Episode 1: A Stranger In Familiar!
Today on Melemele, there has been a strange and rash sequence of events!
Officer Jenny has been busy, as a series of thefts has been noted across the city. The wealthy industrialist Viren has been targeted several times with valuables relating to the Pokemon Groudon.
As researchers are coming into the town today to help work on the Ultra Hole situation, on invite of the Aether Foundation, it seems that someone might have slipped through into the town. A certain woman in green might have been spotted in several of Viren's locations before a theft has been seen.
Some people might be starting to get uneasy about the influx of people. Perhaps it's time to investigate some of these rumors that a thief might have made their way onto the island...

Kaiba reaches over to give Audino a pat too. She's good. He takes a breath, looks over at Yuume, and then...
"But you're used to this. You must have...quite the job."
no subject
Especially not with Yuume openly wincing as her job comes up...again. "It...certainly is," she manages, telltale avoidance running strong. "I... ...If you really have to ask anything, I guess..."
It's a code for Don't, probably
no subject
He won't ask directly, not now, but...
"Look. I've made some hard choices to get to where I am. If you were following your best path, it's what you needed to do. I'm not going to judge."
no subject
She told him she would be more candid.
...She can't just go back on that immediately, because it suits her. Yuume's eyes are distant, and they stare off down the road ahead rather than to Seto himself. "...You would consider it bad, I feel. ...You already have such grim thoughts for what becomes of the world with the addition of Shadows, and the like. And for all the trade-offs involved, I can't see any way to explain what I do without you viewing it with disgust. I... ...I chose my work for a reason," she manages softly. "A reason that for me, shaped my very life. ...But with all I know about it, and about the risks involved, I cannot at all say it's 'not so bad'. Without my job, things would be so much worse, for so many... ...and more than that, the world I live in...it's my home. ...Of course it can't be perfect, but..."
But somehow it's that much worse to expect to hear fear, and distaste, if such things are explained.

He pulls Goomy up into his lap and gives her a look.
"I trust that you're a rational person who makes informed decisions, and I strive to do the same. I won't judge you hastily."
no subject
Yuume's look does not meet Seto's, not for a while. It moves to the ground if anything, as she considers her words. Perhaps even what to say precisely.
When she looks up it is with as schooled an expression as she can manage. "...When the glove was created, most people in the world did not have a shadow. And as well, there were those who were locked into a timeless state, due to the loss of their own in earlier times. In times of war, and even before it. But more importantly, there became a demand. ...And with the demand, those who would tear the gloves apart to find their own ways to 'use' them.
"...These hacked devices... ...they were used to steal the shadows of others. Initially, they could only sever- leaving renegade, unbound shadows locked in our realm. But then they began to tie them to objects as well... ...and more importantly, leave more 'time-locked' victims in place. They needed to do something. KaibaCorp...felt responsible, and in a sense was," she continued, closing her eyes.
And she holds up her glove, breathing out almost shakily. "...And so two unique gloves were created, and regulated, with two groups of people trained for their use. Officers, to catch those who would commit crimes against the Soul. ...And Doctors," Yuume explains. "...Those who would repair them."
"My job...what you saw against that pokemon, is not something I often do in duels against other people- or even in reality," she tells him. "My job is to enter the minds- the 'Dreams' of those who have been locked away from time itself, to re-find a shadow that matches the soul most among the monsters that have found their way in. To re-kindle the necessary bond and wake them again. ...That... ...That is what my investigations, and fighting, are for."
no subject
And another. He nods.
"I'm...exasperated that things came to that, but I'm not blaming you. You're doing important work. And it's hardly going to be an issue here."
He nods. "I...appreciate your honesty. I won't pry any more."
no subject
Disapproval, she supposes. It's gentle but it's there, and she can feel the discomfort in his words. But the words, all the same, are important.
Swallowing thickly, Yuume nods. "...Thank you," she says quietly. "For understanding." Understanding as much as could be understood, at least.
Shifting awkwardly, she runs her hand over one arm. "...I should leave- I suspect Nina will be wondering where I am, given the hour... ...I'm sure there's someone here who would do the same for you, neh?"
no subject
He rises and dusts himself off. "Thanks again. I'll...see you soon, I hope."
