There was a very prominent jewlery shop inside the Tanjiro shopping center, usually filled with teenage girls swooning over shiny rocks that were too expensive for them to own in any reasonable amount of time. Today, however, a young man walked in. Other than a couple scars, he was remarkably attractive, and a couple of the women in there swooned at the mere sight of him. They had to be held up when he winked and shot a smile their way.

The incredibly stuffy store clerk, however, was having none of that. He scowled, not jealous in the slightest, walking over to the new arrival. He spoke in a pompously high-pitched voice. "Excuse me, sir. Is there anything that you need?" The young man turned quickly, wearing an inconspicuous smile.

"Yes, actually. I'd like to order a pair of burglars."

The store clerk blinked. "A pair of what?" And then two burglars walked in.

The young man grinned, entirely unaffected by the guns the two of them were swinging around. "Goddamn, I am awesome." He took an entirely necessary moment to adjust his hair before pulling down the sleeve of his jacket to reveal a fancy watch-like thing on his wrist, placed over green fabric. "Furai Henshin!" A blinding flash of light later, Mask Furai jumped out of the smoke cloud and dropped one of the burglars in the face. He stepped to the left, taking advantage of the sudden confusion to punch the other one with electricity.

Both burglars quickly fell to the ground, unconscious. Furai blinked. "Huh. That was surprisingly easy." Maybe something bad would happen soon.

Aleksandria had been developing a new add-on to his powersuit, though Madoka thought that it was pretty lame. Of course, he wasn't one to turn down a chance to test out Russian science in the field, so he still agreed to test it.

"Well, here we go."

He looked down at the belt and pressed a button. A grin of anticipation appeared on his face when it began to whir.

Madoka had found work at an incredibly prominent jewelry shop, which apparently needed more young people bodyguards to reassure the customers that they looked utterly smashing with their wares and to try and push the customers to buy the more expensive stones. Due to his time employed there, he was able to rephrase "it matches your eyes/ face shape/ outfit/ aura/ etc." in a couple dozen ways. Which was great because there were always things to learn!

He wore a pretty sleek suit with the whole security-earpiece-and-badge thing going on and stood in a corner. When ninja antics flourished in the store, he was the first to run over to Furai and grin.

"Furai-ojisan! How are you doing?"

Furai's seized up. Fuck. He remembered that voice. It was that one guy. From that one time.

In spite of the incredibly vague description of the event, Furai actually did remember Madoka. He sighed, turning around and placing his hands on his hips. "I told you people, I'm not that old! I'm only... I'm only..." He shook his head. "It's none of your business! Just don't call me ojisan!"

He blinked. Actually, he probably should have asked what was up with... "... Also, weren't you that kid with the power suit? What was up with that?"

"Will do, Furai-ojisan!" Madoka said with a goofy grin.

:genta19:

He nodded once Furai asked his question. "Well, it really isn't anything special. I can't henshin the way that you can with a watch. I told the scientists to get working on that, but you never know."

He shrugged. "They said that it's too much to ask for, but I think that they'll try to pull it off. They tend to do that."

Furai was making this face.
:genta14:
At least, underneath the helmet.

Furai shook his head. "Yes, yes, it's not nearly as cool as I am, but that's not the point." He took a step forward, head tilted. "Where did you get it? Who're the scientists you're talking about."

He crossed his arms. "They aren't evil or something, are they?"

was what Madoka's face was doing.

"How could they be evil? The scientists were so nice!"

He crossed his arms too and looked thoughtful, trying to recall how he had acquired the suit. Oh yeah, he remembered now! "I got it in the backstreets after I beat up a bunch of Germans. Actually, they were probably Norwegian, since they didn't understand my German. Well, no... They didn't understand my Norwegian, either."

Madoka frowned slightly. "Eh. But yeah, Aleksandria-chan gave it to me. She's pretty cool, even though she smokes. I tried to tell her that it's bad for her but she doesn't listen."

"Wait. Germans?! You got it from germans?" Furai frowned. "Are you sure they aren't the same germans that're responsible for the whole kidnapping thing that went down a while ago?" He shook his head, looking at Madoka with no small amount of confusion. How was this kid so unsuspecting? "If they are, then they're pretty evil. They kidnap children and turn them into cyborgs."

He gestured towards Madoka. "The suit might be a product of their research."

"...K-Kidnappings? From Germans?" Madoka blinked slowly as he processed the information. He hadn't specifically heard about anything like that. He paused and considered what that would mean. Kidnapping. Aleksandria. Kidnapping. Aleksandria was kidnapped? No, she was too tough for that. Aleksandria was a kidnapper?

...

"I don't think that they would do that. But to be sure... have there really been kidnappings?"

"Kid, don't you go on that... forum thing? It's been practically all we've been talking about ever since that whole Hoculus thing." Furai crossed his arms again. "There have most certainly been kidnappings. Heck, I went on one of the rescue missions."

He scratched the back of his... helmet, continuing. "Look, even if you don't think they did, it's too big of a coincidence to have two groups of super smart germans running around in Nagashima. That's too strange, even for us. Tell me what you know about these guys."

"...I... guess you're right. It's sort of weird."

Madoka slumped a bit as he thought it over. He had remembered reading the thread about the kidnappings. He just didn't want to admit it. "...The scientists there are funded pretty heavily, so they can do a lot with the suit. They have a manufacturer for their parts too, so they aren't afraid to try new things."
