[ contrary to his fairly casual way of speaking, Lupin types on the forums exactly the way you'd expect a gentleman from the 1800s to write a letter. ]

My dear fellow abductees,

The recent events involving Shadows and Shadow-Monsters led to the unfortunate loss of my hat; with their activity subsided, I assumed that my stolen goods would be returned to me. However, it appears they had one last prank to play on me: I am reunited with a hat, but not my own. It is a navy blue pork pie hat with a red and white ribbon, adorned with a cute pink flower. I've attached a rather poor image of it - my description may be of more use.

[ attached is an artistic depiction of a hat. He did his best with the laptop touchpad and the paint program... ]

If you are the owner of this hat, it shall be returned to you. And if you have my hat - a fine silk top hat with a red tie - this is a notice of my intention to take it back, if you will not hand it over yourself.

Cordialement,
Lupin

Well! That's nothing short of amazing! I confess I wasn't sure it was possible at all. When I see him, I'll have to tell him at once. I have no doubt he must contribute to it in some way.

[messianic]

I'm sure he has too, since you have so much faith in him. I hope he's excited when he finds out. People have gone to the moon multiple times by my time, in fact.

[heartsteals]

I dearly hope he was among them. What did you find on the moon?

[messianic]

[...What a question.]

Moon rocks? There's nothing on the moon, Lupin-san. But maybe it's one of those things... like the journey being worth more than the destination, or something like that.

[heartsteals]

Really? I thought there might have been little green men up there or some such thing.

[ is he joking or not?? nobody knows... ]

I suppose I'll settle for the rocks and the achievement.

[messianic]

[No, he's gotta ask.]

Lupin-san, do you believe in aliens?

[heartsteals]

I do not believe nor do I disbelieve in them. However, I think it would be very interesting to meet one.

[messianic]

[Heeeh... well in all honesty:]

Me too. I think it'd be pretty amazing to get an outside view of earth like that, and talk to someone totally new from a different planet.

[heartsteals]

See, you understand me perfectly well! I think we would learn very many things! Maybe they would have some kind of futuristic technology to share with us, as well. I would like a cloak that turns me invisible.

[messianic]

Ah, that suits you.

[Harry Potter Lupin...]

You don't need it though, right? You can get into places anyway, even when you're not invisible.

[heartsteals]

Think of how much easier it would be if I were entirely transparent! I would never worry again!

Though you make me sound like some sort of sneak. You'll give me a bad reputation.

[ hint hint... ixnay on the iefthay stuff when they're in public pls minato ]

[messianic]

[Oh.

Oops. He was being too cavalier on the network, huh... he's good at this.]

That's true. Sorry, Lupin-san, I didn't mean to insinuate anything weird.

I guess I can think of lots of uses for an invisibility cloak. Like scaring someone with a prank or hiding so nobody can interrupt your nap...

[Minato. Why.]

[heartsteals]

[ minato... ]

Those are awfully innocent uses for such a nefarious device. You're a good lad.

[messianic]

[He's doing his best.]

Well, I thought they were pretty sinister. Either way, I guess I should let you go. I can hear Vriska-chan calling for me. Talk to you later, Lupin-san.
