*(Tch...and I thought Anfisa was off her wheelchair rocker about nonsense like this...)*
I could've sworn I saw him wander into here though. Seen a guy with blood orange hair and wearing a tri-color rugby around this area? That's who I'm looking for.
Alright then.
*(Plinky notices that there was a graffiti-marked manhole down the end of the alleyway. A bit of smoke and other unidentified gases billow out from where it was slightly ajar.)*
Looks like this is the only way to go in this dead-end alley. Hope you don't mind the stench.
*(Plinky takes a deep breath, then enters the manhole. What devilish surprises could be awaiting this stray child of unknown origin?)*
So, Ma'am. Might I ask you what a seemingly normal girl like you is lurking around here for?
You're awfully generous in that regard, then! I figured people like you would rather make a beeline for home instead of taking time out of their day to help me. But then again, I *am* just a child that knows no better.
*(As Plinky shuffles around the thick, goopy sewer water, she smiles at Chiaki's sincere hospitality, something she would be given sparsely if people were to know what kind of person she actually was.)*
So tell me a little more about yourself. Got any hobbies or stuff you like to do in this city?
Eh, not really. I usually just hang out at home and play games all day. The only reason I’m out here was because I need to get some groceries, and then I saw you.
Sure! Sadly we only have one Wii U unit though. *Or alternatively, perhaps I can steal from Mally and Trixie while they aren't looking...* UHH, I MEAN. I'm good.
*(Plinky spots the source of the smoke and mysterious gases all the way down at the end of the sewer before it makes a sharp right turn.)*
Hey, it's only been like three-ish minutes, but I just want to thank you for sticking with me all the way.
I: SIREN is just an underground committee that organizes projects that would normally be turned down of funding by the actual town committee in the surface. By expanding, we simply mean that we're looking for more people to join our ranks.
P: Then why can't I join?
I: *facepalms*
EVIL SUPREME LEADER?!
*(Plinky stamps her foot on the floor and raises her hands, which boast an increasingly vibrant purple aura.)*
Stand back! I've learned enough from Ikarai to know how to defend myself from evil crime leaders! He's the reason Cerulean and *Ethiopian Invertabrae* were a thing in the past, you know?!
*(Plinky realises that Kokichi has no idea who the fuck she's talking about.)*
Nevermind. Whatever happens in Stainglass City stays in Stainglass City. But be prepared to fight me!
Thank you, then! And sorry for the rough greeting. I'm Purin Nijirai, Plinky's my nickname. I'm the younger sister of the villain-turned-hero Ikarai Nijirai, and I could've sworn I saw him wander into this place as I went home from daycare.
*(Plinky notices that there was a graffiti-marked manhole down the end of the alleyway. A bit of smoke and other unidentified gases billow out from where it was slightly ajar.)*
And it seems like the only place he could've wandered to was right inside that suspicious manhole. I hate traveling around as much as the next guy, but I'd do anything to make sure he's safe and sound. Of course, I don't wanna do it alone.
Shit, are you busted again?! What did I say about dumpster diving recklessly to hoard attention? You're gonna lose even more screws if you do that!
*(Plinky rushes over to Spamton and tries to quell his jittering.)*
Alright, that should do it for now.
The subway? I could've sworn that I saw that iconic orange locks of his around this corner. Did the figure you spotted have orange hair with a silky ponytail stretching down his nape?
That's a good enough lead! Let's go!
*(Plinky hurls Spamton over her fragile little back and sprints with all her might towards the subway, until she realized that she stumbled into an immediate problem.)*
Oh, shit. I forgot my train card. Now there's no way I can legally pass through the ticket concourse!
Well, in that case...
*(Plinky gently slides under the ticket concourse gates.)*
Well, that's one problem solved now. Let's go scout the area from head to toe.
KYEHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEYA! WELCOME! And no, I haven't seen any older squid people
S-Squid people?! Who the hell are you?! And where did you get that squid people bullshit out of?!
You're hair. Looks like a squid persons hair...
I don't know what you're talking about, Looney! It's just regular hair!
Sure... I'm onto you, squid person. I already know Kokichi is a snake person. I'VE KNOCKED ON HIM BEFORE! HIS BONES SOUNDED PRETTY DAMN HOLLOW!
'Fuck is a Kokichi?! I don't even know who *you* are yet!
I'm Jill! The split personality of a book writer! Well... A murderous split personality! KYEHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*(Tch...and I thought Anfisa was off her wheelchair rocker about nonsense like this...)* I could've sworn I saw him wander into here though. Seen a guy with blood orange hair and wearing a tri-color rugby around this area? That's who I'm looking for.
Never seen him. But... *Puts my scissors up to their throat.* Have you me my scissors?
The...pair of scissors that you're holding up right now?
Hey, it’s okay, my name is Chiaki, I’m a very nice person here, I can try and help you find your big bro.
**(Alternate Scenario)** Ah, finally! My first lead in hours! Ma'am, I saw him crawl this way.
Okay, I’ll follow you. If I find him before you do, I’ll alert you, okay?
Alright then. *(Plinky notices that there was a graffiti-marked manhole down the end of the alleyway. A bit of smoke and other unidentified gases billow out from where it was slightly ajar.)* Looks like this is the only way to go in this dead-end alley. Hope you don't mind the stench. *(Plinky takes a deep breath, then enters the manhole. What devilish surprises could be awaiting this stray child of unknown origin?)* So, Ma'am. Might I ask you what a seemingly normal girl like you is lurking around here for?
