[Listen he's been on enough stealth and saboteur missions to understand one when he hears and sees one. Keith shrugs slightly.]

You have a Blade, at least. Me. [His teeth feel a bit sharp in his mouth, a reaction to stress but that's all.] ...Did I ever mention the day I met Shiro I stole his car while no one in the crowd between where I was and said vehicle noticing? Or that I'd break into the office at the orphanage to steal back my knife when they'd find it?

[He keeps his tone quiet, light and slightly amused behind the slight embarrassment of what he's basically saying: I'm a spy with a record of thievery.]

I've only gotten better since meeting my mom, and from the sounds of it there aren't many traces electronically to whoever Akechi's working for. There might be something in paper or on a server kept off the grid. I have my tools with me this time, and if I get Lance and Pidge in on it we can get in undetected once we have a name or location and disappear without a trace. ...Or if anyone's tailing you guys, there's a few ways to disable a car without being noticed.

You what?!

[ sorry, keith. her voice gets a little louder, but she doesn't sound angry. in fact, she's laughing. she calms down afterwards, though, taking a sip of her soda. ]

Seriously? Man, Keith, you'd fit right in with us, you know that?

[ because like. that is definitely something a phantom thief would do, let's be real. but. she goes quiet again when he starts talking again. futaba's incredibly smart, but pidge has the technology that could crack codes that not even futaba's capable of right now. ]

How about this, then: We'll keep looking into whom Akechi's working for, once Ren gets back. We have Prosecutor Niijima on our side so we'll hopefully have some intel on our end about what's going on behind the scenes. You guys can do your own investigation in the meantime, but text me if you find out anything, yeah?

[ ...she hums pensively. ] It'd also be pretty helpful if we could get you guys into the Metaverse, but I think having too many people in general would blow our cover. We're bad enough about staying quiet as it is, y'know? [ lookin at u ryuji ]

[balancingedge]

[It's a very good thing, he decides, at this moment, that he did not get his mother's ears. Appearance-wise, at least. He's pretty sure they'd be telegraphing something at this point because Ann! He was about Futaba's age at the time!]

Kinda- got that feeling when I told Futaba how my commanding officer lost use of his left eye. [He feels his face heat up slightly out of embarrassment before he can school his expression back to normal. He coughs behind his hand.]

Alright. Give me a description of Akechi and I'll see what I can do. [He thinks on something.] And about that... We might be able to help with the being seen part but being quiet's on you. [Rest in fucking pieces ryuji]

[ladytakamaki]

[ even better! a rebellious teen! one of us, keith. one of us!!! ]

Oh my god. You-- Keith! [ now she just looks stunned. ] Was he really that bad? That's totally something that someone like...I dunno, Ryuji would do!

[ ren told her they physically had to hold ryuji back from socking kamoshida in the face back then. not that she blames him one bit. ]

Akechi's all over the news, so I can get info on him real easy. Hang on... [ she takes a brief moment to scroll through her phone, because a quick google gives her plenty of pictures of goro akechi. he looks pleasant in the photo she shows keith, but they know that boy is up to no good. once keith gives her the okay, she quickly puts her phone back in her pocket. ]

He's around my age--sixteen or seventeen, probably--and he's all over the news nowadays for his detective work. You'll find a ton of info on him with a quick Google Search.

[balancingedge]

Other than perpetrating a lie for his superiors, not really. [He rubs the back of his neck, and his voice grows quiet.] ...They destroyed Shiro's career, and flying was everything to him. You saw briefly how bad my temper was back then.

[It's still bad now, but he's tempered it somewhat. ...Somewhat. Just don't threaten his team or allies and no one will die. Metaphorically speaking.] Anyway. It was just a punch. My discharge was revoked after the truth came to light.

[That's the end of that conversation. He looks at her phone and nods.] What they want us to see, anyway. And I'd say almost eighteen at youngest.

[He's not even gonna ask how both realities have Google. ...Had Google. His still needs to fix that again.]

[ladytakamaki]

[ big oof. ann rolls her eyes. ]

It would've been dumb if they didn't revoke it, since you guys are saving the entire universe.

[ but! back to akechi. ] Thanks for doing this, Keith. Sorry to get you guys all caught up in this, but we'd really appreciate your help. Do you think it'd be better to keep your involvement under wraps for now until you get intel?

[balancingedge]

[His look says it all, Ann. She'd be surprised just how much they listened to those who'd been fighting the Empire for years.]

Don't mention it. And I'll leave that to you. On one hand, if they don't remember they'll likely ask why you didn't mention us before. On the other, wouldn't it be suspicious to them to suddenly have intel?

[ladytakamaki]

Yeah, that's where I'm stuck. Like, if they do remember, of course I'll tell them you guys are here! But if they don't, then I'd need to find an "in" to let them know about it, y'know? And maybe waiting until you guys get intel would make for a good opportunity.

[ she lets out a big sigh. ]

Either way, I'll figure it out and keep you posted. I'm not planning on keeping this a secret forever.

[balancingedge]

[He thinks about it a minute.] ...Could use the fact we're technically friends from overseas and agree with what you're trying to do.

[Technically, not a lie!]

[ladytakamaki]

[ladytakamaki]

...Oh my god! Keith, you're a genius!

[ BOY!!! ]

Okay, you know what? If anyone asks, you're now officially my pen pal from America, visiting Japan to help the Phantom Thieves with their mission. How's that for a plan?

[balancingedge]

[Keith laughs.] Just don't specify which America, and I guess we're good.

[He stands up and nods.]

Alright. Send me a message later anyway. I'll let you know what the others think.
