[Beat uses so many new words that Heizou's never seen or heard before. He can piece their meanings together from the context, but... It does take him a second.]
A detective, yes. [He also takes that second to attempt to correct him.]
A bounty has been put up on you? Did something happen, or do you think you're being wrongfully accused?
[For a second, Heizou just. Stares and stares at the screen.
Because what in the world, seriously.]
I did see that posting, yes. Even now that I know it's you, it still doesn't make any sense. Are you sure you weren't doing anything particularly strange? Did you speak to anyone that might have felt uncomfortable with you?
nah yo! was wearing it for my girls birthday cause its from a show she likes talked to a coupla people while we was going around for dragons gale but i didnt do nothing funny we was just chilling
I couldn't say! Maybe it reminded them of something that terrifies them. They could also have recognized the costume itself and reacted badly to it. Or perhaps they're simply offended by anything they think of as abnormal. We won't know for sure without investigating further!
Ah, so it's possible our perpetrator (so to speak) saw your face. Do you have any enemies from home that may have wound up here and recognized you?
It's all right, Beat. It's part of what detectives do, after all! And admittedly your bounty is quite the odd mystery. One that just might be worth investigating. But just one more thing... Which faction here are you a part of?
Oh? But the bounty posted on you doesn't have an image of your face. No one should be able to come after you for it unless you're walking around in the costume.
You're not still walking around in the costume, are you?
But if those people had a problem with you as soon as they saw you in the suit, why would they wait for a bounty to be posted to assault you? They couldn't possibly have known if one would even get put up.
But do also keep in mind that around here the Corsairs and Paladins... They don't always get along for no reason other than being on opposing factions. The locals in particular. So be careful, okay?

Date: 13 Mar 2025 05:49 (UTC)Though now with that rising as a possibility, it seems entirely possible that our perpetrator behind the bounty simply wants to cause a ruckus.
