[ Video - Because I want all of DDD to find out about Shelly's job and this is a good start]

[Shelly is staring at the camera. Looking serious. VERY serious. This is probably the most freaking serious kid you have ever seen.] I know nobody really knows what is going on, but... There's a... a thing... It might very well be related to this!

... But, um, it might be dangerous, so, please, if you would rather not get involved with... [noticeably hesitates] dangerous people, y-you might want to look away...

[Holds up a card with a stylised pink seashell on it; his hand is rather shaky at first, but it gradually becomes more confident. He takes a deep breath before continuing to speak.]

Has anyone seen a card like this before? W-Well, it's not the card that is bothering me... It's the design. Does anyone know of any... u-um... p-p-professionals who use this for a symbol?

Um. Dude. Kid. Dude. Why have you got that?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I found it here.

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

Uh, do you know what it means?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I... I am not sure if all cards mean the same, sir.

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

That one's kinda bad news. You sure you don't know? Because you were on about dangerous people and stuff, why would you say that?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... I know of a card that is a lot like this. But it has a different picture on it.

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, whatever, a really bad man uses that card.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... What kind of bad man?

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

The kind that kills people. So, yeah, he's really bad. Dude, what are you even doing> there?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Killing people isn't always bad.

And I woke up here yesterday.

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

Kinda depends who you ask, man.

...What's your name anyway?

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

...

My name is Charles... Who are you?

[totally-dude.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right. Matt Engarde. Every kid knows who I am.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

I... I have never heard of you. I'm sorry.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Something about that card certainly rings a bell, kleine.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Please tell me more, sir!

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Well I can't really say for certain, but I think I remember seeing a picture of it in some of the old case files.

I would need a second look at the file...that would mean some digging though.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, sir!

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know what I come up with, kleine.

[killerbaseball.livejournal.com]

... B-Be careful.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Not to worry, danger is where I live. I'll be just fine.
