Episode 1: A Stranger In Familiar!

[fallers_npcs]

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...

"Ahh, coffee would be wonderful, but if you're running late I shouldn't take up too much of your time," she insists, coming in all the same. As she moves, she turns on her glove- a small hologram display of screens appears, and she begins moving her hand just slightly to pull up the images and files she needs.

"You have noticed from your own evidence perhaps, that there seems to be a woman in green at each of the scenes..? I...noticed something odd about the pokemon with them. One moment..."

Aha. Vid file- a tiny scene in holographic 'colour', in the palm of her hand. She's yet to press play of course.

Jenny peered at the Pokemon. The woman in green had a Smeargle in that first picture, and a Magmar in the next. While the woman wore sunglasses, the Pokemon seemed to be... Jenny inhaled at the sight. "Beady eyes, of course. Ditto. The common theme is a Ditto."

She smiled and got up to go to the coffee maker. "You've earned that coffee."

[shadowslipping]

"Ah- so this was useful then..~" she cheers, clearly relieved. "I hadn't been sure, but it seemed odd..."

Wait, wait- "Oh!! O-Officer, didn't you just say you were late..!?

[fallers_npcs]

"Not so late that I can't call this in," replied Jenny, fixing Yuume that coffee cup. "This is big news. This might be the first major clue towards our culprit."

[shadowslipping]

"Aaaaaah...." Oh goodness... "All I did was use the same techniques I would from home... ...For your sake, I will try to drink this quickly at least, neh?"

[fallers_npcs]

"That sounds fine to me. Want to come down to the station to bring this evidence over?" asked Jenny.

[shadowslipping]

"Ahh, of course." Yuume nods- and discretely keeps an eye out for the sugar to add to the coffee. "That would probably be best for the investigation, neh?"

[fallers_npcs]

Jenny passed over the sugar packets as she grinned. "Yes, that would be the best. We'll take your information down at the station."

[shadowslipping]

There is a grateful smile, even if she's about to use...A lot of them.

She has Needs okay-

"Understood; if I could have simply mailed it I would have...it's a little awkward I imagine, relying on one device for it, but I can't figure out how to convert the files..."

Fortunately she'll have a Rotom to handle that soon!

[fallers_npcs]

"That's fine, we're working on a system for mail delivery soon between Fallers now." replied Jenny.

[shadowslipping]

"Ahhh, is that so? That will be extremely useful...I'm glad..." Ah, well. To business in any case.

Coffee is mixed, and coffee is...finished!? That fast!?

"Right- let us be off then, hm?"
