[Back dated a week because I just got the mod's approval :| also VOICE POST]

[clockmaster]

[ooc: Hakuba is still on the hospital, his parents are driving him crazy. The three of them can reply to the people who comment here, have fun with Saguru's meanie mommy.]

[There's a soft click and low voices fighting in the background. One of them is feminine and even if she seems calm, there is a dangerous tone in her voice that reflects how pissed she is. The other voice is from a man, less aggressive and far away more cheerful than the woman's but he sounds tense as well.

Something along the lines of 'he's not dying, why did I have to come here, I have work to do in London' is heard before a heavy sigh comes from another voice, Hakuba's, once and the mic cuts off.]

Um... Hakuba? Did you accidentally sit on your phone or something?

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

No, the community decided to be a bitch again and make my life difficult.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[Sighs]

I know how that is... Why does it enjoy televising people when they're at their most vulnerable?

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

No idea, perhaps because this place was created to toture us.

Please just ignore what you heard.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

And yet it rewards us just enough to allow us to put up with the torture...

I will. Does this mean you're going to be released from the hospital soon?

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

You have a point.

No, I still need to stay here until the end of the week.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I see. I could come by and visit again, if you like? Though... it seems you have enough visitors, at the moment.

[Locked]

To be quite frank, I don't see how able to recover with your mother's constant negative criticism. I wonder why she even bothered to show up at all...

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Can you kidnap me and get me out of here? [It doesn't sounds like he's joking.]

[Locked||private channel]

She's leaving soon, don't worry.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[Taken aback.] Um... I could? With Minato-kun's help... But where would you stay to convalesce? I don't want your wounds to open up again...

[Locked||private channel]

Good. [softly] I'm actually quite surprised that you didn't turn out to be as cold and bitter as her. I don't know how you survived it, being forced to grow up with that woman...

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Uhm...I think I know you.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Are you... Hakuba's mother? I recognize your voice. I believe we passed one another in the hall a few times.

My name is Naoto Shirogane. I'm the detective that has been assisting Hakuba in his investigations.

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

My, my, aren't you perceptive? Another detective why I'm not surprised.

I'm Katherine Vinyard and yes, unfortunatelly, Saguru's mother.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Being perceptive is one of many skills necessary for my occupation, Ma'am.

[Trying very hard to keep the sharp edge from his voice.] A pleasure, surely, though I would think any mother would be proud to have such a bright and gifted boy for her son.

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of that.

[Bah, she doesn't care.] I'm sure that's it a pleasure for you, yes. If you meet any son like that let me know.

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[...and Naoto is failing at keeping that sharp edge from his voice.]

I already have. And he's become one of my best friends. But you probably wouldn't know that, seeing as how you're not very involved in his life.

Re: [Voice]

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

No I am not and I'm not interested to be. Seeing that you are such an expert in parents/son relationships what yours think about you being a detective?

[Voice]

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Then why bother coming all this way to see your son? If you really could careless, then why take time out of your busy schedule to see him?

[His voice has lowered, and has grown quite cold.] My father is proud of my work. I am upholding the reputation my forefathers earned before me as a Shirogane detective. I do what I was born to do, and that's all my father ever asked of me.

Meet Hakuba's Dady :P

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Hello there! you are Naoto Shirogane right? Sa-chan told me wonders about you.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[Takes a moment to register this... Sa-chan?]

Um... Yes, that's me. Am I correct in assuming that you're Hakuba's father?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

[Hakuba's Dad is canonically happy and laugh all the time. Yes, Sa-chan.]

Yes, I'm Kenji-Hakuba. It's a pleasure to meet you finally. Ho ho ho.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[Oh god, so cute... Naoto already likes this man.]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, too. [laughs] I hope your son has only had nice things to say about me!

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

[His like..hight on sugar ♥]

Yes, yes. He told me that you are helping with the kid case, and about the last heist and your encounter with Kid-san. You seemed like a vivacious boy, I wanted to meet you too.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

[Dude, Hakuba's dad is secretly Santa Claus, I think...]

Yes, I am. Hakuba was kind enough to let me assist him with his case. I've made a few mistakes, but I'm going to do better on the next heist!

[Naoto definitely sounds happy.] I'd like to meet you as well, sir. Your son has only said good things about you. I can see where he inherited his kind and gentle nature.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

[I thought about that too.]

We all do mistakes, it's a human thing. I will be in the next heist, we can see eahcother there.

Did He? oh, well, Sa-chan is like that. Oh ho ho, thanks.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Oh, you will? It seems Kid is drawing everyone out of the woodwork for this next heist. Even Edogawa-san said he'd be showing up...

He is. He's one of the first friends I made when I joined this community. He's been very kind and helpful, and he was always willing to answer all my questions. I can see why so many people admire him. You wouldn't believe how many people on this community consider him a friend.
