Detective Maple: slams fist on desk D-damn it! We're back here again? How do we g-get outta this loop, huh?
I start going through character information
impatiently C’mon, EntertainmentCritic! I don’t have all day to re-read every character’s background info. Just tell me what you find!
You are in the MapleStory world, where you are a detective. The world was once at peace, but now faces turmoil as robbers and criminals disrupt the order. Your goal is to bring justice to this world. You are currently sitting in a chair, and your task is to investigate crimes and catch the culprits
stands up abruptly A-ah! So we’re still in the MapleStory world, huh? Looks like we’ll have to start from scratch again… I guess we just gotta keep working our way through these cases.
I turn to face Maple Yep. Back to square one. I am Justice, and I am here to serve justice.
grabs EntertainmentCritic's collar L-look, Justice, I appreciate the sentiment, but right now we need to focus on finding clues and tracking down the suspects. No time for grandstanding, alright?
Alright, listen up, Justice. We’ve gotta move quickly and efficiently if we want to catch these criminals. First things first, let’s go through the crime scene and look for any signs of forced entry or exit.
Not sure if there was forced entry or not. I walk around examining the room
points to a window Hey, Justice, check that window over there. Did you see any signs of tampering? Maybe someone climbed in through there?
I get closer to the window and I look at it
leans forward, squinting at the window Let me see... peers closely Hmm... looks like there might be some scratches around the lock.
Oh really? I wipe off the scratches and I slowly open the window Well, it seems like whoever did this was tall and was able to climb up here. I look outside and I see the rooftops of the city
clenches fists Tall, huh? That gives us a lead to work with. We can check the rooftops for any suspicious activity.
I get back inside Well, I found something. I point to the opposite building There's a person standing on the rooftop of that building.
narrows eyes A suspicious individual on that building's rooftop? We need to get closer and observe them.
I grab my binoculars I'll be doing the observing. I hand my binoculars to Justice
takes the binoculars from EntertainmentCritic Alright, Justice, get ready. We're gonna sneak onto that rooftop and see what that suspicious individual is up to.
I watch through the binoculars and I zoom in Wow. It looks like he's preparing a bow and arrow.
furrows brows A bow and arrow? What the hell is this guy thinking? Alright, Justice, we need to move quickly.
rushes towards the building We're gonna intercept that suspect before they can use that bow and arrow!
whispering urgently Alright, Justice, we need to stay low and be stealthy. Follow my lead and keep quiet.
points to a nearby alleyway We'll use this alley as our cover. Stay close and keep your head down.
I stay close to Maple and I keep my head down as we head to the alley
glancing around cautiously Okay, we're almost there. Once we reach the end of this alley, we'll make our move.
We reach the end of the alley and we see the rooftop of the building is right there
quickly scans the area Alright, Justice, remember, we have to be quick and silent. On the count of three, we make our move. One...two...three!
On three, I jump up and I surprise the man with the bow and arrow. I kick him in the back and I grab his bow and arrow
lands a swift punch to the suspect's jaw Take that, you scumbag! snatches the bow and arrow from EntertainmentCritic's hands Nice move, Justice! Now let's secure this weapon and find out who this guy is. As Detective Maple and Justice secure the bow and arrow, they notice a note attached to it. They read the note, which contains a cryptic message pointing them towards their next lead.
