I mean okay. Now I know what your weakness is!

[sleight_of_hand]

......you are evil.

[ ...geeze, his text thread with Viktor is ridiculously long. Like holy hell, he needs a moment to scroll back and look because he didn't even realize they talked this much. ]

[ ...okay, anyway, more important matters. ]

Two things.

I've got someone I need to warn you about.

And a favor to ask you're really not going to like.

[fourlevels]

[ Well that doesn't sound pleasant at all. ]

Okay?

[sleight_of_hand]

There's someone here from my world, after my point in time. From how Kitagawa-kin describes him, he's worse than me.

[fourlevels]

[ Definitely not good. Wherever Viktor is, he sits up a little straighter. ]

Worse in ... /that/ way?

[sleight_of_hand]

Yeah.

Kitagawa-kun couldn't give me a number that he was responsible for, just that it was going on for years.

[fourlevels]

What's their name? I'll warn Yuuri and Yura about them.

[sleight_of_hand]

Goro Akechi.

I think Kitagawa-kun already told Yurio, but it doesn't hurt to repeat.

[fourlevels]

I think I will repeat it.

... You know that in light of this, I think it's important you tell them.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ It's a long moment before Adachi replies, mostly because he was scared out of his mind. Admitting it to Viktor had taken all the courage he had managed to muster. Telling it to everyone would take so much more than that, even if he had come close sometimes, especially with Yurio at the hospital. So many times he had wanted him to try to understand that he screwed up once, and was petrified of doing it again, so that's why putting himself in danger was okay, even if it wasn't really. ]

You're right.

I will after this favor I need.

[fourlevels]

What's the favor?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ It's a moment again, mostly because he can't figure out how to word it. Finally, he just comes out with it: ]

I need you to pretend to be my seeing-eye dog.

[ He did say Viktor wasn't going to like it... ]

[fourlevels]

... What?

[sleight_of_hand]

Kitagawa-kun and one of his friends did a dumb thing and decided to meet with this Akechi kid.

I figured hiding in plain sight as a blind man would be the best way to keep an eye on them.

[fourlevels]

If they're from your world, won't they recognize you anyway?

[sleight_of_hand]

The Japanese police are a prideful, "honorable" group of people. They wouldn't make the name of a detective that did the things I did available to the general public, not to mention my appearance.

The guy would need to be a detective to recognize me.

[fourlevels]

I guess that would be a slim chance ...

[sleight_of_hand]

[ But Viktor was still worried. It was kind of cute. ]

I'll need to wear sunglasses, but I can dye my hair too.

I'll let you pick the color.

[ He's going to regret that, isn't he? ]

[fourlevels]

So when is this meeting happening?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Oh god Viktor. ]

Soon. We need to move fast.

[fourlevels]

We can have you get a new style too! That would really throw them off!

[sleight_of_hand]

Okay, sure. I'll trust your judgement on that too.

[ This was probably the worst idea ever, but Viktor probably knew twelve people that could do this, and do it quickly. ]

[fourlevels]

Clear your schedule for this afternoon and I'll see who's available.
