[After investigating the Candy thing, Nick's... having difficulty. Kotetsu's reaction had been to get drunk, but Nick's had been to think. He still doesn't know exactly where he stands, so he'll leave explaining the missing woman situation to Kotetsu, but as far as he knows, no one's mentioned the connection between the water and what the police are looking for.

He can at least do that much.]

I'm sure no one needs to be told again, but be careful about the water thing.

I saw two police officers arrest a girl just for laughing too hard. They said they've be warned about an illegal drug going around, and the signs of it are hysterical laughing and hallucinations. They were taking her in to do a special drug test.

[It's like Hotel California! But... a ship.]

The most somber. I always knew that you would be one to understand the depth of emote conversation.

[detectivetroll]

You know, of all the compliments I've received, that's not one I ever thought I'd get.

[allinvein]

You should treasure it now that you have. Who knows if you'll ever get it again? ;)

[detectivetroll]

Maybe I'll rip it out and get it framed.

[allinvein]

Fun fact: someone printed out a texted compliment I gave them and posted it on their wall. You should do the same.

[detectivetroll]

You know, I'm not sure that actually happened. I think you might just be trying to get me to be the first person to do it.

[allinvein]

Oh, don't make me dig through the network to find evidence because I will.

[detectivetroll]

Don't do that, man, if there's evidence, I'll have to believe you.

[The only response Nick gets is a picture that John has now saved onto his phone.

Oh yes, he went back to find it.]

[detectivetroll]

[The reply back is also a picture, of John's comment ripped out of Nick's notebook and thumbtacked to a corkboard.

There's a scrawled note under it that reads 'You win.']
