> "Yeah.  Still haven't worked out everything, but I think I've made some headway."
> When should we leave if we want to make the Tenma appointment?
>"Yeah. What would normally be good news, but probably bad news at the moment. Ace looked into my background and says she can't find any reason anyone would want to tail me. I'm, ahem, 'boring'. Hell, I mightn't mind being a little more boring at the moment. But this means she hasn't found anything useful, and she's supposed to have crazy connections or something..."
>"She asked if I'd pissed anyone off. I mentioned the bit about Tenma and Akyuu's condemnation notice, again. I suppose if someone really wanted the place condemned for shady reasons, they mightn't be too happy about me getting someone else to prove it shouldn't be condemned. I'm still not convinced he's behind this, though."
>"Speaking of which, I do have an appointment with him this morning that I need to attend to."

>What time would we need to leave here to make our 10AM appointment?
>What time is it now?

>"Wow, those would have to be some connections," says Parsee. "...You don't think she's a hacker, do you?"
>"Yeah, but you got awhile yet, don't worry too much about it.
>It is 8:30. A D route bus should get you to Downtown in 15 minutes, at worst. But it may be a good idea to go home and get cleaned up, though you think you look fairly presentable, all told.

>Based on her normal schedule, do we think Orin would be up, yet?
>If so, give her a call and let her know we're still ok.

>"Well, the way you were talking about connections made me sound more like someone who just knew all the right people."
>You suspect she'd be up by now. You don't remember if she has class early or late today.
>You call home. The phone rings a few times before it is picked up, "Hello? Komieji Residence," says Orin.

> Consider showing Rin the video to prove we aren't insane.

>That might work. She probably wouldn't accuse you of editing it too much.

>"Oh, good!" says Orin, "I was worried. Um, nothing happened over here that we know about. Satori says she saw you messing around Miss Hieda's house yesterday? She wanted to talk with you, and ask about things, but she thought you were probably too busy with all the running around and stuff and didn't wanna mess up your date. How'd that go, by the way? Did you get any?"

I don't know that it was specifically mentioned, either way, actually.

> "Nah, not last night but maybe later."

>"Wait, rocks? Is that one of those middle east things she's into?"
>You tell a summarized version of the story of last night's events. It's getting surprisingly easy to tell people that you're haunted. "Okuu," Orin says, "If anyone else told me that story, I'd probably get mad at them for wasting my time. Even with you telling me, I'm seriously wondering if you're not imagining things or trying to play a trick on me. I mean...I don't want to say anything bad about you, but you have to admit it's a while lot to swallow."
>You ask Parsee about the video. "Lemme go check," she says, getting up from the table.
>You then answer her last question. Orin laughs. "There, now you sound normal again! Hey, um, sorry if I seemed like I was trying to tell you what to do yesterday. Just...I didn't expect you to run with a prank that much. But if it's what you want, go for it!"
>"Yeah, they sent it last night," Parsee says from across the room.

>"Sure, what's her email?"
>You give Parsee the proper address. "Sent," Parsee says.
>"Um, okay, give me a minute, Satori's playing Neopets, so I'll have to go to the other side of the house."
>You hear her walking along, she must not be holding the phone to her ear at the moment. A door opens and closes, then another one.
>A few moments later, she says, "Alright, just a minute. Okay, here it is." You can hear your words from that night very faintly through the phone. "...What the hell? This looks like a terrible photoshop! And this is real? Really?"

>"Yeah, it does. And...I'm trying Okuu, I really am. Just this is really hard to swallow. And there's a small part of me that wonders if this isn't payback for setting you up with Parsee like that." Her tone is light toward the end, she's probably just fooling with you.
