Friday Night Funkin' - Scornful Summer

Track 18 - Pink Shadow

"All that's changed is you've become self-aware."

Whatever happened last night Kapi, Nikku and S went ahead and cancelled the next meeting. S explained it briefly. In summary, Kapi was apparently better now and his contract dealt with.

S hadn't been around lately, going off on multiple adventures the past two days. You didn't mind much. It kept him out of trouble at least. He made it sound like he and Nikku were exhausted from the arcade but when you questioned it he got angry claiming he couldn't get tired. "You have any idea how much news from Mobius I missed?! I got so much to catch up!"

And thus the meeting was cancelled. You were just happy that Kapi was back in the game. Overwhelmed by sadness he was unpredictable. You and Tabi were worried for a hot sec he could've flipped.

Whatever S did to Kapi, got him hyperactive. He was in higher spirits of all sudden, even going ahead and obtaining a new meeting spot somehow. He didn't specify the location, you guessing he meant the arcade. He only stated that he couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it sooner.

It was still early morning, you and Tabi only having just woken up. With Kapi preparing the new meetup spot most things were on hold.

However there were other plans early this morning. Out of the blue Updike called asking if you, Tabi and Theo could a give few more statements regarding the attack. Re-treading old ground, Updike claimed the attack was important in the grand scheme of things.

His interest in Velseb had only grown. He didn't state why but practically demanded a play-by-play. He denied when you asked but you believed that your 'killer' had some supernatural powers or something that Updike was interested in. He ceased those questions with 'it is not your business to know my dealings with this Velseb. I shall explain when the time is right'.

Theo had something going on with his son and refused to come stating that Updike could seek him out if he cared so much. He seemed to be in a rather foul mood today so you left him in peace.

Now it was just you and Tabi in Updike's spacious office in the clouds.

"I want to go over what happened with the attack. Did the police come by?" Updike asked. He had one leg over the other and his arms were crossed. He didn't seem to be looking at you, rather staring down at his shoes as he sat back in the chair. Though you already gave him a basic summary he wanted it again, in greater detail.

Next to him was an assistant, hastily typing down all the words on a stenograph. You had no idea how they worked, but knew all the court typists had one.

"Yeah, someone called them. Heard gunshots." You say, adjusting your sleeves.

Udpike's expression changed. "What did you tell them?"

"That I didn't know anything. Told them it was either a random attack or some pissed off client." You were starting to feel like a suspect yourself, strange that you were the one being questioned.

"Client?" His eyebrow rose.

"Far as they know I'm a PI. I investigate domestic issues or something."

"They weren't aware of your security detail?"

"Well, yeah they knew. But all I told them was that it was a temporary gig."

"Did you call for help at all? That you three and Huggy were the only ones spoken to in that whole ordeal?"

"No and other than the chief and a few words with the responders I didn't speak to anyone."

"And you did not reveal the existence of Tabi or Huggy to the police."
