In which I am involved in a hard-nosed police case!


Kak: *on Finrod's desk trying to write with his pen, but mostly chewing on it*

Finrod: There must be a better way.

Kak: *drops the pen* I'm making a REPORT

Finrod: Why don't you just tell me your report?

Kak: *affronted feather fluff* I learned to write for a reason, elf!



Finrod: *casually* Fine, fine... Whenever you're ready. *resumes his work*

Kak: *scritch scritch scritch*

Finrod: *itches to write it out for him, but doesn't want to get pecked*

Kak: *labouring over how to write 'suspect'*

Kak: zuzpac

Kak: *or has written the tengwar equivalent of that*

Finrod: Have you finished?

Kak: *looks at it, then nods, pushing it forward with one gnarly little raven foot*

Finrod: *picks up the paper and glances over it, trying to discern the writing*

Kak: *looks so totally proud of himself*

Finrod: So, tell me more about this.

Kak: but it's all in the report!

Finrod: Yes, I can see that, but I like hearing it firsthand as well.

Finrod: *not at all because the report is like trying to decipher a healer's prescription, no*

Kak: well. If you insist. *scratching, caw-y voice* *puffs up importantly until he's a giant ball of feathers* I pursued the suspect on wing for three blocks as she stopped and grabbed at least three wallets on her way!

Finrod: And you said she was a... *peers at the report* brown haired human?

Kak: Yes. I'm very sure. Brown

Kak: may have been wearing a gown

Finrod: Alright, and then what happened?

Kak: well, she stopped at a fruit stand. *taps the report* ten minutes. She laughed, twice. I think she was doing a human mating ritual. Shiny coins exchanged creepy hand-limbs.

Finrod: *resists the urge to rub his eyes* Anything that might lead to us finding her again before another set of citizens is pickpocketed?

Kak: *trying to sound like he's heard the elf and human police officers sound* At NOON, I remember because the hands on the clock all pointed one way, up, she walked across the square and bought a hank of meat. It was not the good kind of meat. I believe it was cow.

Finrod: Anything else?

Kak: Then she went to one of the small cottages and went inside and did not leave again until my shift was over.

Finrod: One of the cottages. In what part of the city?

Kak: Oh, I could just take you there

Kak: it had a bunch of flowers in the front none of the others had

Finrod: Yes. Yes, do that.

Kak: *hops onto Finrod's shoulder, can actually perch on it comfortably since Finrod's bigger than a human* forward!

Finrod: *grabs his cloak and heads out*

Kak: *hops onto his head so Finrod can get his cloak on*

Finrod: *winces, but fastens his cloak* Alright, where is this cottage?

Kak: *takes off, flying on ahead from stop to stop to wait for Finrod, semi-patiently*

Kak: *caws if Finrod is too slow!*

Finrod: I'm coming. I can't cut the corners you can.

Kak: and they say elves were the chosen ones

Finrod: Hush hush.

Kak: *gets him to the cottage with the crocuses in front and waits on the lawn*

Finrod: *makes careful note of the address*

Pickpocket: *comes out to yell at the creepy bird to get off her lawn*

Kak: That's her! That's the hair!

Finrod: Hush, I said.

Pickpocket: Excuse me? *looks and sees Finrod's armour* o.o *runs back inside and slams the door*

Finrod: *motions Kak back over to him*

Kak: *flies up* so, do I take her out?

Finrod: *can't help but laugh a little* Yes, after a fashion. Fly round back and see that she doesn't attempt escape.

Kak: *flies off to obey, then starts screaming the police have the place surrounded*

Pickpocket: *comes fleeing out*

Finrod: *easily catches*

Kak: *struts around the station after about his 'high profile' case*

Finrod: *really hard not to laugh at his antics; but at least spares everyone by writing the follow-on report himself*
