    • OOC: I made Maodka and Sayaka refer to each other in last names here since they're technically not close friends.

    [X] Talk to Sayaka about the dead body you found.

    [X] "We seem to be in some parody or caricature of a murder mystery novel."
    -[X] "We'll probably get back by solving it or something like that. And I kind of want to get back to my video games at some point, so welcome to the team Watson."

    "Well I got plenty of incentives for why I'm getting the hell out of here. "

    "Why is that?" Sayaka asked suspiciously.

    "Oh, I found a dead body."

    "Hey! Don't mess with me! Stop joking and tell it to me straight!"

    She simply give an unimpressed stare.

    "You're... you're kidding right?" It slowly dawns on her that maybe Madoka isn't bullshitting her. "So... someone died..."

    "Yup, I found her recently in a trash can being by what I THINK are rats."

    "THINK?"

    "Well, they look like rats so they gotta be rats right?"

    "Whatever... so the clothes?"

    "Spares. Shitted my myself."

    "At the dead body?"

    "At this world in general."

    "Pftt." At that remark, Sayaka fell to the ground laughing.

    "Hey! Stop that! Shitting one's own self is not funny!"

    "I'm sorry it's just that..." She stops laughing, breathing lots of air in before speaking again. "This word on its own really isn't that scary."

    "Well excuse me for freaking out at the fact that I entered an entire different reality!"

    "Sorry sorry sheesh... Anyways... so... dead body?"

    "Yup, it seems to me that this world is some sort of crudely made mystery novel or something. Melodrama, Scotland Yard and everything."

    "So was the victim one of these... uh..."

    "Blank people? Nope, an actual human being."

    "Darn... wait... if this is a mystery novel world, and a human died. Does that mean... that there's a serial killer around?"

    "Yeah... why?"

    "Then why are we standing in an alleyway that's also a good spot for a raving serial killer to find us?"

    "..."

    "..."

    "..."

    "..."

    "You know Miki, that spot over that news stand seem like a nice place to talk over."

    "Yeah, let's go over there."

    Quickly using their knowledge of genre conventions and really good walking skills they both got out of the alleyway and near a spot near the news stand i.e. a really comfy bench. "So Kaname since you're here, any thoughts on how to find Mami and getting us out of here getting."

    "Well my best guess is that since this is a poorly done murder mystery. I wager that we might get out of here if we solve it."

    "Oh, then how're we some to do that anyways?"

    "I dunno, I've never read a Nancy Drew novel my whole life... does Billy Bats and Pluto count?"

    "I dunno. Haven't read Billy Bats yet and I'm only halfway through Pluto. Also don't you dare spoil the plot."

    "Yeah sure whatever. Anyways welcome to the team Watson."

    "Wait, why am I the Watson?"

    "Because I can do all the deduction my dear Miki."

    "Just because you're one of the smartest people at school doesn't mean that you're a super genius."

    "I don't have have to a super genius. I just have to be smart in general."

    "Oh my god this never going to work."

    "Come on Miki we've been standing within a 5 meter radius of each other for only 5 minutes and already you're giving up? I had such hopes for you."

    "Well sorry for dashing them."

    "Eh, I'm okay with being that. I'm kind of an expect in the field of disappointment."

    "What are you, a Disappointalogist?"

    "With a non-existent PhD."

    "At least it's a genuine non-existent Phd."

    "I sure is." For awhile, both girls were silent. Spending a moment of quiet gathering themselves and processing that fact that got in this strange world somehow. It was then that Madoka's eye took a glance at the news stand from which she did a double take and started looking at the news stand with full attention. "Hey, Miki. Are seeing what I'm seeing?"

    "See what? What are you looking at Kaname?"

    "It's that news stand."

    "Yeah it's a news stand so what?"

    "It's using Yen. With actual proper inflation in correspondence with this era. (Which honestly makes the inconsistencies all the more painful)."

    "Hey you're right. Doesn't Briton use pounds or something?"

    "Yes they do." Madoka got off the bench and payed 15 yen for a copy of the news. She got back to the bench and open it so that both of them can read it. "Okay so... advertisements... gossip... more advertisements... ew I don't know where your fucking lucky underwear is... wait what the fuck?"

    "This has to be a joke." Both Madoka and Watson Sayaka were staring at an uniquely bizarre article about with a blurry photo about what seems to be a girl in a fancy outfit jumping rooftop from rooftop and... not much else than that.

    "What... I don't even..."

    "Why are we even surprised? This world is as strange as itself wants to be."

    Clearly it's what you do with random photographs found in random 15-yen tabloids in a random non-existent reality.

    Whoever they are they are either 'invoved with the mystery' or maybe just Mami. That's my take on it.

    -[X] "Like I noted earlier, poorly done murder mystery. This is probably supposed to be a clue. Probably. Don't look at me like that. Do you know how many things I've seen so far that don't make a lick of sense considering the timeperiod we're supposed to be in? The Yen thing with proper inflation is just icing on the cake for me."

    [x] Look for a place to stay, we seem to be here for the long haul
    -[x] ...But if that place is 22B Baker St, be wary. There are clues, there are roles in a badly made narrative, okay. But considering just how weird this place is, it's giving off major Fisher Kingdom vibes, to drop a trope. And that's not okay. You like being you.
     
    Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't vote tally by block... I dunno... Or maybe it's just me.

    "Eh, fuck it lets go and find this girl."

    "I guess... we don't have much of a play if at all. Although doesn't this seem a bit too convenient?"

    -[X] "Like I noted earlier, poorly done murder mystery. This is probably supposed to be a clue. Probably. Don't look at me like that.

    "Of course." Sayaka slumps back, staring at the sky. "Even if do know what we're going to do. HOW are we going to do it?"

    "Well I do have a vague idea what what this Mystery Girl wants."

    "Vague idea?"

    "You see Miki. The fact that this girl is (as crazy as it may seem) jumping rooftop from rooftop means either two things. 1) she's going somewhere or 2) she's trying to find someone of something."

    "How did you come up with that?"

    "Well, one advantage of jumping rooftop to rooftop is that you have a good view of everything. Quite a useful tool of navigation if I say so myself. Now because of that, I can remove aimless wondering. Now if she isn't aimlessly wondering then what is she looking for? Well I can assume that she's still doesn't know the entire area. So she has to survey the place from somewhere. That place has to be the tallest building in the relative area and there's only one man made structure I can think of that exists in this era and that is the St Paul's Cathedral."

    "St Paul's what?"

    "St Paul's Cathedral. Built in 1240, burnt down by the Great Fire and later rebuilt in 1675. It's one of the most famous cathedrals in the world and a popular tourist attractions in London. If anything that's our best bet."

    "Okay so what's the next part of the plan?"

    "We'll discuss that on the way there, it'll save up time. Beside the news stand is also selling maps for tourists in several different languages."

    • [x] Ask for Sayaka's input.
    [x] In the meantime, get one of those tourist maps and locate the cathedral from there.
     
    Ask to borrow a gun for safety reasons from the inhabitants.

    Would be cool if they kit out in Victorian mystery weapons.
