KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”
COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.
EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!
- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!
- “Sure is.”
DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?
YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”
DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!
YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”
KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.
INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.
ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.
HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!
VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.
KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”
YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”
LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.
KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”
YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.
KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”
YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”
KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."
He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”
EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.
YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”
KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.
YOU - “…”
KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.
YOU - “Kim?”
KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.
YOU - “KIM!!!!”

There's a…guy.
You roll around the gothems under belly long enough, you’ll hear plenty of people say ‘I know a guy’. A fixer, a driver, a particularly good con artist. ‘Guys’ are a dime a dozen. There's one, however, that everyone knows but no one seems to be able to work with.
He went by ‘phantom’. Apped, considering his reputation. The man could do almost anything and leave no footprints. You need info digging up? Check back in two days. You need a fence? The money will be in your account by the next day, minus his cut. You’ll never connect him back to it. Need something stolen? Even you won't be able to figure out how to when he managed it. What you asked for will just appear, gift rapped, a week later.
Seriously, though, Phantom didn't work with just anyone. In fact, you’d be pressed to find proof he existed at all, outside word of mouth. The only way to get any contact with him, so the story goes, is to go through Red Hood.
Maybe he owed the crime lord a debt, maybe Red Hood had some dirt on him. Maybe Phantom was just really loyal. who knows? The point is that without the ani-heros mark somewhere on your credentials, you’ve got no hope of even finding the man. Let alone getting him to do a job.
So imagine Tim's surprise when a criminal so elusive even he can't dig anything up about him just appears, brazen as anything, in the middle of the day. He hands Tim a small card, fucking winks at him, then disappears just as seamlessly into the crowd.
‘Hay pretty boy.
The boss said you need some info found.
23 clover st. 10pm tomorrow.
Phantom’
Meanwhile, Danny has no idea why Hood’s getting mixed up with the Waynes. What on earth a rich kid like Timothy Wayne needed to know that was so serious, he approached one of gothems biggest crime lords, he couldn’t fathom but the boss said jump and Danny wasn’t about to say anything to the guy that had taken him in beyond ‘how high’. He just hoped Hood knew what he was doing.

They HAVE to be giving us a second season PLEASE give me Mix and Mond and Title main character mess with the crew from this season as side/background characters, let Mark find love, let Papang come back and kiss some more dudes
Jojo said there's scripts and there's clearly intent so let's rolllllllllllllll boys

Once we actually got Boeing I knew Mix was wrong for the character and Mond was the best choice but I was still hoping for Mix somehow to come in and just PLEASE with or without Earth, I need this
(honestly preferably without, keep mixing up the couples, almost everyone kissed everyone else in this show and we deserve more of that)
