No. I'm always calm.

Until I talk to you that is. Then I seem to feel that way. Strange.

[placation]

And yet you continue talking to me.

Please tell me you need to advertise a new parfait or something soon. I have to watch this happen in real time.

[enteloki]

I'm polite by nature - I'll respond to most inquires sent my way. You're not special.

And unfortunately, all sponsorships must be kept confidential until the company decides to promote it.

I did, however, get a voucher for a free meal at a new karaage stall. It's too heavy of a meal for me. I thought to give it to you, but now I'm reconsidering my kindness.

[placation]

That's funny. I seem to recall you telling me that I'm special several times. Usually before a strangulation attempt or worse.

Taking pity on a poor, unemployed researcher would be great for your image. We could always go split it.

[HE IS IGNORING THE FIRST PART!!!]

I would be willing to do that. My schedule is free this Friday and they do have a beverage I'm hoping to try.

I'll be sure to post my good deed on my blog. My fans will enjoy a cameo from 'Anonymous 0203.'

[placation]

Oh!? I'm going to be immortalized on the Detective Prince's blog?

This is the happiest day of my life...

[enteloki]

Immortalized or given a target. It depends on your perception.

If you don't meet their high bar, you'll be run off the internet and harassed on the streets. I look forward to seeing the outcome.

[placation]

How high is this bar, exactly? What are they looking for?

[enteloki]

Exceptionally high.

Only one other person has been accepted by them. One. The criteria is a secret.

Let's hope you meet the cut.

[placation]

[ One. He doesn't have to ask. ]

If I don't, are a bunch of teenage girls really going to harass me???

[enteloki]

Harass is putting it lightly.

Weren't you looking for a challenge at one point?

Try not to disappoint me or them.

[placation]

[ Oh, okay? Bitch?? ]

Wanting a good battle after a frustrating personal and professional blow is not the same as wanting to avoid the wrath of teenage superfans.

Detective Prince otaku... Who would have thought that would be what gets me in the end.

[enteloki]

It's a shame, really, but a fitting end for you.

I'll send the address and information soon.

THAT WAS OMINOUS I JUST DROPPED MY PHONE

[placation]

Sounds good.

Before I let you go though, I have a question.

I WAS SCARED

[enteloki]

What is it?

[placation]

[ Attachment: Another interview, mid-redline process, with this question circled about five times and PLENTY of wwwwwwwww next to it. ]

If another magazine asks you to talk about your best friend, will you describe a middle-aged psychologist with a bad back?

[enteloki]

[Stop reading his SHIT!!!]

That would be less believable than shit I say now. Who would ever think that were true?

Unfortunately, you still come second to the imaginary student at [INSERT AKECHI SCHOOL HERE.]

1/2

[ OH, HE'S GOT SO MANY MORE TO READ. ]

Tanaka-san isn't real!?

[placation]

I never would have guessed. Your lies are water tight, as always.

See you for karaage.

[enteloki]

See you there, Maruki.
