 Shinichi is outside in one of the courtyards today.  After receiving his skateboard from the spring he had spent a few days thoroughly checking over all the wiring and connections.  And today he had decided to finally test its operation.

He searches the courtyards until he finds one with promising surroundings.  And then he drops the skateboard on the ground and calmly steps onto it.  With one toe he nudges the pressure switch.  

And then, to the sound of the motor's loud whine, he's crouching down on the board as he speeds down the courtyard.  As he approaches the wall he leans into the turn and starts building up the acceleration.

So he's taken to spending quite a bit at time in the common area of the residential chamber. Usually? Chilling out at the table or finding a nice little niche to settle in. Right then? He'd found a stone bench near a window that looked out onto the courtyard. On the opposite bench, a green-gray crate with numbers on it and a packing label. Someone got a package today. How? Probably a good question.

He'd gotten it the night before at the fountain while he was still restlessly awake. Didn't really take him long to figure out what had happen once he decided to throw a coin in and make a wish but he didn't think for a second that it would work. About two hours later? He asked again. Past midnight.

Now. It was late afternoon and he'd held off from indulging long enough. He settled onto the window seat, propped a leg up on the opposite stone ledge and plucked an apple from the crate of perfectly ripe fruit. Strawberries, mangoes, apricots, grapes, apples and pears. Perfect. He took a bite out of the apple, sighing contently.

So he'd lost his nerve for a spell. So those damn Shadows sapped a bit of his courage away. Didn't bother him so much right now. He'd just have this and enjoy his little birthday eating, drinking and being merry. Like you're supposed to do.

"Bottoms up." He said, drinking the last out of his flask before looking to the bottle to fill it back up.

[OOC: A window seat are common structures in castles. They look like this. Feel free to join Duo and have a drink, eat some good food, he's happy to share and plenty to go around. Also I may prefer prose but you can also respond in comment spam. I really don't care either way.]

 [Shinichi cautiously follows the signs of disturbance in the castle's corridors.    He still didn't have enough evidence to figure out this situation with any certainty.  Obviously this was a kidnapping.  But so far he had found nothing that hinted as to the identity of the culprits or the motive.  Beyond the box he had found himself in upon waking there had been no sign of any attempts to control his movements.

He needed more information.


Eventually he enters the living area and nods to himself at the signs of inhabitance.  As expected from what he had observed in the corridors.  Someone had been using them recently to navigate this castle.  This looked to be the source.  Casting his eyes across the people in the room, he purposefully approaches a likely candidate.]


Excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?
