USERNAME: #B91600 SUBJECT: A Map of Chroma

[heartsteals]

To my fellow refugees:

At long last I have completed a Map of the town and would like to share it with you all. I am far from a cartographer, having only made maps of interiors before this; nonetheless, I hope that it will be of some use.

I must also offer my thanks to Monsieur Bruce and his associates for producing a great many copies of this map. If you would like to have one for yourself, please stop by my home in Ruga - it's the house with red roses blooming in front. Otherwise, I have posted one in the Town Hall building in Ruga for all to view.

That's all that I have to say for today. Be well!

Yours truly,
Lupin

[ just as he says, there's a hand-drawn map of Chroma tacked up in the town hall! If your characters want their own copy, feel free to start an action thread coming to Lupin's house here, too; he'll be sitting in the kitchen with a stack of them to hand out. ]

You're free to label your own map however you like.

[ don't vandalize the public map please okuyasu ]

[pursestrings]

[but LOOP]

[heartsteals]

I'll know it was you, you know.

[pursestrings]

no shit dude
i'll write u a personal message

[heartsteals]

I'd advise you not to start something with me you'll regret.

[pursestrings]

are u gonna come beat me up cuz of some blue marker
is that what ur suggesting here

[heartsteals]

Please, do you think I'm some sort of savage? I'm opposed to violence.

[pursestrings]

great cuz i could break u in half
don't get ur ruffles in a knot, i'm not gonna hurt ur precious map

[heartsteals]

[ please don't remind him ]

You would do no such thing seeing as we are such great friends! Nonetheless, I'm glad you're deciding against a life of petty crime.

[ lol ]

[pursestrings]

[flexes]

drawing on a map isn't a crime dude

[heartsteals]

Vandalism

[pursestrings]

illegally hanging up posters

[heartsteals]

I'm already a wanted criminal in multiple countries, so it's no matter.

[pursestrings]

[YOOO???]

dude what the hell
no way
did u kill somebody???

[heartsteals]

What? Of course not! Did I not just tell you I am opposed to violence! Why is that the first thing you think of?

[ HE'S OFFENDED ]

[pursestrings]

maybe u turned ur life around after u killed a bunch of people
how am i supposed to know??

[heartsteals]

I thought you should already know - according to some other people from your country and time period I am quite famous in the future.

[ whoops... well, he can tell Okuyasu in person if he asks about it, maybe. ]

[pursestrings]

u may be surprised to learn this mr. ruffles but i am not that great in school
did u fight the government???

[heartsteals]

I am bewildered to learn this, Mr. Socks! You're so attentive when it comes to spelling, after all.

If you want to know, then come to my house; we can talk there.

[pursestrings]

shut up
u gonna make me take a map home?

[heartsteals]

No, but you are free to take one if you'd like. I'd simply rather not discuss details of my personal life in a public forum.

[pursestrings]

u started it
i'll come over to hear about ur life of crime

[Give him like ten minutes, and then he will turn up.]

[heartsteals]

[ it is hard to shake the feeling that he shouldn't talk about it - he's spent pretty much his entire life trying to keep his identity under the radar, after all - but after spending a few months here, it's only becoming more obvious that the stuff he did back home can't really hurt him here. It's not like Okuyasu's a cop in disguise.

Whenever he shows up, he'll find Lupin still sitting there with his laptop, presumably replying to people; he raises his eyes, offering a wave. ]

You actually came? I'm kinda surprised.

[pursestrings]

[Does Lupin have a chair Okuyasu can spin around and sit in backwards? He's going to do that, and get his elbows all over Lupin's table, like he lives there. Hello, fussy friend. He's actually been a cop this WHOLE TIME--]

I gotta hear about your criminal mastermind shit, dude. You really didn't kill anybody, huh?

[heartsteals]

[ as long as he's not rumpling the maps on the table, he can sprawl backwards in chairs as much as he wants... Lupin smiles a bit stiffly when Okuyasu suggests murder again. Clearly, he's not amused. ]

Of course not. Do I seem like the kind of guy who kills people? [ a sigh. ] I told you to call me Lupin - but my full name is Arsène Lupin. Does that ring any bells?
