@Kelpiesinker: Turnabout Kaboom (Event)
@kelpiesinker
It all began at 8:40 AM on a Monday, when Phoenix was going down the stairs to have breakfast. After so many agitated days collecting Fragments non stop, he’d rather rest and recharge his energies by just being lazy and watching some TV, maybe playing a couple Triplicata games too. Noctis had prepared the coffee earlier, which he took some of and drank while holding the remote control.
The news were showcasing the usual affairs of the virus epidemic. The number of infected was already being estimated at 5 million by the authorities, a crisis like never seen before in Utopia. It’s of course an upsetting outcome, but Phoenix can’t avoid wondering why the reporter speaks as if this place has existed for far longer than just a couple weeks. Could it simply be NPC programming?
In any case, this whole thing was highly depressing, so Phoenix was about to change channels when, all of a sudden, they began telling a story about a tragedy, yet mysterious case. Yesterday, at 4:28 PM, three people were killed in a shopping explosion. The event also hurt 13 people, 2 of them severely wounded. The peculiar thing was that no trait of a bomb device was found by the police, but they found a curious drawing on the floor, leading them to believe it was an improper use of magic.
The thing that caught Phoenix’s attention the most, however... was that they had already arresed a suspect. Max Eustald, a young woman identified as a Master thanks to a characteristic tattoo. A witness claims to have spotted her close to the crime scene minutes before the incident.
This, of course, smelled wrong for Phoenix. How can the police determine a suspect that quickly? With an agency or not, his pride as a defense attorney calls him to duty. He leaves a note to Noctis and teleports to the Business District, where he knows the police and detention center are.
