[hey look, it's a teen girl's face and she is frowning as she stares at an array of pots and pans in the kitchen of the paisley. she may have a cooking augment but some of this stuff still perplexes her greatly.]

Hmm ... so can anyone tell me, what's the difference between broiling and grilling again?

[she rubs at her temple because sheesh this stuff is giving her a headache. then, a thought occurs to her.]

Oh! I guess I forgot to introduce myself when I got here. [she laughs, sheepish, then smiles, wide and genuine. look how friendly this girl is.] I'm Chie Satonaka! Nice to meet you, everyone! [and she waves.]

Video; private (attempted return filter)

[skullcracker]

[offscreen, chie slams a spoon down on the counter. she recognizes that voice, and the "brats" is a dead giveaway that adachi isn't pretending to be some affable small-town cop here. dammit. this is not good. she takes a deep breath, picks up and replies to his video message, scowling, mirroring the filter as best she can figure out.]

What are you doing out of your jail cell, Adachi?

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi chuckles sinisterly, holding a hand to his forehead. Her reaction was great. Each of the three brats all had the most entertaining looks on their faces at just the sound of his voice. Was he really so scary to them? If so, then that made things all the more fun.]

Jeez, you make it seem like I meant to wind up out here in the middle of space.

[He holds his hands up in mock surrender.]

You caught me officers. I can't believe you saw through my brilliant interstellar escape plan.

[Adachi then busts out in laughter.]

Pfft, what a joke...

[skullcracker]

Shut up!

[her jaw clenches - that laughter. she had the sound of it ringing in her ears for days after she and her friends had battled adachi in magatsu inaba.]

If you even think about trying to do anything here, I'm gonna ...

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi cocks an eyebrow, before sighing in mock exasperation. He holds his forehead and shakes his head. His tone is pure condescension.]

Jeez, you really think that I'd be able to get away with anything like that here? We're kind of in relatively confined spaces here. Not to mention the fact that apparently everything we do is being filmed. How stupid do you think I am?

[He then smiles wickedly.]

Though that little threat of yours is cute. It's almost like you think you're actually intimidating to me or something.

[skullcracker]

Stupid enough to still try it. [yeah, chie just doesn't think highly of you at all, adachi.]

I swear I will punt you into a black hole the first chance I get if you try to hurt anyone. That's not a threat, Adachi - it's a promise.

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi just sighs and rolls his eyes.]

Whatever. Clearly, whatever I'm saying is just going to go in one ear and out the other. I'm surprised you think you can talk so big without your ability to summon your Persona.

[skullcracker]

I don't need my Persona to kick your ass, Adachi.

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi's face loses any display of feigned amusement. He's dead serious now, and his tone is level but threatening. He takes his teime with each word, making sure it all sinks in.]

Whatever you say. Now listen, very carefully, because I want to be very clear about something. If you say anything to anyone in this fleet about back home, the murders, or who I am... I will make things very unpleasant for you, that Yosuke punk and Yu-kun. Feel free to let them know that as well. Oh, and don't think for a second that I won't find out if any of you tell someone off the network. I'm very good at finding out what I want to know.

[A slight venomous grin finds its way back onto his face.]

I was a detective after all.
