Thinking.
Amiko sat solemnly at her desk, looking at two pieces of paper. One was a requisition form from a univesrity library, the other was a security report, a little more crumpled than Amiko normally keeps her papers.

	Keiji knocks on her office door. "Amiko? Is everything okay? You've been in there for some time." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Keiji. I am all right. Please come in." When he does. "Do you happen to have seen Kayura? I should talk to her at some point about this form. " She gestures vaguely at the library form, but she's looking at the slightly tattered -- or perhaps singed -- security report in her other hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji enters the office, closing the door behind him. "I have not, Amiko-chan." He looks at the form curiously. "What is this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I want her to look up some historical documents for me," Amiko says. She's gone into her poker face. "But I'll find her later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What kind of historical documents?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Descriptions of 14th-century artifacts." A pause, and she finally looks up from the security report. What did that poor paper ever do to her? "I'm hoping she can find out more about the one stolen by the murderer of Hajime's father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-12-28 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	He notes the singes on the paper. "I see, anything I can do to help you, Amiko-chan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll be fine, thank you, Keiji. Investigation on that one's best left to the historians at this point." Pause. "But it's best to start. Murderers should be brought to justice and all." Pause. "Or something." Another pause. "Just looking over this report from security at the hospital that Tsurayaba Matsuo is in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-12-28 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji was silent for a time. He was a murderer himself after all. "How often do you check in on him?" He asked after a time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	Amiko considered justice done in the matter of Keiji. She'd gotten him out of the hand, and made him an asset for the right side. "Fairly frequently. I have to be sure he really isn't trying something. I respect my father's wishes, but i have to be sure. If he ever appears to be trying to reclaim his life, I have to be able to do something."

	Keiji doesn't say anything, he understand's his love's sense of duty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	"...But he does seem to be mostly alone with his cowardice," she says eventually. "So better to focus on more productive work." She looks at the other form. "Get a start on getting Hajime some peace, if possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-12-28 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji nods once. "Any progress on that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugs. "So little to go on. That's why I want Kayura on it. The stolen amulet's the best route we have to identify the man, and that's not saying much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just that it was wood and cloth, with a kanji 4 on it. I'm hoping drawings might be available, but I don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji blinks once in surprise. "Wood, cloth..and a kanji four on it? I..I think I've seen it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko looks at him. "...What?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-12-28 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, years ago. It was a conference of Hand-lords. I was accompanying Lord Junirchiro and I saw a man there..he wore an amulet that fits your description," Keiji recalled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"...That is useful information, however disturbing an idea that the Hand has access to time travel. Thank you, love. If a picture can be found, perhaps we can confirm then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-12-28 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji smiles lightly, pleased he could help in any way. "I admit, I did not know the Hand possessed such capabilities either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-28 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Here's hoping it was ony a temporary capability. And if not, we will make it temporary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Amiko-san?" Kayura had a few reports she needed to leave witth her about some spirits she had recently put to rest. The government understood her duty to protect Japan from supernatural threats but they also wanted documentation on things she was doing so lately she had been working on a back log of reports.

"I finally have that back log of reports done. Just... not as many as I would like on all of those ogres. Knowing my luck I'll have more to do by the end of this next week."

"I'm afraid the reward for a job well done is, as always, another job, Kayura-san." Amiko holds out the requisition form. "But it's in a good cause. See if you can get a hold of these records, and look for any drawings within them of an amulet owned by, well, Hajime's previous daimyo, as well as any possible description of its function. We may have a lead on the killer, but I want every bit of evidence we can get."

"Hai," she looks at the form carefully. "I may have to do some creative research."

She rubs her chin thoughtfully. At first she thinks nothing could go wrong but her luck is always bad. She might ask Clockwork if he wouldn't mind waiting in her car, just in case.

Well, that could be over kill. She doesn't think things could get too dangerous in a library. What could possibly go wrong?

"It's very doable anyways. If I have trouble I have friends in the right places who would help me get the records I need."

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-29 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Just do what you can to get us the confirmation, but play your cards close at this stage. We don't want anything to tip off the killer that we're onto him when we're barely onto him." Pause. "I suppose I should actually inform Hajime that we have a lead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2012-12-29 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Well... I do tend to do a lot of odd research. No one would question if it was just me looking into it. Everyone knows that I'm interested in history," Kayura supplies. "It should be easy enough to hide my motives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amiko listens and nods. "I have every confidence in you." She gets on the intercom to all the remaining BH6 operatives. "Please meet in the training room in ten minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	'Meet in the training room' is remarkably easy. Hajime just stays where he is, and spends the time making himself a little more presentable for the meeting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-12-30 12:14 pm UTC (link)
	Amiko nods politely to all of them once they're all together there. "Thank you. I need to address with all of you a serious matter, as, while we still need confirmation, we now have good reason to suspect that at least one operative of The Hand has had access to time travel capabilities."

	Hajime gets about as expressive as he ever does in public, which is to say a brow raises, and there's distinct frowning involved. "Time travel?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

hotlittlehands

"Very responsible of you to remember, Grogg. But ideally, we won't be doing any time travelling, just stopping the time traveler before he does it again. And because stopping him is necessary anyway."

She looks to Hajime and nods. "We will, again, need confirmation that this is even correct, and the individual himself has not been identified, but we have reason to believe a Hand operative has what was stolen from your daimyo." It's good news, she figures, to an extent to have any lead at all, however serious and incomplete. Just not so good about the part where the Hand may have time travel.

"I'm hoping Kayura can either get more precision on what the amulet looked like, which would ensure we have the right one, and what it was for, which could relate to what part of the Hand this guy works in. Preferably both. I'm hoping that you, she, and Keiji can talk a lot of this out to expand on the little lead we have. We need to do this right, but don't worry; it's all going down as soon as we can, and things'll be set right for your family."

	"I could probably recall a good description of the man I saw if you need it. I can also give a list of which Hand-lords were in attendance," Keiji offered. (Reply to this)(Parent)
