But I suppose she holds a grudge. Some people have blind spots for others. Her mother is an especially strong weakness.

Has Mikado caught on to your true nature yet? He's naive about a lot of things, and even if he realizes someone is unpleasant, he can go in with his own strange brand of wide eyed idealism.

[during all of this, Kida hasn't stopped playing with Erika's hair, and his tone is still pleasant and casual, albeit slightly forced]

[Erika is more surprised by the forced tone than anything.]

The latter, of knowing and still viewing me well. I did insist on my horrible personality but he insists back. I'm not going to try harder to push him away. He's...really nice. You don't need to worry about your friend by me at least.

[And admitting that to Kida is embarrassing.]
