[Oh, hey, Siren's Port. Today (or, well, that day that keeps repeating itself, but details) Maya is sitting at a desk, looking news reporter-esque and very serious. This is going to be a very serious feed]

Citizens of Siren's Port, we have a national crisis! Or... city-wise crisis! Port-crisis? ... You get the picture! Anyway, you know that moment when you did something and it feels like you've done it before but you don't remember when? That's called "Dijon View" [That"s "Déjà vu", Maya]

Well, that's what's happening! But worse! Every day is the same day, Thursday! It’s not even Friday! [How terrible. She's saying all this like it's brand new information.]

Anyway, it's obvious what it is! Time goons! The Evil Magistrate’s time goons! This totally happened on this one episode of the Steel Samurai—

[Suddenly, Diego’s cat steps on the NV, thankfully cutting out what otherwise might be a five minute long ramble on said Steel Samurai episode. When it clicks back on:]

--Okay, so what do we do?

1. Don’t panic!!! And don't get depressed and hurt yourself, either [Not to name names or anything] Everything will be okay! We just need to defeat the time goons!
2. Investigate anyone that looks goon-y thoroughly! Remember, time goons are sneaky and try to blend into society, so make sure you check them really closely! Except for Mr. Asch. He’s definitely not one, despite how he looks.
3. When you find a goon, give 'em a Samurai Chop! That'll stop them in their tracks.
4. Be sneaky around the locals! They don’t know about the time thingy, so they might get suspicious and think you’re a goon if you talk about how it’s not Thursday anymore!
5. If you find a time machine, chances are a vile agent has already used it to go back in time– oh wait, I’m thinking of the wrong thing.
6. Um, I don't have a six, but the list looks better like this.

Anyway, the point is! Stay calm! Don’t do crazy stuff! Once we beat all the time goons and stop the Evil Magistrate's devious plans, time will go back to normal and the Dijon View's gonna disappear too!

[Maya's about to click off the feed, but suddenly a final, profound thought comes to her:]

... And under no circumstances should anyone sing "Let's Do the Time Warp Again!"

["And I was beginning to think you're a Class A jerk-- oh wait, I already knew that" is what she really wants to say right now, but Maya knows better (especially when she's information gathering mode)]

So? Is that it for your theory?

Edited 2012-02-09 08:38 (UTC)

Hmph. I do not see why I should offer you anything more than that.

[It's not like he works for the common good. Information isn't cheap. Not that he'd want money for it anyways. Not your money.]

[Maya parts with her money for no one, least of all Von Karma]

You said you'd tell me your theories! Or are you backing out now?

[He doesn't need your pocket change, Maya.]

I agreed to nothing of the sort. I merely volunteered information. What is more, I should think that the one I gave you is sufficient.

[She's got more money than you right now, Von Karma! ... Probably]

[And erk, caught. But she's not giving up so easily]

I thought you were going to share your theories, but I don't see anything to back it up!

[Sadly, that's probably true. He hasn't been here long, and most of that time has been spent in a hospital bed.]

...Mmph. You think I would deign to help you? You're mistaken. In order for me to do that then you would have to give me something of equal exchange.

W-Who said anything about help? I'm just seeing if you're all talk or not! [Now she's just bluffing]

And what would you even consider equal, anyway?

No.

[Just a firm answer, which would negate the obligation to answer anything.]

Information.

Prove it! [Ughhhh, she is so not satisfied with that, so one last ditch effort...!]

What information?

Heh heh heh. It would be a simple operation altogether were it not for the fact that there are actually those who would attempt to stand in my way! The gathering of proof in this case is no simple matter, however. Unlike your little defense attorney I do not hang by the thread bare of my slacks when it comes to evidence.

[Tsk, tsk, Maya. You're walking into a trap. Which is set on high voltage!]

Why, the useful sort, of course. You think I would give you valuable insight in exchange for cheap talk?

[Fine. No dice. She bristles at his smarmy tone] You haven't proved anything! And in case you're forgetting, we gave you a run for your money!

[She'll never walk into your trap, Von Karma!]

That doesn't tell me anything.
