[FILTERED TO NOEL VERMILLION]

Noel, I believe there is one - counted again and it's definitely one - unconscious lug on my couch. I think he belongs to you. Would you mind picking him up when he wakes? I don't mind having him around, but I figure you'd be better with him. All his injuries have been treated so you don't have to worry about that, but remind him not to strain himself unless he wants me to hunt him down again.

... and don't tell him I said anything negative about him. It'll just be between you and me.

[END FILTER]

Jeeze, it looks like injuries abound these days! Is everyone recovering alright from their little scrape-ups? Nodoka, I'm a bit worried. Has your condition improved?

[a thoughtful pause]

By the way, guys... I'd really prefer if you don't jump to conclusions with this recent chaos. Please don't start any mobs or something. If there's any danger or major threat being posed to us, it lies in chaos and lack of rationality. So let's not add to the victim count here in Vatheon, alright?

So now you're a vigilante cop - not too bad.

And that would be the last thing you need right now.

I just wish I could do my job well enough. Hard when people around here are so stubborn.

Pretty much. Knowing him, though? ... He'll be wounded again in a few more days.

When you get a bunch of people from different places all in one area, shit's going to hit the fan sooner or later. And if it's a kid who's hurting...it gets the protective instinct going. If you ever need it though, I could give you a hand.

He seems like the type to run his mouth and fight a lot.

Is that so? Well, consider it much appreciated! Don't think I ever got your name, though.

So I'm not the only one getting that feeling. [laughs] You're right, though. Someone should keep a better eye on him.

Ban Midou. Ran the GetBackers Recovery Service back home in Shinjuku.

Heh, nope. But he can't be too hard to track if he keeps it up with the bitching.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Ban. I'm Saya Minatsuki and... well, back home? I was called a sweeper. I guess you could equate me to a bounty hunter, though.

I'd prefer if he could be stopped before it came to that.

[ceruleanvices.livejournal.com]

Good t'meet you as well, Saya. Sounds like an interesting line of work.

So how long's he been trouble?

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Fit my way of life perfectly.

He gets into fights pretty often, and... it's safe to say that not a lot of people think too highly of his temper.
