[Toushirou sounds pretty tired, but probably anyone would after the day he's had. He'd filter this to only a few select people, but . . . tired. And a relevant question, anyway. Just how many has it happened to?]

So anybody else besides the mech pilots get questioned by the feds or was I just lucky today?

You got picked up by the feds?! What happened?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

Seems there was some footage with my face on it out there. After two weeks of nobody saying anything, I'd been pretty sure I was clear, but I guess not.

[Sigh.] Questions about Thundercorp, the cops, and what I'm capable of. Didn't tell them about anything they didn't already see.

[And you can guess what they did see, when it comes to what Toushirou was doing that day.]

[shiromadoushi]

So just about dragon sword, huh?

Shit. I hope this isn't the start of them nosing into everyone....

[icy_heavens]

Yeah, that's it. They . . . took if for analysis for a few hours. Didn't really want to let them, but . . . Anyway. They gave it back, and I'm cleared to keep it.

[hollowleg]

You got pulled in by the feds?!

[shit shit shit. Shiro was with Toshirou most of that day]

Did they say anything about me?

voice;

[icy_heavens]

They asked about you, but it doesn't sound like they have details. I didn't name any names.

[hollowleg]

I guess that mask came in handy after all. Thanks for not selling me out. Though with my tail and voice now, I might have a harder time hidin'.

So what, are you on a watchlist now? "Has weapons of mass freezing"?

voice;

[icy_heavens]

Bad enough I got pulled in; wasn't gonna drag anyone else down.

Definitely got a file on me now. What surprises me really is that they let me keep it. [It would've got ugly if they hadn't. He's not giving up his weapon, man.]

[oh that's.... not good. not at all.]

Are you ok??

Voice

[icy_heavens]

Just tired, yeah. I'm back home, and they're even letting me keep my sword.

Voice

[darkhourdear]

That's good. [it could have gotten reeeeeally bad otherwise.] What'd they ask you?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Yeah, he wouldn't have taken that well and definitely have put up resistance.]

What I knew about Thundercorp and the cops. And what all my abilities are.

text;

[centurian]

And, they treated you fantastically, I bet?

[ not even sarcasm. After all, it doesn't do ANY of them any good to mistrust one another. ]

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Lifted eyebrows and some staring at that text.]

About as good as a questioning could be expected to be, I guess. [Maybe mistrust doesn't do any good, but you can't expect people to just suddenly up and trust law enforcement when they've had to hide from it for a year because it was fucked up and trying to kill them.]

text;

[centurian]

I mean, they're definitely not the bad guys here. At least in comparison to Sherman and his cronies.

[ He feels like this is an important distinction to make. ]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Nope. Not just you.

[icy_heavens]

Same set of questions I got? Thunder, the cops, your abilities?

[not_good_not_wicked]

And a lotta questions about magicians.

Also something about bugmen from under the Earth's crust? Do you have any idea what that was about?

[icy_heavens]

How much did you answer?

[.... What.] ... I heard Hajime was trying to play up the bug thing in an interview. That's about all I can think of, there. [Hajime what the hell kind of weirdo story did you feed them?]

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

They were nicer about it than I'd have thought. It was weird, though.

[Voice]

[icy_heavens]

Not that it's hard to be better than the cops, but yeah. I'm not totally convinced how much to trust 'em. I co-operated and all, but I'm not opening the floodgates, here.

[espigeonage]

Yeah. Since it doesn't look like this nonsense is over yet, it'd be nice if we didn't have to do it all alone, though.

[icy_heavens]

Need more time to see how they're gonna handle things with as much as we gave 'em. After spending a year dodging law enforcement that wanted us dead, it'd be stupid to just trust another branch blindly. [He admitted to a thing or two, but only the ones they'd seen and he therefore couldn't deny.]

[Video]

[scramasax]

What did they want -- ...?

[He might've jumped the gun some on this response. The first one Toshiro got asked this question, aye, but he's not seen it at all. Voice is low and constricted - attempting to speak as if it's liable to be a day in the life for any of them at any time at this point, which it may well be, he supposes.]

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Sigh, though whether it's one of exasperation or simply weariness is hard to tell.] I got caught on video using my powers. They wanted to know what I'm capable of, what I might know about the cops and Thunder being in league with aliens.
