Two Sides To One Coin [Yuriko]

[Josuke Hisakata]

"...Hmph." Josuke made a bit of a grumble, unimpressed with the scene before him--several Mechanical Inhumanoids whom were the design of CIPHRA laid torn apart before him. He had finished making quick work of a small pack of Inhumanoids he had found attacking innocent civilians only a few minutes ago. Looking upon the scene, he felt bitterness swell up in him as he noticed a few civilians he had failed to protect and now laid dead amongst the remains of the Inhumanoids.

"Sorry; I didn't make it here quick enough." Josuke apologized as he lit the cigarette that had been hanging in-between his breaths. "This one' to send you guys off." He spoke, referring to the cigarette he now proceeded to smoke.

[Yuriko Misaki]

A woman in a lab coat, t-shirt and jeans arrived on the scene...only to find that she had missed the fight. "Damn." she muttered, noticing the civilians, and examined the scene of battle.

[Josuke Hisakata]

Josuke noticed that it had gotten a bit colder--his eyes narrowing as he saw snowfall around him. "..?" When hearing a voice, he turned slowly seeing a somewhat familiar face--it was another Agent of INTERPOL and perhaps their most attractive one. "You're..." Josuke's eyes opened a bit as the cigarette hung loosely from his mouth, the smoke going up into the air.

[Yuriko Misaki]

"What's the matter, you look like you've seen a ghost, Joe." Yuriko said, only knowing him by nickname and file.

[Josuke Hisakata]

"Nothing, I suppose I didn't expect to see other agents of INTERPOL so soon." He closed his eyes, exhaling a puff of smoke. "This is the first time we've met in person--but I guess the records don't lie, you are quite an attractive young woman." He raised a hand, as if non-nonchalantly complimenting her. "So what's INTERPOL's Little Genius doing over in this part of Japan? Are you here on a Mission, or did you take a 'leave of absence' like I have?" Josuke opened one eye, eying her.

[Yuriko Misaki]

She rolled her eyes. "I happened to be in the area, if you absolutely must know." Yuriko gave, shaking her head, but picking up on his attraction to her, and rewarding him with a smile, while still examining what happened and taking notes.

[Josuke Hisakata]

"I apologize for finishing with the show before you could get here. If I had known you were coming to observe me and my work I would've played with them for a little longer." Josuke closed his eyes--this was obviously a joke, but the fact he spoke in such a stern tone made it hard to identify. "...Hm." He opened his eyes and glanced in direction of the human corpses, "I'll save a prayer for your souls later tonight." He mumbled under his breath--feeling a faint sensation of guilt for not being able to save them.

[Yuriko Misaki]

"Maybe I'll call ahead next time." Yuriko gave with a smirk, finishing her examination. "Okay Joe, what happened here?"

[Josuke Hisakata]

"A small group of Mechanical Inhumanoids--four in number, one being of the Golden Bat Type, two being of the Orange Ant Type, and the last being a Yellow Jaguar Type--had apparently came from nowhere and began attacking this residential area." Josuke began to explain to her, "I was in the area and caught sight of what happened--so I immediately dispatched them with my sword, but it would appear I failed to save the lives of about five civilians who were killed in the mayhem at their hand."

"If you care more about precision--I destroyed them by severing their limbs; primarily their neck and heads, through the usage of Iaido and making one clean swing that dispatched the lost of them."

[Yuriko Misaki]

"Aren't you the technical one." Yuriko raises one eyebrow, marking this information down. "Well...too bad about the civilians. Can't save 'em all."

[Josuke Hisakata]

"Even still, I only wish I had been quicker. To minimize the casualties from incidents like these is optimal--if an effort isn't put into saving lives then by the end these attacks can ever reach an end the human race shall become extinct." He cryptically spoke. "Yet I will admit you are right, its impossible to save all of them and I'm no Hero to begin with--just the Reaper, out collecting heads."

[Yuriko Misaki]

"Word of advice, never try for perfection. It irritates the hell out of you when you can't be." Yuriko said, putting her PDA back in her coat and crossing her arms. "So where are you going now?"

[Josuke Hisakata]

"Its not perfection--its just preservation." He retorted, somewhat witty at that. "I'm not quite sure. I've only been wandering the country for the past few weeks, attempting to investigate into something." He told her, "A personal matter--one that took me away from INTERPOL for the time being--seeing as how I haven't received any negative responses from the message I sent I suppose they don't care." Josuke told her, "Why, are you interested in following me or something..?" He raised a brow, dropping the cigarette from his mouth as he crushed it with his food--extinguishing it.

[Yuriko Misaki]

"I thought about traveling for a little while in decent company." Yuriko replied, looking at him. She considered inquiring of the personal matter, but decided to be tactful.

[Josuke Hisakata]

"Decent company?" He couldn't help but chuckle somewhat, "I take it then that your usual company is... less-desirable." He pointed out, walking towards her as he fixed his jacket some.
