[ fail!filtered from the pandora hearts cast ]

[ someone's been brooding for the past several days, and not even the chance to play with cute kittens has made him feel much better. he's been pondering over things, and very specific things too, but hasn't yet figured out how to go about doing said things.

which is why he's turning to the city now. ]

If you want answers to something, but no one will tell you, what's the best way of getting those answers for yourself?

[ and it's fail-filtered because he still doesn't really understand technology, okay. :( ]

[ It hurts to hear that; he knows what this is about, and while part of him wishes that Elliot would just leave it alone, not pry into things, it can't end well-- he also knows that this is something Elliot deserves to know. He's been lying and hiding the truth for so long, and even if he thinks-- even if he knows-- it's for Elliot's own good, it's obvious that not everyone shares that sentiment.

Not everyone knows.

So he'll knock on Elliot's door, only half-hoping that he's here today. ]

(Properly working filter cause he knows how to create one)

[valentineluke]

Play detective.

[ Elliot's not much in the mood to talk to people (at least, people who currently live with him), but people haven't really knocked on his door for petty reasons yet, so he'll humor whoever it is at his door. ]

Come in.

filtered!; teach him your ways, Luke. :(

[forhishonor]

How? I don't have any clues.

[ It's a second's pause before he does turn the doorknob, stepping into the room. He doesn't want to talk about this, never wanted to have to, but he knows he has less of a choice now than he once did. Than he ever did, except after it became impossible to tell him anything. ]

I'm sorry.

[ It's all he says, for now. ]

If beating them up doesn't work, stalk them. Or pay someone else to do the dirty work for you.

[ he's assuming diplomacy has failed at this point. ]

Re: filtered!; Who the hell do you think I am? Yoda??!!! :D

[valentineluke]

Search for them.

voice;

[blackshadow]

You research it on your own.

[ Not sure if Elliot is hopeless or if it's more complicated... ]

[worldofourown]

I hear drugs and torture do the trick.

[ voice ]

[forhishonor]

[ Elliot doesn't know the meaning of diplomacy. ]

I won't have someone else doing my work for me.

[ He does have his pride, you know. ]

voice;

[forhishonor]

[ The latter, but the former is also very true all the time. :c ]

I tried. The books here don't have anything on the subject.

[blackshadow]

[ Elliot pls... :(

Thinking this might be somewhat sensitive, Tyr tosses up a proper privacy filter for them. ]

What topic?

voice;

[forhishonor]

[ It's...kind of a long story. ]

There's a killer where I come from called the Headhunter. He's been murdering people in my family for the past year. I just want to find out who it is.

voice;

[blackshadow]

—Sorry... [ About your dead family... ]

...Are they here now? You can't really track someone down if they aren't here...

voice;

[forhishonor]

[ Yeah, he's sorry too. :c ]

I don't know. I don't think so, but people won't tell me anything about it, and keep changing the subject every time I bring it up. [ Which is frustrating, to say the least. ] If it wasn't so important, why would they keep avoiding it?

[forhishonor]

I'm not going to drug anyone! [That goes against his moral code. Torture, too.] How is that going to help?

filtered!; YES, YOU ARE YODA AND YOU WILL TEACH ME!!!......please. D:

[forhishonor]

Where? I already tried looking in the library.

Re: filtered!; These aren't the droids you're looking for :P

[valentineluke]

Shadow those from your world.

[ /patpat :( ]

It's probably a hard topic for them to talk about with you. [ Since it was your family ] You're asking about a murderer... One that's probably not even here. If nothing else, they're trying to tell you to put it behind you and try to forget about it. There's no point to looking for them here.

[worldofourown]

It helps loosen lips and drive your -- interviewees -- toward the truth.

[ voice ]

[pratful]

Then you'll just have to figure it out on your own. I'm assuming you've tried diplomacy?

filtered!; But...but...but... :(

[forhishonor]

I tried that too! But they won't say a damn thing if they think I'm around.

voice;

[forhishonor]

So I'm supposed to just forget about it all? [His voice rises in volume on the last four words.] Forget that someone killed everyone who was important to me and got away with it?

[A brief pause.]

Like hell I will.

[ voice ]

[forhishonor]

Of course I have. [He tried it. It lasted for about two minutes.] It didn't work.

Re: filtered!; But...but...but... :(

[valentineluke]

Work on your concealment methods. Then shadow.
