[ upon kogami's suggestion, akane's taken it upon herself to find a suitable (ha ha) way of celebrating her 23rd birthday! she found the chilling cave by coincidence while patrolling the streets once and decided that she wants to try ice skating.

so after texting the guys (brother, mom, and dad), as well as a couple of friends (really, it's just a couple. she doesn't have much friends) if they're free on the 17th, she waits outside the chilling cave, hoping to meet up with her friends.

it's time… to chill! ]

It... was interesting. I'd rather there be no repeats.

[ Mostly it was embarrassing. The other half was infuriating, because of one Kogami Shinya. He's frowning alongside her grimace. ]

Your time didn't go much better?

[mombastic]

I wasn't affected, thankfully! However, I had a few run-ins that weren't exactly comfortable for... well, either of us.

[ Poor Trowa. ]

[coefficiency]

Ah, I could see where that would be...

[ Hideously embarrassing. So much.

Anyway. Time for a topic change, because sticking to this one is reminding her of awkwardness and it's reminding him of things he doesn't want to think about. ]

How do you know Tsunemori?

[mombastic]

Oh! [ There's her smile again! ] I ran into her and she asked me if I wanted to be a coroner.

[ It went about as well as you'd imagine. Slightly better. ]

[coefficiency]

A coroner.

[ Somehow, that's so.......Tsunemori? She probably said it with a smile on her face and not an ounce of manipulation. ]

Sometimes, she thinks about work too much.

[ POT, KETTLE!!!!! ] Did you agree?

[mombastic]

[ Yeeeeep. ]

I'm better suited to working with living people, unfortunately-- but I told her if she ever needed a second opinion, I'd be happy to offer one.

[coefficiency]

[ He wouldn't necessarily say that's an unfortunate thing. ]

A doctor, then? [ Equally as needed. ] That's kind of you; I'm sure she appreciates it.

[mombastic]

Right on both counts! Akane-chan is such a sweet girl, too-- I'm glad she's getting a chance to have fun.

[ Otome, she's not that much younger than you are??? ]

[coefficiency]

She is; I'm glad as well. She doesn't get much of a chance to do that back home. Or didn't, rather.

[ Somehow, he feels so much older than her. ]

[mombastic]

That's... what I've been hearing. You must have all been incredibly busy back home.

We're part of Division one, so most of the cases we handle tend to be very tough or lengthy. Or potentially both.

[ They've all worked hard to get where they are, essentially being the top of the MWPSB. Akane's kept them there, despite Kasei's misgivings with their performance on the Makishima case. ]

Tsunemori's team lead. We've just hired on a junior inspector to help with Tsunemori's position, but she won't be fully effective for another few months, give or take.

[ Mika's smart but she's brash and close minded. Gino sees too much of himself with her; except she doesn't have years of work under her belt to temper the lack of respect. He has a sinking feeling anytime she raises a point. A few months more of being on the field will take some of the wind out of her sails, but she'll need a steep wake up call to jump over the internal hurdles she's placed for herself. ]

[mombastic]

So not only were the cases difficult, but you weren't fully-staffed? I can see why it could be hard to take a decent break every now and then...

[ They'd had a shortage of personnel, too, but that was because demons/Septentriones/the Triangulum really loved killing them. But that's a bit awkward to explain. ]
