oh, not at all! truthfully, i enjoy speaking with you, no matter the form it may take. i'm just lamenting many other texts that have thus far been lost, though thankfully none have held anything too personal or confidential. and i'll make note of you intel-gathering skills as well. i'm the president of an amateur detective agency, after all. doubtlessly such a thing will be a boon in future pursuits.
our most recent endeavor, and first official case, is a missing person's one. it deals with someone on the app, so naturally it fell to us instead of the police department... rather, a friend asked us to look into it, as anyone off of retrospec wouldn't think it odd or alarming. we couldn't refuse, and it was intriguing regardless... we haven't had any others come in yet, but i haven't been able to market the agency a lot either, so i'm unconcerned for the moment. my employee and i agreed that we'd take cases that slip through the cracks, so to speak: things the police wouldn't pick up officially, either because they're unimportant, don't have enough evidence, deal with something that only concerns us app users, and etc etc etc.
the other person who mistakenly got the other half of this text guessed it quite easily, so i suppose there's no harm in telling you as well... as long as you keep it a secret. the person we're investigating is Ryoji Mochizuki, who passed away at the end of August yet has been seen online recently and has even messaged some people despite that.
[ Oohhh. Well that's a little awkward. Yato has a pretty big hunch about what's happening with Ryoji, but is it his maybe-secret to share? Maybe, maybe not... ]
i wasn't told anything specific, just that the sender seemed childlike and was sending things such as cat pictures and attempting to play word association games.
[ 0/10 she's never going to hire him for information ever!! ...If she ever finds out he didn't tell her he knew anything. ]
i've considered that... and i've decided to keep it as a potential theory. after all, a good detective never throws away any possibility until it becomes impossible, correct? it'll be one of the things we investigate once my employee and i meet up in a few days' time.
most likely, but in actuality... i'm only the president of the agency. he's the head detective. simply put, when we're on business, i'm more of his assistant rather than the other way around.
i'm not certain, though he's quite a popular model, so perhaps you've at least seen his face? regardless, his name is Goro Akechi. he's one of my roommates as well! you can often find him mooning over a certain barista in a cat cafe... it's very cute.
[ what do you mean detectives don't have lovely assistants ]
WTF I do know him
[ more like he randomly cooks meals for akechi's mom sometimes because he was asked to during a failed attempt to get three (3) whole people to believe he was a real god ]
[ magicians have lovely assistants, detectives have bedfellows?? i guess ]
"model" is his job, while "detective" is his passion. he lamented to me not long after we met that he felt he wouldn't be taken seriously for it (in juxtaposition to myself, where if i decided to become an actress it's likely i wouldn't be laughed at for being an amateur, but instead be viewed as aspiring) and so i offered to sponsor him, in a way. rather, i think i asked if he'd let me nurture his potential...? and thus The Answers Agency was born. it was more or less a whim on my part, but i did feel pity for his situation, and i think it's important for one to chase after what one truly wants.
[ don't worry yato one day she'll stop being so this... probably. ]
thank you and not at all! currently we operate out of our residences, though i've been looking into renting an office space of some sort. i'm not sure we'll need something too large though... once we manage to find a proper apartment to stay in we may simply use that instead? as unorthodox as that feels. but it's only the two of us, so perhaps that's fine?

I bet you'd be in high demand if you advertised it
God knows how many questions need answering in this town
Can I ask who the missing person is?

What's he saying in those messages?

Makes sense
And yeah totally
There's nothing stopping you from doing what you want but you (•̀ᴗ•́)و
The Answers Agency?? Cool name
Do you guys have an HQ?