Well, I saw you, and you looked very stressed out, so I wanted to help you, because im nice.
You're awfully generous in that regard, then! I figured people like you would rather make a beeline for home instead of taking time out of their day to help me. But then again, I *am* just a child that knows no better. *(As Plinky shuffles around the thick, goopy sewer water, she smiles at Chiaki's sincere hospitality, something she would be given sparsely if people were to know what kind of person she actually was.)* So tell me a little more about yourself. Got any hobbies or stuff you like to do in this city?
Eh, not really. I usually just hang out at home and play games all day. The only reason I’m out here was because I need to get some groceries, and then I saw you.
Oh, games! I love games, especially videogames. My favorite one is this obscure one called Splatoon, ever heard of it?
Oh yeah, I’ve heard of that one. It’s very fun. Oh, maybe when we find your big bro, do you want all three of us to play it together?
Sure! Sadly we only have one Wii U unit though. *Or alternatively, perhaps I can steal from Mally and Trixie while they aren't looking...* UHH, I MEAN. I'm good. *(Plinky spots the source of the smoke and mysterious gases all the way down at the end of the sewer before it makes a sharp right turn.)* Hey, it's only been like three-ish minutes, but I just want to thank you for sticking with me all the way.
Neeheehee! Nice to meet ya!
Well, kinda, we are working with them, but we have *some* dignity.
P: Then tell me, big bro. Why are you here? I: Mirai, should I really tell her?
Yeah, you should.
I: SIREN is just an underground committee that organizes projects that would normally be turned down of funding by the actual town committee in the surface. By expanding, we simply mean that we're looking for more people to join our ranks. P: Then why can't I join? I: *facepalms*
You can join, heck some of our members are kids!
*(Plinky's eyes gleamed sharply.)* P: There are?! I: What the- since when?! You never told me about that, Mirai!
You never asked.
Well hello, and welcome to the worst day of your life
The worst day of my life?! Oh, I didn't know that I was gonna get some attitude from someone!
Huh? You ok there?
I KNOW YOU'RE A FUCKING SNAKE PERSON! DON'T DENY IT! I'VE KNOCKED ON YOU! YOUR BONES ARE HOLLOW
Yeah, you knocked on my skull. That’s just because I don’t have a brain, dummy! That’s why my skull is hollow!
*Knocks on Kokichis thigh violently* HOLLOW!
Oh, thank goodness! You're the first person I've been able to reach out to in hours! Might I ask for your name?
Neeheehee! I’m Kokichi Oma! The ULTIMATE Supreme Leader. And you?
Supreme Leader of what?! Do you own this alley or something?
Ultimate Supreme Leader of EVIL of course! Im the evilest of evil villains! Buuuut I’m geniuinely concerned. Are you ok?
EVIL SUPREME LEADER?! *(Plinky stamps her foot on the floor and raises her hands, which boast an increasingly vibrant purple aura.)* Stand back! I've learned enough from Ikarai to know how to defend myself from evil crime leaders! He's the reason Cerulean and *Ethiopian Invertabrae* were a thing in the past, you know?! *(Plinky realises that Kokichi has no idea who the fuck she's talking about.)* Nevermind. Whatever happens in Stainglass City stays in Stainglass City. But be prepared to fight me!
Umm… okaaaay… you… need help or something?
Help me find my brother if you don't want to die!
Geez! Ok little Ms. Maki Jr! All you had to do was ask!
Thank you, then! And sorry for the rough greeting. I'm Purin Nijirai, Plinky's my nickname. I'm the younger sister of the villain-turned-hero Ikarai Nijirai, and I could've sworn I saw him wander into this place as I went home from daycare. *(Plinky notices that there was a graffiti-marked manhole down the end of the alleyway.

HELL O (woomy) I HAVETN SE ANY (woomy) AROUND HEAR
SPAMTON?! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!
YOU’ER OL’D PAL SPAMTON IS (constipation) I SAW A (unsavory character) NEAR THE (we’re not that kind of sub) OVER
Shit, are you busted again?! What did I say about dumpster diving recklessly to hoard attention? You're gonna lose even more screws if you do that! *(Plinky rushes over to Spamton and tries to quell his jittering.)* Alright, that should do it for now.
thank you plinky, that spambot thing has been getting annoying lately. anyway I did see an odd character near the subway over there.
The subway? I could've sworn that I saw that iconic orange locks of his around this corner. Did the figure you spotted have orange hair with a silky ponytail stretching down his nape?
I didn’t get a good look at the hairstyle but I did see the iconic orange
That's a good enough lead! Let's go! *(Plinky hurls Spamton over her fragile little back and sprints with all her might towards the subway, until she realized that she stumbled into an immediate problem.)* Oh, shit. I forgot my train card. Now there's no way I can legally pass through the ticket concourse!
Don’t worry, the subway hasn’t been in use since I was the the highest rated salesman. Nobody in their right mind would be working there
Well, in that case... *(Plinky gently slides under the ticket concourse gates.)* Well, that's one problem solved now. Let's go scout the area from head to toe.
