Fair enough. [ to the first point. as for the second...was he running from something? toward? it's debatable, and he glances back at the dorm he was heading for. ]
...unexpectedly, a few of us disappeared this morning. I have things I have to get back to now that we've returned.
Of course not. [ he doesn't like losing, so the idea that he would is still bad. ] It just seemed so...strange. Like the idea wasn't ours, but it was planted there for us to believe that it was.
see the thing is. hanako is a ghost. and nico, in his own biased little brain and thinking that things are similar at home as they are here, has decided that maybe explaining this to him might make more sense than explaining it to someone who's less used to things such as this. ]
More like influenced by an outside force. I don't recall how we got there. We woke up in a warehouse that we shouldn't have recognized because it was in a city Whisper and Hans had never even heard of, but all three of us acknowledged the place as our own. We were working with knowledge we didn't have before, the idea that we were successful thieves who'd accomplished plenty of heists and that our current goal was an unknown treasure. Oceanside was barely a thought.
I don't doubt someone was watching us and controlling the narrative. I mean it's not the first time either, but at least back then I understood a little better what was happening. [ he offers no explanation to that. ]
Curry's gone though. I was hoping things would stick around, too, to give us a clue about why we were brought there to begin with.
Oh. Hans found somebody and got her to agree to drive us. [ fyre's roll was incredible once we realized nobody can drive. ] For some reason that actually worked.
To be fair you tried to stab the mayor. [ like. he's not condoning him for it but also he's kind of like "well you know what this was bound to happen eventually so." ] But I get your point. I didn't think much of it in the moment, but now that we're back it was pretty strange not to be recognized at all. But that could have been because we were in Las Vegas instead.

I am Hanako-san of the Toilet. Besides, people are only ever in such a rush if they're running away from something, or running towards something.
[ There's nobody behind Nico, so... ]

[ can't imagine it ]
I heard you went on a field trip?

Haha... That sounds like you guys were actors in a movie you didn't know you were starring in. Or a supernatural who had their story changed.
[ such a weird story, though! from heroes to thieves, and curry for treasure ]
So... Where's the curry now? I figure that'd give you some idea of who's behind this.

[ if his hard earned curry disappeared into thin air he'd probably be pissed too ]
no subject
Nope. It disappeared as soon as we got back to car. Weird, right?
no subject
Yeah... Like, who drove?
[ If it was just the three of them, none of them would be good candidates ]

Oh. Hans found somebody and got her to agree to drive us. [ fyre's roll was incredible once we realized nobody can drive. ] For some reason that actually worked.

I see... And that person, did they recognize you as Nico the hero, or Nico the thief?
